Moonspear I've had fame and fortune

Alaric breathed easily in the early morning. He stretched out his body that was beginning to ache. Too many years of reckless driving. He had worn down the pedals and made the shifter smooth. But here he was.

Alive with children out and about. He had been a waestral, a rogue, he had been a lover to a prince and a princess, a story teller, a prisoner, a healer, a singer. And a leader. Now he was back in the lower ranks. Back to being just someone who helped out. It was both freedom and a cage. 

But today he found himself beginning to look among the garden he had so lovingly tended. His thoughts moving from Elentari to Sialuk to Treepie to Kinusi to Katmai and back again.
