Brim's breathing faltered,his footing became weak. there was a thumping sound, and then a bright flash.... ... ...Brim sat on top of his wagon looking ahead down the road. Massy was in front doing a good job at staying on the path and Brim whistled alittle tune. The path was narrow do to the mountianous region. A little ahead of them was a village begining to take shape, the road became more used as they entered the village. Out from the left a man came into view, waving to Brim. "Hey there Brim, was your trailzzz happy." Looking at the man not truely knowing him, (or did he and just not know it) smileing back to the man as they road by. "Yuppers there have been nice to me as always." Nodding to Brim as he waved again."I shall see you in the inn later this evening then Brim, enjoy yourself." And with that the man went back to his buisness. Thinking alittle clearer now Brim wandered who the man was but that thought soon left his head and a new one came as they neared the local inn of the village. Where am I?, I'd better ask the inn keeper he said to himself mentally.Stoping along the side of the inn, Brim jumped down out the wagon. He then grabbed to odd shape peices of wood out of the wagon and placed them on either side of the rear wheel. Now that that was taken care of Brim headed into the inn. Entering the inn Brim felt as if he had been here many times before, but he didnt have much more time to think as he was bombarded with hello's. Before him in the inn where a few seated at the bar and ofcourse the keeper behind it. Most waved and the keeper said "Hello Brim How go's, your usual I suppose." Brim only nodded as he walk to the bar and took a seat at an empty stool. The keeper brought over a sweet smeeling drink to Brim and said "There you go Master Brim" Smileing he added "You never can sit in the same place twice, can you." He said with a wink. Smileing back "Nope I always like new things." The keeper went back to doing some things behind the bar as Brim drank some of his drink. Looking up from his glass and then around the room Brim noticed a bright and colorful poster hanging on the wall just beside him. Since it had gotten his attention he decided to go and take a better look. He put his glass down and stepped down from the stool. A strap from a pouch snagged on the back of the stool and his foot missed the bottom rung of the stool, Brim fall forward towards the floor.... Another bright flash ... A laughing came from the darkness that followed ...and then Brim could hear his name being called ...... |
