Furnaces Of Forge (The Land's Tale) - Plot & Excerpts
As evening came, the animals had drifted from the town and headed north. The weary Muddles had made their way to their homes, thinking of dinner and of their beds. Grunge walked through the quiet Common to the bandstand. The Mix had ended and he was glad to have his own legs back. He appreciated how difficult Leaf’s injuries were for her and promised himself he would visit her later. He looked around the bandstand. The rats had left, scurrying north with the other animals. Grunge hoisted himself on to the railing and sat with his back against a carved upright. He watched a twilight mist spread across the Common, clinging to the trees and rolling across the few flowers that had not yet succumbed to autumn. The terrible sadness that he had felt earlier was still with him. He could not bring himself to believe that the Myrmidots would knowingly bring harm to the Land, or to the Muddles or the Beadles. Although the different peoples of the Land kept largely to themselves, it was a comfort, snugly tucked away in their lives, to know that the others were there.
