White Ghost And The Poison Arrow - Plot & Excerpts
A light mist sits over the lake, and there is dew on the grass and bushes around. Arella opens her misty eyes and blinks at the brightness. As she rolls over, she finds Maska just a little too close and jumps. He wakes with a start and yowls at Arella. “Hey, you were the one who made me jump.” She laughs as she pats his head. He licks her hand then yawns. “Gods, your breath stinks Maska.” She holds her nose. They both get up and stretch simultaneously. There are butterflies in Arella’s stomach as she starts to collect her things for the long walk ahead. First she gets dressed and puts on her boots, tying her hair in the same way as she did the day before, with the two braids on each side over the top of each other. Then Arella collects the food she has cooked off and takes the furs for her bed. She turns the bedding inside out and wraps the ready wrapped meat in it for safekeeping. She knows the leaves will stop it from leaking into the bedding, so she will not have to sleep in a dirty bed. Arella then puts on her cloak and uses the ashes from the fire to shield her eyes.
