lugh was a coppery stallion. fianor, in her royal blue velveteen cape, rode him with skill. she had with her a couple of bags full of essentials: a few dresses, some sandals, a thick journal, pencils for sketching and a fountain pen for writing. she always carried scissors, candles, toiletries and supplies for binding her thick, long, chestnut hair. she had a sleeping bag, a small tent, enough food for the journey and a few mementos from home. and of course she had gifts for henzel and galanderin. they always appreciated seeds, beads and books.
the journey would take at least a week. starting from the valley and making her way through the foothills and canyons to mount owlish was always risky. there were bands of rebel outlaws who since the great shutdown liked to prey on anyone and anything. they had lost their houses, their pick-up trucks, their televisions.
