King and Crown

We walked silently along the Autumn Road for far longer than I would have thought. The rain the night before softened the grounds and we walked silently through the woods.

The silence was a comfort though and we were more than used to it as wardens of the Northern Brake. It meant long hours moving as quietly as possible, becoming ghosts among the trees.
