Raetian Tales 1: A Wind From The South - Plot & Excerpts
Messengers had already gone out southward into the valleys reaching out to either side of the Reuss. The other councilors took the news home. On the day Mariarta, her father and Theo were to leave, a man in dusty clothes and a long brown cloak awaited them in the courtyard of the inn. The Knight of Attinghausen handed Theo a bag of boar sausage, saying, “Don’t let me hear you jeering at my hunting any more! When you live on the Schweinburg, you do what you can to keep from being overrun by pigs!” He turned to Mariarta’s father. “I am sending word to my people, east and west. There are some good cattle breeders in the Schachental; we’ll see what can be found.” Mariarta’s father bowed deep. Mariarta curtseyed low. The Knight raised her, saying, “Good luck to you, maiden. Take care of your father.” He eyed the bow on her back. “And take care what you shoot at!” They made their way up the valley and parted from Theo at Ursera, staying there only a night.
