Finder Cloudburst Chapter 6, Part 2
Fleagrass sat quietly
‘Neath the chill morning sun.
I fell at the gate
into deep sleep.
Awakened in my bed
by doting Wren Icemud.
with panicked eyes I
looked up at her.
“Rest easy, my dear Grub.
You are in your own bed
Your head was injured.
A guard found you.”
“The healer tended to
your wound. He set you right.
How were you injured?
Where have you been?”
I told her my story,
of wandering the wilds.
I spoke of the hole
and the strange room.
Wren said, “How intriguing!
I will do some research
to discover what
that place could be.”
“You must stay in bed
for several more days.
You must recover
from your head wound.”
“I spoke with Tick and he
said that he would care for
you during that time.
He’s a good friend.”
Over the next few days,
Tick stayed in my home with me.
He kept company
and prepared meals.
I regaled Tick with tales
of my grand adventures.
I told him of the
underground room.
