Truly I dislike those words because unpleasantness
normally follows. But I must admit that I did not expect what the Lord asked of me.
He granted leave to “hunt” in his territory and just beyond. He even showed
which direction I should take to search for my beloved. And if I succeed, we
are to return to his castle and be guests.
I have not yet decided whether to honor the
arrangement but accepted it in the meantime in order to gain his assistance.
Remaining here would be interesting. Things are
familiar. And a great amount of comfort could be (and has been) provided. A
servant has been attending me and I have been polite to her. She seems
appreciative though she is only shadow and cannot speak.
I understand the host a bit more now also. He had the
opportunity and means to vanquish me for violating his borders and offered
shelter instead. But I do not think he is to be trusted completely. He is like
me. A protector of his family and lands. Though there is a cost for such domesticity
that is not paid by the one in power.
