#Goose #feathers drifted
across the pond’s edge,
borne on currents through
reeds and shallow water,
tumbling over stones,
absorbed in reflection,
settling where
fractured sunlight
shimmered on ripples —
pale remnants of a
startled flock’s passage,
lingering as a muted
echo of movement.

The archer carried an #unusual #quiver, more of a bag filled with arrows, and wore it on his hip instead of his back. He told us that archers in medieval times sometimes tucked arrows in their belt for rapid firing.
He nocked one and let it fly. It hit a perfect bullseye.

An unusual quiver hung in the air,
while steam drifted between firs along ridges,
as iron thunder climbed through deepening snowfields,
sending muted echoes threading pines along passes,
and stirring cold shadows curling beneath timber.

She said nothing, only made a #soft #resolve to herself. From then on, she never spoke of her troubles, never put herself forward. She lingered like a ghost in the background. Always observing, never speaking.

She went out into the woods to gather the herbs. They were #plucked by her own hand, the nightshade and #wolfsbane, as well as basil, rosemary and thyme. Soon she would make a feast fit for a king...and get rid of her werewolf problem, forever.
