Chapter 4
Chronicler has had trouble finding
a horse and is walking around in the evening when he stumbles upon Kote by a
bonfire waiting for spider-monsters. One of the scrael knocks chronicler
unconscious. When he comes to, Kote says he killed 5 of the things and plans to
bury them. Chronicler passes out again. Kote reveals he was wounded in the
attack.
Okay, this is starting to get good! Hopefully these scrawl are the beginning of a full on demon invasion! Let find out wh Kote and Bast can do about it. Chronicler should definitely just find something to hide behind.
Chapter 5
Kote returns to the inn and Bast
tends to his wounds.
Bast mentions something about
thinking Kote isn't suppose to bleed - is he human? Some hints that maybe Bast
is the one that's not human - calls Kote's "people" primitives and
sings a song about lending some of his Immortality.
Chapter 6
Chronicler wakes up in Kote's inn.
He knows who Kote is and was looking for him. Kote is pissed. Apparently some
serious shit went down in the past and Kote is afraid for his life. Also: not
everyone believes Kote is the good guy. Kote has also heard of Chronicler - he
was famous for a book debunking the existence of dragons. He offers Kote a a
chance to set the record straight. Kote reluctantly agrees, but wants 3 days to
tell his story. Chronicler agrees,
reluctantly, since it will make him late to his next appointment.
I had a moment of confused
loyalties as I had liked both characters so far and then it seemed like they
would be at odds. Then it became clear that this was a device to set up the
backstory. Now I'm wondering if the bulk of the book will consist of the story
Kote tells Chronicler or if it will be a shorter backstory to set up more
action in the present.
