Goodbye for now

Sinth stood at the dock, tossing the orb of illusion in his hand and looking at Brent's new airship. After the fight with the dragon the curse had been broken and the device had returned to its unreliable self. He noted that Joan had already finished packing up their gear and was readying the ship for takeoff.

"Are you sure you won’t come with us?" Brent asked.

Sinth covered in casts from the back alley healer he had had to use in Smelter City shook his head. Thanks to the money provided by the town for winning the chicken throwing contest (he had had the highest score at the time of the dragon attack), he had been able to help Brent buy his new ship and still had a fair bit left. However, he was still on the run from the Mage Council and he couldn’t afford to get them in trouble. He would have to wait until later to ride in Brent’s new ship.

“Not this time, my friends,” he said, waving and stepping back as Brent hopped on the ship with his passengers. He knew these two would eventually find him or he would find them again because, for a mage, there were never any goodbyes.

He watched the airship disappear into the distance, his friends going with it. It was a happy sight for him.

He slowly hobbled over to where he had his travelling disk set up and spread it out as wide as he could. He sat down on it and looked up at the sky from the field of the airport. It was a beautiful blue and reminded him of the ice crystals within the depths of an ice block.

He shook his head, remembering the effects of that spell on his body. A few days had gone by and he was still having nightmares.

He tipped the little travelling disk forward with his knees and the disk hurtled down the road at an immense pace. He decided that he would head off to the mountains and thank his dragon friend, who had disappeared shortly after melting the ice, and then see what the world had for him.

Sinth had a smile on his face as he skipped along the road. In his mind, he was remembering his new-found confidence and all the good things that had grown from it. The life of a mage would always be a hard one, but he would always have the memories of the day when the worst mage of them all defeated the mightiest of dragons. That would be something to tell the grandchildren and then some.
