Making it through the next day was a real struggle. All I wanted to do was finish so that I could get back to the temple and accost a priest. Was that too much to ask? You’d think not, but with spring, the taverns were getting absolutely swamped, and I was run ragged the whole afternoon. By the end of my shift, I hated customers vehemently. I angrily grumbled to myself about their irritating demands as I walked back to the temple, even if they hadn’t done anything that bad.

Cornering the man was a bit harder than I’d thought it would be. He was a wily sort, and seeming to know that I was looking for him and hid in his office through dinner. Or he was just as busy as I was, one of the two. Eventually though, I tracked him down and beat on the wooden door.

He popped it open, looking down at me with a quirked eyebrow.

“What brings you to see me? Hopefully, nothing bad.”

“I tried to send a letter to my family back in Orsken.”

“Oh? Did you manage to get hold of your family then? That’s wonderful news!” He seemed genuinely happy for me. Until he saw my face at least.

“No… actually, the village has been destroyed. The messenger couldn’t find any lead either. I was hoping… Um, there was a priest in the town, Rosk, is there any way you could contact him? He might know something.” I looked at him hopefully, unsure of what he might be able to accomplish with his magic.

Father Mannory opened the door fully. “Come in and sit. Do you have the letter from your messenger service?”

I slipped in as he was pouring tea for us, handing over the slip of paper I’d gotten once he’d passed me the cup. He took a few moments to look over it, frowning.

“I sent someone out to get his information on your story, but my messenger hasn’t quite returned yet. I’ll have to look into what happened, but I imagine that Rosk is making his way back here. We are the main temple in the region, so once his assignment is done he should return.”

“Why hasn’t he come back then?” I asked. This was all too much. I just needed to know, needed to know if my mom and brother were all right.

“Be calm, Alana, it often takes a priest a bit of time to travel. Most towns we stop in have some need of aid, and unless we are rushing off to some emergency, we will try to provide it.”

I knew I was being selfish, but I wanted to go home. Even if there was no house left, I could at least be with my family. I was desperate, almost ready to cry. If that stupid priest could just hurry up and get here, maybe I could be with Mom and John again, or at least find out if they were all right.

Father Mannory interrupted my spat of selfloathing. “Is there anyone
