The Caves: A Caves Of Qud drabble.
--==++==--
I did not tell my father I was leaving. I hadn’t told him much for years. I took his sword, his chainmail, his buckler. I laced my boots–a gift from my mother. I marched. Down the long road. Through the dark forest. Over the high mountains. Trudging through salt marshes.
I sucked buttons because I was thirsty, and without water. I slashed at crocodiles. I threw rocks back to the baboons. I set foot in Joppa.
My father would never know. I became a ghost when I left–something transient that never returns.
I had no home now, but the caves.
