It didn't take long for Atheline to arrive at the Court. He had managed to escape everyone's clutches after living the Spitting harrows.
His brother and Zelpher, who to his surprise got along well, had tried to inquire about the forest phenomenon, but he had bypassed them all.
At that moment his only thought was seeing his wife and resting. Spending three days in a forest was never something to be proud of.
It was the most uncomfortable moment of his life.
The court at the moment, was louder than ever.
Participants from the hunt had started to trickle in. Some had wide smiles on their faces, others carried their injured companions while others mourned their losses.
Merchants sounded in their crowded stalls, taking advantage of the returning crowd of both spectators and participants.
Atheline swore he heard a few Merchants use his name in their sales but he was too focused to care. None of that held his attention for long.
