And yes, I have a teensy update...
Having half-heartedly put some clothes, money, food and a few personal belongings into a backpack, tried to carry it, nearly fallen over, taken out half the clothes, tried again, and resolved to try to eat the food as soon as possible to lighten the load, Claire scribbled a note to her parents.
‘Hi Mum, hi Dad,
Don’t worry about me – I’ve just gone on a little quest. Don’t know when I’ll be back, but I’ve got enough clean underwear for a few days. Don’t touch my things while I’m gone. If I die, let Alison have my boots, she’s had her eye on them for a while.
Love, Claire xxxxxxxxx
PS Angelos asked whether you could spread the word I’m off to defeat the Evil Overlord. Maybe you could throw a party or something?
PPS Angelos as in the messenger of the gods. I ran into him today.
PPPS Actually, I had just fallen off a cliff, and he caught me, and made me promise to take on the quest if I wanted him to save me.
PPPPS I was kicked off, actually. Love you xxxx’
Claire re-read the note. A bit blunt, perhaps, but she couldn’t think of anything better to say. She put it down on the table, shouldered her bag, staggered a bit and walked out of the door before she could change her mind. She walked down the path, glanced back at the house, and set off down the road.
There she had been thinking today was going to be boring. Instead, not only had she been kicked off a cliff, but had been rescued by the messenger of the gods and sent off on a quest to save the world from the Evil Overlord. This sort of thing seemed to happen a lot in the old days, according to storytellers, but nowadays it was generally thought that the gods couldn’t be arsed to interfere with the world any more – if they were real.
Well, no question about that any more, Claire thought. Though it wasn’t necessarily the way she would have chosen to find out.
She suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. How on earth was she going to do this? The Evil Overlord had always been in charge, and was surrounded by government, laws and guards with funny hats. How could she defeat him?
She thought back to her storybooks. When heroes set out on a quest, they normally had an elderly sage wizard of some description to guide them. Shame there weren’t any living locally. Most respectable wizards nowadays lived in the capital, renting their services to rich businessmen, or were under the pay of the Evil Overlord himself.
Oh well, she thought. I guess I’ll have to find an unrespectable one then. And a scoundrel, a best friend and some kind of nobility would be good too. Oh, and a horse.
