A Lord's Return

[Lechian Lord 1027]

Slinking into the harbor silently, the fog drifting with the breeze.

The beams creaking and the sails tattered from the long journey.

Quiet in the waking waters, the waves battering the sides endlessly.

Lines thrown off the sides, the ship moored in a hurry.

 

Augustus stares over his crew, their appearances long since battered by the weather.

His eyes weary and tired, a smile is shown on his face as he gazes over the castle that he longed for.

 

"Four long years..."

He speaks quietly to himself, his hands running across his coarse beard.

He watches his men embark off the ship, cheers and merriment on their faces at the end of

the travel, four years since they've been home.

 

"I wonder if he hates me..."

A worried look appears on his face, a guilty pain in his chest over his choice.

He slowly walks off the ship, his footsteps heavy on the waterworn beams of the dock.

He walks up the paved steps, his eyes taking in the sights of the fruiting vineyards.

His gaze sweeps across the front of the castle, a dull ache shown in their blue depths.

 

"I guess its time..."

He takes a pause, glancing down at himself, his appearance different then the past.

He hears voices in the distance, both old and young rejoicing at the return of the men.

He walks towards the entrance towards the awaiting crowds.

 

 

 

 

Was gonna write a crappy rp post but im tired and the beginning makes me cringe ;-;

 

Augustus is back from his travels, ready to return to his holding to continue his work.
