There was a lot to be said for Longheat in King's End. The heat was nowhere near as overpowering as it was in Torchline, the Hollowed Grounds, or even Stormbreak. Tal had picked a lovely, clear day for their delivery of flowers around the perimeter of the Barrows, and their only company in the sky at the moment was a few puffy white clouds floating along high above. Tal had arranged for them to meet in the southeast corner of Meadowreach, at the very edge of the Barrows, and the flowers of the season were bright and colorful all around them.
The Peregrine's deck was loaded up with baskets of the already-gathered flowers ready to sprinkle down onto the landscape below, and the ship was looking freshly scrubbed and painted from the work Tal had been lavishing on her after Flowerbirth's storms. "I'm startin' t'think I need t'see about gettin' th'ol' girl some work t'make 'er bigger," he admitted ruefully to his partner and his Archon as he made sure the lids on the baskets were secure. He didn't want their precious cargo getting blown away on accident! "See if I could pray t'get 'er keel lengthened an' room for a second cabin put in." And the magic that let her carry two people strengthened to support three. Unthinkable, three of four years ago, that he'd want more than one person around on the deck of his ship but now...
Well. Hail. Things had changed and in spite of the Void they'd mostly managed to be for the better. At least, now that their little family was whole again.
Of course, it was a lot easier to think like that when he could lean down to rub Sascha's head before he slipped an arm around Alys's waist and leaned into her side, the Longheat sunshine chasing LongNight's lingering shadows deep into hiding in his heart. He grinned at his companions - human and animal alike - as Boreal leaned into Sunjata's hip and rumbled happily for pats of her own from the dragon-man. "I was figurin' we could head west first an' keep th'sun behind us? Skirt north o' Mourn an' break for lunch after we get clear o' th' border with th'Feverlands?"
This is an 8 round PQ to place flowers around the Barrows to protect it from the Void.
Round 1:
Finish preparations to get underway and suggest any modifications to the day's route you can come up with!
