Divided
If Sarn could split his time ‘tween two places,
and two places only, he’d have to choose
Mount Eredren as one of his bases
to fulfill his indenture’s terms or lose
the bargain he’d made for his bro’s schooling.
If his indenture allowed a second
abode, (which it didn’t), he’d make that grueling
trek to Mithranza Provence. It beckoned,
its mountain passes whispered of wars won
and lost by heroes of old; in the lake-
side village, he’d stay for months for her sake,
the lovely woman with whom he’d begun
a friendship his indenture didn’t allow
and something his master couldn’t disavow.

This was a great response to the prompt. It was extremely creative and I love how you used poetry to describe your answer.

Thank you; I recast some of this thinking from a later book in my Curse Breaker Saga for this where he basically thinks the same thing in less poetic terms.

Great response to the pro,pt, Melinda…one cannot bu feel sad for Sarn that the second abode is unattainable…

It is at the point in his timeline that I wrote this but he’s overcome so much, he’ll find a way around this too. I wish real life was like that.
