War games it is then!
"Ah, yes. The old tournaments," the Keeper nodded. "A good idea. You Kurach shall come here to have a tournament to settle your differences, like you used to when settling territorial disputes."
"Then what is sacrificed?" Hilael asked.
"Territory, of course," mused the Keeper. "And if the agreement is not honored, he will come for the derelict."
"Who might that be?" Shanku asked innocently. "The winner?"
"The one who wants you back since the fairies stole you away," the Keeper said crypticly. "He misses you so."
"Then why doesn't he just come and talk to us?" Shanku asked curiously. "Most of us are pretty friendly."
The Keeper barked a raspy laugh. "Such a naïve little pup. Things do not work that way. It is not his custom, but I suppose he could be asked to make an appearance before the start of the games."
"Shanku, I don't have a good feeling about this," Hilael muttered to his sister.
"Smart pup," the Keeper rumbled. "Not many have met the Goblin Hound and walked away as they were before."
"We should leave," Hilael urged.
"Indeed. You will be missed. But I shall expect to see you back here for the games," the Keeper chuckled and withdrew.
"Well, that was interesting," Shanku nodded satisfactorily.
"This is not good," Hilael warned.

War games it is then!
Either one of them is too relaxed or too serious. Maybe a bit of both.
Annnnd cold #5! ARGH! Bloody hell, the sooner summer gets gone, the better. This had better not be another year of ten, 'cause I'm in no mood to lose my sense of smell for a year and a half afterward again. Or it be greatly diminished, anyway. At least it's not contagious. Mine are always kind of a perfect cross between allergy and cold symptoms, unless I catch a normal cold from somebody else. Me and my weird body...
For all points and purposes, I'm going to be offline until October 1st. Since that is technically after the equinox, I reckon I'll see y'all this autumn! Enjoy the buffer.
