The Riders

On a cold winter's eve in the realm of Vangrashire, in a town located just a few miles from a castle of Baron Gere, lone feminine figure stalks around the poorly lit street. In her heart is regret and sorrow for what she is going to do. She searches for one house in particular. She hears a door open and throws herself against the wall of the nearest house in the shadows. She hides until she hears the door close and the light go out.

She clutched a small child next to her bosom. The child barely three months old: the woman was doing what she felt was right even if it would kill her on the inside. Her family had recently become involved in some weird conspiracy. It could mean her and her husband's life she didn't want her beloved son to suffer a similar fate.

She continued north to a poorer section and searched for her best friend's house that would be free of accusation once things got hairy. They were able to support themselves fairly well each year, considering they were bakers. She looked into the window and saw the bedroom light was lit. The robed figure picked up a small basket and placed it on the top of the steps and set her son inside with a note attached to his blanket. Saying to treat him as their own and don't tell him they adopted him. Jarule was To be raised as a farmer and to be kept from the militias and military. She looked upon her child one last time and gave her son her solid gold necklace. She kissed him on the fore head and knocked upon the door before fleeing into the night, never to be seen again.
