The Cave Part 6
If you have ever heard a tale about yourself that you cannot remember and doubtless think is made up, you will know how I felt when Tharkin related all that the eagle had seen of me before my memories were scattered. Of far distances and traveling companions that I did not recall, camping out under the stars and making our way to the mountains with deliberate purpose. The great bird had lost contact with my party once we entered the forests, and the seven other members were not seen again by him or his brethren since.

The Cave Part 5
Tharkin never answered my question. I tried to get him to interpret the vision I had seen in the smoke, but he claimed he had not seen what I had. This was no more satisfying for me than it would be for anyone else, but after several days of working with him maintaining the extensive gardens and tending to the livestock, I learned that he was master of what he would reveal and when. If I wanted to learn more of the voice in the cave, I would have to seek it out, or stumble on the answer in my own time.
