Series: Where the Wind Blows Title: Sea Winds Rating: G Event: 110 Word Hurdles Competition: Decathlon Words: 110 words Summary: A young Lindhall Reed runs away from home.
-
He leaves Scanra with the spring, carved runes from the god’s rite burning fire in his back. He sleeps on his side and is careful when he takes off his shirt. They’re pale scars, almost invisible by the time the sea winds carry him to dusty, colourful Carthak. But he knows they’re there.
When asked later, he will say that he chose Carthak for the reputation of its University: the best in the world. But he hasn’t just left Scanra; he’s run, and signed up with the first trading ship out of Jarnskolm.
As the ship leaves, he watches until Scanra is a distant smudge on the horizon and breathes.

First of all, you're so prolific!! Second, I love the last line. And third, the runes are a very cool detail.
