Chapter 6

Dark, dusty and smelling like sour wine, my favorite tavern was mostly empty. Due to the time of day and not because it was pretty rank. I guess when you are drinking, you don't notice little things like, "Whatever have I stepped in?" and "Excuse me, sir, but that was my shoe you just sicked up on." Still, I liked this place, and people that know me always find me easily.

"Care for something to drink?" The barkeep was unusually friendly today, perhaps due to his lack of patronage, "Oh no, not you again! What is it this time, drunk or hero?"

"Just bring me my Ledger," I said, trying not to be too annoyed with the man. After all, he had put up with me throughout the worst of my drinking. "I will need some equipment out of storage."

Looking through my Ledger, I selected some of the things I thought I would need on this search. I spotted an interesting entry for "One Pair Gloves (?)" I decided to bring the God's Gloves along as well, because you never know.

I paid the storage fees. Not too bad, considering most of my armor was still at the Smith. That would have to be my next stop.

A rush of air announced the arrival of my favorite Poet and Muse- Blaster.

"Gareth! You look well!" The brown robed Muse said, sitting beside me.

"Blaster! Good of you to come, old friend, this looks like it will be important," As the barkeep was still hovering about, I ordered a bottle from him to drink while I explained about the search.

"So, the Princess has been misplaced?" Blaster chuckled, pouring himself a glass. I guessed he was one of the many who weren't overly fond of her.

"According to Morgan, the local search was supposed to have been quite massive." I said, pouring the slender Muse some more wine, letting him drink most of it. After several years trying to kill myself one bottle at a time, I had suddenly discovered moderation. I think that the Gods were somehow responsible.
