      Nestled among the high grass at the base of a fallen log, Bastion, chief watchman of his town, sat smoking a pipe. He watched as the rings of smoke floated gently to the sky and seemed to merge with the white clouds that passed overhead.

      The string tied to his foot was attached to a float that bobbed upon the water. It was a warm summer day, and a good day to sit back and enjoy life around the pond. His sword and cloak, resting by his side, were always at the ready as he lounged basking in the sunlight.

      It had been many a day since the call to arms had stirred him from his restful place, and today seemed to be another one of those relaxing days. If anyone wondered whether or not he really had been looking to catch something, the absence of bait on his hook told the real story.

      Only the rumble in his stomach and an empty cup broke the quiet of the moment. Well I guess it’s time to get moving, he said as he stood and stretched, letting out a distasteful grunt while scratching his belly.

      Food! Food is what I need, and maybe a bit of cider, he said eagerly. He reached down to grab his cloak when a sparkle in the sky caught his eye. He watched as it seemed to float and dance above the pond, traveling this way and that. He shaded his eyes from the bright sunlight to get a better glimpse, but all he could make out was the flutter of wings.

      Hmm, it may become a meal if it comes down any closer, he thought, never taking his eyes off the shiny object. Frogs were always in search of tasty bugs, and the pond was a buffet of flying delights.
