2025 P : Passengers
In the challenge, "P" is for passengers as illustrated in an excerpt from Windmaster. It also reflects on guild house politics.
Anger colored Ellspeth’s thoughts so much that passersby on Stratven’scobblestoned streets moved aside to avoid contact with her. Blinded by heruncontrollable fury, she barely noticed. “How dare he?” Two porterslooked up at the venom in her voice, then at her glare, bent back to theirwork. “The Sea Falcon is mine!” Ellspeth snarled. “Just because he’s acouncil member of the House of Cszabo doesn’t give Third the right tochange my orders. As if I would sail without resupply and shore leave formy crew.”
Although she pictured what she would like to do to the object of her rage,she refused to even name the man in her rant and used his position titleinstead. “Wool and dyed fabric. He wants me to take the Falcon for a loadof wool and dyed fabric instead of paying passengers. Passengers whosefares were paid by the king! I’ll get the council to back me. Third mayhave more rank, but I have the king’s request.”
I hope you enjoyed this insight into the world of windmaster. ~till next time, Helen
