Golden Autumn is here

Autumn comes turning the maple leaves red, squirrels play among twigs and branches collecting nuts and acorn.High above the canopy the mother eagle feeds its fattening its baby with rats and fishes, caught amid  their mating ritual. A lone coyote prowls the forest thicken red with fell leaves and dried grass. The autumn sun sends the spirit of the forest to a leisurely mood, the clouds adrift too seem to have fallen asleep.

The command fort seems to be the hive of activity now, it was completed a few months back and not very soon from there we have our logistics up and ready. Autumn wind carrying the smell of ripened crops and fruit flow throughout the corridor. Villagers gather for audience, notes are read out loud, complains are heard, gifts are exchanges and trade commences below the castle gates as usual. Bread brought in from the lowlands are exchanged for cheese and meat of the highland cattle, spices and garlic brought by the people of the desert are exchanged for fruits and vegetables. Another happy day in our happy go lucky kingdom.
