AtS S3 – Connor in Quor-toth

Steven wished he were still in his nice, safe cave home. Winter meant zero sunlight for months. Bitter winds whipped at the child as he cursed his father. Holding a metal gas lantern in front of him, he tried to find a scent trail even as the wind snatched it away from him.

The boy had to fight to keep the lamp shuttered enough so it would stay lit, yet open enough to allow him some vision. Why had Father chosen now for hide and seek? It was a game best left to summer. Sighing, Steven trudged on into darkness.

Poor Steven....

but it made Connor such a fun, strong character.

(One of my client's son's is named Connor spelled that way, and whenever i type his name, I wonder if he's having to go on scary hunts or chasing down buses....)
