Garrick

     Garrick Thornbridge stood at the alter for his god, Kyp.  He stood there giving thanks for the successful campaign he had just completed.  This was a joyous day, the large bear that had been harming children would not harm any child again. 

     A tiny man half of Garrick’s six foot nine inch size came up from behind.  The man cleared his throat to get Garrick’s attention.  “I have this for you.”

     Garrick turned to see who had interrupted his prayer.  The tiny man held out a parchment.  Garrick took it, and then turned back to his prayers summarily dismissing the tiny man.  He would read the contents of the parchment later.
