The Eager Guide

seven_cities.12

He finds us rather than we him: a lean, easy-smiling man who seems to carry a little of every tongue along the trail and swears, hand pressed to his heart, that he has stood before the gates of the golden city with his own eyes. He asks only a guide's wage and a modest share of the glory to lead us there. Target Leader listens with the practiced wariness of one who has heard this very promise before, in other valleys, from other mouths. The men, though, have already made up their minds, and their eyes shine every bit as bright as his.
