Author: Gramarye
Word Count: 100
As the Black Rider slowly regained consciousness, he became aware of two things.
First, one side of his face was throbbing.
Second, someone or something was pulling on his hair.
He could do nothing about the first, not yet. But when he made the effort to roll from his back onto his side, he discovered the reason for the second -- a scrawny black sheep that looked rather indignant at being interrupted in mid-chew.
Cursing in several long-dead languages, the Rider staggered to his feet. Merlion and the Sign-Seeker brat would pay dearly for dropping him in the godforsaken Falklands.
