Usher Hill
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 28243
|
Fred gazed up at the windy heights of Usher Hill, still unsure of whether
or not this was such a good idea. Well, at least he had his picnic
basket. Most folk never ventured near the Hill, as it was also home to
the Cusith, an enormous hound, dark green in color and with a long
braided tail. Whenever his baying was heard from the Hill, nearby farmers
would quickly lock up their daughters and wives because the hounds
mission was to round up women and drive them to a fairy mound near North
Umbria so they
might supply milk for unseelie fairy children. The thought his father would advise him to go directly into harms way just to converse with an owl still seemed a little strange. But it seemed he had no choice. The Hill was steep on all sides, and getting to it's top would be a real ordeal...without the threats of wolves and wood-goblins and the dreaded Cusith. At least it had pleasant meadows good for picnics.
