The air was cool against the dragoon's face as it whistled by. An autumn chill nipped at him as he pulled his fur skin mantle tight around his mouth and nose. Torc's body heat kept this core and legs warm. She was never cold.
"This is long past due," Hoke thought to himself, having only had contact with his family by letter for years now.
He snapped out of his thoughts and focused ahead, chasing the setting sun on the waning horizon. Stars began to twinkle high above him. The view was breathtakingly spectacular. He would now have more time, he hoped, to enjoy these simple moments.
The rhythmic movement and sound of Torc's body and wings was relaxing, almost hypnotic. He sighed, becoming overcome, thinking about these past years spent in service to Heroica. How many people he met, how many adventures he had been on, the lands he had seen, the...
POOF!
He barely saw a pink cloud pop in front of him as a parchment folded into a letter smacked him square in the face. Annoyed, he peeled it off his nose and cheek as it flapped in the wind, almost slipping of his face before he could secure it.

"And I thought I was done," he said aloud.

If my peers believe me to be fit for this office, then I accept. My proposal is that each party should elect a representative. That representative will present their ideas, issues, and what-not to the Council. The Council should have 7 to 9 members. These are my only recommendations. All other decisions should be made by the people of Eubric, their representatives, and the Council. Heroica is to be a non-entity in the political workings of Eubric. If these terms are agreeable, I accept. I will guide the Knights, Dragoons, and Paragons in executing their duties righteously. However, I will not be returning alone.

He folded up the parchment and tossed it over his shoulder, leaving it to fate as the note disappeared with a small flash and a small pink cloud.
