Choice 1: Fill In The Story Challenge: ONE PEACEKEEPER AMONG SEVEN

Just outside town, he paused in the slightly chilly, still air, sat on his horse, and surveyed the town in the slight distance. Smoke rose from chimneys and, nestled there in the valley after the flat grasslands, the town looked so peaceful. It was good to be home.

Home.

When had this place become "home"? How had he ever ended up here as one among seven peacekeepers?

Peaceful, yes. That's what it looked like but, honestly, he knew better.

Having some interesting information to tell the others about a certain visitor on the way, he flicked the reins and rode into town. With the commotion this would cause, this should be an interesting day...

Fill in the story to answer the questions it raises. Whose POV is it? What's the information they're carrying? Who's coming? Is it going to be a funny encounter? Angsty? Dangerous? Could it be filling in a gap in the past of one of the seven? A dark secret they've held? A humorous episode from their past?

Choice 2: Write a story using NO DIALOG, just all narrative.
