User blog:Monkee Handz/Traveler's Mark: Chapter 3

So yeah, I fell asleep suddenly, so now I'm going to do my fan-fic. And to kinda make up my absence, I'll do it twice (or thrice) a week now...

In Elgaia...
Alma and I were walking inside a small town after such a long travel. The sun was already setting, kissing the tops of the mountain tops gracefully. The ember colors were radiating a pleasant feeling on the sky. I would have admired the scenery, but it's hard to concentrate when you have aching legs.

"Welcome to Elgaia, the place you'll be staying for most of your adventures," says Alma. I looked at Alma, who was still standing up straight.

"How can you still stand after such a long travel?" I complained.

"I've gotten used to walking for long distances. It's part of the life of being an adventurer."

Of course. The life of the adventurer. How can I think of such things. I surveyed the area around me. There weren't many buildings, so the place will sure be quiet. The river that runs across the town is quite shallow, and there are two bridges that loom over it.

"So, how does the town look?" asked Alma.

"It's allright." I kinda wondered if this was the only place. "Hey Alma, are there any other towns to stay in? I mean, I like this place, but just wondering if there's any place to stay in."

Alma looked out to the mountains. "Unfortunately, there's no other town to stay in. They were destroyed by the Gods long time ago." She was stating to shed tears.

"Hey, how about we sit down? My legs still kinda huts, ya know?"

"Yeah..." We sat down on a bench near the enterance of the gate.

"So...you were saying?"

"...my hometown, La Veda, was amongst those places that were destroyed by the gods. It was laid in ruins ever since..." She paused for a while, then water was forming all over her face.

I felt sad for her. The sight of your hometown being destroyed by Gods is definitely a sight to be scared of. I gave her a hug to try and calm her down, not really wanting her to cry.

"...Thanks," she said, softly. "I'll be alright." She stood up, back to her bright smile. "How about I show you to your home? We need some good sleep for tomorrow's adventure."

Now that she has mentioned it, I do feel tired now, and my legs really need the relaxation. "Sure thing, ma'am." We then started to a blue house that was on the otherside of the river. It's wooden, but it was built sturdily, so it should suffice.

"Get some good rest, Monkee. We're going to have a good adventure ahead of us."
