Baby's first steps
With a heavy thud of iron and leather, a large sack of equipment crashes onto the base of a tree. Next came a sheathed sword which fell point first before the rest of it fell onto the ground, like a tree fresh from a woodcutter's work. And finally, the owner dismounted from her steed, the heavy ka-clink of her spurs signaled the touchdown onto soil. Her blue eyes took a heartful view of the horizon, another day was ending. As the sun sank into the ground, with the sky painted orange, a soft autumn breeze carressed through her body toward a clear purple border that symbolized the coming nightfall at the opposing side of the sunset. She took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled a sigh before she let go and sat down at the tree with the dropped sack next to her. The young lady knight leaned back against the trunk as one leg curled to bring her knee to her chest, fingers laced together and placed themselves onto her knee to acheive a suitable position for herself.. She could relax now, another day of traveling completed for Lady Sachiel. She watched the horizon a little longer before she snapped out of her daydream and gathered items in her sack to make the fire for tonight.
Several hours had passed by, her steed now sleeping peacefully and she herself was snuggled up in a thick sleeping sack, just her and her journal now, her trademark munak hat was placed next to her. She opened it now and began her entry:
Oct 30th
Dear Journal,
It has been one exact week since that day I received the hat from my father. And that dream, that strange dream came back to me again and again since I last wrote. It won't be any different from last time tonight I presume. Though, after seeing it so many times, I can at least list down what I have seen.
-A female monk, blonde hair and by her ears, she wasn't human. -A male assassin, the previous owner of this munak hat. -Brown rolling hills, exactly the one I'm on right now. This is were it will begin, my first steps.
It appears the dream between these two took place near Juno. It's too dark and I'm too exhausted to investigate now, though I can see the floating city from here. I'll resume tommorow morning.
I'm lucky to be here at all, the head chapter master granted me my wish simply because he believed this would benefit me about knowing the world outside of Prontera.
Though, it makes me wonder, and perhaps, if I finish or I lose this, will make the person reading this wonder: Why am I doing this?
You know, to answer you truthfully, I don't know. I really don't, well at least with an answer that would make sense. I could reply "I want to get this dream out of my head, I feel like I'm cursed!", but I'm not. In all actuality, maybe the only statement I could possibly give, if an answer really is in demand, is: "this interests me, I want to know about them.". Its not hard to tell these two that haunt my dreams were an item together, and that they loved each other. So I'm really just curious about what happened to these two beyond this dream I have. Did these two live happily? How did these two live their lives day by day? Or are they even alive now?
Tommorow morning will be the first day that it will begin. That my little "adventure" will begin. Wish me luck mother, father, your little girl's 22 now...this will be the first birthday without you two.

With her eyes fighting to keep the lids open, she closed her journal immediately after she had finished her most recent entry. "Mm, time to sleep...", she whispered to herself, yawning and stretching, "..tommorow..is..an-ther...day.".
With that, her journal fell with pencil inside, from her lap and landed partially on the munak hat, causing it to open up onto the latest entry. Slowly the breeze rustled with life again and the dust, as if sentient gathered around the opposite page of her entry in the form of a hand and stuck there. Under it appeared as a weak scribble that read, "Good luck birthday girl..." |
