Fright



I

Ah, I have been such a fool.

I wish these few months would just disappear so that I could go back to that nice and simple life I had before this all began... ah... that's not true

We killed trolls. Several of them. That journey was truly successful. And the others that followed. I have seen more things and places than I thought would be possible. I have agreed to join the most far reaching adventure I have ever experienced by traveling to north with the greatest guide one could ever imagine. And I might have begun to develop feelings toward that one person I shouldn't have

And I have been foolish enough to discuss that with my sisters and with my Aunt. Well, they got spooked, all of them. The aunt threatens to send me to the nearby boarding school for young ladies if I utter one more word of that what I spoke, Sumu has given all the lectures she has in the issues relating to major age difference and things as such.

It wasn't the disaster I expected it to be! I talked with him, apologized him for my behavior. I think he understood, as he did not disapprove or mock, only hailed our continuing friendship.

He still agrees accompany me there, he intends to gather those rare flowers he seeks to his dyes and to make new marks on his maps about that region, and I can travel with him so that I will discover that part of the world and get new stories to be told!

There will be a true adventure! Finally! I must get warm clothes and a better dagger, that old one is but rusty and inefficient... and food, dried meat I think, that will last longer.. and Aunt Am has to check Frostbell's hoofs -

We are going North! This must be the best day of my entire life!
