(wow greekgirl. Just wow :| ) (I am bored now, too, so I am gonna just have a little fun with this.)
P
Empress landed just outside a small town near the foothills of the mountains. 'I will be back,' I said mentally.
The early morning was quiet and tranquil, and I stopped at the gates, standing proud and tall to wait for the gatekeeper to notice me.
"Hey, you down there!" came a yell from above me. I looked up at a wooden perch around fifteen feet high and found a tall, burly man staring down at me. "What brings you here at a time like this?"
"I wish to enter your city." I said steadily.
He laughed. "So do a lot of theives, looters, and murderers. What makes you any different?"
"I was called here by a mystic who goes by the name of Zora. Have you heard of her?"
Silence.
"Hello?" I asked loudly. I looked down to find him standing on the other side of the gates, fitting a key into a particularly large lock.
"So Zora knows you?" he asked quietly. I nodded. "You seem a bit young to witness the magic she practices."
I shrugged. "I have seen more magic than you think."
He shook his head and opened the gate enough to let me in. As I passed him, he put a hand on my shoulder. "She likes to sacrifice fair maidens like you. I'm warning you now."
I dropped a coin in his hand and closed his fingers around it. "Thank you, but I will be fine." And then I entered the town, every instinct I had telling me to get out as fast as possible, but i ignored them and approached the small, wooden shack covered in vines.
