Chapter 3Rohene
A few weeks following the encounter with the pretty traveler, we went into the town of Leafgreen to buy supplies. Normally avoiding the bigger communities, Nora ignored my warnings. “Things are tough. The lands are dry and we’re all doomed, no doubt. War is close. We need medicines.”
We trudged through the darkening forests toward the town and found a small enclosed cluster of trees outside of the gates where the horses should be safe. When the others brushed their hair and made themselves look nice, I hung back. “I’ll stay with the horses and be lookout. Just in case.” I hated having fun and revelry and would far rather remain alone, where I could dream of the redhead.
Nora held out a hand. “Good. We’ll be gone until dark. Give me your money in case we need it.”
