Raven and Yaria, sitting in old trading cart it was quite uncomfortable, it had only already been a few hours since they left the village and there wasn’t any sign of life, there was only the trail and all around there was only fields of filled with greenery as far as the eye could see, at first at seeing this sight they were amazed but after a few hours it no longer were caught their attention.

“How long will it take for us to reach a town” Raven was impatient and coupled with the how uncomfortable and bumpy the ride was,he didn’t know how much of this he could take.

“It will take at least 3 days till will reach the town of Erude”the elderly merchant replied his wrinkled face and long beard made it almost impossible to tell his impression.

When he heard that, Raven sighed he knew there was nothing that could be done so he sat back and tried to relaxed, when he took a glance at Yaira, she was sleeping soundly her beautiful brown hair slightly touching her soft cheeks, looking at yaira sleeping raven stretched his arm and poked Yaira’s cheek , seeing there was no reaction raven gave up on trying to tease her.

Jesus, how can she sleep so much?

Raven was bored, he wasn’t used to staying put, without anything to do in particular, he decided to inspect the amulet that he had received from stan, the amulet was a dark blueish kinda colour and it had some strange carvings in it that Raven couldn’t understand, Raven had learned how to read and write in this world’s language, but he couldn’t decipher what was carved in the amulet.

Why was I left with this?

Deeply in thought, Raven didn’t notice the cart had suddenly stopped, breaking free from his trance raven quickly noticed the cart had come to a halt, they were still no sign of any town or any sort of civilization in that matter

“Why did we stop” Raven asked the old merchant who was stroking the head one of his two horses.

“The horses are tired and hungry, we will stop for about an hour for them to rest” the old wrinkled man replied without even looking at raven.

“Alright”Raven was relieved, he finally could go rest his mind for a bit, Raven decided to walk around the fields for a change of pace.

“Oi Yaira wake up I am going to explore,do you wanna go”Raven fiercely shook Yaira then she finally opened her eyes.

“Hi, Raven where are we, have we arrived?”Yaira said while still rubbing her eyes then she slowly sat up and stretched.

“No we just stopped to rest, we still have a long way go it seems”Raven stated as he looked around.

“Are you coming with me,or not?”raven looking at yaira said , she was still half asleep her hair was a mess all over her face, she seemed confused.

“Go where?”

Raven a bit frustrated at her words a vein popped on his forehead

“I am going to look around, are you coming with me or not?”

“Yes, I will,”Yaira said while standing up groggily,and picking up her small fur bag .

Raven had already walked far up ahead then he looked back, and waited for Yaira to catch up to him.

As they walked off in the vast green area, watching the scenery, there weren’t many animals around, there were only smalls ones that once they noticed Raven and Yaira they immediately hurried off in fear.

“Yaira how about we spar a little?”Raven asked as he glanced towards Yaira, they had gone quite far from the cart, but they could still see the old man feeding his horses of into the distance.

“Okay”

Yaira sighed, she knew that Raven just wanted to leave some steam, and that the exploration was just a cover up.

Yaira was still a bit sluggish and wasn’t all that keen but looking at Raven determined, he had quickly gotten into fighting stance, reluctantly Yaira also got into fighting stance.

Immediately, Raven rushed towards aiming a kick at her right leg, Yaira jumped back but raven persisted following her, Yaira gave up on dodging and would instead try to counter by attacking his supporting leg, Raven realizing her intention backed away.

“You have gotten better Yaira”

“Well, I had to” Yaira replied, she was bit short breathed, she could see how excited raven was he had huge grin with eyes full of eagerness.

This time Yaira was the one going into the attack, Raven not stepping back also went forward, Yaira threw a punch with great speed towards raven , raven dodged the punch just barely and prepared to kick her in the stomach, Yaira to avoid being hit dropped down and rolled while using her arms to propel herself she jumped and with all her strength kicked Raven, Raven had blocked her kick by using arms, but before she could fall back Raven took her leg pushed her towards himself and headbutted her,Yaira immediately fell to ground holding her head in excruciating pain, Raven was still standing,rubbing his forehead, he also seemed to be in pain.

he walked towards the Yaria who was rolling in the floor desperately holding her head.

“Oi are you okay”Raven offering her a hand Yaria looked up and took it and stood up, she had a slight tear on her eye.

“Raven, your head is too hard” Yaira uttered while patting off the dust of her clothes

“Idiot, your head is the one that hard”

“Come on let’s go, before the merchant leaves without us”Raven faintly said before running towards the cart direction,looked at him for a moment and smiled, before running after him.

“Hey wait for me” Yaira shouted

When they finally reached the old cart, the wrinkled old man was sitting down on ground next to the horses, he glanced at them and then turned his gaze to the horses once again and stroking his long beard faintly said.

“We will be departing soon”.

“Raven will still have a bit of time, should we eat lunch?”Yaira bringing out of her bag 2 packed sandwiches

“Yeah , I guess” Raven said as he took a sandwich

As they slowly ate the sandwiches, Maria had prepared beforehand, they both wondered when they would see them again.
