Lessa 1 Posted September 22, 2014 Author #41 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 The scene was a familiar one. A boy stands in the dark night, watching a girl disappear into the light after an evening spent together. Now all they needed was a front porch, and her father standing just inside the door, ready to scold her for staying out so late. The thought made her laugh softly. "Take care of yourself," she told him, still smiling. "I will see you very soon." Wrapping her arms around herself to fight off the chill, Lessa gave Alkor one final look. Then, she turned around and walked the rest of the way to the city. Her frame was bathed in light as she stepped over the safe zone boundary. She would find a place to sleep, and when she was refreshed, she would find herself better equipment. She would need all of the help she could get if she planned to hold her own with Alkor and his friend. It was Alkor that she thought of as she slipped into the nearest inn. She was thankful that she had sent him that message, and that she would see him again soon. This goodbye did not seem so final. Link to post Share on other sites
