Today was the start of a new life. I had everything packed up to leave. I had all my tools and equipment I would use to build a brand new forge in my new home. I had one last meal with my grandpa before I left for Forget-Me-Not Valley.
Our meal together was silent. Neither one of us talked to each other we just looked at our bowls of rice. When the silence got too much for me I got up to leave.
"Gray wait!" Grandpa exclaimed trying to get me to stay. I had enough of him ordering me around. I was twenty-six I was old enough to move out on my own and find my own path. I turned around letting him say one last thing before I went out to my horse drawn carriage.
"I just wanted you to take care of yourself out there. Another thing I should tell you about are the women. They are a totally different animal all together. When you find a girl who'll treat you the way you want to be treated you better treat her the same way." He gave me a hard stare. I blushed hard. There were plenty of women in mineral town I was just not interested in any of them.
"Thanks grandpa but I think I can figure that out myself." I said leaving to ready my horse. I couldn't take it anymore I had to leave. As My horse was about to leave my grandpa came out of our house.
"Don't forget to write is the last thing I can say good luck." I smiled back and made the horse go.
This is the prologue I'll get to the actual story in the next chapters I just wanted to show you what Gray would look like if he left and struck out on his own. I hope you like it :)
