CHAPTER 1

Jarsha decided that it would be safer to try to leave the city at night. For the rest of the day he would spend he would explore the city.

He gathered the little money he had and set out for a bakery. When he got there he bought some breakfast. He also got some food for his lunch and dinner.

He then headed of towards the practice field. He would stay there for a while and practice his archery.

When night finally fell, he crept through the city and to the palace gate. He had taken some of his clothes and made them look like one of the workers clothes. Workers are almost always aloud out of the city whenever they want to. He went up to the gates, asked to be let out. The said yes, and he was out of the city.

He then proceeded to leave the mesa that the city of Aberon stood on. He walked out over the flat land that surrounded the city until he came to another smaller mesa. He climbed to the top and sat to have his dinner. He ate it and when he was done he decided to head back. He wasn't having nearly as much fun as he had expected.

He was just about to go down when he changed his mind. He was so tired, and could it rally hurt for him to stay there for one night? He didn't think so. He looked around until he found a hollow to sleep in.

When Jarsha woke he at first didn't know where he was. Then he remembered. He got up set out. When he got to the bottom of the mesa he realized he had no idea what direction to go in. He picked a random direction and set of.

Hours later he was still walking. He had his head down and he was breathing heavily. He looked up and in the distance he thought he saw a man riding a horse. He looked again. It was definitely there.

"Hey!" He called, running towards the figure. When he reached the man and his horse the man looked at hi, and fell of the horse. Jarsha went over to him and saw that he was in pretty bad shape. He looked over at the horse. It was barely alive, but it would still carry the man. He looked around and saw a rocky outcropping not far away. He put the man on the horse and led it under the outcropping.

He didn't have any water, but he knew that the man might have a bit that he hadn't realized he still had. He rummaged through the man's bag hoping to find his water skin. He didn't find it, but what he did find surprised him.
