She stopped. Where was she going? What was she to do?
Looking around, she saw moon and starlight coming down through the trees. Up ahead, there were lights. Aunorey Arrowin sighed with relief. "Thank the Heavens." She said to herself, and kept on.
She knew she must look a fright. With a once was beautiful dress now ripped and torn, and a dirtied face and litteraly fallen-to-pieces slippers, she was afraid. She would stop in the town, buy some clothes, and be on her way.
Where she was going, she had no idea.
Aunorey finally came to the end of the trees. She vowed never to turn back and go through any of those God-awful trees again, and went to the closest shop. With only 100 venty's (A/N I'm making all these words up.. heheh 100 Venty's is like 300$), she had no idea how much she could get. If only a good bed and food, that would have to do.
She came upon a shop, which was still open and went in. Hoping no one would guess who she was, she began to pick out clothes. She picked two long, dark green silk skirts, one with a thick gold band sewn on around the bottom and another with a lavander coloured sash. She picked out wooden, padded clogs, and two button up crème white shirt with tiny purple and blue flowers with tiny green leaves stitched up and down on either side of the buttons. She bought some leather straps for her hair, and a bar of soap.
Aunorey looked around for a moment. Aunorey has never been to this town before. It was rustic, very old, but with well-kept, lovely things and places. Her thoughts were interrupted when a short woman came up to her, "Can I help you, miss?"
Nodding, Aunorey was lead to the front, where she gave the woman 33 yen, a little less than half of what she had.
"Thank you very much." She told the woman gently, and left.
Aunorey stepped out of the shop and went down the steps to the road. She looked around, and right down the street spotted an inn. She walked, limping, down to the inn. It was a decent place, and she could see a small bar took up the back room. She entered Lampy's, as it was called, and suddenly felt even more tired, dirty, and beyond weary. There were two horses outside, one belinging to an Elf, she knew, because of the way it's tail was clipped. She came into the front parlor, and was greeted by a man with a good sized belly and broad shoulders who looked to be about fifty. He was drying a cup with a cloth as he spoke to her above the crowd's noise. She could see more people beyond the door, sitting and talking and drinking ale.
"Good evening, young mistress." The inn keeper said kindly, with a smile that reached his eyes. He had a short beard and wavy brown hair and gentle blue eyes. Aunorey saw a woman behind the bar, also drying dishes, who appeared to be his wife. Humans, she thought¸ I wonder what it's like to be married for only half such a short lifetime and yet they seem so happy. "What can I do for ye tonight?"
Aunorey instantly felt relief. Although she knew she must look a fright, he was still kind and gave her no look of disdain. "Hello... I.. I'd like to buy a room." Her soft, accented voice sounded out of place.
The man's brow rose slightly, almost unnoticeably. "Are you alone, miss?" She nodded, and watched as he opened his mouth to speak, thought better of it, and instead replied, "How much have you?" Aunorey showed him the rest of her coins. "Ah, it'll only cost 5 venty's."
Aunorey knew he felt sorry for her and lied about the price, but she accepted it and thanked him graciously. She wandered up the stairs, unlocked the door, and fell onto the bed, and slept the night and next day through...
