I opened the door. "Hey, Lucky. Where have you been this morning?" Pearl asked with a slight smile. Then I noticed she had seen the letter in my hand. "Something wrong," She tried to ask without sounding worried but she failed at it. "It's from Elazul he said," I started and then forgot so I looked at the open letter and then finished my sentence. "He said he missed you and can't wait to see you." She seemed to almost jump out of her skin when she heard. She had the biggest smile I ever saw on her face. Again I found myself envying Elazul because he was lucky to have a girl like Pearl as a partner. I hate lucky people. They can fall in… love… with someone that… loves them. The only thing I hate more than lucky people is the word… love… it is just a sad reminder of my life. "Is Elazul alright," Pearl asked. "Huh, yea. He's fine I was just thinking of something." I quickly said. Pearl with a compassionate tone asked, "About what?" "Nothing much, just about things that have long been dead to a traveler who had to make sacrifice things he wants in order to complete the important goal of saving the only thing he cares about and yet sacrifice it too," I rambled on. "What," Pearl asked confusingly. "Exactly," I said to make to cover up my mistake of saying that out loud. "Sorry but, I have to go, Pearl. I won't be back till late probably," I stated as I walked to the door and opened it. "Lucky." "Yea." "Promise me, you will be careful." Pearl said in her worryingly compassionate way she talked when I always befuddled her. "I don't make promises but, I am ninety nine percent sure I will be back in one piece," I said to her like I always did. Promise a word that curses the user of it or, at least it always seemed that way. Then I left and looked back once to wave bye to Pearl who was standing in the doorway.
