Chapter 1

It was a warm and bright day as I walked through the crowded market place of Bledevik. People from all around gathered here for the summer festival, which was held every year. I browsed through the market stalls, not really paying attention to anything. People pushed and shoved, children ran around and venders begged passers-by to buy their carpets, food or clothes they were selling.

It was an excuse to get out of the house for a couple of days. Or in my case, forever. I come from Dazil, the first town you see when you come out of the forest. It's a small town and everybody knows each other. There's not really a large selection of goods to buy in Dazil. Nothing ever goes around in the city and I wonder why I even live there, when I don't even like it that much.

I pushed back a loose strand of red hair and continued through the market place. Bledevik was my kind of town. Busy, fun, interesting people and a lot more things to buy. It even had a palace at the top of a hill in the middle of the prosperous city. I wouldn't mind to live in a city like this; always having fun, never bored. I looked up at the large palace and wondered what it would be like to live in a fancy place like that, than a shabby, small house which had a gear excavation site for a backyard.

I turned and continued on my way, until I heard a scream and saw two, young men running straight towards me.
