I've been so busy lately with other stories, that I forgot about this one. This was the last chapter I wrote, but if I get happy reviews, I will go on with Lana's story. Sorry for the wait...-Eowyn
Lana braced herself for the world once more, holding on to what little she had and strode off into the shadows of the world. She still could not understand Maggie, but no one can understand something that they have not held within themselves before. She wondered from the village she could have called home, and unto another. This village was more kind to her.
"Don't be afraid to stay here," said a woman who owned the inn with her husband. Lana smiled but moved on into the village, looking inside some little shops on the way.
One shop caught her eye, weapons and armors laid within in the window. Lana curiously walked in, wondering what she would find inside. An old-shaggy looking man stood at the counter with a somewhat smile.
"What can I do for ye?" he asked as Lana approached him.
"I would like to-"she stopped herself when she noticed the man's somewhat smile turn into a friendly one.
"Ah, you be a woman? What does a lady like you want from a store like this?" he asked leaning closer to her, he seemed to be blind in both eyes.
"I would like some travel clothes, a sword, water, food, and no more questions asked," Lana said firmly, the man was giving her the creeps.
"Right, right. Going off to war? It's dangerous out there," he said as he walked, or stumbled to the back room, "I remember when I was young…."
Lana sighed deeply, he was telling her his 'life' story, she really was never in the mood for stories that had no meaning. The minutes flew by and Lana was about to give up and leave, when the store-keeper came out, his arms were full of all the supplies she had asked for.
"How much will it all cost?" said Lana picking up her pouch that laid by her side.
"Not a thing-but, this is top of the line stuff, so tell people where you got it from!" he smiled as he handed her the supplies.
"I will," replied Lana then she added, "Is there-"
"Go through that door, and you can change," he replied pointing to the north wall. Lana said thank you and hurried. She didn't want to stay here. Lana looked at her new clothes, they were fit for boys. She took a closer look and reliesed that the man had given her mythril. All of it in its glory. She quickly put it on, and in no time, she was ready. She left the shop without a fuss.
Lana didn't know where to go now, with Maggie behind her, she had no clue. It wasn't the first time this had happened.
"It bothers me not, for I need nothing and no one," said Lana to her self as she reared her self out of the village, and into the grassy fields. Lana glanced around, nothing to be since in front of her, nor to her sides. The view showed mountains and valleys that appeared to be endless to her eyes.
A soft breeze went by her towards the east. It seemed to tell her to go that way, but something deep down told her not too. She looked more closely to where she was towards the east. A dense forest lay before her, she remembered seeing it in a book, but where, she did not know.
"It looks like the Elf place…and something else..," said Lana moving towards inside, "This might be interesting."
