Well, cards on the table I was going to stop updating because no one was reading my stories until…
DragonMast1992: I love u. well, not really, but whatever. Thank you soo soo much. You really think I'm a good writer? That means the world.
Um… where did I leave it? Oh, yeah…
P.S. I was reading the other chapters and in chapter 2 I just want to say that the definition for aligesia is completely made up.
We had barely been on the ship when we saw the mountains. They were pitifully small compared to what we had in Alalea, but it was something comforting to all of us. Tree branches swayed in the soft breeze of the warm season. The waves were bobbing lightly against the ship. I felt tremendous happiness, just out of nowhere. I smiled as a light spray of the ocean hit my face, watching this new land with intensely curious eyes. With a deep breath, I joined the others that were lowering the small boat to go to land.
We walked carefully throught the woods, ready for anything this new land had. We were trying to find a camp. After hours of seeing nothing but forest, we settled on a small clearing, sending out others to tell every one on the ship. No one that had come had any cooking skills so with a sigh, I volunteered myself. I sent many people out for gathering, only I made one mistake. I made it so I was alone with Ragnar.
He started setting up tents as I started to prepare, waiting anxiously for the others to come back.
Around sunset the gatherers and the elves that had been left on the ship came out to the camp. We had decided to leave tomorrow, all off us and try and find a big river, not just small creeks.
The sun sets much slower here, I thought, as I crept out of my tent, unable to sleep. Some thing was going to happen—I felt it in the pit of my stomach. I didn't know that somewhere in range the ocean they were following us, our scent that had drifted from the ship. No one would know where they came from; it was a secret they kept until not even their grandchildren knew.
Sorry its short, I just wanted it out there and I'm trying to speed it up a little!
Review appreciated!
