While The Autumn courts chill and the irresistible color was never matched to the winds of Winter Court I had quite enjoyed the Court and I grew to enjoy waking every morning before the sun's light. After four weeks of traversing through forest handing out food to others, we all decided we'd had enough. We voiced this the night before Irisal she then set our course for the Summer Court's capital.
Traveling by horse took hours longer than a car which was the ultimate downside of Prythian.
Other than transporting I loved it here, because these people and their stories they told. Their motive was to help others because they had been in that same position years ago each person had a story of how they found there way to travel with old Irisal she was at least seven hundred years old us others all ten years to five hundred.
We all loved her but I especially considered her as another aunt after the struggles we've been through. Our camp could also travel anywhere in Prythian without being stuck in one court.
It got warmer every day now as we stepped closer to the Summer Courts borders, and as soon as we crossed it the night air was hot and humid sweat traveled on my neck. I read a book in the corner of a cart it jumped and jostled me and the other crates around my candle flickered wildly. I ended up falling asleep head wedged in between two crates.
I next morning before sunrise I awoke to Riley shaking me "Erasia . . . Come on, Erasia wakey wakey" I shifted back "The suns not even out Ri, go to sleep" Groaned trying not to yell at the curious nymph "Come on! I see the ocean!"
"Wha?" my head shot up with a bump. "You're kidding?"
"No kidding around Eras look" Riley climbed to the bench where her father sat. I rubbed my eyes Riely taunted "Come on what are you an old lady? You're going to miss the first sunrise in the Summer Court."
I wanted to tell her that I just wanted to sleep but I decided against it,
I stumbled quickly to the front of the cart I sat on the rough wooden bench. The first rays filtered into the sky pinks and oranges bled into one another I gasp "Just wait until you see the Dawn court if you like this " Riley whispers gleefully I put I finger her lips "Shhh let me enjoy this Ri" she fixed her hair down. I had never seen the ocean before stared in awe and the blue mass before deciding I liked it.
"Fine" her head shot up she stuck her nose up, annoyed her Father tiredly interrupted. "We're not going to be here long, a day at best, you should enjoy it as it is our ships have to be granted access into the night court."
I nod "When will get there?" I'd never really told much about the night court but I hear
"A few days now, go get dressed and freshen up you can't go out looking like you just left the bed, you girls." He kept his eyes on the trail. Riley stayed with her Father a while longer so I could dress.
Walking a few steps, then jumping over some boxes to where my box was that carried my belongings a few books, shirts, long colorful skirts my cloak and some little knick-knacks.
I've collected like some beaded necklaces and earrings. I took out an outfit and put it on after I came outside the sun was high and how I got an apple from the back chewed quietly.
