Chapter 7 – Preparation

I got out all of my stuff, from wool, to leather, to dirt, to wood, to stone. The farmer looked at my stuff and nodded.

"Nice leather, and I like the wool," he commented.

"Can I have some food and other supplies for all my wool?" I asked, hoping for a deal.

"Hmmm… Yes, but I'll also need five leather to go with that," he bargained.

I agreed to his deal and took about 30 steak, five bread, and one cake. He also gave me an iron sword and a stone pick. I thanked him for the bartering and left to see the merchant for some hardware.

The merchant, rather to be called the blacksmith and head miner of the village, welcomed me into his shop.

"What would you like?" He asked me.

I showed him my remaining leather, my stone, my dirt, and my wood. I asked him for about 30 iron, and axe, a shovel, and an extra sword, plus a set of armor. I surprised him for asking of so much, and at first he said no. But, when I told him of what was going to happen to me, he quickly changed his mind to a yes. He gave me the stuff, and he even let me keep some stone and wood! I thanked him for his kindness and left the store.

The sun was setting in the sky, and I realized that tomorrow I would be leaving. Leaving towards my doom.
