Chapter 3
Starting the Big Adventure
"Umm, ok, don't you think that we should think this threw, I mean don't we need supplies
and things," Amber asked, trying to avoid the strange looks that people were starting to give them.
Marisa paused for a moment then look at Amber dejectedly, "Right, I almost forgot."
Amber tried to hide her laughter, she even clamed her hand over her mouth, but she failed
dismally. When she had clamed down enough to speak again she said, "I can see now why you looked
like you really wanted someone traveling with you. I guess I if I were in your shoes and I almost
am, I would want someone with me too. Come on let get some things and get out of here, for some
reason I really don't feel like hanging around here." When she had finish speaking she started to
pull Marisa into the village, it seemed a weird turn of events for Amber to suddenly take charge like
that; it was almost as if the two of them were able to work off each other.
Marisa and Amber made a unique pair as they made their way to the different little shops
gathering their supplies. They decided that they wouldn't get horses and that they would only take
what they could carry themselves, the very last thing the picked up was a map. For which they had
argued at the time about Amber had wanting to make the purchase, and they continued to argue over.
"Amber why do we need a map we can just fallow the roads?" Marisa asked as they started out
of the city.
"I don't know, I was just thinking that I hate asking direction, and maybe we shouldn't always
fallow the road."
"I don't know that I want to go into the woods though, I mean there are immortals and things out
there and we have no way of protecting our selves."
"Maybe your right, but all I know is that I want to get as far away from Verana as possible."
"And you think I don't, I'm the one running here," Marisa said as they made there way down the
road. "Maybe we can find someone to help teach us how to fight and things." She kicked a stone in her
path as they keep walking and throwing ideas back and forth.
Amber sighed, "I think that it would be hard I mean lets face it we probably have more years of
doing things the wrong way then most people and it would be really hard to unlearn that stuff."
Marisa cut Amber off, "Nothing can be to hard to learn."
"You didn't let me finish, I think that we need to find someone who can teach us and travel with
us. I know that we'll need more then just a day or two, we need a person who will set the way it has to be
and make it so that we have to learn."
"And where do we ever get a person like that to travel with us," Marisa exclaimed; throwing her
hands in the air and by doing that managing to knock her pack off her back. It fell to the ground with a
thump spilling its contents out, "Great Mother Goddess," she yelled out in anger, "What is with my luck today?"
"Calm down, take a deep breath and relaxes, let's just pick it up and keep going. I'm thinking that
we're just going to have to camp out side tonight, we'll just have to deal with everything as it comes," Amber
said with a sigh as she and Marisa bent down and started putting the stuff back into Marisa's pack.

TWO HOURS TILL SUN SET
"This is as good a place as any to make camp," Marisa said with a yawn. They had come about fourteen
miles, to a small clearing in the woods not far from the road, but far enough that anyone passing by on the
road wouldn't see them.
"Marisa, I was just thinking do you hunt?"
"No, do you?"
"Nope, maybe we should teach our selves so we don't run out of supplies."
"You mean just pick up these bows and teach our selves how to hunt," they both burst out laughing.
"I can't believe that we got these and neither of us know how to use them."
"I can sort of, but I think that till we pick up on the art form of it that we won't be gettin' much in
way of food."
Once they had both stopped laughing enough to think things threw they decided that they should start there
self-teaching now, and so the two started what would be one of the longest evenings of there lives. For this evening
they would start what would be the beginning of their training, (that and they were drop dead tired).
