Steamlord:
I am now 19, still traveling with Archangel. I decided to return to that town I had visited 5 years ago. I still remember that little girl. I walk along the familiar, yet unfamiliar path. They had remade it out of solid diamond. I wonder how they managed that. That is, until I get into the gates. They welcome me with royal welcome, of which I respond with a courteous thanks. Then I see it. Up in the air were hard plastic tubes. They were making diamond out of the carbon in the air. But the only way to afford something like that was... Oh. I see the very same girl I saw 5 years ago, laden with red silk clothes, jewels in her hair. The soft ticking in my chest grows faster, and the faint smell of smoke arises. I close, my eyes, calming down. Looks like my visit so long ago made her a queen in the village. I approach her and kneel. "My queen. It has been a while."
"Wait is that the little girl?!" Archangel pipes up.
"Shh!" I hiss under my breath.
The queen giggles. "Rise my fair knight." She jokes. "And no, they think I have been 'chosen'." She rolls her eyes. "And I can offer you a three day stay at my house." I nod graciously.
"Thank you Mi'lady." I only ever stayed in one place for long, usually three days. But sometimes I liked a place and stayed five. Never more. She leads me to a small house, off to the side. She explains she gave away the large house that was given to her. She tells me that it is time for everyone to sleep, as every night, the village was attacked if everyone wasn't inside. She promised to tell me what happened after my first visit in the morning. "Good night my SteamKnight."
