Currently Ceylan is walking down the long and seemingly endless road to the town Orangor talked about. However he has been walking for so long he actually thought maybe Orangor lied to him. Finally he decided he walked around enough so he stopped to take a rest. He got a good look around and it really seemed like he was in the middle of nowhere. There were endless trees, the road, and no people. That was until he heard what sounded like crying.
"What is that?" He asked as he got up to look around.
He followed the sound and he came across a crying child. The kid was alone and seemed to have hurt his leg. He couldn't just leave him alone so he ran up to see if he was ok.
Once he made it to him he kneeled down and said in a soft and gentle voice, "Hey kid, are you ok?"
The child looked up and shook his head no. "I hurt myself." He said sobbing. He pointed to his knee and Ceylan could see he was injured.
Ceylan wanted to help but he had nothing on him but his bow and arrow and he know nothing of plants or anything that could possible help. "Hey where do you life? I will take you there."
The kid looked at him and pointed down the road which actually was going up a bit over a hill.
Ceylan looked and smiled at the kid. "Alright kid…" he turned around and allowed the boy to get on his back. "Get on and I will take you there."
The child did has he was told and got on. He wrapped his arms around Ceylan to hold on and Ceylan held on so he wouldn't fall. Ceylan then walked up the hill to get the boy home. The hill was not that steep but it was high so it took awhile to get to the top. When he finally made it to the top he was able to see the town straight ahead.
"At least Orangor didn't lie." He mumbled under his breath.
"What?" Said the kid who did not hear him.
"Oh…nothing. Just talking to myself." Ceylan explained.
Then Ceylan started walking down the hill completely ready to stop this endless walking. However when he made it to the bottom a few people started running towards him. Once they made it to him they seemed to be very relieved and the reason was because they have been searching for the kid for awhile.
"Oh…thank goodness you are alright." One of the people said.
"Oh no! You're hurt!" I women said. She was the one who took the child and carried him into the town.
"Were you the one who helped him?" Another person asked Ceylan.
"Yeah. While I was walking I saw him and he was hurt. He said he was close by so I decided to help him out." Ceylan explained.
"Well thank you so much. To show my thanks how about I buy you a meal?" The man offered.
Ceylan stomach growled reminding him he was hungry. "If it is not too much trouble."
"Absolutely not. I own a restaurant, so it is not trouble at all." The man said while smiling.
"Then thank you." Ceylan said politely.
The man then led him into the town, which looked a lot bigger on the inside, and took him to his restaurant. It was a small place but it looked comfortable. Ceylan could defiantly see the appeal of the place. When he walked in the scenery was very homey. Ceylan sat down at a table and the man brought him a menu.
"Please order anything you want. It's on the house." The man said smiling.
"OK. Thank you." Ceylan said looking at the menu.
There were so many good choices but Ceylan was not one to take advantage of people so he chose things he knows he would eat as well as be able to finish. He took his order and when the man brought it out Ceylan was very impressed by how it tasted.
"Wow this is very good." He said brightly.
"Why that you." The man said a little embarrassed by the compliment.
When Ceylan was done he noticed it was getting dark and he had no place to stay. When the man came to take his plates Ceylan ended up asking him about it.
"Hey is there any place I would be able to stay for free?" Ceylan said.
"You don't have any money?" The man asked.
"No!" Ceylan laughed. "I guess you could say it was not my choice to come here to begin with, so I couldn't bring any money."
The man thought for a moment and said, "Well if it just for the night…"
"It will be. I am hoping to find what I need tomorrow then leave." Ceylan said interrupting the man.
"In that case you could stay with my family." The man said.
"Oh no. I couldn't. You did enough for me." Ceylan said in protest.
"It is fine. Beside the child you helped was actually my son and I am sure he would like to thank you too." The man said smiling.
Ceylan couldn't really refuse after all he really had no place to go. He also would like to see how the kid was doing.
"Sorry for the trouble and thank you." Ceylan said felling a little bad that he was intruding.
"No trouble at all." That was when the man closes his restaurant and led the way to his house.
It didn't take long to get to his house because it was just a few builds down. The house was actually smaller that then restaurant but it seemed homey. They walked through the front door and it was very clean and net. He looked around, took his shoes off, and followed the man inside the house.
They walked into a room and there was the child playing with one of his toys. He saw Ceylan and instantly brightened up. "It's you." He got up and run to him. "Thank you for helping me."
Ceylan couldn't resist smiling at the kid's smiling face. "No problem. Just make sure you're careful from now on. Ok?"
"OK." The kid said brightly.
"Now that that is taken care of allow me to show you to your room." The man said leading Ceylan down the hall.
He opened a door revealing a small room that only had a single window, a bed, and a shelf with a few books on it. Ceylan got on the bed and was surprised it was so soft. It actually felt like a hotel bed.
"Thank you very much." Ceylan said satisfied with the room.
"If you need any help feel free to ask for help." The man said.
"OK. Good night." Ceylan said.
"Have a nice night." The man said closing the door.
Once he was gone Ceylan began to take off his armor. Luckily underneath all the armor was a full black outfit consisting of a shirt and pants. He set the armor to the side with his bow and arrows and crawled into bed. He was able to sleep soundly his first night in the world but still he just had to wonder. Where is this navigator he is supposed to find?
