"Nature is what I live for"

5|THE RIGHT FEELINGS

The girl does not know why there is this sudden fear of this man that she has known since she was a child, but Asherah finds that within her body there is this uncontrollable fear that she simply cannot explain. She looks at him and the more hatred that are within his eyes, the stronger the fear grows within her. She is quick to walk the other way in hopes to not meet him. Something within her speaks to her, telling her to avoid him as much as she can. As if there were another force that were guiding her within her mind.

Not does Asherah fear the voice within her mind nor that force if it is there for that matter, rather she fears William. She goes behind houses that she would normally not go behind when walking to the market, yet does not wish for him to find her. It will take the bark browned eyed girl a bit longer to reach the market but she will make it there in the end so it will not matter to her if she is a couple of minutes longer or not. If it means that she does not collide with William.

The day does look beautiful as the warming rays of the sun have begun to heat up the cold world that took place during the night. Asherah has always admired how the world balances itself out no matter what happens and she does wonder how the world could have such a system where all works out in the end. It sometimes fascinates her yet at the same time she knows that a girl of her standing should not dwell on such questions nor should she think anything related to that. Finally, she does make it to the market.

Even this early in the morning, the market is scattered with many people. Though not that many and most of them she does know. As they do all live in the same village together. The girl, walks with a kind smile on her face as she walks through the market. Seeing all the things that people are selling. Every so often there are things that do interest her yet she cannot do much about it. Her family does not have much gold and they cannot go and buy what they wish, even if they truly do want it. Their gold is used for other things which directs towards survival.

Many greet her as she walks by and she does the same to them. Happiness is glowing through her body as if she can seize the day and she doe hope that she can. "I see that people do take kindly to your presence" An unfamiliar voice speaks. Turning her head to the side, she eyes a man that is standing there. Leaning against the wall. Raising an eyebrow at, Asherah gives the man a confused look. "Forgive me, where you speaking to me?" She asks in a kind voice to him.

The man chuckles. "Of course, who else has the people praying for because of her saint like kindness?" He asks her with amused look. Taking a step towards this man, Asherah realizes that she has never seen him before in her life. Then again travelers do sometimes pass by the town, they always leave in the end. Some of them stay behind and wed into some of the families that are in the town, but that is rather rare to take place as most would leave the village to wed some traveler and live somewhere else, a better life.
