Dragon's curse

chapter thirty two

It has been three years since we left the path that led to the natives that lived in a small forest. I think Jeff isn't telling me something but I don't know what it is though. I am glad he decided to travel with me and everything but I hope he can trust me a little more. I know he needs time and everything to trust me but I wish I could just tell him to talk to me, tell me what he is thinking about or at the least tell me what he went through.

They slowly walked on the brick path of the road to a small town called Rayth Valley, Ash looked at Jeff with a smile as she noticed that he was enjoying himself and she quickly looked back at the road. Once they reached Rayth Valley, they were surprised to see the roads were packed with people and creatchers.

Ash said "We should probably split up to get the supplies we need for our next hunt."

Jeff asked "I agree with you, who should go where?"

"I will go to the potions and herbs shop in the medical part of town. You can go to the magic part of town, here is a list of all the magic materials and items we need." Ash replied as she held out a small piece of paper out for Jeff.

Jeff nodded in understanding as he grabbed the piece of paper and they quickly split up in different directions. Jeff quickly went to eight different small shops for three healing scrolls that could be used twice in a row, two healing knives, four magic regeneration scrolls, fifteen silver knives, fifty silver tipped arrows and two body regeneration knives. Ash quickly went through each shop that she saw to get as many healing potions as she could get along with healing and enderenc potions, she looked for ingredients to make her own patients. Once she was finished gathering any everything that she needed, Ash quickly went to look for Jeff in the weapons section of the town. After a few hours, she found Jeff standing at the corner of a small building, he waited patiently until he spotted Ash walking up to him.

Ash asked "Did you find everything alright?"

Jeff smiled as he replied, "Yea, it was quite easy and they were on sail."

Ash couldn't help but laugh for a moment before she said "That's great, that means we can look around for something we want that isn't that important."

They slowly looked around the town while stopping at any store that caught their interest as they passed by some streets that looked like they had been abandoned for years.

Ash said "How would you feel if I got you something? I mean... I mean I don't know when your birthday is and everything but I would like to get you something."

Jeff sighed as he replied "I wasn't going to say anything but my birthday is actually today."

"Come with me, I want to get you something and I don't know if you will like it or not but we will have to see." Ash said as she grabbed Jeff's hand and pulled him as she walked to a small shop.

They quickly walked over to a small shop called Enchanted weapons & crafting. They looked around to see that they had swords with different types of metals, small daggers, axes and what looked to be different types of guns. Ash looked at Jeff intently for the longest moment and waited to see if there was a hint of imoshen in his eyes.

After a few more minutes of looking around Jeff said calmly "You don't have to get me anything Ash."

Ash quickly said "Please, let me get you something even if it is just this once."

Jeff sighed as he said as they walked up to a case filled with different blades, "Alright, alright."

"Choose whatever you want and don't worry about the price." Ash said with a smile.

Jeff asked in a concerned voice, "Are you sure?"

Ash nodded her head yes as she hugged him in a warm embrace and Jeff hugged her back, after a few minutes she released each other with a hint of blush of embarrassment on their faces. Jeff then looked at the daggers and short swords that sat in a case that sat in front of them, suddenly a glowing red dagger caught Jeff's atencion.
