The Ballad of Livena SongStar

Chapter 1 - Livena

Livena walked down the path of the forest as the leaves falls down from the trees. She shivered a little as a cold wind blew on her and She wrapped her red scarf tighter around her neck.

Livena looks at the map in her hand that had beautiful designs of vines and flowers. Looking at the map and the path She was walking on She were approaching a village.

A village that is located in the Gravandia Kingdom located in the west. She had heard many things about the great Garvandian kingdom.

Some good and bad but most important information was the great spirt hot springs located in the mountains.

That is where She wish to go but do not know which mountain the springs is located. She puts the map in her satchel and a just the hood of her cloak.

As She exits the forest and heads towards the quiet little village in the middle of the field. She entered the village as children played and laughed while the adults were busy working.

And getting things ready for the fall festival that will take place in a few days. Livena walked down the street minding her own business as She made her way to the local inn.

Upon entering the busy inn She went to the bar and ordered a beer. And paid the barkeep as He were busy preparing her drink.

One of the men that were sitting with his friends got up and went over to her. He looks at her with a smile as She started drinking.

"What does a pretty little thing like You doing in a place like this?" Livena didn't look at him as She said with a calm tone in her voice.

"I am just stopping to take a little rest, I wont be here long..." The man looks at her beautiful red hair and blue eyes as He said.

"So You are not staying for the festival then? May I ask where You are headed?" Livena just ignored him as She took another drink of the delicious beer.

The man feeling a bit annoyed that He is ignoring her and says to her. "Why don't You stay here in the village for a while? Enjoy the festivities and perhaps get to know each other a little better, if You know what I mean..."

Livena did not like this man trying to flirt with her and says with a calm tone in her voice. "I have to decline Your offer, sir. I rather get going as soon as I finish my drink."

The man looks at her and says as He gently places a hand on her arm. "Come now, a little fun wouldn't hurt besides I want to know the beautiful little lady that caught my eye..."

Livena pulled her arm away from him and said. "I told You that I am not interested, now please do not touch me."

The man did not listen and was about to touch her again. When one of the men from one of the tables came and slammed his head against the table.

He looks at the man who is pinned down and said. "Didn't You hear the lady? She told You that She isnt interested and told You to stop.

Do that again and I break both Your arms, got it!?!" Livena kept drinking her beer as the man nod his head and says.

"Alright, alright! I stop! Now let go of me!" The black haired man let go of him and says with a serious look on his face.

"Now get out of here and if You harass anyone else I send the guard on Your ass!" The black haired man turned to look at Livena and was about to say something.

But stopped when He noticed that She was gone and the mug empty of beer. He caught a glimpse of her black cloak as She were leaving the inn.

She kept on walking until She left the village with a thoughtful look on her face. Livena walked for a while until She made camp under a large ancient statue of the hero King Asfan.
