 That night was a difficult night. Every time i tried to sleep i would see images of Fredrick in my head. In the end when i could not sleep i decided to go borrow some of the tows books and do some reading. Now its not the grand library but it does have some books to keep me interested for a while.

This was a interesting one. "The History Of Levithon" I figured getting to know a bit about the place i had winded up would be good to know. So i started to read. "Many generations ago there were many lands in this area. The lands within he confines of what would soon become the great kingdom of Levithon was in chaos. Infighting with each other. Four warriors together rallied a great army and swept across the chaos-stricken lands and in the end they successfully brought order. After having brought order to the lands the gods offered each of them a gift that would be passed down to all their descendants. The first one, Vawdrey, asked for the power to manipulate and move solid objects. The second one, Hubert, asked for the power to move at inhuman speeds, so fast that he could become invisible. The third one, Demema, asked for the power to summon and control fire. and the last one, Bartel, asked for wisdom and short foresight so he could always prevent disasters before they happened. After receiving the gifts from the gods the four warriors than agreed they would each rule over a quarter of the kingdom they had conquered. They than went their separate ways and their descendants, generation after generation took over their sector of the kingdom of Levithon."

This was good information on the kingdom. It made me wonder why Tybalt did not tell me this, but than again, the book was sitting in the back of the shelfs and he probably had never seen it before. I guess it was probably because i was so absorbed in my book that when Tybalt walked up behind me and asked when i would be ready to leave that i jumped 5 feet and almost stabbed him with my sword "Gods Tybalt dont do that!" i exclaimed. "Im sorry i did not mean to startle you Izzy" he said. "its fine, how can i help Tybalt?" i asked him. "We are ready to leave when you are ready" he told me. "Okay thanks Tybalt, il get what i have together ready to leave"

After i had said my goodbyes to the town we set on our way to the city of Hythe, capital of the Vawdrey's sector of Levithon. It was a long six-hour ride in the wagon in which i looked at the nature passing by. Lakes and Vallys, Mountains and Rivers, you could see the rich land that looked like it was blessed by the gods themselves.

Eventually after a long and tiresome ride we were here. We had finally arrived at Hythe. To say i was shocked would be a understatement. This place was huge. Roads and buildings as far as the eye could see. People bustling through the marketplaces. In just this street alone there were more people than all of Ampleforth together. All along the city i could see blue banners with a picture of a sword in the back round. I recognized the symbol as the Symbol of Vawdrey.

The city was a sight to behold. I asked Tybalt what our plan was and he told me "Well for starters I think i should take you to meet the Man from the Vawdrey family. Than while you talk to him il go to the marketplace and sell the towns goods. I will drop by to make a plan at sundown." I nodded, this was a good plan.

It took us a while to find the town of the man's house. Eventually we found it. It was a nicer than average house, however it was still not a castle or anything like that. It was a modest house with no distinguishing features other than a name plaque and that fact that it was slightly bigger than normal. We knocked on the door and somebody answered. I was not sure what to say but Tybalt spoke for me "Is this Rowan of the Vawdrey family?" he asked.

And thats the end of that chapter, hate to leave you on a cliff hanger but alas i have to go now. (I totally did that on purpose)
