A Story of Camtalbicia

Chapter II: It Begins, The Journey.

In a forest, under the trees, I see light from the sun, in little columns as they pass through the trees to the bottom of the forest floor. The birds chirping, singing their song on this glorious day, of 13th, of the year 2798. 48 days after my birthday. From what I can see, the sky is a navy blue. It's almost 6:30 p.m. And me and Brooke realize that we should get some shelter before the monsters come out for the time, and we continue down the path. A dirt path. With little light bugs. Brooke "Look Cameron! little light bugs!!" as she reaches out for one of them to hold. "oh my gosh, Brookelynn you're so silly," I say. We finally come across a village called "Ebrookland." "What a cute village," Brooke says while giggling, "yea it is pretty cute." as I say continuing to walk down the path into the village. We find an inn named "De Jaeger Inn" and on the door, it has a golden boar holding a horseshoe. We walk through the door, and we see people everywhere! Brooke "oh snap! So many people!!" as she goes into an awkward mode and hides behind me. "It's ok Brooke, there is no need to be scared... of these... big... hairy... old.... old.... stinky... creepy... old guys... with swords..." then I get scared and I try to hide behind Brookelynn, but she pushes me in front of her to stand in the sight of all the scary people. As it gets extremely quiet within the tavern of the inn. "What is a puny wizard doing in here?" A man says in a Scottish voice.

"I do believe that be two wizards Graeven" says a women.

"Be quiet Gretchen. I know what I am talking about." says Graeven.

"We are here for the inn... Could you to be so kind and to point us to who we talk to about renting rooms?" I ask shyly.

"Quite, the lady in charge is over behind the front desk through the hall and to the left." says Graeven with a growl in his voice. I begin to walk past him and he puts his hand on my shoulder. I gulp quietly, and I grab Brooke's hand and continue to walk past everyone. "It's going to be ok, we will find chloe. We just gotta make sure we don't have to use our magic on those creepers upfront." Says Brooke as I pull her down the hall and to the left as Graeven said. Sure enough, there stood a lady in a blue and gold dress that looked like it was made by the French people of Earth in the 1830's. She was old, Maybe around her late 50's. She had a portrait of the princess, Princess Victoria the III of Rainbowland Kingdom. She asks in almost an old grandma voice "how can I help ye young man and lady?" Brooke giggles and gives me a few coins. "Yes we would like to rent a room. And we would also like some directions for some food and water." I ask nicely and hand her the coins. "Yes dear, there be a room for rent. Room number 214. Use the magic door on the left, it's blue and has red and violet flowers on it with a symbol that looks like a magic ball. Once you go through the door, go down the hall. And you should see your room to your left."

"Thank you!" Brooke says as she tries to leave. "I almost forgot. You can find a nice market place down the street, it should still be open. But you'll have to be quick about it! they close soon!"

"Thank you Mrs!" As I begin to leave with Brookelynn to the market. We exit out the door and begin to go down the street to find the market. "That lady was so sweet. I feel like if we stayed a little longer we would have gotten cookies!" says Brooke kinda disappointed we didn't get cookies. "Yea, she was really sweet. If only she did give us cookies. We probably wouldn't need to go to the market." Brookelynn looks as me and she points to something on the floor. "Look how cute!" She yells with excitement. I look down and I see a little pig. Its little tail is wagging like a dog. And It has cute little spots that are like a blue, black surrounding its body. "It is so cute! Can we keep it!?!?!" She asks as if she needs my permission. "Sure why not. I mean, We could teach it some magic I guess. All it needs is some training and a couple snacks. Who knows it might even learn how to heal us if we need it." I say as I conjure up a little collar. "Yay! It's officially a her. And I will name her Spot." Brookelynn says as she grabs the collar and enchants 'Spot' on the nameplate. "We will be best friends forever Spot!" "oink oink!" Spot says to Brookelynn as if agreeing to what she just said. We continue down the street for the market. Spot "oink oink oink oink" as she sniffs the floor for food. We get to the market and the street is empty. But there is one man. He is standing at his stand. "To be honest I am kinda scared to go up to that man and ask for some food..." Brooke whispers to me as she picks up Spot and holds her. "Yea... He is kinda creepy huh?"

"Yea he is so creepy... Lets not... Lets just come back tomorrow.." Brooke says trembling

"Yea ok.. We will come back tomorrow, get some food. Then we will go get some gold in some dungeons. Does that sound ok?" I ask as Brookelynn as she is holding Spot petting her head.

"Yea That sounds amazing." She replies as she continues to pet Spot's head. And we head back to the Inn.
