The next day, I sat at my desk in the house with my invention journal. My invention journal was chock  full   of  ideas  for robot  prototype designs that I created. I had hoped that one of them would outshine my mother's work but with the resources I had, I couldn't even build a toaster. One day, I walked through Town Square and saw the Queen of Bellenau was addressing the crowd.She had a paper in her hand and stood from her castle on top a porch.

She told the crowd that in her hand was a sum of 15,000,000 Krolle. I watched as she waved it around in front of the raucous assembly and then suddenly, she dropped it. It seemed like eternity that the paper floated down. I just stood there while everybody pushed and tossed to reach it.By some miracle, it landed on my hand and instantly the people went wild and pulled at my cloth.

                                                                      "Caleb, my child. Enjoy this gift and remember, even the darkest tunnels have a light at the end of it"' she said with a motherly smile.She reminded me of mum.I walked home with the money in my possession but not before passing through Arystar Market.

Arystar Market was amazing.My mom and I would pass through here when she came to buy parts for her creations.If you needed something, Arystar Market was the place to get it.Vendors and traders of all different places would flock together at this market and peddle their goods.The most famous good sold here were mechanical parts. I marvelled at the sight of glossy metal sheets and the smell of oil and methane. I closed my eyes and smiled as a I whiiffed the aroma...
