Back to the present, the nice lady, Mrs. Weber gave us some bread, eggs and some strong tea. We ate up everything, thanked the lady and set off on our way.

"So, where to next ?" I asked my companion enthusiastically.
"This place is called Lübeck," he answered. "I have a customer there. As soon as the job is done we can go fishing. I'll teach you."
"Okay," I said excitedly. I've never really done many normal things so I love to spend time doing things with Damien.
The moment we reached, we parted ways and I just walked around looking if I could get a job for the day. A fruit seller said he'd like some help, so I got to work. It was a bright sunny day and the air smelt fresh. Customers were plenty here, so I was quite busy.
Sometime around lunch time Damien appeared. We had some food and then went fishing. And I must say it was a really wonderful experience. It had become dark by the time we returned back to the market area. We had caught plenty of fish. We sold them off to a family in exchange for a place to stay for the night.
The next morning we were back on the road. The next place wasn't very close so we had to stop at a bar. Unfortunately, there were a lot of drunkards so I got out of there soon. But Damien liked this kind of crowd and he loved gambling. The only problem was that he never won, not once. I just hope he does not finish the little money we have. By the time we reach the next place it would already be nightfall and we need the money for lodging.
I just walked around in the little market outside the bar. The sky was getting cloudy. I hope it rains after we reach the next place. I don't want to get caught up in the rain.
"Ra-Rapunzel, I need some money, I promise I'll return it," said Damien who appeared drunk.
"What ? Why do you need it ?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"I Lost again."
This cannot be happening we didn't have much money.
"I told you not to gamble. We don't have enough money. You know that."
"Stop arguing and just give me that money," he said in an annoyed voice.
"Get your own money," I yelled, turned around and walked away leaving him there. We never had this kind of argument before and I just did not know how to react.
In my anger I failed to see where I was going. I had reached inside a forest. All the sides looked the same. I was lost. The sky seemed to darken even more.
