Chapter Two

Daytime Stars

Thankfully the journey to the next town was not a long one, it would only be a few hours walk, but it wasn't long before Waltz grew bored. He decided he should began to entertain himself.

He broke into song...

Kalla blickar, kalla kеrar
Och du var bara 14 vеrar
Ta min hand och visa mig vдgen
Jag дare din I alla lдgen

Hej Hej Monika
Hej pе dig Monika
Hej Monika
Hej pе dig Monika
Hej Monika
Hej pе dig Monika

He leant into Sumaey as he continued to sing...

(his voice was actually not too bad)

Kдnns som vеare kдrlek kom pе sne frеn bцrjan
Precis som lutande tornet I Pisa
Tornet stеare dдare дn idag
Och hдare stеare du och hдare stеare jag

Hej Hej Monika
Hej pе dig Monika

Hej pе dig Monika

Hej pе dig Monika

Then he danced away, doing in cartwheel and skipping over towards Spirit.

'Don't touch me' Spirit hissed as Waltz drew closer.

Waltz froze then, locked eye to eye with Spirit

Waltz smiled then, trying to break the tension as Spirit continued to glare. It was obvious the water elemental still hated him. (quite a bit)

'Hey look!' Waltz declared loudly, suddenly turning away as they continue to walk, pointing down the road as they went. 'We're here!'

Sumaey paused in her footsteps, glancing up at building before them. It was a welcoming sight.

All around the inn the vegetation was lush and thick, the leaves in the trees were bright, and the many paths that led to the inn were winding. Upon the rooftop the moss grew thickly, and through the cathedral-like windows even in midday, there came a warm glow from inside.

'It's glorious isn't it?' Waltz said proudly, standing there with his hands upon his hips in the middle of the road as he took in the sight. 'You know one day I would love to retire and own my own inn. See the folks come and go, learn their stories...'

Sumaey moved towards him, stopping by his side.

'Would you really?' she asked him sceptically.

'Well yeah' he said turning to face her.

'I love being an adventurer and owning my own guild,' his expression turned into a frown then, 'even if they don't respect me' he added in a glower.

Sumaey only gave him a level expression.

'I don't plan on dying' Waltz said to her, 'I know it's dangerous what we do, and that I might die someday, but...' he trailed off then. 'I can't fight until I'm old and grey...and so I will retire, and own my own inn, where I will pass on the valuable information I have gathered over the years to young and worthy adventurers.' He nodded happily to himself at the thought, smiling. 'That is what I will do.'
