Lost Memories Of The Past

Chapter 32 : History Of The Roads - Part 1

"Natalie, wake up. " I walked over to Natalie, who was sleeping soundly under a tree next to mine.

Natalie continued sleeping, ignoring my calls. " Natalie, Wake Up!" I yelled while standing beside her, waking her up.

" You know that you didn't have to yell into my ear." Natalie told me, yawning.

I walked over to my tree. It is technically not my tree, but, I chose it as my shelter last night.  " So, what are we eating?" Natalie asked, sitting up straight.

I took two packets of bread from my bag. " There are packets of bread from yesterday." I told Natalie, handing her the bread.

Natalie sighed. Guess that she is used to eating good stuff.

I sat down by my tree, eating my bread. First day had already passed.

I hurriedly ate my bread, ready to move on with our journey. Luckily there is a forest here. Or else we will really have to sleep on the streets.

" Come on, let's go." Natalie told me, standing up.

Guess it is time to go.

We walked out of the forest, looking around. Which one is the right direction? I turned to Natalie, who turned to her left. " This way."

I followed. Well, the only thing that I can do is follow. Otherwise, I will get lost and end up somewhere else.

Natalie looked at me carefully, as if she had found something weird on me. " What are you doing?" I asked.

Natalie looked back to the front. " Nothing."

Guess she is just weird. Very weird.

We continued to head down the road, only to see some small buildings in front of us. We have reached another town!

I raced forward, stopping at shops to see if I could buy anything. " Let's see."

Nope. In the end, I brought nothing. There was nothing but Jewelleries and gems. All of the food sold their were shaped like diamonds.

" Did you buy anything?" Natalie questioned, looking closely at the sapphire ring that she was holding.

" No. I brought nothing." I replied.

Jewels. Accessories. Argh.

" Oh, you don't like anything that has to do with jewels?" Natalie asked again.

" Guess so." I answered.

Does all of the girls like everything that has to do with jewels?

" Let's move on. "Natalie told me, putting down the sapphire ring.

Well, the ring suits her hair well.

Walking along the pavement of the rest of the town, Natalie and I kept quiet. This kind of reminds me of when we first met.

" Hey Natalie, how did I get lost on the road?" I asked, hoping to find out the answer.

Was it just me being me or is there something wrong with the road?

Natalie stopped. "The road that you got lost at is called the forgotten maze. Years ago, a traveller from Oland came to our country, to find the flower of Legenda, the cure to every illness in the world. "Natalie explained.

"After a three months, he was reported missing."

" Where did he go?"

" No one knows. One day, a young man walked into the royal castle, bringing a man into the castle. "

" The man was-The man was the traveller himself. He got lost into the forgotten maze, only to be found by one of the villagers living in the area." Natalie continued.

" Villagers? "

" The villagers who lived near the forgotten maze knew the place better, which route to take and which route to not. After years, the new king commanded some of the workers to go into the forgotten maze to make roads, so that it will make it easier to know where are the routes." Natalie finished.

" Okay........ Is that all?"

" No. But, you can find out all you want in the next town. The grand library of Sineal." Natalie continued walking.

Okay......... I can't wait to find out all about this country! Grand library of Sineal, here I come!

" Can I have my lunch now?" Natalie rubbed her stomach.

Looks like it is time for lunch.

I opened my bag, searching for the packets of bread. Two left, tomorrow we wouldn't have anymore food.

" What is the problem?" Natalie asked, taking the bread from my hand.

" There wouldn't be breakfast tomorrow." I informed.

Natalie looked shocked for a moment. " Okay........"

Strolling on the pavement, I opened my packet of bread, eating it down. Feels good to have food. I wonder how it feels like to starve?

I turned to look at Natalie. " You finished your bread already?" I looked at mine, I only opened it.

Natalie said nothing.

Okay..........
