In the World of Black and White

Twenty-Three: Starfall

We rode all day to get to Starfall yet we still had a long way to go. we made camp for the night by a river so the horses can get some water. "Who is this girl you're trying to find?" Lilith asked me. "She is some one that needs to go home." I replied. Silence started to fill the air. The crickets were chirping in the forest and the darkness deepened in the sky. "Whoever she is," Lilith said, "she's very lucky to have some one to watch over her." She looked sad like she remembered a very depressing memory. I wanted to ask her what's wrong, but it wasn't my place. "Im going to bed. We'll teach Starfall tomorrow." I told her. The next morning I woke up to find Lilith cleaning up the camp. "Morning Shadow. We have a long ride ahead so get up and start packing." I hate packing. After an hour of riding, we reached Starfall. "Why is the town called Starfall?" Lilith asked me. "During the process of building the town, a strange rock fell from the sky. Many of the builders thought it was a sign from and gods. Thus, the mayor named the town after the event." As we walked through the town, People were everywhere. The town was bustling with life and excitement. We arrived at a stable where we put our horses as we ventured the city. As we walked the market, we saw a giant stone as black as the night in front of us. "Is this the stone?" Lilith asked. I nodded in response. As we stared at the stone, a hand placed gently on my shoulder and a head by my ear. "She's in the Serpent's Kiss tavern." Than the hand and face disappeared. "Come on Lilith. I know where we need to go." We walked back into the crowd.
