‘See, that wasn’t so
hard. Now for something difficult. Why exactly did you save me back at the
city?’
‘Isn’t that kind of
obvious? I wanted to. Besides, you wanted to stab me off my horse’, he pointed
out. ‘And why did you save me back at the stream? It feels less obvious to me.’
‘I felt obliged to
return the favour. Do you think I shouldn’t have?’
‘I think you should
have.’
‘That’s rather
selfish, I’d say’, she chuckled.
He admitted he walked
right into that.
They climbed a small
hillock at the edge of the forest, preparing for another conversation.
On its other side,
wide green plains spanned across the view, blocked by snowy peaks to the right,
and slowly fading into darker green of forest to the left and far, far ahead. A
handful of farmhouses were strewn over the landscape, slightly concentrating
closer to the city.
It was rather big.
With an impressive temple, whose twin towers dominated way over the city walls
themselves, and a great many smaller buildings, it presented itself way better
than the previous one.
Not including fire and
monsters, which may have made it interesting for adventurers and heroes. But it
was just a small group of people.
