Jake: The Skill-less

He walked away from the campus and to the small market by the side way of the school. Since it was so close to a place filled with students, the market was flooded with students and some teachers too. The place was as colourful as it was noisy and Jake felt weirdly at home. 

There was a place like this in Nothern Zeliar. Around the second intersection of Lake Maria and Lake Lyria. Jake smiled, remembering the folk tale of the two sisters, Maria and Lyria. Zeliar had a lot of these small stories, like the one with Hualin in it and just remembering them made Jake's heart ache. 

He missed home a lot. 

"Oh, kids gather around, 3 more people to pay up and I'll tell you all one of the greatest myths of all time!" an old lady by a stall spoke up. Two more kids came in and tossed coins at her and she accepted them gratefully. "Just one more!" The rest of the thirty to twenty kids waited patiently, looking around.
