Snow Tower

Chapter 5 Snow Tower!

Stopping to a halt. The old man turns to Ver who is sitting in the back of the wagon. We're here! says the old man, Ver inches up toward the front of the wagon. Looking up Ver see's the sign of the town. Walking forward to meet the old man in the front of the wagon, Ver stops and puts a hand on the old man's shoulder and says, with a warm smile thanks old geezer for the ride! Showing gratitude the old man smiles back and says, no problem youngin it was my pleasure! After saying his good bye Ver leaps out the wagon landing on the white pillowy snow once again.

Ver turns back raising up his hand and says, see ya old man! joyfully smiling the old man responds back and says, good luck youngin! Turning his wagon around the old man takes off in the opposite direction. Focused looking forward at his new surroundings, Ver starts his stride into the snowy town. While walking Ver gets crowded by a horde of people walking in the town. Quite festive people walk up and down the streets of the town either going to there respective homes or visiting the local vendors that litter the snowy streets. All the homes and some local buildings kinda resemble the shape of tall match boxes covered in a white film of snow. Looking around still walking, Ver asks himself, maybe I should ask someone around here if they know where I can find Sal White?

Jerky! get your fresh jerky here! A vendor salesman yells out aloud. Getting his attention Ver follows the voice to the source. Stopping in front of the jerky vendorman's stall, With wide eyes the salesman gives out his sales pitch and says, hello there sir might I interest you in some nice warm jerky on this fine cold day! Raising up a hand in a polite manner Ver says, no thanks but I do have a question for you? With a calm smile the yellow eyed greenish haired vendorman says, what would you like to know sir? Changing to a more serious demeaner Ver says, do you know where I can find a guy named Sal White? In an instant from a grin to shock the green haired vendorman sutters and says, Sa Sa Sal White!

Dread fills the young vendormans eyes and says, why do you want to see Sal White?! Do you have a death wish! Ver with a calmer expression across his face says, no not particularly I just got some business with the guy. So you going to tell me where I can find him or do I have to ask someone else. Nervous and fidgety the young jerky vendorman says, no I'll tell ya where you can find him! Out stretching his arm pointing out his finger. Following the young man's gesture, Ver turns his head toward where the young man is pointing. Now looking Ver see's a huge and imposing tower that looms over the town. Putting his arm down the young vendorman says, that's where he is. Shifting his body toward the direction of the tower. With a some what crooked smile appearing on Ver's face he says, quite an intimidating little fortress! Turning his head slightly back toward the young vendorman, Ver says, thanks for the tip. Digging in his black pants pocket Ver pulls out a gold coin. He flicks it at the young vendor, catching it in his hands the young vendorman says, don't tell me! You are not thinking of going to that tower are you? Giving off a cocky nonchalant smile Ver says, yeah I am my friend! Looking puzzled and worried the young vendorman says, you can't! where that tower is located it's in a really terrible chaotic side of town, you might die sir! Turning facing the tower once again Ver says out aloud, well I guess that's the risk I'm taking, see ya kid. Thus Ver starts his stride to the direction of the tower.
