Bandits!

I left the city soon enough. I had no more attachments towards it, and I would eventually come back anyways. The horse rode forward at a frightening speed, and I covered a lot of ground in very little time. I passed by a lot of empty land, and a few villages here and there, but did not want to make a stop until I got to a proper inn. I wanted some good food and a bed to rest in before I continued.

With nothing to do other than to just ride along, it was pretty boring. The sound of the horse was monotonous. If only I could just teleport to the Black Swamp Forest, then I would get rid of all these extra steps.

I stopped in some inn and slept after having a good meal. I made sure that the horse was well tended to in the stables. The fact that every inn that I came across had a stable surprised me, but it was to be expected given that the primary way of transport here was by horse.
