•••7. Thê Jôûrnêy•••

The carriage from Fertilidrum rattled as it sped on towards its destination. The young woman sat inside it and solemnly gazed outside the window. She sighed when the constant rattling of the carriage made her feel fatigued, her legs were aching too for being seated in same position. She opened her shoes exposing her stockings clad feet and adjusted them by sitting in an Indian style, resting her back comfortably beside the window. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths to calm herself and her uneasy heart. She hoped that she'll receive a letter from Mary once she reaches the Heathenne County.
