When The Time is Right

I walked into the hall after wearing some better clothes—as Anya had said—and wrapped a cloak around myself. 

There I saw Ellyn and Anya waiting for me. Both of them were not dressed as fashionably as I'd thought since most of their fashion was covered by the cloaks they wore. Cloaks were necessary after all, it was the winter season. 

"Finally done?" Anya asked. 

"Yeah, let's go," I said.

After informing Ainge of our departure, we left our house behind and stepped out on the road. 

This road had less traffic because it was one of the larger alleyways and not technically a road. The path was paved with cobblestone and the snowfall from last night was collected on the sides. 

We walked on this path for a while before it emerged and connected with the main road. Now, this was what you would like to call a road. The ground was paved with grated sandstone and the road was wide enough for five wagons to move side by side.
