Part Two - New World - Chapter [045]

After everything was done and we were all packed, the tent was safely packed back in the Skybreaker, and the fire had been burnt out making sure we covered it well with rocks to not start a forest fire. 

We started discussing what our next move would be. 

"Remember that tower we passed on our way here?" Arslan mentioned. I nodded. 

"We should go and have a look - only the Shepard can renew the light of the Orientators. Plus it'll be good for the people of this region." Arslan explained.

I must have forgotten to mention, that the elders of the village had given us a key, alongside the various fruits and other perishables that had made our way into our hands. 

It was full morning now, our little detour had made us waste a bit of time, but goddam was it worth it. 

The elders had told us of this little grove just wayside of their town, the camping grounds we had stayed in for the night. 

I wonder if they thought of us as a couple. 

Never mind that - we swiftly made our way through the outskirts of their town hoping we would escape unnoticed, but the skybreaker was loud and we couldn't help but get waving goodbyes and heartfelt bye-byes. 

By their farms, Arslan didn't bother looking at them with the excuse he was driving, I had to sit like a princess and wave back at them. 

Wouldn't wanna lose face. 

I peeked at Arslan, his expression said proud.

And so it went.
