In Need of Help

He hugged her tightly, holding her close.

Then, he patted her head.

"Come on, I'll help you pack."

That night, he prepared everything she would need.

He packed her bags carefully, adding tools, money, supplies, and even hidden weapons.

He also made training plans for her to follow while she was away.

"You must stay sharp, no matter what."

He gave her advice, told her stories, and even made her laugh a few times.

By the time morning came, he stood at the gates, watching her leave.

He didn't say much.

Just one sentence

"Remember who you are."

Little Sweetie nodded, gripping her bag tightly.

Then, she turned around and left.

She traveled through countries, deserts, rivers, and forests.

She walked for days, sometimes hitching rides, sometimes sneaking onto carriages.

She disguised herself when necessary.

She slept under the stars when she had to.
