"My l~lord hero what is the destination?" The sun shined down brightly although there was a chill traveling through the air that left me satisfied.
I stood just at the entrance of the city waiting for the others to come although I was a bit early since I couldn't sleep last night. It was moderately busy with a few people entering the city although more were leaving ready to start their day, Hunters and adventures who were going to take on missions while merchant wagons left filled with what ever was popular nowadays.
I was more to the side now warning to bother greeting anyone and so my only company was the carriage driver standing in front of me. He was a short and lanky man to the point I wondered if he was skipping his meals, With the fact that he was shaking constantly and staring at me with fearful eyes i almost felt like I was robbing him.
"All the way to south hollow" I replied simply before my gaze moved to the side and trailed over the carriage.
'It's not great but it will do' I guess calling it a large enclosed wagon was a more adequate description although beggars couldn't be choosers.
"Will you be able to make the trip?" I asked just to be cautious as the lanky man quickly nodded his head.
"Y~yes there will be n~no problem" His enthusiasm left much to be deserved for but I was content.
"We'll leave soon be ready" I walked past him putting my hands in my pockets before I heard a loud shout from behind me.
"I~I understand lord hero!" I glanced back and saw the driver quickly getting on the wagon and staring at it as if checking its condition.
'Should be a fun trip' I thought sarcastically walking to the other side of the carriage and leaned against a medium sized tree.
'Did I get everything?' I pushed my head back and lifted up my right foot putting it against the solid and hard bark.
The sun had only just risen but was already getting slightly hot although I tried not to be bothered by it. After all our destination was somewhere the temperature reached a much more terrifying degree, It was this reason I had dressed lighter than normal in clothing that was breathable and let air flow.
'What's taking them so long' After a while my brows furrowed seeing that the others still weren't here yet.
Perhaps my thoughts were heard after a couple minutes as I saw a figure walking through the crowd and toward my direction. His dark skin and toned body easily recognizable even at this distance, The man in question raised his hand as he saw me and gave a swift wave.
"Hero" Leon greeted me blandly making me wonder where that respectful attitude from when we first met had went.
"Sorry for the wait" He continued in a casual tone stopping just in front of me.
"It's fine" I replied waving him off not wanting to further this conversation before asking what I truly wanted to know.
"Where are the others?" I asked but was confused as Leon smiled with hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Well actually the girls are putting on their new outfits" Leon looked at me matching my gaze and i felt my eyebrows furrow even farther at his words.
"New outfits?" I echoed my voice tinged with confusion and wariness.
Yet before Leon had the chance to answer i started to hear the people around us noticeable become louder. I couldn't help but glance over and I saw the crowd start to part to the sides, All of their gazes seemed to be in the center but it wasn't unit a few seconds later did my eyes finally land on the cause of the tribulation that was in the form of three women.
'What?' I was confused seeing Ella, The duchess and nessa walking forward but my body turned stiff as my gaze moved lower.
