On the Road (1)

We have set out of the village before the sun rose. The weather was fine, and our pace was not fast and not slow. I was afraid at first that my mediocre riding skills will slow down the group, but fortunately I was able to keep up with their pace.

"How are you feeling?" Regaleon who was riding by my side asked.

"I am doing fine." I smiled at him in reply.

But in truth, my body was starting to get tired. My legs are starting to get sore and numb. We were riding for at least more than two hours now, not that long since we left the village. I opted to keep what I was feeling all to myself. I was thinking that this voyage is quite important, and time is of the essence.

"Let's take a quick break." Regaleon said. "Tell the men from behind." He ordered Chris who was riding behind us.

"Yes, your majesty." Chris replied curtly and turned his horse around to convey Regaleon's orders.
