The Beginning of a New Journey

As the siblings finally reached the entrance of Morrowl, where the corpses were hung, three carriages were parked in front of the entrance.

In the carriage closest to the gate, there was some food and goods stuffed into its trunk. Clearly where all of the supplies were stored.

In the carriage in front of the first, in the middle, there were leather seats fitted into it. It was the most expensive carriage this town had to offer. It was a private carriage where Damian and Sarah could rest during their nights on the road.

The front carriage, furthest away from the gate, had weapons, armours, and torches stuffed into it. This carriage was meant to be used as the first line of defence in case any beasts were to come and attack the carriages.

There were a total of 8 people around the carriages. Most of them seemed guards but the 3 of them were just carriage drivers.

Out of the 5 guards, 2 were women while 3 were men. Sarah doesn't remember seeing any of these people before so they must be hired from outside of town.

Sarah and Damian bring their bags inside the private carriage and start getting ready for their travel.

The travel should last for about 3 weeks if nothing serious happens during the trip.

The guards weren't cultivators but they seemed to have this sharp and domineering aura around them that seems to speak of their experience in battle.

Sarah has already slept with a war veteran so she knows how they were. Usually, they were quite like cold metal and they usually only do as ordered. If that wasn't the case then Hanz wouldn't have blown up so much while ploughing Sarah into submission.

Sarah and Damian hopped into the carriage and the horses started moving. Whipping sounds were heard from the front of the carriages as they finally set off for their journey.

They finally left the slums of Morrowl.

__________________________

They were already a long way away from Morrowl's forest. Sarah had taken a peek at her old make-out spots and was pissed to find out other couples were using them.

Like, come on! At least give some credit to the person who discovered them! These men trying to act all romantic and sensitive to their loved ones, ptui! piggying of my back you little shits!

Sarah continued her rant for a while, but after seeing the trees and caves she had used long ago disappear from her sights, she started to calm down.

Eventually, nighttime arrived as Sarah sat on the forest floor, laying her back on a nearby tree as she remembered the journey they had travelled today.

This night wasn't as dark as the night when she was running around with a blue light following her. It looked much brighter and more beautiful. Almost as much as after she had received her Divine Inheritance.

Honestly, that was an especially weird night. A lot of contradictory things happened at the time of her receiving her Divine Inheritance. Time had stopped, everything was pitch black and a floating blue light was following her around as she tried to run away for hours.

Yep, weird. But at least it was exciting.

But riding in a carriage was 'sooo boring' for Sarah. The carriage never moved fast enough to give you a sense of speed but it also never moved slow enough to appreciate the surrounding nature.

It was just so boring!

Sarah enjoyed the novelty of the carriage for the first few hours, but it quickly faded away with the monotonous sights as they moved across the forest.

It just looked like the same forest around Morrowl. Nothing really felt different yet.

But as Sarah sat on the ground, she started to feel a little peckish after all of that thinking. So she decided to leave the tree and go and grab some grub for the night.

Sarah walked around for a while hoping to see a small crowd of eight next to the bonfire while they cooked some food, but instead what she found was emptiness.

Sarah felt this was a bit weird. Didn't they have around 8 people with them? What happened to them?

Sarah started looking around the camp when she found a pit in the middle of the camp with carriages surrounding it.

The carriages were parked in a circular formation to give a sense of safety during the night and also so they could keep a close watch on their goods while sleeping.

It was a very effective strategy that worked since long ago.

As Sarah saw the pit, she immediately realised where everyone had gone.

They went to get firewood!

As Sarah continued looking around, she soon found a few other people inside the carriages trying to find cooking utensils so they could start cooking by the time the firewood arrived.

Sarah had a small smile as she held her hand next to her heart.

Thank god she wasn't alone.

Sarah decided to check inside a few carriages to find people to talk to. She didn't like being alone in the forest. Especially since she was outside of the forest around Morrowl. She wanted some company so she could feel safe.

She searched around for a while and decided to enter inside the food carriage to see if there was any free food, only to find a young-looking man with golden-blond hair and a sword cradled in between his arms.

He had a well-groomed beard that gave a tamed appearance to him, but he also wore a black leather armour that somehow contrasted with his golden-blond hair and reddish-brown eyes.

He was sitting as he had a few sips from his liquor flask. Trying to relax his nerves as he looked at the starry sky. As if reminiscing something he used to have.

Sarah saw the man, sitting by himself, so she decided to approach him.

As Sarah approached the man, he suddenly twisted his head in her direction with a cold gaze.

It was the gaze of a hunter.

The gaze of a predator...

But Sarah quickly beat her nerves down as she decided to sit next to the man.

He seemed somewhat special to Sarah. Her intuition was telling her so.

So Sarah smiled as she pointed her hand towards the place next to him asking if she could seat next to him in a non-verbal way.

The man stared at Sarah for a few moments. As if he was trying to push Sarah away purely with his gaze.

But Sarah didn't seem to notice the man's attempts at disagreeing with her.

In the end, the man took another sip from his flask before nodding his head and looking away from Sarah.

Sarah didn't know if that meant yes or something else, but she decided to think it was a yes as she grabbed the underneath of her dress and pulled it up as she sat down elegantly.

Sarah waited for the others to come back with the man beside her. Not speaking a single word as she just looked at the same starry night sky next to the man.

Sarah felt a special feeling when she looked at Jonah.

She didn't know why, but she had this idea of seducing him enter into her mind.

The man seems to have a cold attitude towards Sarah. And she didn't know why she wanted him so bad.

But Sarah thought about the boredom of travel, and that seemed to have set the deal for her as she decided to have some fun during the duration of this trip.

So she decided to try and seduce this man for the trip.

It would surely bring a lot of fun...
