The Sword of dreams

The carriage moved in the pavement road made for the traveling of the carriages. The place that was bustelling now feels very empty.We exit the Funar territory and shifted to the rocky road heading towards Alvala. 

'I wanted to change my clothes before I meet Sofia.' I think as I look out the window watching the trees sprint away. 

I shifted my gaze and moved my body a little facing Barman and said "I will need to change into some subtle clothes. We are going in for a secret meeting."

Barman nodded and said "yes My lord. I will arrange for it." 

I affirmed the reply and closed my eyes, imagining the plan that will unfold in the grand noble meeting. 

***

We entered Alvala around half past two. The streets were empty except for one or two people passing by. The shops closed and the magic lamp set on the sidewalk illuminating the area faintly. The voice of the carriage moving on the pavemented road was uniform and pleasing to hear.

 We moved to the seventh district out of the twenty five. It is specially for residential areas, including from six to fifteen. While one to five is the market area and from sixteen to twenty is reserved for the houses of high end company and organization owners.

District twenty one is where the Mayor of Alvala stays, which also has the town square and white house, it is located in the middle of the country. District twenty two to twenty five is the industrial areas, including branded shops and high end merchandise. 

Creak!

The carriage came to a stop in front of an inn. Barman handed me a robe and as I put it on the door opened. Barman got down and held the door for me. I walked down with careful steps and walked towards the inn. I looked up as Barman came to my side.

I read the sign 'Sunmantle beautiful name.'

"It's the name of an ancient bird called Roc." Barman informed me as we entered the inn. 

The inn was quiet. Barman went to the register and rapped the table. The man in charge came out of his cabin behind the register with messy brown hair and doe brown eyes.

"How may I help you?"

"Can we get two rooms please." 

"two gold per night." The man said, yawning.

Barman removed the coin from his pocket and handed it to the man. In exchange he gave him two room keys. 

"Room 202 and 203. If you need anything just come to me. My name is Lin."

"Ok thank you." Barman nodded and then came to me. He gestured towards the stairs and we walked upstairs. The floor made creaking sounds as if they were old. Making it difficult to walk without any noise.

We reached the second floor, we found our room and Barman opened the two rooms on the left side. I entered the room and laid on the bed. Even though I had not been sleeping for two nights, the sleep seems to not come to me.

I stare at the ceiling that was not that high and talk to myself.

"If you can dream it, you can be it. That's what you used to say but I think I forgot what it's like to dream so it's not helping very much father."

I sigh and shut my eyes. 

After a few minutes I got up and went over to the desk in the room. I put my hands in my inventory and removed a book from it. The book title was "Words of Hope."

I opened the book and started reading from where I left off. 

-"In the embrace of the Almighty, hope blossom eternal."

-"Our refuge in times of despair, the God of hope anchors our souls."

-"The divine architect of hope, weaving promises into the fabric of our faith."

-"Where shadows linger, the God of hope illuminates our path with unwavering light."

-"Hope rises like a dawn, painted by the brushstrokes of the God who never fails."

-"Within the whispers of prayer, we find solace in the God who is the very essence of hope."

-"The prayers describe the nature of the god who descended to save us all in the dark day of humanity."

-"The war against demons was harsh but angles of hope together with the great hero's fought valiantly and protected the lands that we stand on now." 

-"With the goddess of stars and god of sun we lit the world in a blessing of freedom and joy."

-"In the tapestry of time, where threads of despair once hung heavy, the God of hope intricately wove a narrative of redemption. As the final chapter unfolds, we stand on the precipice of a new dawn, where the whispers of hope echo eternally—a testament to the enduring love of the God who authored our story and illuminated our path with the radiant light of unwavering hope." 

I smirk and think 'Can't believe it is how he showed up in this world while I was not even there.'

***

The light of the sun creeped in through the open window beside the desk. I blink my eyes as I adjust to the shift of light from the lamp to sun. I read till I heard knocks. 

"Come in."

Barman entered the door with a bag. I closed the book and moved it back in my inventory. I got up and went towards him.

"Good morning my lord." 

"hmm."

I began to undo my shirt as Barman removed my clothes from the bag and begin helping me dress.

I was wearing a very long sleeved, furred jacket covering me to just below my knees and is loosely tied with string at the right side. The sleeves of the jacket are a comfortable fit and reach down to just below the wrists, they're decorated with a decorative band at the edges.

The jacket has a round neckline which reveals part of the elegant shirt worn below it and is worn with a wide leather belt, which is held together by a big belt buckle. The leather belt is entirely decorative and a way to show off.

The pants in contrast are simple and narrow and reach down to the shoes. The shoes are made from a rare materials, but are otherwise a common type. The whole outfit was black giving me a edgy overall look.

I checked myself in the mirror and then we headed down to return the key and head to a good restaurant to eat the breakfast.
