Chapter 1
As I look up to the sky, light breaks through the clouds as a welcoming of the morning. I wonder how far I am from home againas I listen to the sound of the train moving on the rails as we quickly trail even farther from our town.
The trip is supposed as quarter a day and we are halfway through our travel. Caused by a few misunderstandings and a small problem in the engine, our journey was delayed by about two hours. Departure was meant to be at midnight to have an estimated arrival at about dawn.
Pirequa is already in view. It is a town before our destination which is Creatilicht. It is quite a beauty. The very sight of a place that was used to be told to me by my mother when I was still a child, Pireaqua, the town of large bodies of water and a lot of volcanoes to add. It is popular among tourist as a place for vacation. With all the hot springs, the ocean close by and also the sights of towering and petite magma mountain.
"Cookies fer yer hung'ry self kid?," a woman who is in her forties, probably, is selling some snacks. She's a bit weird sounding old lady. "Tis better to start yer travel with a humbled stomach. " I guess it would be fine to have a try of the goods then.
"One pack for me then." Handing just the amount for it, the old lady held my hands saying, "G'luck kid! May your journey go as your name tells. "
Startled, I almost dropped what I have just bought.
"Tchjk tchjk toot toot," the sound of the train as it comes to a gradual stop was just enough distraction for the lady to slip out before I can ask about what she menat before.
Oh well, nevermind. It's time to set out.
