My route through Kirkoim turned slightly north. The road directly east would take me to Radlania, the heart of the harvest god religion, but I wished to take a bit of a detour. Since I was already this close, I wanted to drop in to visit the Duchy of Travoya, the city of Janpemon. I had caused a bit of trouble in Odine on my last visit there, but the Alliance was made up of a collection of small, independent nations. Maybe things were different around Odine, but I couldn’t imagine they would be on the lookout for me all the way down in Janpemon.

On my last visit, Nonna’s great-granddaughter Aina had only been eight years old. She must have grown up considerably since then. That thought kept my steps light and energetic as I walked down the road.

Moment by moment, human children became adults, grew old, and passed away. Countries were the same, changing little by little as their people did.

Salix had said that the bonds I forged outside the Forest Depths were meaningless. He had said their lives were too short to offer anything but sentimental feelings. I could both agree and disagree with that. But even so, I had decided to live my life with these people, to forge those bonds anyway.

Despite the cruel passage of time, as faint as it was, I felt as though something more substantial would be left in my hands. No...whatever that was, I knew I had already collected a fair number of them.

◇◇◇

The Duchy of Travoya, a member of the Azueda Alliance, where the city of Janpemon resided. How many times had I visited this city?

I had never stayed here for all that long. My longest stay must have been about a year and a half, but as my wanderings continued, my feet always seemed to draw me back to this city. I guess that showed just how much of an impact it had left on me.

The harvest season was quite some time away yet. I wouldn’t be able to see the stone ship in the golden sea, but seeing the fields still green was meaningful in and of itself. Just as with my last visit, there was a large fortress sitting in the distance, but perhaps now that the war had settled down, it didn’t feel quite as imposing. Or perhaps, with the wear of time showing on its walls, it was starting to feel more and more like a natural part of the scenery.

Upon entering the city, I headed straight for the inn. I wasn’t sure what to do about the blacksmithing guild. I hadn’t been in a forge for quite some time now, so I was getting a strong urge to take up my hammer again, but I would be able to borrow a forge during my stay in Siglair anyway. Being on the edge of the Man-Eating Swamp, Siglair had a powerful military presence. There was no doubt they’d have a high demand for smiths.

And if I wasn’t planning on doing any blacksmithing here, I likely wouldn’t be in Janpemon for long.
