16. Never Have I Ever

“That was pretty weird, right?” I ask Taryn as we travel down the desolate dirt road.

He shrugs. “What, Pressley? Not much different than anything else we’ve experienced in here.”

I suppose he’s right. I’m a troll; he’s a dwarf. We’ve done things we could never possibly do in real life, and it all seems so natural. He’s a regular Snow White when it comes to pets, and I can go into a barbaric rage and not end up in jail for it. Why wouldn’t a supposed death knight have emotional problems and mood swings? Maybe that’s why it’s such a rare class.

We pass the last of the major towns surrounding Seascape, and for the next two days, we only encounter small villages. More often than not, village is overstating it, and they’re just a couple of farmhouses that offer a room to weary travelers.

Not many people take the eastern road to the mountains. The Mythroad is the safer and more populous route that cuts straight across the island. I’m sure once the portal is opened in Vanaria, it will be used less and less.

It’s unfortunate for those that depend on travelers and tourism, but such is the price of progress.

We’re about a day’s ride from the base of the mountain, even with Taryn using Strong Wind to speed up our travels. The journey is long and boring. What I wouldn’t give for some in-game music to help pass the time.

I check every tab of my user interface, but there’s no such luck. Instead, we’re forced to rely our own devices, playing “I Spy” and “Never Have I Ever.”

Jon taps his finger against his chin. “Never have I ever…flown on an airplane.”

I put down one of my fingers, leaving two up. Taryn still has all three of his.

“No shit?” Jon tilts his head. “I thought I was one of the few people to have never flown. I’ve got a terrible fear of heights. Can’t even imagine looking down from the inside of a plane.”

I’m surprised I’m the only one who has flown in a plane. “It’s not so bad. When you’re up that high, it doesn’t even look real. It’s like staring down at some kid’s playset. The trees, the cars, they all look like models. Taryn, have you really never flown?”

He gives me an incredulous look. “To where? My family never had money for vacations. My vacation was a long walk through Central Park.” He laughs. “Or a weekend at your place.”

I smile. “We had a lot of those.”

Thinking back on all the times I flew in a plane, there were too many to count. There was a time when we would take vacations as a family. I remember playing on the beach in Mexico with Maria, my first nanny. Dad was on the phone practically all day. Maria took me down to the beach and we built sandcastles.

Or the time we flew to Colorado to ski. I ended up building a snowman outside of our cabin with Rosa because Mom had a meeting and couldn’t go to our skiing lessons.
