Chapter 4: Equipment

I followed the path out of town to the forest’s entrance, where the woodcutter’s hut stood surrounded by stumps. I climbed the nirnaberry tree, took a short break up in its branches while snacking on its fruit, then headed toward the river with stone-covered shores. I didn’t eat any valenwort today. That stuff tasted so bad. Besides, I had enough money to buy a piece of bread for breakfast this morning, so I wasn’t that hungry. The nirnaberries weren’t very filling, but they did taste a little sweet and were pretty good as snacks.

I wonder if that slime’s still hanging around by the river. I hope not. The grown-ups back home all told me slimes were easy to beat, but Waine said they were scary... If an adventurer says that, then I did the right thing when I ran away. Yeah, I’m sure I did.

Because of that slime, I ended up going back to town early yesterday. But there were still plenty of herbs growing on the shore. If I could fill my coat-basket, I might be able to earn twice as much today. Well, maybe not that much. Pretty sure my basket was more than half-full yesterday even though I stopped early. Anyway, I’d definitely earn more, and I’d get my reward for taking a message to Chikka on top of that. Maybe, by tomorrow, I could even buy extra bread to eat for lunch.

I was starting to see how things were looking up, and I was so glad. I was earning money and buying my own food now. That alone made me feel really happy and proud of myself, like I’d already taken a big leap toward being a grown-up. Plus, I met Chikka today. It was my first time meeting a halfling, and I even got to talk to her. It was like all the things I couldn’t experience as a village kid were happening all at once.

Back when Uncle Lehmar had tried to take me to a slave trader, I’d run away... I’d been so scared and actually really regretted leaving home. But now? I felt like I was going to make it. Not as a merchant, like I’d thought at first, but I could get by as an adventurer somehow.

“Oh?” A drop of water landed on the tip of my nose. I looked up at the sky and saw that it was completely covered by clouds. It had been cloudy ever since I’d left the guild this morning. The drips kept coming, but it was only light rain and I didn’t need to find shelter. It was time to start working though. “Better hurry and get picking,” I said to myself.

The clouds weren’t too dark, so I figured the rain probably wouldn’t last long. It wouldn’t rain harder than this, at least. But as I thought about the weather, a new worry popped into my head. There wouldn’t only be sunny days and cloudy days ahead. Sometimes it might pour all day long. In winter, there might even be snowstorms.
