“It is a river.”

Just like I’d thought. Only a few trees stood on either side of the water. It was like the forest got cut off by a bed of smooth, whitish stones. The river’s shores sloped gently down to the water, but the river itself almost looked like a giant scar running through the forest. There was a river near my village too, but its shores didn’t look like this.

I walked down to the river’s edge, being careful not to trip over any stones. The water definitely wasn’t the cleanest I’d ever seen. It wasn’t muddy or anything, but it also wasn’t clear enough for me to see the bottom of the river. I knelt down, tried scooping some up in my hands, and took a closer look. There wasn’t anything gross floating around, so I cupped my hands again, filled them with water from the very top of the river, and drank it up. I’d heard that drinking too much river water could give you a tummy ache, but I was so thirsty I couldn’t hold back. I scooped up another two handfuls before I was satisfied enough to stop.

I looked up and spent a few seconds taking in my surroundings. This river wasn’t actually very big. The other shore didn’t seem too far away, and the water wasn’t moving that fast either. Still, the fact that I couldn’t see the bottom meant it was probably pretty deep, and I’d need to swim if I wanted to cross it. Good thing I didn’t have any real reason to.

I was curious though. Just a little.

The sea. All those people. Tall buildings, huge walls, chopped stumps—nothing but new sights and sounds since I’d left my little village. What was on the other side of this river? More places I’d never seen before?

“Huh? The plants around here look kinda different...” I’d only had eyes for the water at first, but now I saw them. I jumped to my feet and rushed over to what I’d spotted. I didn’t have to run, but I was too excited not to. Leaves were peeping out, almost like they were shy, between the smooth rocks all over the riverbank—leaves I’d seen before.

“Found one!” I shouted, like I was proudly announcing my discovery to the world.

The leaves were fleshy but long and thin, while the stalks were covered in nasty-looking spikes. This was definitely one of the herbs I needed. It was the one drawn at the very top of the request. It wasn’t worth a lot, but I was just glad to have my first harvest for the day. Plus, I could take as much as I wanted since it was growing all over the shore.

I quickly drew my knife and started cutting the leaves off the stem, just like the request said to. They were pretty tough, so I was glad I had a knife. The instructions also said to leave the thorny stems alone. I didn’t know why, but I followed the request. There wasn’t that much room in my coat-basket anyway.
