I stood at the entrance of the forest, arriving at the foot of the mountain. My mind still wondered as to where Laura was. When I went to the hills, the entrance to it was barricaded. The people who guarded the blockade said that bandits entered the city and they were preventing a swift escape for them. For certain, Laura couldn’t be there. I could only wonder if she was safe. I shook my head as I tried to remove those thoughts from my mind. Now wasn’t the time to think about her. I had to focus on my mission and that was to get the ledoras herb. I took a deep breath and slowly trotted into the forest. ~*~*~*~ Bird chirped from afar. The sun rays enlightened the faint path as it pierced through the leaves of the tall trees. Rustling from the ground was evident. And squirrels scurried from tree to tree. I hopped off of Lady and walked slowly as I examined all the plants on the ground. The Medicine King provided a brief description of the plant. It was a good thing that I visited

We had walked for quite some time now. All I saw were endless miles of trees and everything that was green. But, suddenly, we arrived at a place that I thought only existed in myths. Those tales that were told to us to make us sleep. “And we have arrived,” the woman said as she struck her staff onto the grass-covered ground. “The heart of the forest.” I slowly stepped forward. My mouth hung open in disbelief from what I was seeing. Faint sunlight shone through the leaves from the towering trees. Different flowers surrounded us. To our right was a small waterfall with a narrow river that cascaded past us. Even more birds sang in the air. I was about to walk further when the woman stopped me, grabbing me by my shoulder. “What’s the matter?” I asked as I was brought back from my sense of wonder. “Have you ever been in this kind of environment? The kind of surrounding where everything is too beautiful, it is beyond belief?” she asked. As a matter of fact, no. Why?” I replied. She s

I barged into the room, the doors swung open and hit the walls behind them. A loud bang echoed throughout the room. “Robert!” Bethilda exclaimed. “I didn’t know that you were already here.” I paid no mind to her and walked directly towards Mother. “I have your medicine, Mother,” I smiled as I sat beside her. I kissed her forehead before I showed the ledoras plant, still wrapped within a leaf. “Is this real?” Mother asked as she looked at me with pride. “Yes, Mother. It is indeed the ledoras plant,” I answered, carefully opening the leaf. “This is what the Medicine King told you to take. I asked him about it and now, I found it for you.” “How does it work?” she asked, eager to take the herb. I then explained, “You can take it as it is or we can brew it. However, the guardian of this plant said it’s better to eat it. I planned to brew it but I didn’t want to lessen the strength of its healing extract. You don’t have to worry about chewing. The plant is soft enough to eat.” Mother

Another hectic day for the king of Western Wind. Just after he awakened from his sleep, he immediately summoned the higher nobles of the court for a meeting. He skipped his greetings to his still sleeping wife and rushed to prepare himself. And when he arrived in the accepting room, he was told of a big problem at the pier. Some of the fishermen complained about not being compensated properly. They also needed new fishing vessels to meet the growing demands of exportation and of their own economy. James wasted no time. He ordered for the royal carriage right away and accompanied the nobles to the pier. ~*~*~*~ It took almost half of the day for everyone to settle down. James and the nobles brought all of the fishermen into the nearest town hall to discuss the issue. It took a huge amount of patience, and a lot of back and forth between the two parties. But after a long deliberation with the nobles and his royal advisors, James finally gave the fishermen the assurance that they ne

Another exhausting day passed within the Winston Bakery. Everything has been cleaned and everyone has left the store. The windows were barred. Some of the lights were dimmed as two people remained inside. Laura was too immersed in scrubbing the floors. They were already cleaned by her other works. But for some reason, she was compelled to do it again. Perhaps, it was her way to ignore what just happened when she brought a letter to Robert’s home without his knowledge. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*- ‘As the cockerel greeted the morning with its powerful crow, Laura just finished writing a letter for Robert. After their bitter separation, Laura couldn’t help but be guilty for how they parted ways. ‘It was a decision that only one was willing to make. ‘She knew it was for the better. But she also knew that she never considered Robert’s feelings before making it absolute. And when they ended everything on a sour note, she was uneasy about everything. ‘Because of that, she did what she thought she

Once I arrived, I quickly hopped off of Lady and entered the bakery. Thankfully, Grandpa Ben was there. “Grandpa Ben!” I called as I rushed over to him. People stared at me with judgmental eyes but I didn’t care. I needed to get to the bottom of everything. And my voice was loud enough for Grandpa Ben to turn his head to my direction. “Robert!” he smiled. He walked to me, wiping his hands with his apron. “I didn’t expect that you would be back so soon. It’s always a delight to see you,” he continued. “It’s a pleasure to see you again, Grandpa Ben,” I returned a smile. “Your creations are something that are not of this world. It has left me wanting more.” “But I know that our food isn’t the main reason whenever you come and visit. Am I correct, son?” Grandpa Ben asked with a teasing look. I laughed nervously as I scratched my nape. It might have been too obvious, I supposed. Laura had always been the excuse for me to come here. After a sigh, I replied, “I can’t hide anything from

I was stunned. We remained silent for a moment as she continued to row. How was it possible that she used to live here? The stories said that this town burnt down ages ago. That would make her too old. “How is that even possible?” I asked. “They said this was abandoned even before I was born.” She chuckled. “People are still gullible when it comes to false information. Story-tellers will truly exaggerate the truth in order to make things even more dramatic. And in this case, that was done to make this place like it’s haunted,” she replied. “But you said you were from an orphanage. How were you able to confirm that this is your birth place?” I asked. “Once, I was tasked to scrub the library floor when I overhead some of the workers in the orphanage. They were talking about certain children in the home. Their conversation ranged from the eldest children and then, to the newest ones. I was one of them,” she explained. She continued, “They said that whoever brought me to the orphanage

We finished the entire sack and we were now left with the half-filled one. We talked and shared so much about each other. It was as if time stopped, giving us more room to be together. But our joyful conversations were cut short when a soft thunder came from the skies. We looked up and the clouds slowly blocked the sun. Another faint thunder grumbled from afar. The sky continued to grow grey in colour. ‘James must be in an unforgiving mood right now,’ I thought to myself. “It is best that we leave,” Laura tied the sack and put it back under her seat. “We don’t want to return home soaked with rain water,” she added as we prepared to leave. “As a prince of the kingdom who is responsible for rain, I understand what you said,” I teased as I sat firmly on my end of the boat. She then grabbed the oars and fiddled with them as she slid them to the oarlocks. “I hope we will be able to get out of here in time. We are quite deep in this swamp,” she said. “I can row for us. I can do it fast
