Eternal Love For The Wanderer.(A Romance Story)
Chapter 1
The seemingly endless journey made Tomoe hunch just a little lower. The burning heat of the barren lands, and the somewhat little oasis that did sprung up were just little slices of heaven. Travelling for weeks without proper food and water made Tomoe feel like he should just give up and die.........
But, as Tomoe climbed over the last peak of the endless stretches of mountainous terrain, he saw it! A little tavern felt just like that little slice of heaven. Maybe more. The rush of blood came to his knees, in a sudden blur of euphoria, Tomoe rushed through the rotting wooden door of the inn.
The inside of the inn smelled of burning tobacco mixed with the tinge of sweat. That never bothered Tomoe, being a wandering traveller like himself, got him used to the smell. Tomoe limped up to the barkeep, the adredaline slowly fading away from him. "One room for the night barkeep", said Tomoe, mustering as much energy as he could." No vacancys till tomorrow. Though there is a town, just a short ways from here. Only a few kliks down the road.", said the barkeep with a husky voice. Without saying a word, Tomoe hurriedly bought some food and again set off down the road, hoping to make it to town before nightfall.
The somewhat barren roads, slowly gave way into lush greenerys, and the sounds of rushing streams and rivers nearby made Tomoe think again about the little slice of heaven. To him, this seemed like heaven itself. He smiled to himself and sat down under a tree to gather his strength back again. There was no time for resting he thought to himself again. Town was probably just a few more metres away.
There it stood, in all its glory? The town of which the barkeep spoke about. It was quiet and dark by the time Tomoe arrived into the town. Tomoe searched around the town for half an hour, before entering The Driftwood Inn. A kindly and weathered-faced old man stood at the counter. With a smile on his face, Tomoe greeted the old man."Good to have ye sir." Replied the old man."One room for the night please".Responded Tomoe. "Yes, yes we have a room. You look tired, let's cut the talk and let you rest up".
Tomoe, looked around at his room. Wasnt bad at all. But before he could take in all the details of the room, Tomoe was fast asleep on his bed, as the winds howled and the open ocean rushed against the rocky outcrop of the coasline. Everything was so peaceful................
