Completed Or Alvadas

[Darkalin Pinewood]

Day 8, Season of Spring, 514

I look to the road, and sigh. I am closer to Alvadas. Actually, I'm only about a day away. I start south-east. How much would it cost to sail across the Suvan? How much would food cost? I could see the city coming into view, and I stop to catch my breath. I saw my first city, and it was beautiful. The gate was open right down the hill. I started down the hill at a walk. How can so many people live in such a small place I thought, for indeed it was small compared to the vast mountains. The water was a wonderful, shining blue. I hope the boats aren't too expensive.
