Jul. 6, 2008 - nothing much

There is apsolutely nothing going on here! My family and I have gone and come back from seeing my grandparents in Washington. It was OK-I like being at home just because its familar. I've moved so many times that i hate leaving. When I'm married, I'm staying in one place!

Its sorta funny because some of my friends wish they could go to different places and don't think its all that great staying in one place all their lives. I think its awesome-you have time to make life-time friends, know the town better then anyone else, you never leave friends behind, and so on. guess that saying "grass is always greener on the other side" is true! :)

so my mind isn't really here so, here comes another blah!!!!!!

The rain poured down, drenching the earth and the one unlucky person who was outside:Fawna. She had been traveling for days on end, with only her hawk, Horus, as a companion. The night was freezing; it was the kind that brought goosebumps up instantly! Fawna growled at the sky as hail started pecking her. Her black stallion wuffled in anoyance and bucked a tiny bit. Urging him forward, Fauna prayed that they would find a town sooner the later.

Thankfully, it wasn't-lights flickered about a mile away. New energy flowed through her  veins and a gallop was brought about without any urge and she was riding through town in a heartbeat. The only thought going through her mind was  warm room, a good meal, and a hit bath! she dismounted outside the inn of the Dragon's Belly and handed the reins over to the small stableboy. Shaking her  cropped hair out like a dog, she went inside with Horus on her shoulder.

It was the best thing to see after traveling: a warm fire in the hearth, laughing people smiling over their tankards, and a very large inn keeper with an even larger smile on his face. In smite of how cold she was, Fawna smiled.

"Me names Harker; how mer I help yer, Miss?" the inn keeper siad cheerfully.

"Room, food and a hot bath, please!"

"Right away, ma'am!" He tipped his head and belowed to the back, "Jacky, get this miss a room and dig up the lady some grub!"

Fawna trudged to an empty table where she could easily see the entire room and all the inhabitants. A steak and large potatoe was brought to her along with a large mug of ale. she wolfed the food down, laid a gold coin on the table and disappeared up teh stairs to her room. Horus flew to the bed post as she headed straight to the bath.

Behind the screen was illuminated by a single candle and the sounds drifted up from downstairs. fawna sank into the water and shut her eyes, letting the water soak away all teh mud from travel. For the first time in two weeks, she was realxed.

It was still three days to the Palace: one day at sea and two over land. She couldn't wait to see her father, King of Gaytectin! She had been gone for so long and had so many other things on her mind that she had forgotten how much she missed him. Llevar would be waiting for her, of course; the only thing she did not look forward to was the duties of the palace. She pushed those thoughts away and enjoyed the soothing heat.

she groaned as she pulled herself out the now cold water, dried off and crawled into her soft bed. Slipping into a dream, Fawna slept peacefully.

A crash woke her to full alertness. Shouts from downstairs told her that something was wrong.
