Chapter: 1
The mountain breeze flowed in from the north bringing a cold wind through Luceat; Aurel was stocking the new shipment of fruit into his wagon. It had been a good harvest this month and Aurel was sure he would have a good sale at market this year. He needed to come up with some money to feed himself, the times had been rough on him last year, the crops did not grow and the sun did not shine. Aurel threw the last sack of apples over his shoulder and then plopped them into the wagon; Serenity Aurels only horse gave a whiney as she was getting restless of waiting. Aurel tossed a carrot to her and she took it quite excitedly. Serenity was the only thing Aurel owned to his name, she would go for a good price but he owned her since birth and she was all he had to call family now. With his horse fed and cart loaded Aurel made off for Luceat hoping that this time hopefully.. his luck would change; but he had no idea what was in store for him.
Luceat's crowds hummed with the sound of market vendors and shoppers busstling about in search of the days best deals. The rug vendors shouting at every passerby "come friend come friend come to my shop! today only for you my friend buy 2 rugs and I will throw in this bag of fine silver!" Aurel chuckled to himself as Serenity pulled him and his cart along through the crowd, thinking to himself "hmph... must be nice to be able to make a living off selling things people just walk all over", he pulled the cart off to the side in a low end market stall. The sign above the shop was worn and completely unreadable, he had put it up 4 years ago now and didn't have the money to get a newone. Aurel started unloading his cart taking his time as he knew no one ever bought his fruit, most of it either went to waste or was eaten out of boredom waiting for his next sale.
...............IN PROGRESS.
