As I was traveling down the dusty road towards the nation of Qurin, I came upon a kitten in the road. It was scrawny, and obviously under fed. I took out some bread and fed the poor thing. As I started off again, I noticed that it followed me. I let it come along since I figured it wouldn't cause any trouble, and besides, I liked cats.
After traveling for three days, I came to a town. My food and water was getting low and, even though I was a fair shot, I didn't want to risk not having food. As I loaded my pack with my purchases, I came across a boy asking someone for the best way to Qurin.
"I'm going to qurin," I said. " You could travel with me. I know the way.
" Thanks very much. If you're sure I'd be glad to go with you to Qurin," the boy said. " I'm Jason. What's your name?"
" My name is Heather, and this monster here is Princess," I said. Princess walked over to Jason and walked in between his legs in a figure eight motion, sniffing, and then, satisfied, walked back over to me. " If you have everything you need, we'll leave now," I said.
" Fine with me."
My new companion and I started walking. When we had been walking for about an hour, Jason asked how someone as young as I came to be travelling alone on such a long journey.
After I replied that I was only three years younger than him, I told him what my mother had told me.
" I'll help you whatever way I can," He said when I finished my story.
" What about you?" I asked. " How did you come to be traveling to Qurin?"
" I have business there," he said and quickly changed the subject. " Don't you think its time we stopped for the night?" He asked.
It was getting late so I put off further questions untill morning.
