Chapter 4
Chris walked into the pub. "Good day, April," he said nodding toward a particular female. "Good day, Chris," she replied. "The messenger has returned and I shall be its guide. I need to buy a few supplies," he commented. "Whatever you need. We sell more than meets the eye and you know it," April informed him. "Yes, yes. you know I know what you know that I know," Chris said handing a list to her. "Be back in about an hour and we'll have it ready," she told him. Chris nodded and left the pub.
Stepping out the door, he waved to the vendors out in the street. Teh flower vendor left his card and came up to Chris. "your journey today shall open forth an amazing transformation of the heart of Secfenia. The man you are guiding shall guide Secfenia in the future," the man prophesied to Chris. "Mark, why these words," Chris asked him. "The Rise Rose called to him and I've dreamed about him returning triumphiantly into the city with the Zachrin Rose," Mark informed him. "I swear, you are those damn roses. It's only a myth," Chris said with a sigh. Mark shrugged and went back to his cart.
Chris walked towardst he step where he had met Alex the night before. As he got closer, he noticed Alex there with his cloak on. "Good day, Alex," Chris said sitting next to him. "Good day. How long shall we travel today," Alex asked opening up the note examining it for the millionth time. "The journey should not take much time, but it's a good distance away. I would give you more info, but this is not a good place," Chris said in a low tone. Alex nodded and closed his eyes. Slowly, he put his hood over his head.
"The supplies should be here shortly, but until then a little rest here should be good. We have a bit of walking. Not many have ever tried to go. Only a select few have tried," Chris commented. "And I assume that Robert has," Alex inquired. "Yes, he did. Several years ago he went there with a guide. It was one of the few quiet spots that he had. He was in a tight spot. A member of two worlds - nobility and common. His compassion for both was amazing," Chris informed Alex.
"What happened to him," Alex asked. Chris looked down at the dirt. "Unfortunately, he was murdered in cold blood by a mad man. Many people tried to save him, but all failed. However, his ideas are still floating in many people. Maybe one day we shall be able to make an appropriate burial place for him," Chris commented. "I see. It seems like a great loss for many here," Alex noted. "For some more than others. His love had lost one who was very dear to her," Chris informed Alex.
Hearing footsteps coming near, both Chris and Alex looked up. A very beautiful lady was heading their way with two backpacks. "Good day, April," Chris said as Alex stood up. April looked at the man with the cloak on. "Good day, Chris and messenger," she replied. Alex nodded towards her. "Thank you for getting it together for us," Chris said giving her numerous coins. "It's what we do," she said feeling her heart beginning to race. "I am feeling very unusual today... something different," she thought. "Safe journey," she told them. "Safe journey," Chris replied standing. April turned away and walked back towards the pub.
"April... she is familiar to me," Alex commented to Chris. "Well, you did used to live here. She is part of the whole system here. We should start our journey. Northbound we do start off with," Chris commented starting to walk. Alex followed and kept pace with him. Alex knew this was the start of the reunion of him and his future.
