LOGINThen she showed me the chicken coop, which also had a dairy cow. We collected all the eggs together, fed the chickens and the cow, milked them and then went into the kitchen, she said that we would first have breakfast and then go to the market square to sell the eggs. So she lived off her chickens' egg production. Since I couldn't really imagine that, I asked her if she could make a living from it. Then she said:
“What does it mean to live from it? With the money I can buy other things that I need to bake bread and cook dinner. And if something is left over, I put it aside and save for bad times. "
I envied her, she had her life fully under control, she didn't need any frills and the like, she lived with what she needed and nothing more. If only all people were like that.
I helped her carry the eggs to the market place. The stalls around the big fountain in the middle were probably always there, she went to one of the stands and spread the eggs on the table. The village was slowly waking up and the market square was getting full. An elderly gentleman came up to us and smiled very friendly.
He greeted us warmly.
“A wonderful good morning, ladies. I didn't even know you had a visitor, Amalia? By the way, I'm the mayor of this pretty little village. My name is Lathol, ”he said to me.
His face was a little plump and he seems to have enough money not to go hungry. Amalia explained to him that I fell and wandered aimlessly last night and that I couldn't remember anything but my name. She probably helped me with that, but what else could she have told him that I came from the future? Certainly not, so I was, the girl with no memory.
He smiled at me worriedly.
“Oh dear, poor child, if you should come up with something again, you are very welcome to come to me and ask for help, maybe I can help you. Since I, as the mayor, know a lot of people, there is definitely someone among them who knows someone you may have known before your accident. "
That's really not true, everyone at home hated me and here I am being helped by complete strangers without them even knowing me or having ever seen me in their life. Maybe that's why my life went so bad, so that it can get better now, that would be too good to be true. I thanked Lathol and gave him a friendly smile.
Then he said to Amalia again:
"I would then like to have the usual amount of eggs."
She packed the eggs in his half-full basket, which already had space for cauliflower, potatoes and cucumbers, gave her the money and turned to go. Suddenly she called after him:
"Wait a minute, you still get change!"
The mayor turned again and smiled broadly.
"You have a visitor, so you have to feed two, it's okay, take it easy and buy something nice for both of you."
He was really very nice, she called out a thank you afterwards. She looked at me and said:
"We'll buy a goose from this afterwards and then we'll have roast goose for dinner."
Something like this was very expensive even in my home country and roast goose was usually only available at Christmas. Was there Christmas here too? I'll find out soon enough and I was looking forward to it, although I have to say I would prefer a pig.
The day went by in a flash, we talked a lot during the day and she decided to buy a pig. I got to know a lot of nice people, many of whom said they would help me. They were all very nice and helpful. Many came by who traveled a lot and thus also got to know a lot of people and these people speculated where I could come from and gave me places that I might know. But since I didn't come from here, none of these places seemed familiar to me. I couldn't tell people much about myself as I supposedly lost my memory. The story came in handy because I wouldn't have known what else to say anyway.
It was around afternoon, the sun was high in the sky when it suddenly became restless, some people started running into their houses, hiding and I didn't understand the excitement, so Amalia was pulling my arm and wanted to go with them run away from me, but since I didn't understand anything, I just stopped. Then she yelled at me:
"Hurry up! The dark elves are coming to the village! "
After a long silence, something started to shake me and I heard someone shout my name over and over again. The voice looked familiar to me, but I still couldn't place it. I didn't know what they wanted from me or who wanted something from me. In any case, I just wanted my peace and quiet, but I wasn't allowed it. The shaking grew a little stronger, the screams louder, but I didn't want to react. Who would have ever expected that your mother would see to it that you were buried? If I was so wrong about her, would I ever find out why she took this step? The shaking got stronger again and the screaming louder, now it was too loud for me, the shaking too strong, it was increasingly annoying me, so I opened my eyes to see who couldn't leave me alone.I saw two horrified golden eyes.“Moran? What the hell is going on? ”Were my first annoyed words, then he looked at me in amazement.“I wanted to ask you that, you cried in your sleep and kept asking wh
We rode through the forest for a while, I saw a few foxes, rabbits, deer, we even rode past wolves. Beautiful animals. With Moran, the forest is only half as scary, which may also be due to the fact that it was bright day and not night. I felt very comfortable in his arm, I barely felt the pain in my throat. After a while I even fell asleep in his arms, hugging him very closely, I dreamed of kissing him for the first time, telling him about my feelings, just having him to myself. I don't know how long I slept, but it was already dark again, so we rode through the whole day, but further ahead there is a light, no, a campfire.I slowly woke up when we got closer to the campfire and when we got there I also saw Odim and Sirez sitting around the fire and grilling a wild boar over the fire. Only now did I notice that I had eaten the last thing since yesterday morning; if I were alone, then I could have eaten the whole pig, the hunger was so great.When Odim saw us he said:
Why was my life going so bad? First everyone hates me, then I find people who like me and who want to help me, then I also meet dark elves, including a very nice one and then exactly this one killed me in his anger. I no longer feel anything, no sensations, such as feelings or physical nature, I am weightless and outlawed. I feel good here in this nothing, because it is dark so that nothing could be seen, but it wasn't cold either. It felt nice to be here where nothing could happen to you anymore.Somehow my consciousness still seems to persist, what would I give to see Moran now, but maybe it's better that way, because he wouldn't be able to see me, only my dead shell, which is now at his feet. But I would still be interested in whether he finally recognized me, even if it is too late. But something is in nowhere, I can't describe it, it's warm. I always thought that the dark nothing is cold and then you go into the warm light, because that's how it was always described. But
We sat in silence by the campfire for a long time until we lay down to sleep, tomorrow will be a long day because we still have to catch up with Odim and Sirez so we can ride on together. I suspected that I would wake up alone the next day, but then there was this trust that I couldn't explain to myself. Also this night passed me dreamlessly, but still something was different, I felt something warm and soft on my cheek, but could not assign it, so I had to open my eyes for better or worse to find out what it was.Then I saw two golden eyes and a charming smile.“Good morning, I hope you slept well? I would let you sleep longer, but we should leave. We won't catch up with Odim and my brother, but we shouldn't stay too long in one place, if the soldiers only gave us a hangover. I found a little stream over there, so you can freshen up a little. I'll pack up then so we can go when you're done. "Now a moment has come when I would love to give him the fatal bl
Great, the thunderstorm not only hit my insides, but also my whole body, but how do I explain that to him now. I can hardly tell him that I suspected I was in love with him. He went to his horse, took something out of one of the bags that hung on the saddle and brought it to me. It was black fur, he put it around my shoulders, I was touched, so he's worried about me, even if only a little. Somehow I had the feeling that I could trust him with everything, he was so kind-hearted, I couldn't believe that they wanted to kill him. He was a wonderful creature."What are you looking at me, is everything okay, why are you crying?"I cry? Now I feel a tear running down my cheek, can I believe it, there is actually someone who is worried about me, not just Amalia but Moran too. He wiped the tear from my cheek. At this moment I could be described as happy and sad at the same time, because I had to leave Amalia behind.Suddenly I felt a pressure on my shoulders, when I look
So I dismounted, which didn't look particularly graceful, as I had never sat on a horse and was therefore unable to dismount. He looked deep into my eyes, a few seconds longer and I would have lost myself in them."I can do without dragging you behind me, so you're just a block on our leg that we can't use."Great, I should have become a clairvoyant by profession, that means saying goodbye. I am allowed to move on by myself, that had to come to this.“So I'll teach you to ride in a hurry, show you a few tricks on how to defend yourself, should someone attack you and I am not there, and then we'll ride after them. Do you agree? "But now I've misheard, right? Is he only doing this because I saved his life? A simple thank you would have been enough, but it can't hurt, maybe I'll get to know him that way and he'll get a different opinion of me. If I'm lucky, he even likes me, but I'm not that lucky, because I've rarely been lucky, if not to say not at
