as he remembered them.
He never thought that this is how he would find out about his destiny. He thought his destiny is to take care of his uncle’s properties. That would have been much better, he thought. He didn’t even know what these men were talking about.
“What if I don’t want to go?” Aaron asked dejected.
“Then, you will be putting your family and your village in danger” Said Dan.
“Where will we go?” Aaron asked finally.
“To Arktor, but before that, we will make another stop” said Dan.
Aaron didn’t ask anything more. He couldn’t think clearly. Flynn was missing because of him. He was aware of the danger that lurked in the village. He knew he had to go. He didn’t want the innocent villagers to suffer because of him.
A part of him wanted to go and see the world outside but he didn’t know that this is how he would be leaving.
“What about Brandon? Can he come with us?” Aaron asked Dan.
“No, until the first born is alive, the other siblings do not join the council” Dan said calmly.
“But what if they harm uncle or Brandon while I am gone?”
“The wolves are after you and not anybody else” said Dan.
Aaron thought for a moment and asked “What should I do now?”
“Pack whatever you need for the journey. Take enough warm clothes and a blanket. The journey is going to be long and hard” said Dan.
Aaron had stayed in the village all his life. He had never gone out of Brinsar, neither did he have any experience of packing for a long journey. Now that he was getting pulled out of his comfortable house, he didn’t know where to begin.
Reluctantly, he got up and pulled out a big cloth sack from under his bed. He dusted it and started to look around for things he wanted to take with him.
Dan was on a continuous watch at the window. He made a small opening through the curtains and looked outside. Ony was watching Aaron’s every movement, it made Aaron uncomfortable.
“Why don’t you take a few more shirts? After all, we are going on such a fun trip” Ony taunted Aaron as he was trying to shove a large number of shirts into his bag.
Aaron flared his nostrils and stopped packing more shirts.
“What about this jacket? Oh, there is a good pair of socks there” Ony kept bothering Aaron as he tried to pack the rest of the stuff.
“I think it will be better if you wait outside till I am done packing” Aaron finally said annoyed.
“Hmm, my tummy is grumbling. I need some food inside it, is there anything to eat?” Ony asked looking around the room.
“There is plenty. Just go to the kitchen downstairs!” Aaron was more than happy to get rid of him. Dan and Ony went downstairs and finally Aaron had some time to think for himself.
He was not ready to leave but he had to. He thought ‘ It is all part of my destiny . As Mathew said, if I don’t take this chance, I will regret it all my life’
He put a few books along with the book Mathew gave him inside his bag. He had a great loss as his best friend was gone now. Aaron wished that the village and his family would be safer after he left.
He packed everything he thought he needed for the journey, including his leather pouch to carry water.
He was happy that he would know more about his parents now. He would be a part of something big. But he didn’t know what his future would be, anymore.
He could finally go on those adventures he always dreamt about, like the stories he read. But if he hadn’t seen with his own eyes what he was up against, he would have been much happier. Now he knew that real life was not like in the story books.
He soon joined the rest of the party for dinner. He enjoyed the big meal of pork chops and chicken stew with bread and red wine. For desert, everyone got freshly baked cheery pies. Sentas spoke to the guests merrily and asked them about their quests. Brandon listened with great interest and had his dinner quietly without making any fuss. Even Mrs. Renn was lost in their
