Winter 512 AV day 11
Keira walked out of her tent after a well rested and satisfying night sequential to her arrival. She had brushed her long hair and dressed in her simple clothing appearing to be fresh and healthy. She had eaten a small meal from her provisions and prior to sleeping she had applied for a job. The 14 year old female was 5'5 with hazel eyes and a slightly tan complexion. Many people would describe her as beautiful. She was ready to get acquainted with the city she had arrived in and began to hesitantly walk away from her tent and into the city.
Her surroundings were new, but nothing really surprised her about Zeltiva yet, aside from the large university with its many students. The people seemed happy enough for any normal day, and moderately busy. Her first thoughts were about her instructor's words before he sent her off; "she would gain experience and adventure from her trip." She was uncertain about how she would make that possible, but that was the last thing she was concerned about at that moment.
She shifted her glance the mountains and the natural setting it was depicting, and decided to visit the area to just to relax and rid herself of some of the other worries sprouting from her head. She took a deep breath, sighed deeply, and picked up her walking pace, confidently heading to her desired location. It wasn't that she didn't like the city; it was more than she was hoping for. She was just unsure about herself, her ability to get stronger, even her ability to survive on her own dependency. She was a bit young to be on her own, but she didn't have a choice, she had nothing to go back to.
She thought about these things fiercely, and it showed because she displayed a somewhat worried expression on her face as she walked out of the city alone, -to her knowledge she was alone- heading to the mountains.
She continued to walk until she reached the area she had just recently come to Zeltiva from. The mountains were rocky and hard near the pass, and she ventured in the opposite direction, finding herself in a more stable terrain with some soil and a few pine trees, scattered apart like dots of paint on a canvas. Keira walked a bit more slowly now, taking in her surroundings and enjoying the peace of mind. She could think now, but it would be much easier and calmer for her think here.
Thinking, It could sometimes be a chore. She wondered what would become of people if they could choose when to think; she then realized there was a slight problem with that. If they couldn't think, how could they decide to start thinking again? She then thought about a timer as to how long they could not think before people started thinking, but then grew tired of the subject and thought about what she would do next after this.
As she pondered about those things her thoughts kept driving back to a question: what was her purpose and what could she amount to? Perhaps this was because her father had always told her, "being constructive is how you will make it in life!" as she imagined the lecture her father had given her long ago, her expression changed to a pained one and she sat down in some grass under one of the pine trees, burying her head in her hands.
"It's times like these that I wish I had been given a better life," she muttered, a gloomy dismal feeling occupying her for a moment.
