Anastasia→ I pack my bags, quickly not really paying attention. I make sure I have my bow and arrows and clamber down the creaking wooden steps. "Leaving so soon miss?" the inkeeper asks me. I nod curtly and set a handful of rare gold coins on the counter. "Thank you." I say quitley. He stares at the coins, mouth ajar and eyes as big as meat platters. "R-real gold?" He stammers glancing up at me. He brings the coins closer up to his face and his eyes get so wide that I fear they might actually pop our of his sockets and roll off the counter and on to the dirty tiled floor. "Is that elvish writing?" He gasps looking up at me. I manage a dry half a smile and turn away, his eyes glued to my retreating back. I mount Dawson and go to find Cowen and Kai. I see them a distance away and spur Dawson into a gallop, I reach them and unmount walking over to the both of them. As I draw near I watch while Kai slaps Cowen and then hugs him, humans have interesting ways of showing affection.

“Courage is not the absence of fear but the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. For now you are traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be.❞

Bravery is one of the most important things to me. It has been for quite a long time now. I always believed that if people were not brave then nothing would be done to make the world the place that it is. Think about that for a nanosecond. Courage and bravery are what shaped the society. If people had not been brave enough to step out on a limb, then we would have no heroes. No police men. No firefighters. No soldiers. Nothing. We would be a world without hope. And when there is nothing to hope for then what is there? So be brave. Please, please, please, don't tuck yourself away in a dusty cob-webbed corner and sit on a three-legged stool staring out your window and fantasizing about the things you could do. Do them. Be courageous, be bold, be brave.
