The wagon is bumping and jolting along the worn road. We have been travelling for about twelve hours now. We passed through the last village five hours ago to get some more water in the well. The whole journey has been in silence. Except for me asking occasional questions.. This gave the time to think. Think about my current situation.
Like what is the outcome for my family and what could happen to them or what's my life as the Empress going to be like ? These are the thoughts that fill my head. Due to this I couldn't focus on my book. There is a cold wind coming from the mountains that made it too cold for sleep. Even though I was exhausted.
Hey?! Hey?! It was one of the men. I can't tell which one it is. Pardon? is my meek response. I was saying that we're stopping for the night. Here's a blanket try to get comfortable and some sleep. He tosses me a heavy sheepskin blanket. When will we there ? I call out . Tomorrow afternoons if everything works out he answers turning away. I drap the blanket around my shoulders and lean against the wall of the wagon. I can feel my eye lids closing before it all goes fades to black.
When I wake I feel the soft warmth of the sun upon my face. Then I smell something. The smell of something delicious cooking. I follow the mouth-watering smell and locate the source. It's a pot cooking over a small campfire. I feel a my stomach growl which reminds me that I haven't eaten since breakfast time yesterday. Hey, the first one calls me over. Here he says filling a bowl Have some. He offers it to me. I walk over and take it then I go take a seat next to them.
