Ah...
It's that day.
The day of our first adventure.
The day I first met her.
The day was bright—one of those annoyingly perfect days where even the birds seemed to be chirping too cheerfully. The sun hung lazily in the sky, and there wasn't a cloud in sight. I squinted up at it, letting out an exaggerated sigh. My armor felt heavy, and the new sword at my hip was still uncomfortable, like it was itching to be drawn.
"Rey, come on! Move faster! You'll ruin the whole adventurer vibe if you keep dragging your feet like that!"
Alexander's voice called from ahead, a wide grin plastered on his face. He looked every bit like an eager kid on a field trip rather than the crown prince of an entire kingdom. His short blonde hair gleamed under the sun, and his sword was strapped to his back with all the excitement of someone who'd never had to actually use it in a fight for survival.
