A world tainted in Crimson. Thats the first thing I saw with my barely conscious Mind.
A world tainted in green just like the envy I felt of not having more of them
One of the first things I thought after being born was how wonderful they looked. I wanted to know more about it. A thing like Glass though Endless times more beautifull than that.
For most people they were just tools, something to achieve their goals, A weapon, A shield or something regular like a heat source for their furnace.
After I could barely Speak one of the first things I asked was what those were , those beautiful coloured rocks, As transparent as Glass and as colorful as the scenery outside of the Window, those were gems.
What she said rings till this day in my mind " My dear those are gems, means for power and protection and as beautifull as the paintings in the kings collection, Each of them with unique aspects" She pointed at the furnace " See the red ones in their, they make it so warm in here"
Even at this young age i knew what i wanted to do, I mean I kinda knew what i wanted to do, I didnt care what I will do later as long as i can be near them, near those interesting things.
So i studied till this day, I learned everything I could learn in our small village about gems, I learned for ten years and still I only scraped the topic about gems.
And on this day I can finally start my Way of the Gems. Now I have a clear goal in my mind, Get to the largest city in my vicinity and go start it, Start my life as a Gemsmith.
The journey would take a month with only a few villages on my way, So it willl be harsh but i know that and i prepared for that .
After I said my goodbyes to everyone with my mom tearing up, It was time, Time to set a foot and go.
The first few hours flew bye because of all the new and exiting things to see but after a while it became repetative, because i was just wandering through a green landscape with the sky coverd by the trees
5 Hours after my leave I made my self dinner, It was some bread that I took with me, I only took the essentials with me so I could buy some more in the next village. After I finished my meal I kept walking till the sun began to set, I made a camp to rest for the night.
The Night felt empty, It wasnt as noisy as in the village, the only thing that fell into my ears were the occasional howl from a wolf.
The first time I heard a howl my heart dropped . But i calmed my self and after that i became accustom to the howls.
When the Night vanished and My sleep disturbed by the crimson horizon set upon me by the sun I made Breakfast, It was bread again. After finishing my breakfast and making my self ready I went back to walking.
This was my cycle for the next few days
5 Days later i saw it, A house in the distant. While I am seeing this i think to my self ´Finally I reached the first village`
