Charting The Course

Smiling Vinncent arose from his chair "Well thank you Hugh I think that aught to suffice for what I need to know." "No thank you for coming to ask instead of just wandering off. Best of luck to you Vinncent and may you succeed in your bringing of vengeance." As Hugh waved him off Vinncent unlocked the door and went out into the hallway while also making sure to close the door behind him. Retracing his steps to the office, Vinncent quickly found his way to the main lobby.

"So how did it go?" Asked the man at the desk "Not bad I just needed to see the kingdom map to determine where I should go to find work." "So if you don't mind me asking, where are you off to?" "I am heading off to Heustead, Hopefully I can find a job there." "You should be fine, you're an architect right? So I'm sure there is some type of construction going on there. After all the capital is rather large." Said the man "Although you should really get going if you plan on going to Heustead." "Yeah I plan on leaving tomorrow at the latest. So that hopefully I can get there while the sun is still in the sky." Vinncent said while opening the main door. Waving him off the man said "best of luck to you sir and may you stay safe on your travel." Smiling Vinncent quickly waved back and closed the door.

As Vinncent looked around to try and ascertain which direction was north he noticed Samantha approaching him in a different dress than the night prior. She had also bathed as made evident by her damp hair which shimmered in the midday sun. "Hello Vinncent, you look a little lost." Samantha smiled "Yes I am. I'm wondering which direction to go to head north?" "Are you already leaving?" Samantha asked "No I'm not leaving yet I was just wondering which direction I need to go for tomorrow to start heading toward Heustead." "Got you, so in regards to which direction north is, have you ever heard of the trick with the sun?" Yes I have, however I can never remember which is east and which is west." Vinncent lied "The way my father taught me was the sun rises like yeast (east) and ends at it's nest (west)." "Well thank you for your reteaching. I will retire for the day then. I have much to plan for my journey to Heaustead and need to find out what I need to pack." Vinncent said "Well, I will let you go then and get ready for your trip." Samantha smiled as she walked away.

Turning around Vinncent began to walk back toward the guest house. While walking Vinncent suddenly had a bitter taste in his mouth that slowly dissipated over time. Thinking nothing of it he arrived at the guest house and began planning his trip to Heustead as he walked inside.

Seeing as he was in a medieval world it was likely that he would encounter bandits and common thieves. There was also the small chance that he might encounter a magical beast and any other bizarre occurrence. He doubted that he would need that much food and water or even rest due to him being an angel. Deciding it for the best, Vinncent decided that it was for his best interest to turn in early no matter if him being an angel meant he could go without sleep.

A well rested mind is the greatest weapon a man can have and Vinncent wanted to be ready for whatever challenges tomorrow brought. Walking toward the bed Vinncent stripped down to his undergarments and got into it before closing his eyes and drifting to sleep.
