My story, chapter 5
Keota and Rio made their way through the forest once again, but this time it took about twenty minutes before they came to a small kingdom. As Rio and Keota came up to the wall, Rio saw a guard at the top of it.
“You people, what is your reason to enter?” the guard asked
“We are just passing through, we have no reason,” Keota replied.
After she said that, the drawbridge started to lower in front of them. They entered over the drawbridge and Rio was kind of freaked out because of course she has never been on a drawbridge.
“Why are we here,” Rio asked Keota.
“I believe we are here to just find a place to sleep and then head on in the morning,” Keota replied.
“Oh, I wanted to stay and check the place out,” Rio wished.
“But we mustn’t for we have a far more, greater place to be,” Keota said sternly.
“Like what?” Rio asked
But when Rio said this, Keota was already half way toward the entrance and did not answer. So Rio quickly caught up, she would not be left behind. They entered the small kingdom, Rio smelled something foul in the air and she saw that the houses were very poorly built, they were built with mud, some wood and hay. They followed the narrow path that obviously needed to be rebuilt.
“This is a kingdom, right?” Rio asked trying to ignore the smell.
“Yes, it is, but it is not run very well as you can see,” Keota replied
“Who is the king?”
“I do not know,”
“Well cant we find out?”
“We could but we don’t know what the king is like, he may kill us just for entering this kingdom, so we probably should not go looking for him,” Keota said.
“Good idea, the thought of being killed just for coming in here makes me queasy,” Rio said shuddering.
They followed the road (which was almost not even a road), until they came to a little market, Keota bought more food for the journey saying their most likely going to run out before they get there. This confused Rio because Keota had bought a lot of food, almost enough to feed her whole family for a week.
“We couldn’t take that long to get there, could we?”
They continued walking through the small kingdom, the clothes they wore, which was basically rags but still had a beautiful uniqueness to them intrigued Rio.
“Rio, quit staggering, your falling behind,” Keota said.
“I’m sorry but this place is amazing,” Rio said letting her voice drift off.
“If you want to see amazing wait till you see what I have in store for you, that is if you hurry along,” Keota said getting Rio to go faster.
“What could be better than this?” Rio thought knowing that there could be something better.
They started walking again curving this way and that; Rio would still be gazing at all of the sights there was to see on the road they were going on. She saw small almost completely not covered shops and houses, which were basically just mud for the walls and hay for the roof.
“Why is this place so poorly built?” Rio asked
“Well, some kingdoms are better than others,” Keota replied.
“Are we going to see better ones?” Rio asked curiously.
“Oh, yes marvelous ones, ones that are so beautiful that you have to stop and look at everything to take it all in, what I mean is there are gold banners hanging from every shop and every body is greatly dressed, they would go around in what would be poorer peoples finest clothing as their play clothes and the weather is marvelous as well. It would be perfect to grow crops all year around so they always have more than enough food and the streets would be extremely clean there would be no litter any where and the most of the time very happy.” Keota said.
“Wow,” Rio said with amazement in her eyes.
“Yes it is amazing, and we’re going to see a few on our… never mind,” Keota said suddenly.
“On our…what?” Rio asked curiously
“Oh, never mind, that’s not the point,” Keota said quickly.
“Tell me,” Rio argued
“You will find out soon enough,” Keota replied.
“Look there is an inn right there” Keota said pointing at a shabby looking place that seemed almost about to fall down. So Rio and Keota entered the inn.
