"I'll buy something to eat. We will need a backpack or two. Maybe I should buy..."

"I understand." I interrupted Morgana who was telling me what she wants to buy. 

We were standing near the entrance of the inn. After talking for a while we decided to go on an adventure to find someone who can help me, and maybe even have a good time. Maybe.

"You know where you need to go? You won't get lost? Maybe I should go with you?" she said with a worried expression. 

"Are you mocking me? I'm not a little child!" 

"Of course you are not. Do you have money with you? They won't sell you any clothes if you don't have any mon..."

"Just go!" I said and she just smilled. 

After that she went in the direction of the centre of city. I waited for a little and when I couldn't see her anymore I went in the opposite way.

Jerven is a beautiful city. Houses are painted in various colours, and each one of them looks different. Walking down the street you could see people working, having fun or just talking. Some of them were looking at me but I tried not to worry about it. 

When I was still my old 70 years self I sometimes visited this city to buy some things or just to play poker. I had great time here even if they called me mad. When you become old you stop caring about things like this. At least you try. 

After about ten minutes of walking I was in the middle of the way. I was a little tired but my body was still more energetic than it was before. 

"What are you doing here alone?" I heard man's voice behind me. 

When I turned around I saw a big white armour. Well, just a chestplate. When I looked up I saw a smilling man. He had short black hair and now he was looking at me. 

"Oh! It's you!" I said and he blushed awkwardly.

"You can call me Arthur. More importantly you shouldn't just walk here alone. There are all kinds of people in this world, and not all of them are nice." he said and held out his hand.

Was I supopsed to grab it? Is it something normal for two men to do? 

"Y-You don't want to walk with me?" he said sadly. 

Well if you put it in that way. 

Shortly after we were walking hand in hand. When I was praying for it to end he started talking. 

"What do you need from that kind of shop? Do you want to go on an adventure?" Arthur asked me. He was escorting me to the shop that was selling stuff for travelers, and he seemed surprised that I want to go there. 

"Yeah, something like that." I replied. 

"Hmmm.... You don't normally see beautiful girls wanting to live a life like this." 

Beautiful girls? What are you talking about? 

"By the way where is your friend? Couldn't she go with you?"

"Morgana had something to do." I replied and he looked like he was wondering about something. 

After some time we were near the shop. It had a big sign with a sword at it. Through the window you could see all kinds of things, but mostly they were selling weapons and clothes. 

"Why do you want to travel?" Arthur asked me while still holding my hand. 

"Is it your hobby? Asking questions?" I said slightly irritated. I just wanted to go inside and I didn't saw the need to answer him. Why was he asking all this questions anyway?

"I just want to know more about you."

Is he an idiot? He must be. But it will be better to just answer him now, and have him leave me alone. But what can I tell him? "I want to become an old man" doesn't sound good. What did I wanted to do before I became like this? Was there something I really wanted to do before I made this unlucky spell? Something I wanted to do.

"I want to see a giant." I said and he started laughing. 

"W-What!?" I asked but the only answer I got was his laugh. After some time he calmed down and looked at me. 

"You really are great." Arthur said and smilled. 

"I don't understand." 

"You don't need to. Go inside. I will wait for you." he said and leaned against the building. 

"There's no need, I'll be fine." I said but he wouldn't listen, and I didn't really wanted to argue with him. 

After that I went inside hoping that he will just go away. The shop was big and had a lot of things to sell. It had a lot of shelves filled with swords, armours and different kinds of stuff. When I looked around I saw what I wanted to buy. Traveler's clothes. There was only one problem. Everything was covered in dust and looked really old.

People don't want to travel anymore?

When I was thinking about it I saw a girl leaning from under under the counter. She had a short, red hair and freckles all over her face. But their was something that caught my attention about her. She wasn't human. 

"How can I help you?" she said while waving her tail.
