30 minutes and an excruciating walk later I'm finally in Polperro city. I have to admit that I didn't catch that many weird gazes while travelling. So I guess this should be a good omen. I mean there are a lot of weirdos in the world , you can always expect at least one to be in a hundred meter radius. What are the chances that I am at a place in the world with fewer weirdos than normal. I guess 100% . Just me and my books…. Me and my 13 books… that I’ve been carrying for over 30 minutes…fuuuuck, its me I’m the weirdo.
After another 15 minutes of quiet self reflecting I could finally see the tattered walls of the city. Polperro is a long standing fortress later turned city. It’s circular perimeter is adorned with 15 meter tall walls and 3 gates.(Gate of pride , Gate of envy and last but not least Gate of wrath). Furthermore the city in itself has a multitude of different dividers. The innards of the city are divided into “king’s way” or as it is more well known the “ hyenas’ den” (home to all the respectable scumbags and their wares) , the “commonground” (which houses the brunt of the Labor force of the city), the “territory” (home to the ruling classes and the administrative Palace ) and lastly the “plains” (one of the most prosperous agricultural districts in the whole of the Skeal province).
Stolen novel; please report.
As I was making my way through the gate of pride (which connects the outside world to King’s way) I catch a glimpse of the Palace. It’s pristine white exterior serving as a stark contrast to the tattered walls surrounding it. The plethora of walls in this city already gave me a head ache, its almost as if they expect a fucking army to suddenly pop into existence right outside the door. Or perhaps the governor REALLY likes solitude. “ok let’s see” I say as I grab out of my pocket a map of the area. Well with map I mean crude pamphlet. “Wolly’s curiosities, Wolly’s curiosities… Ah here it is!” I muffled under my breath whilst getting some weird looks from passers-by. You know after some months of solitude I missed even this. ….I depressed my self….ANYWAY!
I walk a few blocks until finally bumping into a wall. That’s weird there shouldn’t be any buildings on the road … I glance behind my stack of books and find that the wall was in fact a person. Upon taking a closer look there are way too many people however do not fret for I have seen the sign “Wolly’s Oddities” it says…. Wait there is something more “potion sale. -20%”. “Fuck yeaaaaaa….” I trail off as I notice that all those people from before where standing in a peculiar formation. Oh no it can’t be! But yes it is indeed. It’s a mother fucking queue.
