How does a tale start? How does anyone even hear of these tales? Are they written or are they simply told? Why are they told? There are many ways for a tale to be told and heard. Stories are told for fun some are told for the history of our past to be remembered. A story say's and has hidden lesson behind it's words. Stories and tales are told to be enjoyed and loved. I enjoy and love them so much. I walk from place to place to hear stories and many tales, why? To write them down.

I have my reasons to write and hear stories. I have woken up at night, am at the Aarhas desert. In this desert it's better to travel at night then by day. By day it's as if I were walking on the sun surface, nothing can survive in this heat of death. At night the air is cool and water comes out of the earth to help those that live here, and are in need of water. Is a good thing that there are no vicious predators here they wouldn't survive here. It has been a week since I left the city of Sabala, and I still haven't reach a city or a town.

Am going in the direction were the sun is facing my back and my shadow is my guide, I was told this by the people of Sabala they also said I should be in the next city in about a week. It has been a week if I am not there by tomorrow then I'll be officially lost. I walk not fearing the night I know here the night is save. I collected enough water in my water container, thirst I do not fear. I hope to reach the city by morning if not I hope to find a shelter before day-break. It is as I said, I sleep at day and travel by night.

The night is quite quiet tonight I do hear a few bugs taken advantage of the fresh air before morning heat comes. I look up at the sky there are so many stars out tonight. I was told if I travel by night I most follow the star that shines bright blue. I look around and I let out a small smile I been going in the wrong direction. I been going north when I should be going east, the bright blue star shined bright on the east sky. I held out my silver compass, this silver compass has never let me down in finding my way back and to my destination. I leave the north and start heading towards the blue star to the east. If I am not there by tomorrow who knows when I'll get to the city of Esther.

Yes the city of Esther. The people of Sabala have told me thier neighbor city Esther is a peaceful city ruled by a good demon king. For years that city has been in peace for the past seventh generation and they know it will continue to be that way, since the king is a good demon king. Unlike the city of Sabala the city of Esther is a population of demons only. Humans are welcome there, but not accepted by the demon people. They told me if they notice am a human they will turn me down if I were to ask for food or supplies and most likely kill me. For that they gave me a potion that will give me the scent of a demon and with that I'll be able to walk through the city with no problems. They pray for my safety and for my safety once I enter the city.

I told them to not fear for it's not the first time I entered a land populated by demons only. The city of Sabala is populated by both demon and humans that co-existing with each other. Why in fact the two city's of Sabala and Esther never really cross paths with one another. Sabala is really a small city and would want to avoid war, but there quite glad to have a calm peaceful neighbors yet you never know? This is not the first time I have travel alone.

When I had turned twenty that was when I started to travel on my own, besides being the daughter of a merchant is a huge advantage in surviving the wilderness, and harsh environments. My family have been traveling merchants for the past forty generations, traveling far and wide even to the places unknown​ the road and land is our home. We never stayed in one place. Sadly I might be the one to end my fathers bloodline of merchants. I do have other family relative's that are merchants, but I was the only child my father ever had.

I was born when both of my parents were in their late 30ths and now father is old, to old to notice me. I hope father remembers he has a daughter, I wonder if he's thinking about me? Its been four years since I last saw him. I know my other family members are taking good care of him. Still I hope I did well in leaving him behind? Not a day goes by that I always wonder of my father, I did leave home for myself, but also for him.

It will be morning soon it means the end of today's night travel, I stop and build a fire. I most prepare myself to sleep it seems I won't make it to the city of Esther before morning. I have at least one hour before the sun raises and that is a good amount of time to prepare for sleep and time to write for a bit. I take out a scroll, a pen, ink and start writing for a bit while snacking on a apple. Its always bad to eat a apple in the desert since it can make one very thirsty, but am in luck since I have a good amount of water I'll survive thirst. I continue to write the story I had in mind, but I stop when I notice light casting in the shadow, my shadow. It means time to put my stuff away,sun is raising.

I put down my scroll I always put away my scrolls and my paper materials last, I start putting the ink and pens in my bag, I quickly glance up. I keep glancing up for I am not sure if I am just seeing things or there's something out there in the distance? I stop and pay close attention to what it could be ?That I see in the distance? I see bright light's shinning they are the rays of the sun. As the sun rose higher into the blue sky it reviled a city. I let out a small laugh, I am here I made it to the city of Esther.

It wasn't a long walk to reach the city. Before I entered the city I keep watch to see if this place was indeed a city filled​ with nothing, but demons. It was, I quickly drank the potion that was given to me I cover my face with a yellow scarf and I enter the city. I speak to no one my first destination is to find a place were I can buy supplies then hopefully they have a library here.

I do plan on staying here for at least a week then I'll be on my way to the next city or town. There are many types of demon species here some I recognize and some I don't, I better take a note of that. In my travels I write down notes of things I need or what I most know of demons it helps in future encounters.

I finally made it to the market place. It was in the center of the city and is the place with the most crowded people. I look around and check making sure if one of the stands has items that I need. Not long enough I notice a stand with items I need. I approach and I see the owner of the stand ; he was a demon who's face was covered, but he's eye's were not covered in the wraps of bandages and threads, he's whole body is covered in bandages too. He covered himself with a red robe only, and lose strands of he's dark hair are coming out of the bandages from on top of he's head. He looks up at me one's I am right in front of he's stand.

"What yeah need miss?", he said he's voice sounded crooked​.

"I need one pound of Savila Aloe if you have raspberry flavor that will be great, and I need at least ten strands of the Aloe plant itself. I'll also be needing a jar of coconut milk..", in the end I ended up asking for to much, but the owner didn't seem to mind. He keep writing down prices in he's small note pad and put items in bags.

" Will that be all miss? If not I got some other items even rare items that my interest yeah", he said still putting items in one bag.

"That will be all, but thank you how much is it", I asked taken out my bag of coins and jewelries. It is very important to carry different kind of money around for one city payment will be coins another place can ask for gold or silver as payment.

"That will be 199 gin, if you please", he said

I looked for 199 gin in my small bag.
"Sir I have only 191 gin, but I'll shall give you that along with two white pearls as payment for the item's", I said as I handed him a bag that I placed the 191 gin and the two white pearls.

He doesn't say anything, but quickly counts the coins and looks at the two pearls he looks satisfied.

"I'll accept that price", he said handing me my bag of items.

I put the bag slowly in my wonder bag, the wonder bag isn't really its name, but as a child I always called it that. This bag allows me to have and put many items in it allowing the bag to be light as a feather.

"Do tell me sir is there a library here?"

"Why yes miss is right next to the palace, just keep going straight ahead and it will take you to the palace"

One's he was done speaking I hear screams from the distance, but I don't look I don't want to draw to much attention to myself.

"Thank you", I replied
He lets out a small laugh,"Come back anytime"

Right when he says that the screaming got louder and seem to get closer to the market place. When I look straight to the direction the seller told me the library will be at I see someone running and being chased. It could be a fight, but it looks like the person come from the palace. The strange demon had he's whole body cover in a black robe none could see he's face. I for once was wondering what was going on? My eye's widen when I realise that the demon was running at my direction.

"MISS!?", I hear the seller say, but at that moment the demon had run right towards me and collided on me that he made us crash into the sellers stand and made all of the items fall all over us.

I start to cough for powder and unknown dust items were all over me, water splashed all over me as well. The demon that crashed into me didn't help me get up, he got up and took of running. I was still coughing that I didn't notice my scarf had fallen from face.

When my coughing was gone I took in a deep breath, I look up I see demons looking at me. The demons from the market and the soldiers that were chasing the demon from before had stop to stare at me. I didn't understand why were they all looking at me?

"Miss!?", the demon who sold me my items approached me and help me up to my feet.

"Thank you", I said.

He nodded he's head and started to pick up he's items that were still intact and well. I started to help him in picking up some of the items. That's when I see on the ground a empty bottle of purification water. If one is using a spell or a potion the purification water can make what ever effect it had wear off. I then remembered​ that water that had splashed all over me when I crashed into the demons stand. That's when I knew they didn't smell a demon they smelled a human girl.
