Chapter Four The Caravan The next morning Alora and I left in a caravan that consisted of 2 camels with containers straped to their sides which would be used to hold water when the waterline stopped. There were also two horses which we would leave in Calin, they last village before we reached the Gebbi desert that would pull Alora and me in a coach till we reached the desert. From there we would travel on the camels till we reached Laudi, the city where the waterline stopped. There we would fill the containers on the camels side with water and collect 4 days worth of food for our final leg od the trip to Mytron. We sat there in the coach. It was nicely decorated, again with lots of silk and soft pillows at the bottom. A young man named Hegrad drove the coach while the camels where put on leads that were attached the back of the coach. Hegrad also made sure we were comfortable. He got us some fifty year old wine red wine and fresh baked bread. Alora looked calm and sat there looking at me. I was bored and would have killed to have my guitar. Boy woud I have something to write a song about. In a different world Full of different things An alien to them all Trying to win a hopeless war Well maybe not, but it would be at least something to do. The way Alora keeps staring at me its actually scaring me. "Um, Alora, why do you keep staring at me?" "Sorry. it's just you look really familiar." "Well I can asuure you, before yesterday I have never seen you before" "I know, maybe it's just that I haven't gotton much sleep in the past few days." "You really need to sleep." "I know, but when I every I close my eyes I see Raibith screaming and hear that." "Close your eyes." "Okay I'm closing them" "Now I'm going to sing to you." "Sing to me?" "Yes, I'm going to sing to you." "Alright." "Rest my child and peace attend they, all through the night." As I started to sing the old British song she began to breathe softly. with in a few minutes I was sure she was asleep and I stopped signing. I guess the most interesting thing to do is sleep so again I drifted off. I hadn't had this much sleep per day since I got the flu when I was in seventh grade.
