This map is all wrong.

 

How long ago had this worn piece of paper been written? ten years? twenty? by the divines it would have been easier to pick a direction and just walk. A sigh quickly escaped the young man holding the paper. rubbing the back of his head with an armored hand catching a bit of hair in between the plates only adding to his irritation. 

would he ever get used to the heavy plate? perhaps not, after all most knights had started wearing the stuff before they could reach the top of a chocobo. Yet somehow he had found himself in his own set. the suit had seen better days, causing more creaks and groans then an old man trying to run a marathon. all the same it fit, and more importantly it was his. 

 

bringing his hand down to look at the weathered red armor his lips curled into a little smile. he owned it...owned something. the same with the sword on his side and the shield on his back. both hand-me-downs from the monastery but unlike the usual clothing on his back or the books he had borrowed he had worked for these items. blood and sweat...well maybe not so much blood, but perhaps his weight in the salty liquid had earned him the right to call this gear his own and that meant more to him then the shiniest of mythril. 

 

shaking himself out of his little stupor his eyes roamed the town. new grindia? granada? the name was almost illegible, but at least it wasn't too hot here. going from the frigid air of coerthas to the temperate.....gri- well this place was a task in itself. he had never left the wonderful snow lands, even now he was homesick. despite it being the first real taste of freedom from the monastery. to see things only ever seen in dusty tomes..he had the faint feeling of anxiety...as if home was too far away to ever return to. 

 

once more he shook himself, thoughts like that would get him nowhere, nor would standing around looking a fool. with a few creaks that could wake the dead he walked into town, hoping he could find someone to read the map...or more importantly, someone to call a friend.
