   The Journey of Vinedia: Story Time Pt 2
Since Shadowlight ask for more, I could not ignore such request.. so here goes the second part...

"War?...was is a war" Vinedia looks confused.(I gonna call her Vinedia from this part because most of the people will call her by this name throughout the story..)
And so, the royal seer told her everything about war.(well, not everything but enough to know what a war is..^_^)

Vinedia seems to be disturbed about war and that keeps her quiet for a few days. Ok, now I will tell a little bit about the army of Elvennia while the Queen is not active for a while. Actually Elvennia have no such thing as an army. They have only guards guarding the castle but they are only equipped with long stick. In other words the civilization of Elvennia is way behind other countries.

Well the reason would be the country is too peaceful that there is no need for weapons and Elvennia Kingdom does not have communication with other civilization..heck, even other civilization does not known the existence of Elvennia. So that's the reason why the Elvennia civilization does not have development.

Ok now lets go back to the queen.(Running back to the castle...).

Vinedia still keep silence until one day when she was walking on the peasant's farm, she saw a person wearing metal riding on a creature (which is a horse but Vinedia does not know of a horse.. ~_^ lol!). The man does not realize the presence of Vinedia as he was standing on a hill and Vinedia is watching from below. After watching the surrounding for a while the man rode his horse and ride away from his location. The direction he went is to the north....

Vinedia who was surprised at the encounter suddenly remembered her dreams. "The north.. light from the north, the dream might be true.." quickly she run back to her castle and atart to think of a plan which she did not tell to her ministers.

The next morning, Vinedia annouced to her minister that she is going on a journey,(As usual the minister got into chaos and says thing "What are you thinking?!" or something like that). Eventually the minister all agreed because Vinedia seems very determined to go out and there is no use of stopping her.

So they prepared some homemade food for Vinedia to take on her journey. Wearing normal dresses and riding a cow (yes a cow, they don't even know what a horse is) she went to the north. By the time she leaves the castle, her age was 14.

(My favourite part)
Well, on the way to the north, she passed a small farm a little outside the Elvennia territory she met this very annoying old farmer. He laughs at the sight of her riding the cow and give unpolite remarks such "Pretty is the one yet pity the mind is broken, pity, pity.."
So what did Vinedia do? Politely she ask for directions and ride on to the north..

After travelling for 2 and a half day she finally arrived at a beach. "Nothing here except water.. so many water it seems endless. How, where.. the metal man come from? there is nothing here.!?!?!. Now she's starting to get confused. She even starts to think that her journey was useless and how stupid she feel.

"The metal man , I was just my imagination, how stu.."
"This is the sea dear."
Suddenly a voice came from the sea. Vinedia try loking but found no one.
"come here.. a little bit closer to the water."
Wanting to know the source of the voice Vinedia walk to the beach until her feet are touched by the waves. Then she asked who was talking to her.

"My dear, I am the sea.. where all of life started and I know where the person you are looking for have gone."
A talking sea huh..err..back to the story
From the sea Vinedia learned about how man travels with the means of ships and boats. And the sea offered to help her to cross until she reached the north continent by providing a ship which rose from beneath the sea. Vinedia was so happy and thanked the sea.

"My dear, I don't just talk to anybody I meet you know.. I, the sea have found that you are an interesting person and so I offer myself to be part of you."
"A part of me?"
After Vinedia finished her sentence a small light came out from the sea slowly flying and entered into Vinedia's chest.

"And one more thing dear.."
"Yes?"
"Leave that cow behind."

And so the Vinedia continue her journey to the North continent and will be facing new challenges and the greatest experience of her life.... without the cow.^_^.

Aww.. I think I continue this story next time. Never expect it to getting longer. Ok bye for now! Run away, tripeed and fell...asleep.!
