Lyn sat on a small boulder near the side of the road. She was eating a piece of fruit she’d gotten at the last town she’d passed through. Her hair and clothes were slightly damp from the rain shower she’d ridden through earlier that morning. The sky overhead was still gray and cloudy, but she didn’t think it would rain again soon. At least, she really hoped it wouldn’t. Rain only made her traveling slow, which made her destination ever farther away.
All around her, there was an enormous field with flocks of koala sheep meandering around in the grass. Behind her was her ostrich horse. He had been the reason she’d made it this far in such a short time. She felt like she’d have given up if she’d had to walk all this way. He had been a wise purchase, though a last minute one as she’d only decided to buy him just before she left the city. Now she looked behind him and saw that he was sleeping. This slightly annoyed Lyn. She’d been intending this to be a short stop, just long enough to stretch her legs and eat a quick bite. Evidently, the ostrich horse had other plans.
She could wake him up. However, a quick glance to the west showed the barest hint of the sun between the clouds. It would be full dark in a few more hours. How far could she travel in that time? Maybe another mile or two? That would hardly be worth it. She should just start setting up camp now. It’d take her an hour to get everything set up anyways. Slowly, she stood up and walked over to the snoozing ostrich horse, taking off the beast’s burdens.
True to her word, it did take her around an hour to set up her camp. The setting around her had changed to include a small tent and a fire. Now Lyn sat next to the fire, fanning the flames lightly with a fan. The fire had seemed to take forever to get going. There had been hardly any wood in the area, so she’d had to gather bits of kola sheep dung to fuel the flames. Lucily, she’d managed to find a stream and had thoroughly washed her hands after the collection. Now she simply sat there, fanning the flames with one hand and eating yet another piece of fruit with the other.
