The Son of Rockwell

Chapter 21: A short stay

Vyker cleared his throat, “So we all know that we have lost our town…obviously.” Tim rolled his eyes then continued to watch Vyker as he continued, “Well I know a small town near here. I have made a few trips there along with some companions. Anyway Amanda?”. Amanda tossed the metal ball they had found i the ruins. It stopped a suddenly a cyan light shown from it. The light turned it to a map of the island that they were on. Amanda pointed to an orange dot blinking on the right side of the island, “This is where we are. Over here is the settlement that we’re going for.” She pointed to a small house symbol near the dot. The map read 2.7 miles away. Thrasher tried to bite the dot and missed. Bruce chuckled. Amanda tried to keep a straight face as she sat back down. Vyker showed no signs of amusement as he started to talk again, “Thank you Amanda. Now we only have a few animals and supplies. When we get to this town we will restock and refresh ourselves before heading out for the next cave system.” ‘Gee does he ever shut up?’ Thrasher asked scratching his head with his talon. Thrasher! Don’t say that! He knows what he’s doing and will help us get food’

Bruce responded. The baby raptor perked up, ‘Like mutton?!’ ‘Yes…’ Bruce wasn’t sure what to say about this whole situation. He had a feelings that going to this town might not be a good idea but he would do anything to sleep on a feathered mattress again. “Ok troop let’s go!” Vyker suddenly said. Bruce hoped he didn’t miss anything important. Hades walked over to Bruce. He squawked and pecked at his empty hand. Tim smiled, “I think that dodo has good idea. Lets good eat something. I’m starving!” Vyker nodded, “Sure we’ll eat then get going.”

“We’re here!” Tim shouted. Vyker scowled at him and Tim grinned back. Amanda rolled her eyes for the tenth time and walked into town. “Well” Vyker said, “welcome to Lendton.” Bruce smiled “Nice name.” He hopped off his sacro, named Sweet dreams, and dropped Hades onto the ground. Lendton was a small town like Vyker said but it was homie and gave a feel of warmth and comfort. Unlike The City, this town was made for wood helping it give a pioneer atmosphere. Amanda walked over to someone and ask a question. They responded in a language Bruce wasn’t familiar with. Amanda thanked the stranger and hurried back to them. “There’s an inn near here, it’s just down the road.” Bruce sighed in relief, “Oh thank goodness. It feels like my legs are going to fall off.” Tim nodded “I agree let’s get to the inn before I pass out from exhaustion.” They’d just got to the in when something caught Bruce’s eye. It was a wanted poster. Bruce let out a sharp whistle. The bounty was over a million dollars. ‘Whatever that guy’s done he’s in a lot of trouble.’ Bruce thought. He was going to take a better look at the poster when Thrasher nipped his ankle. ‘Come human! There’s lots of mutton in the big house!’ Thrasher let out a happy squeak and ran into the inn. Bruce laughed and followed Thrasher inside, Hades right on his heel. After dinner and asking where to park Sweet Dreams, Bruce when up to his room they had rented out. He sat on the comfy bed. It was a bit hard but it was very comfortable. Before Bruce knew what he was doing he fell asleep in broad daylight.

(Fun fact: Sweet Dreams is what I named my sacro in ASE. She is very useful and helps me get pearls faster. Anyway hope you like this chapter and have a great day!)
