"Wow, and I thought I had it rough….well, at the very least were in the same boat” he asserted.

"Yea, your right" I answered, robbing my finger against my ring.

“Oh, that’s right; I forgot to ask for your name" he asked. wearing an obvious smile.

“It’s Charles and you" i replied.

He pointed his index finger to his face “It’s William"

The room was a small compact place, it looked as though it was built without proper planning, a little stool was placed at the corner of the room facing the door, and a mini table was placed at the center,

“That’s right, how were you able to make such amount of money in such a short time?" he asked with a sudden kin interest,

It was at that moment I realized; he was an insanely curious person.

"Well, I did tell you about the ring I was given"

"Yea, you did" he replied looking excited,

"Apparently it was a spatial ring; it contained a lot of gold coins and also a strange sword"

“strange, and what do you mean by that"

"Well, for some reason I can’t seem to pull the sword out from its scabbard" I replied.

"Wow, isn’t that strange" he mumbled.

"Why don’t we go buy some equipment" I told him as I stood up.

"I already told you, I don’t have money"

"Don’t worry about that, I will lend you some money, you can just pay back later"

"Really!"

“Yea"

"Thanks! You’re a life saver"

We quickly went back to the apartment to rest in preparation for the next day,

The next day we immediately got ready and went straight for the palace, on reaching there, we meet a huge number of people who had already gotten there before us, as we waited, the king and the prince who was meant to also embark on the journey came out of the palace.

“Now that we are all here, we shall head for the forest" the king said, we all went with the king to the forest, as we reached the entrance, the

king turned around and said

"This is where I leave you all, I wish you a safe journey and remember this, this is a battle, do not hesitate to fight"
