Part III A Farm
Merle, Princess Keari, Maemi, and Ryo met a slope. Just below the hill were plains and flat prairies, great for farming.
“Nice herd you’ve got there,” Merle nodded in the babaas’ direction. (I'm unsure about the apostraphe in babaas' - you're probably right, but i really don't know.) “Well, I’m from the castle because I’m a princess…well, I don’t want to be one anymore, but one day I will return home.”

“What are your names(?) Sorry I didn’t ask earlier. “Squire,” corrected Ryo. “I’m Ryo Goldmaker(.) My family was very rich before their death. “Wow, you all have such an interesting past. Mine isn't much though! He’s very kind and funny though, just like Uncle Slim, when you get to know him as much as I.” (Who's speaking here? Ices? You'll have to specify.) I'll edit the rest later, i gotta to go now.

Okie.
There we go. And umm . . . I'll post one more chapter.
Civilization and Friends
The next town was not far away. It would only take a few more hours to get there, Ices had said. They walked and walked, and took breaks more than they would in the forest. The sun shone brightly in the sapphire sky, as they walked on and talked on. This adventure was much better with the company of friends, and when there were no dangers lurking behind them. “I’m getting used to this walking,” said the Princess, wiping off some straw and dirt from her dress when their break was over. “It’s a lot more fun with Neopets to talk to and no one following us, except for friends, isn’t it?” Ryo nodded in agreement. He and Tony had become friends since the second day of their trip to town. They had been walking together for four days so far, and they would arrive in the next town by the afternoon. They planned to stay at someone’s house and move on after that. When the time finally came, Merle, Ices, Ryo, Princess Keari and Tony panted and panted until they came into a crowd of Neopets. The Princess, Ices and Ryo cheered and cheered, while Maemi’s heart pounded. Her hometown was not far form here, and she lived there until she was only a few months old, and somehow she had been transferred to the village in which Ryo and the Princess lived. “Five gold pieces to stay at my home! Only five gold pieces! Five gold pieces for my family, and you can stay at my house for as long as you’d like!” shouted a Tuskanniny. “Hooray!” shouted the Princess again. “I’d like to stay at your house please, for one night.” said the Princess, handing him fifty gold pieces instead of five. “Ma’am, that’s fifty! Fifty whoppers!” he cried. “Oh, is it? Well, just testing your honesty there, just testing.” laughed the Princess, taking back forty-five gold. Merle laughed, delighted and amused. “Well, can we stay or not?” “Oh, of course!” the Tuskanniny shouted back. “My name is Took Goodhope. Nice to meet you, good Neopets.” “I’m Merle. This is Princess Keari, this here is Ices, the shy Tonu is Tony, this Shoyru here is Ryo, and this young lady is Maemi.” “Aw, good to see you, good to you.” Took then lead them into his house, which was larger than Ices and Tony’s. They stared in awe at the house and hopped around the each room. Soon, they had dinner and slept comfortably in two large rooms, one for males, and the other for females. That night, the Princess, Ices, and Maemi talked about how males always underestimated them, how they could battle too, and about magic. “I’m a sorceress!” grinned the Princess, showing them her wand. “This was hand crafted by a sorcerer. Isn’t it beautiful?” “Oh, yes, very!” admired Maemi, unsure if she should touch it or not. Ices nodded. “Very pretty! I’m not sure what to classify myself as, but I’m an elemental user.” “That’s a magic one. Either a druid, although I don’t think so, wizard, or a sorceress, like me” “I’m very bad at classification. I’ve heard about it, and heard boys talking about them all the time at school before, but I’ve just never known what it was. Even Tony has been talking about it.” she replied, looking slightly ashamed.

“Oh, well,” began Maemi, smiling kindly. “Let’s start off with fighters. Fighters consist of many types, such as a barbarian, one who is a large fighter and are usually Skeith and Grarrl. He or she does not usually use weapons, but has heavy armour. Then there’s an archer, one who uses a bow and arrows. Then there’s a ranger, a classification equivalent to an archer, but is a warrior of nature. And then there’s the normal, plain fighter, who fights. Knights are fighters. Now there are the special magic classifications, us! There’s the sorceress or sorcerer, who has a long range of abilities. They mostly require a staff and are able to fight. Wizards and witches, on the other hand, specialize in one thing, and are considered evil by many. They’re not, really, but it’s just a little classification. After that, there’s the cleric, and most are priest, but I know of a few who are not. They are great at healing and dealing with the dead. And lastly, there’s the druid, and unlike the ranger, they do not battle as much but are magic users. They also heal, and they are one with nature, unlike the rangers who are warriors of it.” “Wow, that’s a lot of information you have there,” praised Princess Keari. “But don’t forget Merle and his father!” “Oh, right!” said Maemi. “A rogue. Rogues are thieves, but they aren’t great at battling or anything. Oh, and bards! They are magical singers. Not very good classifications, but they still are. Singers and storytellers. How funny!” “Bards,” said Ices. “Are you a bard?” Maemi’s eyes widened. Her mouth opened to laugh, and she laughed hard. “Oh, no, Ices, I am certainly not a bard!” Princess Keari and Ices, too, laughed. Soon, the room was full of laughter, and Took went to check in on them. “Sorry for the interruption. You are free to talk all you like, but my family is going to sleep in a few minutes. Please be in bed by then, they need their sleep.” “Oh, of course. We are so dearly sorry. Please forgive us,” the Princess said, frowning. “Don’t worry, they haven’t gone to bed yet. They will soon, and I am very thankful for your care and co-operation.” he replied, shutting the door. A while later, Ices and Princess Keari were getting drowsy and sleepy. They went to bed after they announced it, and Maemi continued her story writing. Meanwhile, Ryo, Tony, and Merle chatted about classifications. They talked through the night, and when they finally became tired, they slept for a few hours. Merle had cleaned his weapons as he spoke, while Tony was wondering about Uncle Slim and Ices. Ryo wasn’t thinking of much but classifications, and that was what they talked about. When the morning arrived, Merle, Princess Keari, Ryo, Maemi, Ices, and Tony packed up, ate breakfast and moved onward. As they walked around town, the Princess looked around for things to shop for. Many people were in town that hour, so it was very busy. Neopets were everywhere; buying, selling, walking, chatting, yelling, and some poor Neopets were even lying on the streets, dressed in dirty rags. The Princess looked sadly at them and gave them one gold piece each. With that, they could buy a meal for themselves, and perhaps even some decent clothes.

Maemi looked around, smiling heartily, while Ices looked around in awe, for she had only been to town a few times in her life. Tony tugged on her clothes as he walked behind, blushing at all the Neopets around him. Ryo was looking and going into a few weapon stores, and chased after them when he was finished looking. Merle was walking beside all of them, aware that there may be crooks in town, trying to harm of steal from them. After they had walked around for a few hours, the team went to a small restaurant and ate, talking about the stores and people in town. Soon, they were moving again, and it would only take them a few hours before they would reach the next town, which made Maemi’s heart leap inside of her. Princess Keari saw a clothes store, and she went inside to look around. She was keen on buying more clothes, for the season was getting colder and they had not packed all their necessities. Meanwhile, Merle went inside to guard her. Ices and Tony tagged along, leaving Ryo and Maemi alone on the front door of the shop. The shopkeeper was a Wocky, who looked around, making sure that nobody stole anything. Her ears twitched almost once every second, but she was waiting for someone to finally buy something. The Princess bought many coats, jackets, hat, gloves, cloaks, and blankets. She brought them outside and tossed everything she didn’t need to the poor folk, for the items were still very useful. Merle stood by her side at all times, and Ryo blushed when Princess Keari showed him the hat she bought him. Maemi helped pack and unpack, while Ices and Tony watched them and the people around them, feeling even happier. After that, they all got up and began walking again. They would be out of town in only an hour, but they also needed somewhere to stay for the night. The sky was getting darker as they trotted down empty streets and dark roads. Town was getting calmer at that time of day, but it was even more dangerous before, since a lot of criminals attack at night. It was not midnight yet, but they decided to all stop for a rest. Merle took out some snacks for them to all eat, and they gobbled it hungrily without complaints. Next, they lied down on a patch of grass, looking at the navy blue sheet of space, and the speckled stars on it. After the rest, Merle, Princess Keari, Ryo, Maemi, Ices, and Tony began walking again. In a matter of minutes, they found a small cabin where two elephantes lived. They were all very relieved and sighed. As they did so, Ryo knocked on the door sleepily, and the two Neopets came out. “We are very sorry for the disturbance at this time of day,” said the Princess, making sure she said the right things. “But may we stay here for the night, and perhaps eat supper here? We will pay you in gold and in kindness if you do, madam and sir.” When Princess Keari spoke of gold, they both stared at each other and nodded. Before Merle, Ryo, Maemi, Ices, and Tony could go in, the Princess paid them a few gold pieces and said a kind “thank you”. That night, they ate wonderful food made by the female elephante, and were given large beds by the male. They slept soundly and quickly without much talking, because there would be more walking the next day.
