Chapter 31 - Preparing for the journey!

Jaymir and O'garth prepared for the journey. Yet Jaymir fed and gave water to Emily while they gathered up things for the journey. Jaymir took his sling and dagger, which were given back to him, and also took his alchemy book that Felix gave him just in case. Malerin and Jaymir loaded the wagon with food and barrels of water, while also loading up the wagon with blankets and herbs, so Jaymir and O'garth could sleep, or if Jaymir needed to make potions.

While Jaymir and Malerin were loading up the wagon with materials, O'garth was gathering his things also. He grabbed his weapon, brought a keg of ale, and even brought a shield that was worn out from battle, just in case he needed to get more serious.

While everyone was busy loading the wagon, Greemo went to his shop, grabbing a keg of gunpowder and tools, he thought that with was a great opportunity to use this situation to get more materials. Greemo tried to slither over to the wagon to store the keg of gunpowder and tools. Yet, Jaymir caught him and quickly asked, "Greemo, what are you up to? We don't need those?"

Greemo got a stern look and lied through his teeth as he said, "Oh, spare me the dramatic speech, Tradeworth! You never know if you need these are not, just don't say I never did anything!" then he turned around facing away from everyone as he murmured with a sinister grin, "plus you never know what type of richs you all might find." as he cackled to himself softly wiggling his fingers togather.

Jaymir, O'garth, and Malerin just stare at him as he giggles to himself with expressions of shock and disbelief, with their jaws agape and shrugging at him as if they all were saying, "Really?" Jaymir rolled his eyes, yet he petted Emily and put reins on her while also letting her continue to drink her water and eat her food, while calmly stating to her, "Don't worry, we will be leaving soon to help Felix, Emily." Emily closed her eyes and squawked happily.

O'garth's shocked expression and agape jaw turned into an angry frown and a stern glare as he shook his head in disappointment at Greemo, yet he turned towards the wagon and got into the driver's seat. While Malerin rolled her eyes and waved Greemo's nonsense off and turned to Jaymir as he climbed in the wagon driver's seat with reins in hand, she said in concern, "Please be careful, Jaymir."

Jaymir smiled, yet knew she was serious, and answered, "I will make sure there are beds ready, just in case Felix is hurt." Malerin nodded as she replied, "They will be waiting for your return." Jaymir then let out a shout, "Yah! Let's go, Emily! Let's go save Felix!" Emily lets out a beautiful squawk, which echoes throughout the town. She led forward, starting slow, putting one talon after another, then she bolted off out of town, pulling the wagon that hauled all their stuff.

As Emily slams her talons on the ground and moves the wagon behind her, the wagon and its picked-up dust leave a trail of dusty clouds. As they left, Malerin and Greemo were waving at them, but Greemo added, "Don't die out there!" Malerin shot a glare towards him, causing him to cower in fear for a bit.
