It was almost morning and the sun was not out yet. Roan was lying in his bed roll, waiting. He had packed a few things the night before. He knew what he was doing and knew he had to come light. He only packed his Dragonology book and his Terra Bestiary. He also had a pocket knife in case he needed to use it. He touched the surface of an amulet, given to him by his mother.

Roan looked out the window. It was starting to become lighter outside. He thought to himself; Now is the time. Now, or never. He quietly grabbed his knapsack, opened his window, and climbed out. He started to walk toward the shore, toward the Ever Rest.

The Ever Rest was the best known ship in the port. That was the reason he chose it. He knew that if he wanted adventure, that was the ship to be on.

Roan arrived at one of the Ever Rest’s rope ladders. He knew his climbing capabilities and climbed the ladder quickly and silently. He came to the top of the ladder and soundlessly climbed onto the deck. He noticed a few sailors on deck, sleeping while on watch. He smiled, knowing that they would do just that. He then snuck below deck into the cargo hold. This was where he was going to stow away. It was perfect, with lots of places to stay hidden.
