"Ugh.... I thought the world would look nicer than this.. It seemed so nice in those paintings back at home, with the green grass and nice trees. Too bad something made it like this, but like mother said all the time, enjoy what you have, not what you don't." Alexandria was quietly talking to herself as she slowly walked through the nearly completely empty streets of a random city she had been passing through, her boots making a soft thudding sound with each step while her sword was tightly tied to her hip in case someone tried to attack her, it had happened several times already while she was walking around like she was now.

She looked down at herself for a second, her clothing was starting to get dirty now that she had been walking for a good six hours, so stopping somewhere to rest would be a nice idea. "I have a bad feeling that if I stop somewhere I'm going to get attacked... So I better keep going until I feel like it's safe." Once again, Alexandria was talking to herself, formulating a little plan for the day and readying herself to follow this plan as well as she could, at least until she could find some place that was safe anyway... At the moment the area didn't seem safe at all, she could even hear the shuffling of feet, that suggested that people were nearby and either hiding in their little makeshift houses until the stranger left, or it was a group of assailants waiting for the perfect moment to attack someone who was all on their own without any kind of help available. Alexandria hopped it was the former, as there was less to worry about then.

Further walking lead Alexandria out of the city and down a long stretch of road, it seemed like just walking down that road would be fruitless if she didn't have anything to eat or drink on the way. Regardless of the recently thought of fact, Alexandria had faith that there would be a few people along the way who would be living in and running the places where people in the past would stop and purchase food and drink, if they were decent people, she would be able to get a little bit to last her for the rest of her journey... Following a single bell could be an annoying task even at the best of times. I really hope that this bell leads to giving me and everyone else in the world a much better life, so long as the stories are true. But I will find out if that is true or not when I finally get to it.
