Snippet #1127633

The rain was continuing to pour down as Alexandria sat on the counter watching it fall past the window before her, the fact that she had been waiting a while now for the rain to stop was evidence enough that it wouldn't stop for a while. So instead of waiting any longer, she hopped off of the counter and left the little road-side store, taking of in a sprinting pace down the road.

Obviously the many bottles of water now in a bag on her back would slow her down, so she had to pace herself if she didn't want to collapse in the middle of the road, meaning she had to take short breaks where she would just walk further before she felt she could run again. "I better give some of this water to people when I pass them by, show them that there are people who are happy to give them things they might need, especially clean, contained water like this." She said to herself quietly as she walked further.

After a long time of walking and running, Alexandria noted that she had passed by a one-story building that she had seen was a school just by peeking in through a window, she had already trespassed on one person's territory today, repeating that wouldn't be beneficial so she headed on past that to find herself in a small neighbourhood. This neighbourhood was more modern in terms of building quality and external looks compared to her little settlement's housing, every building was identical to the last besides a few minor details, such as a lawn decoration or something like that in front of the house.

Then a familiar sound reached her ears, the sound of fighting. When she heard this she went quiet and moved into a dark hiding spot and watched as one man with only a plank of wood easily beat down another man with a large sword in his hands. "This is why you choose a light sword over a heavy one... otherwise your attacks are slow and easily readable." She quietly mumbled as one of the two who had attacked this guy ran off in the direction she had come from while the first man she had spotted, the one with the plank, took the large sword and left, heading east.

While wondering why the man had taken the large sword, despite looking like he couldn't properly handle it, Alexandria slowly stood up and followed after him.
