There Jaleco stood, at the threshold of the Peaceful Promenade. The night wind whistled past his ears like a distant freight train echoing through the air. He entered the tavern hoping to find a spare room. "Is there a room available here?" He politely asked the Tavern's owner.
"We just filled up, my apologies. You're welcome to stay for a drink if you'd like," He replied greedily.
"Well my apologies as well, I don't drink," Jaleco lied.
Jaleco abandoned the place, wondering where else he could rest in Underwood."There's always the ground," he thought out loud.
As he walked toward the edge of the town, the silence was replaced by the rustling of leaves. Jaleco's hand automatically moved onto the hilt of his sword. A ferret rushed out of the bush on his right and scurried up a tree. Jaleco ran his hand through his thick, silky white hair in relief.
Jaleco got a fire started and was soothed by it's warmth. He layed back and staired at the embers floating up to greet the bright stars. There, he rested at the day's end.
