The Way To Riverspire

by Ryel Layn

I'm traveling on foot to Riverspire where I hope to barter my way onto a trade boat north on the Kyonin River toward Iadara. From there I should be able to find passage on the other trade routes on the river to the lake and finally south to the Inner Seas and Absalom.
 
I was able to sneak into @Aunt Ellyria's home before I left during the festival and snagged her "secret" coin purse from the hidden drawer in her writing desk. Stealing from such a horrible person was such a delight. I think I may be starting to understand why thieves exist.
 
It's hopefully enough gold to get me to Absalom and keep me afloat for a few weeks while I find a job. I am excited for my fresh start and the ability to be the me I want to be, but I can't shake the guilt of leaving my non-terrible family behind. I left my parents a note saying I was leaving but I did not say why. I hope they can forgive me some day. Until I see them again, whenever that might be, I must find new ways of being me. New ways to, well, make my way.
 
And most of all- avoid being found by Aunt Ellyria.
