My first Entry

I have never written in a journal before, but my teacher challenged each of us to start, and I thought it might be fun.
Today was a non-normal day, and it was quite fun. For it was the first time In my life that I left the village borders. After fifteen full years. Normally I would have to wait till I'm sixteen but after pleading with my father he finally said yes. Besides it wont be long till I'm sixteen.
The reason we rarely venture out of the village at such a young age is because of the monsters, our village is in the middle of nowhere and the monsters are absolutely everywhere. Fortunately they rarely attack our village, but our leader hired a group of soldiers just incase.
We left the village early in the morning, with a group of seven including me. It was amazing, I loved all the sights and though I was taught about the plants and animals in school it was still amazing to see them first-hand. For a few hours we searched for both edible plants and these special types our healers used. But as we were searching we stumbled upon a large cave, it was in no of our maps and seemed to be very long. It even looked like their was something glowing at the far end, and there were tracks at the front.
One of the men, a skilled tracker, couldn't tell what the animal was, he said it had been dragged inside, but their was no trace of the hunter. With this in mind we decided not to venture inside, a rule of which I wholeheartedly agreed. I was curios, but I never let that get in the way of my caution.
So instead we decided to name the cave, I am glad to say that they all agreed to my idea, The Darknet caves. Mainly because it sounded cool.
We marked it on our map and travelled back to the village, thankfully we encountered no monsters and found a good amount of plants.
That was pretty much my day, It was exciting and I can't wait to do it again. But for now I'll stay in the village.
