Merchant's Return
Seven days. We had been on the road for seven days. The big ox pulling us was slow and plodding, almost as if he had been refusing to speed up out of spite. Our wagon's wheels jostled and creaked as they turned. The chests and boxes within the wagon...
If You Give a Moogle a Drink...
