Early in the morning, Marco woke up and left for the capital town of Timberport. The road was not an easy one but in the evening from a top of a hill he saw town which was on the mouth of the river, on both sides of it. He could see the cranes of the harbor and a few ships which were stationed there on the peninsula near the city a tall lighthouse was beckoning over the town and the ocean. Just outside the city there were some farms in some fields which surrounded the whole town, except the Western side of the town where the ocean was, of course.
he approached the town he went to a farmhouse underside of the road
“good evening, good lady!” Said Marco with a friendly tone of voice “do you know where I can stay over the night. The tavern, an inn or the hostel of some sort”
“to hell with your tavern” said the lady very angry “first Dragon attacked my farm burned my crops and killed half of my animals, then the city guards come and ask me questions about what I did to attract that Dragon, like I wanted to attract that foul creature to burn my crops and kill my livestock. They threatened me with the city prison and that I can be hanged for that”
“you were attacked by a Dragon?” Asked Marco being very surprised
“did you listened to what I have told you? Or are you stupid” asked the old lady being more aggressive
“I’m sorry Mme. I didn’t want to offend you I was just amazed of what I heard”
“yeah it’s amazing, really amazing! First Dragon attacks my farm, then the city guards threatens me with imprisonment and with hanging then an idiot comes to me and asks me where he can stay over the night! Amazing! Isn’t it?”
“I am sorry! I didn’t meant to offend you.” Said Marco very defensive
“just go the hell away through the city gate and you will find many places to stay!” Said the old lady
“thank you, I guess” said Marco very confused by the old lady’s attitude
“just go to hell away and leave me alone” said the old lady making some gestures with her hands telling him to go away.
“Please, I have one more question for you” said Marco “can you please tell me when the Dragon attacked?”
“I don’t know, two nights ago! Are you happy now? Now go away and leave me alone, I don’t want anyone to bother me
