"Aren't you supposed to be helping a prince?" Sara was asking me from her position in our little convoy. I had bought the twins a couple of horses to go along with mine on our new adventure, they had both given them cutesy sounding names, I tried to not tell them in my experience horses didn't last long around me, because reality should never interfere with children.
"Nonesense I told them I needed a vacation and they agreed, so here we are off on adventure!" I was trying to give the girls a good time, despite their assertion it was fun at the circus, I just could not believe that. So to show them a great time I was dragging them off to a dusty ruin that was within the new Prince's lands I had always wanted to check out, but never found the time.
"I don't see how a ruin is adventure..." That was Jara she was doing her best to freeze every insect we came across. Despite my insistence they be careful with their powers, they both tended to use magic more often they should. I feared the corruption, but to their credit neither seemed afflicted.
"Ruins are full of adventure! Things to explore, learn, treasures to aquire, what little girl doesn't want to explore a musty old ruin?" I didn't have to see them both to see the look they were giving me was not one of confidence.
"Aren't they dangerous?" Sara again.
"Ha no, if they were dangerous they wouldn't be called a ruin Sara, because they are ruined! Now if they were called a complete or a functioning, then I'd be a bit more worried."
"That doesn't make any sense."
"Doesn't it?"
"No." They said that in unison and I smirked.
"TO ADVENTURE!" And I kicked my horse forward forcing them to keep up. The statement about ruins was a lie of course, they are very dangerous and lots of evil things are in them, but so are horses and the girls had no problem giving them stupid names! Besides this ruin wasn't even dangerous... the person we met there was the real problem. But! That's for as always tomorrow!
