Ken led me to the monowheel. Just like he said, it was a huge wheel that you could ride in. The engine was attached to the back of it. Near the front, inside the wheel, were handlebars for steering. Ken climbed in, and pulled me in with him. The engine made a loud roar when he started it up, then quieted down. It was surprisingly silent for something like that. He pressed his foot on a pedal, and the monowheel started slow, then sped up. It felt like we were going one hundred miles per hour.
"So why do you come here?" I asked.
"I collect herbs for Donna. She makes medicine and other stuff out of them."
"Where are we going?"
He replied, "Well, I've already got the herbs, so where do you want me to take you?"
"Uh..." I was surprised he was letting me choose. My hometown was on the other side of the planet, so no way was I going all the way there.
"Well...," I said. "what's the closest town to here?"
"Ah, that would be the village of Ur. It's a small place, nice and quiet. A farming hamlet."
I nodded. "Yeah, that sounds nice. I'll rest there and get some food. Then I'll head back to Alanyia."
"Alanyia?" He asked with a hint of doubt in his voice. "You live in Alanyia? I thought only rich people lived there."
"Well, my parents ARE rich." He turned around to look at me and his eyes got wide.
"You need to show me that city sometime."
"Yeah, no problem, but don't run into that huge boulder!" He swiftly turned back around and just barely dodged the rock.
We were silent for the next half hour. Ken stopped the monowheel as we arrived at Ur. I got off of it, and Ken sped off in the opposite direction. I headed into the town. The first thing I saw was a man with pale skin. He had long blond hair and he was wearing green shorts. He wasn't wearing a shirt, but he was wearing a black jacket, lined with red at the edges.
"Rayken?!" He shouted.
OH noez! Plz don't! *cowers in corner like wittle giwl*
