<div style="text-indent:1em;">Alma turned to Lore Master as she instructed the students and himself about their duties.  Nodding in agreement when she assigned him to lead, Alma grabbed his bag and walked out the door.</div><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">"If someone would kindly lead the blind man to his horse."  Alma stated upon exiting the inn, and was quickly obliged.  Now seated upon his horse, he was next led to the lead wagon.  He appreciated Lore Master instructing him to lead the train, but in all honesty he would be all but tied to the wagon in either case.  Traveling on roads was incredibly tedious and time consuming with such a short sight, as it barely showed him the edges of the road.  But the wagon's would stay on the path without difficulty, so Alma just had to lead his horse along side the wagon.</div><br/><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">While he sat upon his horse, he listened to Mayleen talk to the Gypsies about her new horses.  Maybe the bird-girl wasn't the only one good with animals.  On a side note, he had finally learned the bird girls name, Teresa, as Lore Master had stated it when giving out instructions.</div><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">He nodded when Mayleen addressed him.  "Good work Student, can't wait to set out."  Alma had slung his bag over the back of the horse, leaving a small side pouch within easy reach.  Opening it up, he pulled out a small bag of assorted nuts, dried fruits and jerky.</div><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">"I swear this trip was longer last I took it."  He said to himself, popping a dried apple into his mouth.  He then turned behind him to where he hoped Nicholas was.  "We may need to delay your test until after we arrive.  We'll be to busy traveling from here till then."</div>
