"Wow"<br/>Cassia stopped for a moment on the road, looking down at the vast city that spread out in front of her. It was easily ten times the size of her town, maybe even bigger, how could anybody tell? The field surrounding it were full of animals and crops to feed this great city. She set off, her heart beating with excitement, this would be a real adventure, not that her stays in the towns on the way here had not been entertaining and fascinating. From here she would be able to travel anywhere in the whole land, maybe even beyond too.<em>I'll find a boat heading to the port of Cassus</em>She thought as she crossed the wide stone bridge over a river.<br/><br/>As she walked quickly down the road, farmers paused in their work to look at her. Even though her garments were dusty from travel, her hair tangled and she unknowingly had a smudge of dirt on her face, she was still beautiful.<br/><br/>She paused at the city gate, marvelling at it's sheer size and the skill it must have taken to carve and set the stones in place.<br/>"Watch it!"<br/>She quickly stepped out of the way of a stream of market carts.
