The time had finally arrived for our departure.
Since the journey would span a couple of days, we needed to gather our essentials, specifically, what Eleanor and I would respectively require on the road. Putting aside vital provisions like rations and clean water, there were other practicalities to consider.
Sturdy travel clothes, soap, and enough coin to smooth over any unforeseen troubles were the first things that came to mind. Beyond those basic comforts, I honestly could not foresee what else we might strictly need for a straightforward trip.
However, I made a very specific point of strapping a standard longsword to my hip, despite the fact that I was already bringing Hyperion with me. Wielding Hyperion was quite taxing on my body and essence, and I had no intention of drawing it unless the situation grew truly dire. Yet, I chose to carry the legendary blade on this journey mainly because its mere presence brought me a sense of comfort.
