I decided that I would go and seek my dad out myself. I didn’t tell Ro because I just didn’t want her to worry. This weekend we are moving into our new apartment and Momma starts her job on Monday at the nursery. So things are starting to settle down here in Umbra. But Anson is demanding payment from me for last week’s work. I cannot keep him on by myself, so I need to find Dad and ask him for money. It’s time to figure out why he hasn’t come back to the farm.
This morning I woke up and headed over to the family farm. I got there and Anson said today would be his last day if I couldn’t come up with what we owed him for the previous week. *sighs* So I gave him whatever I had on me and still owe him 250g. So I got to work, I needed to process all the wheat from our farms into sacks of flour so that I could sell them to the locals. Hopefully for enough money to pay what we owe Anson.
Once again the rage took over.
It had been a few days since those punk kids took stabs at me because of the bruises on my face. Director Razele expelled them both, so take that! Ha! I am sure my test scores proved my case. I actually love school and really want to one day go to Wind and become a great mage. I am after all from Moonglow. Dad shoots down my dreams every chance he gets wanting me to take a job as a janitor in the zoo, like he had when he was my age. “You’re aiming too high,” he says. “You’ll never amount to anything,” he says. “I have a real job waiting for you when you graduate at the zoo,” he says. Bah! Whatever.
