Chapter 1
Talin
SKY
“So, you’re
finally back” Maya called out to her best friend Sky.
Yeah.
Thought Sky. Finally back in Talin!
The two friends have visited this medieval festival, which is held over 2
weeks, for 8 years in a row with their group, the Setarips. They’ve always been
the same team, only Sky wasn’t a part of the party for the last two years. She
is thrilled to be finally on this journey with her friends again. The last two
years were a living hell for her.
Don’t think about that! She forced herself to let go of the past and to focus
on the future awaiting her. Gregor,
the self-appointed leader of her group, called out “Ladies and Gents, let’s get
moving! We will begin with the big tent. Come over here now!” Like all the
years before, everyone pitched in and their accommodation for the next 14 days
was erected in three hours. The campsite included a big, black sleeping tent
with room for up to 20 people, a smaller tent leading to it and a black yurt
style tent with a good 50-foot circumference. Once everything was set up, Maya,
Alexa, Zoey, and Nina arranged candles, blankets and trunks around the tent to
make it cozier. Jack and Taylor dedicated themselves to securing wood and straw
from the storage area. Gregor had already begun to sort out the campfire.
Sky sat slightly
off to the side on a small quilt and took a break to enjoy the atmosphere of
the campsite and the surroundings of Talin.
She felt on and
off being watched by someone, even though upon looking around, there was no one
there. There was just this horrible feeling that something was amiss. Her heart
was racing and it seemed difficult to keep her breathing under control. Sky had
such anxiety that it all would start over again. She thought about it
constantly.
After a few
minutes, Fabio, her best friend from their days in diapers, sat down next to
her and her anxiety vanished.
“You good?”
“Totally!” She
answered. It didn’t sound as convincing, as she wanted it to, but she had
simply drifted too far away in thoughts.
“Sky...”
“No really Fabio.
I’m fine, better than fine! I was just deep in thought for a moment, but all I
want is to keep looking forward.” Sky interrupted her best friend.
“Okay babe, but
please let me know, if you need any help! And don’t let me know when it is
almost too late again!”
The dig at her
ability to ask for help was something that she cannot fault him for. She leaned
against him and together they enjoyed watching what was going on around the
campsite.
Sky loved to
cuddle in his arms. Much too long had she had to endure without his company.
RYAN
“Ryan, Ryan, we
are here!”
He saw Alex, his best friend from Germany, wave at him from afar. He parked his
black Porsche Cayenne on the curb by the big wall, which divided the grounds
into two. Then he walked the rest of the 220 yards where he was to spend the
next two weeks.
It’s his whole
year’s vacation time since he took over his father’s firm 11 years ago. He was
only 18 years old and had hardly gotten a day off since then.
Ryan had promised
his father right before he died, that he would do everything in his power to
preserve the business. He was happy to do it. Ryan loved the responsibility and
he loved to not be under anyone else’s control. Of course, he enjoyed the
comforts that came along with being one of the most successful businessmen of
Boston as well. He was happy to grind away for money and girls.
Despite all of it he was happy to put that stuff aside for a couple of weeks.
He looked forward to being among 5000 equally medieval crazy peers for two
weeks. Without those fake friends, who only wanted to ride on his coat tails.
There would also be no gold-digging girls, who would do anything to hook up, in
hopes of being supported by him. Here, he could just be himself. Just Ryan and
not Ryan Black, top young businessman and Boston’s most eligible bachelor.
He reached Alex
and his group and was welcomed by all. After some more hugs, slaps on the backs
and pleasant small talk, Ryan tried to get an overview of the space. His
verdict was: Total chaos!
“Hey man, Alex,
how long have you guys been here?” He asked.
“Hmm... about 3
hours? The guys and I wanted to toast our reunion.” Alex grinned. Chris came to
greet Ryan and simultaneously placed a cold beer in his hand. For most of the
group, the time in Talin would be their only chance for relaxation. Nobody had
any intention of getting stressed by anything.
It had already
gotten dark and they finally needed to set up camp.
“It’s no use
guys, we must begin to set up now.” A mutual grumble and moan spread through
the group, even though, everyone quickly finished their beer and began the
rather unpleasant job of setting up.
