Veruca had never been in Argenta before. She had heard things about it though. A lot of things. Bad things. She heard a lot though, that didn't make it all true. Just meant she had good ears. Argenta didn't seem any different than Lombrica to her. She shifted the weight of her Koto case on her back. It was rare that she traveled with her most prized instrument. She made an exception now though. She had been requested to play in the Castle of Night. Apparently the Widow, current ruler had heard good things about her. She wondered if anyone else had been invited to play, or if it was to be one of those awkward, stuffy, one on one occasions.
Either one worked for Veruca. It was a chance for her to tell a story.
She had to leave a week earlier in order to make it to the castle on time. If she had been traveling lighter, she could have waited a few more days, but the Koto was heavy, and slowed her down greatly. She stopped only an hour beyond the border between Argenta and Lombrica, following the road. The straightest, fastest route. She had heard that too. She heard a lot of things.
