Enjoy!

6. Ferry Tale
Around the time Poseidon was slowly pulling the relationship with The Musician out to sea, a new girl drifted into his life. They met while schooling in the lands of Lafollette and hit it off they did. With the new distance between he and The Musician was a opening for friendship and possibly for love.
Ferry Girl was a fair girl with curly hair of brown and a kind personality. She lived quite a distance away, near a ferry across the river, but attended the same school since her parents worked in the area. She was much more religious than the rest of the young maidens our traveler had come across, but it was fine with him.
Their relationship blossomed slowly, but was strong for a good long time. They saw each other a frequently as the travel would allow and spent most days of the week spending time together after school.
Being a year older Ferry Girl finished her schooling a year previous to Slacker and moved further away to extend her studies. The trips were long, but worth it as it just made for a stronger passion when they were able to meet. Regardless of the distance they stayed together for the time she stayed to study.
She eventually returned home, deciding that additional studies were not the directions she wanted to travel. They spent a good portion of the winter holidays together and things seemed to be well. The goods were not so kind however and brought a new man into Ferry Girl's life.
Soon after the winter holidays were over, Slacker received the news, Ferry Girl would be moving on with this new love and the end of another road was found.
A few weeks later, Slacker received a package, in it were the gifts she had been given from our Chief and his parents. While this was surely meant in kindness, it was hard not to feel the cruel sting of the gods buried beneath.
