Early the next morning, the three sisters set out to town together; Spring and Autumn both in their travel leathers, Spring wearing them over a blue linen tunic and Autumn over a tunic of light green wool, Summer clad in a light red dress made from forest spider silk and a woven leather belt with a few small purses on it. With a light but filling breakfast in their bellies, they made good time down the road, even as Summer occasionally veered of the road when she spotted a pretty flower and Autumn dashed into the forest to refill their waterskins. By the time the sun hung low in the sky and the forest gave way to meadows, and then fields, to a one their hair was decked in forest flowers, and their bellies were full of sweet fruits and berries Spring had foraged along the road.
“Did you have a plan for this seeing the world thing?” Summer asked as they made their way past the first farmhouse on the outskirts of the town.
Spring shrugged. “I guess we’ll just wander aimlessly from town to town for a while, see what we learn?”
