Hey! This is the first story I’ve ever written so I’m looking for as much feedback as possible. So be sure to leave a comment letting me know your thoughts. If you folk like this part, I’ll go ahead and continue to write more of ‘Lily’s Quest’. This part is a little light on *action*, but the plan is for a lot more of it in future chapters.
Enjoy!

Chapter One – The Royal Loch Inn
Lily handed the rustic barkeeper a few coppers, and grabbed her flagon of ale. Frothing with white bubbling foam, she gulped at her drink, letting her worries wash away, if only for a few hours. With a heavy sigh, she lowered her drink and wiped away the residual foam from her upper lip.
Lily was currently seated at the bar of *The Royal Loch Inn*, a homely enough establishment with a varied clientele of traders, travellers and the occasional questing knight. In the corner of the room, a local bard played a soft, mellow tune on his lute. As the tavern is situated on one of the main roads towards *Easthaven*, a prosperous trading hub within the empire, the tavern and the surrounding village benefit from the protection of an imperial garrison.
