I woke up by the smell of egg and bacon, I opened my eyes and sat up and saw Sheryl with a frying pan with the food I spoke off cooking. “Morning” she said with a smile on her face as she spotted me getting myself up.
“Morning” I answered back as I rubbed my eyes to get the sleep out from them. Sheryl took out a plate, place an egg and slices of cooked bacon onto it and handed me it. “Thank you” I said as I took the plate from her.
As I was eating, I noticed that the other three women were nowhere to be seen. “They left” said Sheryl as she took out a plate for herself and put the rest of the egg and bacon on it. “I'm sorry?” was all I said when I looked at her confused.
“That look you had...the others have gone their own way” answered Sheryl as she began eating. “Oh...I thought they were your friends?” I asked as I began eating. “They are, we meet up every now and then. We planned the next get to gather which will be across the sea” answered Sheryl as she finished eating her breakfast.
“Why what's across the sea?” I asked pretending not to know the area. “Hmm, you really don't know this area do you? Okay then, across the sea is another island known as Dali, it is known for the home of the Witch of the Shade” answered Sheryl as I finished eating.

“Can I travel with you?” I answered as I walked towards her. “You sure you want to travel with a merchant?” asked Sheryl as she looked down at me as I noticed that she was around five inches taller than me. “Please, I would really like to travel with you so that I can learn about theses islands” I answered. She smiled down at me with a nod.
And with that the two of us headed off towards the the island of Dali, home to the Witch of the Shade. As we were walking I noticed that my clothes are slightly big and I hope that my travelling companion wouldn't notice me shrinking.
We took the first boat that sailed us to the island which wasn't that long really. It only took us till twelve to reach the port of a town known as Fishing Roo. I looked up at Sheryl and asked, "So where are going now?" She looked down at me and answered, "Well I need to stock up on a few goods so that I could sell, so I like to go and look...
