Wanderer

The Wanderer and Durin have known each other for quite some time, but the latter has been ill since birth, and now a huge sum is needed to cure him. However, the family doesn't have that kind of money.

A light autumn breeze, the boys are walking after school (they are 16), as always.

The Stranger caught up with Durin at the gate, walking calmly and silently beside him. A cool breeze blew. The Stranger was slightly taller and stronger than Durin, while Durin himself was slightly shorter and weaker, though his loose clothing concealed this.

• Durin, are you in a big hurry? I just... I don't want to go home right now.
