Cloud wandered through the large city. People were everywhere, but most were gathered around one spot. It was obvious what it was: a huge tree, the likes of which Cloud had never seen. Woah! That's got to be the tree Kakrikya was talking about. A piece of its root. If my sword will cut it, it should be easy enough. Cloud walked closer to the giant tree. There were four guards around it, posted on each side. Ahhh, I should've known. Kakrikya wouldn't send me on an errand so easy.

((he's not anymore))
Cloud walked out of the alley. He headed for the Great Tree and stopped in front of it. He went up to one of the guards and talked to him in a tone as respectable and serious as he could manage, "Hello good sir. I have come a long way to gaze upon this tree. And I, indeed see its majesty. May I collect a small sample of its roots?" The guard looked at him, startled. "Why, of course sir! We have permission to grant people the privilege of cutting part of the root to keep. You may do as you wish." Well, that was easy, Cloud thought. "Thank you, sir. Good day to you." Cloud walked over to the magnificent tree. He took out his katana and sliced a small part of the tree's roots and took it. Got it! Cloud looked at the sky. It was getting near dusk. Looks like I'm staying here tonight.

Cloud walked at a quick pace through the city. When he found a inn, he went in and up to the front desk, where a short bald man was seated. "Can I have a room please? With no windows," Cloud added. The man looked at him, like he might have been mad. "Of course, sir. Let her show you to your room." He pointed at a small girl, probably no more than 10 years old. He said soething to her and motioned for Cloud to follow. He did. The girl led him to a door and stopped. "Here we are, sir." Cloud smiled at her. "Thank you." He got a coin out of his pocket and gave it to her. She smiled back and nodded her thanks and walked away, probably to the front desk. Cloud walked into his room. It had a small bed, a table, and a chair. He unslung his large sheath and his other katana sheath and lay in his bed. On second thought..... He got up and got his katana and went to sleep with a hand on the katana handle and one eye open.

Cloud woke up at the crack of dawn. He immediately got out of bed and put his sheaths back on. Time to go to Kakrikya's shop. He left the inn and headed for Anvil.
