This story is set in Europe/Asia of the 1470s-1490s.
This is it, this is really it, I can't turn back now, I've done it now. At first I didn't really want to go, but then, not wanting to miss an opportunity of a lifetime, I begged that they would pick me, and they did. Now I have to step it up. I will have to travel from my home town of Florence to China in just three months. They're trusting me with this and if I can't deliver I will face the consequences.
My name is Michele D'Angelo, I'm seventeen and this is my journey of a life time.
I set off today with a caravan with lots of space for gold and spices, and my horse Bic.
After three of four days I found myself in the icy tundra in Russia, lost and freezing cold.
I never thought I'd make it out of there alive, especially when I saw a figure coming out of the snow, as it came closer and closer I sarte to get more scared and then more scared again as it knocked me off my seat and my face landed in the snow, I think that in the cold I survived for about five seconds before going out.
When I wake up, the first thing I see is a young girl, she is saying something to me but I don't understand her language, but she gives a bowl of soup and cares for me for a few days until I can stand up again and walk.
After my first experience with someone foreign, I get back on the road and in a few days I reach MONGOLIA I was so excited!!!!! Finally a new country to explore!! I can't understand what they say, but with some gestures I get to a spice shop and buy my frist set of spices.
I know China is still very far away, but I will keep travelling until I fulfill my purpose.
Just to note, this work is entirely fictional, any refer to actual facts is just pure coincidence.
