Philippe got up the next day , counted his shillings . And then he put on his cloak . He was sitting in the chair , smoking some tobacco that was left for him to consume . He sat upright , ready to travel in the train . A bit uneasy it was to be , he thought to himself . The first time he would do so. , travel on a different mode rather than a horse . I have fought warriors and creatures that most people have not seen , Philippe reaffirmed himself . Just then the nurse entered ..
I would like to see if your wounds have completely healed , if that is no trouble to you
Philippe looked at her , no not a trouble at all to me . He said so and smiled . She smiled back . Philippe stubbed the tobacco and removed his cloak .
She smiled too
I hurriedly came to see you and check if I have done a good job , said the nurse
My uncle just told me you were about to leave .
I would not leave without saying goodbye to your uncle and you . For all the help you have done that is the least I could do replied Philippe
She did not look up , she began to do her work quietly
If it's not any trouble ,
Before Philippe was about to finish she looked up . Her beautiful eyes startled Philippe
Andrea , she said .
Her strikingly beautiful eyes , which were light green rolled back to work
Philippe , he said .
She quietly nodded
Philippe looked at the sun rise . After a few seconds he said to her
I will never look at the sunrise and feel the same way again . The same way I have felt all these years
Oh , why is that so ? Asked Andrea
I will never look at the sunrise and think that is the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life .
Isn't it not ?  Andrea questioned
No , your eyes are replied Philippe
Andrea smiled
Just then the old man enters....

Philippe the gentleman he was not even muttered a word in whisper . 

Hello Philippe , greets the old man

Good Morning , replied Philippe

All set for your travels 

Yes sir , replied Philippe

All the very best for your endeavors , I would suggest you to reach the train station a little early to get acquainted with the place . It is a very busy place , scores of people in and out . Many a trains entering and departing . 

Yes Sir , I have the map

Oh , very well said the old man . Philippe got up from his chair , put on his cloak and took the bag in his right hand . 

Philippe was no the biggest man . Standing at just 5 feet 7 inches with an average built . His shoulders were not the broadest , but his arms were big and his legs were stout . He stood as a  man ready for combat . He could easily wield the heaviest sword and carry the biggest armor . he rarely was bigger than the enemy , but towered over them in Intellect and Skillman ship.

 You clearly resemble your father  , he was not the biggest man around . But he indeed was the mightiest of them all . 

Philippe smiled , yes sir . Andrea stood next to him . A very beautiful women and she just about reached the shoulders of Philippe . Her hair was clearly long but tied up . her pretty eyes looked up at Philippe 

He looked at her , and whispered . I will be back one day , very soon 

She nodded 

Leave your horse behind , joked the old man 

Philippe laughs....

Philippe departs to the train station .
