Very intriguing beginning. The descriptions were wonderful, and I enjoyed the first meeting of Jackson and the (so-called) Priestess.

Looking forward to more, and certainly hope you continue. Only one small typo in this.

"The priestess told me that I would have to pretend to be here, and convince the next traveller to escort me to Dyls."

I'm thinking 'here' should be 'her.' No issues, though, just a typo.

Adding this story to my alert list.

Keep writing,
