chapter 7

As we were walking on the road, on our way to the next town, we came upon a trio of nasty looking people. Oh boy, here we go. "Hey you there!" one of the men said. He looked like a leader, but I could tell he was a lacky just by the way he acts. " there's a toll for passing through here. You gotta pay up."

"How much is the toll?" Alice questioned getting ready to pay for it. She didn't seem to want to fight the men and just wanted to avoid any trouble. Me on the other hand, didn't give a damn. I looked over to Alice. "Take care of my body real quick will ya?" 

Before she was able to answer I left my body and possessed one of the more muscley men. I then forced him to swing his battle axe at kone of his comprads and knocked her to the ground unconscious. I then threw the weapon at the other guy who was questioning us before. He was able to dodge my attack but I simply charged at him and knocked him out along with the man I was possessing.

That was fun. As I left the unconscious body and entered my own body, I finally felt normal again. As soon as I got up, Alice grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me hard. " The hell do you think you're doing, you idiot?! Those people are going to kill us when they get up!"

"But what if we take their stuff? Then they won't be able to do anything." I then shook Alice off and started searching the group. I took all of their bags and came up with quite a few items. There was 20 silver and 40 copper, some food rations, bandages, a few pelts that could be sold, and some stolen armor. Then I stripped their weapons and whatever seemed valuable.

After collecting everything of value, Alice and I continued on to the next town. Alice was still upset about what I did to those people, but I had no care for them. They were bad so I just taught them a lesson. Why should I care what happens to them?

Our next 2 days on the road ended without any more trouble. We met some traveling merchants on the way. I traded the pelts I took and some of the armor that I didn't want to the traders for some more money. It took a bit of haggling, but I got a good price for the stuff. Now in total I had 52 silver and 124 copper. In other words, for a peasant, I was filthy rich!

We soon arrived in town and had to show our identification. Uh oh. " Sir, I don't have an identification."

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Is there any way i can register for one?"

"Yeah, but why should i tell you? You look so disgusting with your clothes you probably can't even pay the fee for an application."

Okay, that pissed me off. Don't judge people by their cover, guys. Remember that. Well i knew that i could pay so i went ahead and held up my sack of money. " Can I register now you bastard" I said, my voice filled with annoyance. The dude looked at my money surprised. " Sorry kid, I thought you were one of those peasants trying to get in. The application form is 40 copper per person. If that young lady doesn't have one, then it's going to cost 80 total."

"I can do math you dimwit," I responded. Alice already had an identification form so I just had to pay for my own. After getting tmy sheet of paper. I was supposed to put my blood onto it and then say my name. You know, since saying Silenus is kind of hard to say I'll just go with a more simple one. I placed a drop of my blood onto the blank paper and said my new name. "Liz."

Alic looked at me bewildered. "I thought your name was Silenus!"

"Yeah but saying that for the first time is hard. I just reversed the first 3 letters of my name to make Liz. That way it is easier for others to know me."

" Whatever." Alice responded, she has gotten used to my randomness by now. First I threatened her older brother, I then convinced her to go on an adventure with me, I took care of a trio of thugs, and then I perfectly haggled with a group of merchants. I was just too weird for her to care anymore.

I looked down at my paper, and I saw that words had appeared. Stats were shown on it giving a very detailed description of me.

Liz: Age 14 ,Gender: F, Height: 5ft 4in, Race: Possessed human, Affinities: Life and Fire, Class: Unknown, Origin: Unknown, Level: 7, Agility:13, Strength: 7, Intelligence: 25, Wisdom: 20, Vitality: 12, Charisma: 23, Luck: 14, Magic: 28. 

Description: A reckless idiot who doesn't listen to others. This is a possessed child who is being controlled by a grand soul. She is not evil and only wishes for a fun adventure. Tends to be a bit annoying but you can't seem to hate the kid. Is actually highly calculative and has a lot of experience in life. The body has recently died but her body is not rotting but instead growing due to the powers of a grand soul.

Damn this thing is so ruthless when it describes you ya know. Imagine being me right now. But it's actually really spot on to my personality. After I looked over my identification again, I put the paper in my bag. Alice and I then continue into the town to look for a new adventure
