What's Next?
Gasping for air I fell to the floor completely exhausted from what happened. I think I just twisted my feet, I try to move it and -
"Hisss - fuck it hurts! I am in pain! I am hungry! "
I scream and throw a small tantrum from all the pain I am getting from all the injuries in my body, to make worse my head is killing me and my fever might be coming back or did it leave before? Can't remember at this point and in my defense Gwen is 7yrs old and reasonable age to have a tantrum.
My situation not looking good. Again let me reiterate MY body HURTS and I can feel myself getting a fever or it could have been the workout of a few moments ago. I sit up afraid if I lie any longer I will fall asleep for good. I grab a moonshine flask in the ground and drag myself to the nearest body. I check his body and grab the knife I find and start cutting his shirt into strips. Not enough I do the same to the 3 other bodies. I grab the flask of liquor and poor it on my right hand.
" ahhh shit!"
It burned so bad, grabbing the shards with force earlier while fighting had given me some deep cuts in my hands, especially my right hand. I bite my lip and try to endure and keep cleaning my hand with liquor and bandaging it. Once I was done I did the same with my left hand.
"(Heavy Breathing Noise)"
My head was hurting, leaving no choice but to lean against the wall and take some deep breathes and rest for a few minutes before continuing and wrapping my injured ankle to give it support. I decide to decipher the information I got from the Robber and my next step meanwhile I take another break.
This body is to young and it's 1st magic growth has not appeared yet. Every human are blessed with mana in this world, just some get stronger mana pool making them eligible to use it in fights and others weaker mana pool only being able to use it for small daily activities. A female with strong mana is referred as a fairy, because after their 1st mana growth stage they acquire their fairy wings. It is said that each female wings are unique and reflect their soul. Men with strong mana are called wizards, they don't get something fancy like wings but their body are reinforced to be stronger making their foundation stronger and smoother to learn combat arts.
Their is only 2 magic growth stage in a human life no matter how long you live. The first is between ages 7-9,and last is 17-19, both of this are taken seriously for it can be chance to increase your potential. So before I have my 1st growth I will be weak and won't be able to protect myself. It's really better for me to send a signal home and get picked up by them. From the memories of Gwen I could tell the Novák family really care for her and most important are a wealthy influential family, I mean they made golden city be in lockdown for days!
Still it makes no sense how easy they were able to smuggle me out of golden city and detain me for so many days and not be found. Our family out of trust do not send guards when we visit the crown prince. Weird thing is that I was strolling with the crown prince, even if we say no guards to come, they must come even if hidden! I am sure they must have just been out of sight so how could they just watch me be taken, unless The Royal family had something to do with this.
I sigh and give up. Now is not the time to for that. I use the wall as support and get up and start looking for food that they must have stored for themselves. I find the kitchen and some pathetic ingredients.
I waste another hour cooking and was able to make myself rice congee with some sliced meat.
"Mmm mmm"
It was so good I wanted to cry from happiness. After eating I went and checked the house. They had me locked in a room for wine storage. Their was 2 other rooms they used as their living quarters. When I saw the bathroom I literally jumped ready to shower but remembering my injured hands I quickly gave up. After my whole search through their stuff this was my total loot.
[ Total Loot:
- 6 silver coins and 40 copper coins
- 2 knife (3 more but to heavy for me so left them)
- 2 swords (was left behind for being to heavy)
- more cigarettes
-2 lighter
- clean black jacket ( previous discarded for being smelly and blood stained)
- 2 packet of medicine ( used one already)
- flask of water ]
No time to waste I head to exit the house and make contact with the Novák family.
From the info the Robber gave me I am currently in Vermilion City, in a house located close to the edge of the slums in the south part of the city. My goal is easy find a Police station or a Good Samaritan. Whichever comes 1st before my body gives up, because I am really close to my limit and have a feeling I am going to faint soon.
