(Annoyed) *Sigh* Well, at least she didn't go too far away. Let's just keep an eye on her. I don't want to listen to Hail's bitching if she gets into trouble.

*Gggrrr*

I wonder how many she wants. Mmm, let's go with 5, dinner should be in a little bit anyway. I'm getting 10 as I'm fucking starving! (Annoyed) I shouldn't have skipped breakfast.

I then stand in line for 5 minutes slowly walking forward. During that time, I called Ella to tell her about Selen but, she said Hail already told her. I also checked up on the girl's condition but, Ella said she was still asleep, she also said that she had her moved to the room across the hall from mine.

"What can I getcha'?"(Food vendor 1)

"15 lesser drake skewers please."(Rina)

"(Surprised) Having a party or something?"(Food vendor 1)

"*Shakes head* No, just haven't eaten all day and I'm starving."(Rina)

"*Shrug* Well, that'll be 3 silver and 10 copper."(Food vendor 1)

*Clink*

I then hand him a small pouch with the money.

"Give me a minute to get all of the food."(Food vendor 1)

*Nod*

*Sigh* Well I'm glad Master taught me a trick to make pouches. If I didn't know that I would have to waste so much money on pouches.

"Here ya' go. Need a bag or somethin?"(Food vendor 1)

"Nah, I'm good."(Rina)

*Snap*

I then grabbed 5 skewers from his hand and put the rest into my inventory. I then start heading to Selen.

"*Waves Hand* (Mouthful) Thanks, for the food!"(Rina)

He didn't reply because he was too stunned at my casual use of space magic.

I then walk for a couple of minutes because Selen had wandered off to a stall that was selling all sorts of trinkets like necklaces, bracelets, little figurines of monsters, etc. And since I wasn't in any hurry I was just munching on my snack and looking at the stalls for anything cool or interesting.

*Burp* That was good. I really needed that snack. I wonder if I sh- (Annoyed) Really!? Just as I was relaxing! Some fucker has to bother her! Why!? 

Currently, some wannabe human adventurer started harassing Selen just as she found something she liked and was going to get the money. I then started listening in on their conversation.

Can I die? I feel really gross writing this part.

 

 

"Hey there cutie. Wanna go out sometime?"(Sleeze Bag)

Hurp. What is that terrible pickup line!? I feel sick just listening to it.

"(Anxious) N-No th-thank you. I-I'm alr-ready in a r-relationship."(Selen)

Welp seems like Selen is the meek and non-confrontational type. She's kinda cute. Like a little puppy.

"Come on. They clearly don't care about you if you're out here all by yourself."(Sleeze Bag)

He then tried to grab her hand, but she moved out of the way.

"(Nervous) I-I really don't want too!"(Selen)

She then started looking around for me.

*Sigh* I guess this is where I step in.

*fuwm*

*fuwm*

I then shadow-stepped behind him.

*Snap*

I then kicked his right knee and made him fall. I then stomped on his calf and snapped it in half so that you could see the bone.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"(Sleeze Bag)

He then let out a scream as if he was dying and everyone turned to look our way. Some people left to get the guards. I then grabbed the guy's head and cut his vocal cords as his voice was grating at my nerves.

"(Cold) Listen here and listen well as I'm only saying this ONCE. If you EVER harass Selen or appear in front of me again I promise you, you will never see the light of day again. Blink once if you understand."(Rina)

*Blink*

"Good, now scram."(Rina)

*Crash*

I then kicked him sending him flying into an alley. Everyone looked stunned and terrified.

"(Annoyed) Selen, what is it that you want to buy?"(Rina)

"*Flinch* Right, uh, this. The vendor said it was 2 silvers."(Selen)

She then showed me a silver necklace with a wolf with 2 tiny robesonite (Crimson red gem) for eyes.

"Alright."(Rina)

*Clink Clink*

I then dropped 2 silver on the stand and grabbed Selen's hand.

*fuwm*

*fuwm*

I then shadow-stepped in front of Darwin's shop.

"(Confused) What just happened?"(Selen)

"I shadow-stepped us to Darwin's shop because I didn't want to deal with the crowd."(Rina)

"(Shocked) You take people with you!?"(Selen)

"(Confused) Yes? Why wouldn't I be able to?"(Rina)

"(Upset) Those shitty twins lied to me!! They said it could only transport them!!"(Selen)

"(Stunned) Was not expecting the outburst but, ok."(Rina)

"(Annoyed) Tch, now I'm in a bad mood."(Selen)

"*Shrug* Want some food? That usually puts me in a better mood."(Rina)

"*Eyeroll* Fine."(Selen)

I then took out a lesser-drake skewer and give it to her.

"Thanks."(Selen)

"Sure, can I get that necklace for a bit?"(Rina)

"*Holds to chest* Glare* You're not taking this one."(Selen)

"*Eyeroll* I'm going to give it back in a bit, I just need to get enchanted."(Rina)

"*Glare* No."(Selen)

"(Annoyed) *Sigh* Fine, keep it. Let's just go get your sword."(Rina)

"*Shrug* Alright. Also got any more of these? They're pretty good."(Selen)

"*Shakes head* *Sigh* Here."(Rina)

*Ring Ring*

I then give her 2 more skewers and enter Darwin's shop.

"Hey Darwin! You in!?"(Rina)

I then hear footsteps coming from the back. He then walks out from the back with a sword in a sheath.

"(Annoyed) I told ya' not ta yell for me, ya' brat!! The bell on the blasted door is enchanted!!"(Darwin)

"(Fake surprised) Really!? I couldn't tell with how you ignore me?"(Rina)

"(Annoyed) Just take the bloody sword and go!"(Darwin)

"*Hand on chest* I'm hurt. You make it seem like you hate me."(Rina)

"*Glare* Yer' fucking annoying. Now just take the sword and scram!"(Darwin)

He then dropped the sword on the counter which I picked up and unsheathed. The blade was violet a defining trait of okrian, the handle and cross guard were white, with the handle being wrapped in black leather, and at the center of the cross guard, there was a wolf motif with a red gem in its mouth with runes going up from the head to the end of the sword.

"(Smirk) Great job as always."(Rina)

"Hmph, of course, it is. Who da ya' think I am."(Darwin)

"A master blacksmith who lives in a dingy alleyway."(Rina)

"(Mad) Scram!"(Darwin)

"I will... After you enchant 2 things."(Rina)

"(Mad) Fine! But yer' paying!"(Darwin)

"Of course. Selen, give him the necklace."(Rina)

"(Anxious) D-Do I have to?"(Selen)

"*Sigh* He's not going to steal it or something. He's just going to enchant it and give it back."(Rina)

"...okay."(Selen) 

She then handed it over to Darwin.

"(Confused) Is it some kinda heirloom or somthin?"(Darwin)

"*Shakes head* No, it's a gift for Hail. She just really doesn't want to lose it."(Rina)

"Ne'er took ya' brat's for the type."(Darwin)

"We aren't, but if it's from her Hail would probably wear anything short of goblin testicles."(Rina)

"*Shakes head* And the other?"(Darwin)

"Here."(Rina)

I then gave him the ring.

"So, what enchantment ya' want?"(Darwin)

"Transformation."(Rina)

"(Annoyed) Ya' really want ta annoy me, don't cha'."(Darwin)

"(Smile) That's part of the fun."(Rina)

"Ba, your looks are wasted on you."(Darwin)

"I'll take that as a compliment."(Rina)

"*Shakes head* I really don't see what those weirdos see in ya'."(Darwin)

"*Massage's head* Don't remind me."(Rina)

"Weirdos?"(Selen)

"Ey this one 'ere is pre- no I've actually seen a merchant prey ta her. I've also seen a group of people talk about them wantin her ta step on them. There's also the adventures who're split between liking and hating. I've also heard rumors sayin she rules the dark side of the city. But, that last ones just sla-"(Darwin)

"Huh, so it's already spread."(Rina)

"(Stunned) What?"(Darwin)

"Yeah, I took over the underworld of the city like a month ago. Started with the assassin's guild and then spread out. Well, more like I just made the former guild master do all the work."(Rina)

"Wait, wait, wait! What the bloody hell! Ya' really took over the underworld!? Da ya' want ta die!? An don't cha' live in the bloody castle!? If the demon king finds out even ya' won't get off!"(Darwin)

"(Annoyed) Do you think I did something so annoying as taking over the underworld for no reason? 'Cause you're wrong I wouldn't even bother doing it if I wasn't asked. Ella said and I quote "If it's going to happen anyway, I might as well control it. So, would you do me a favor and take over the underworld for me." I said no because it was annoying, but she gave me some tasty treats.

So, long story short I rule the underworld. Well, in name that is. I mostly leave it to Max to deal with. Granted he wasn't happy about it but, he listens anyway. So, yeah. I pretty much just rule to make sure the underworld doesn't do anything too bad."(Rina)

"(Shocked) Should you really be revealing state secrets like that?"(Selen)

"Why should I care? A, no one's around to hear it, and B, I don't work for this country. Hell, I don't affiliate myself with any country. I just did it for my friend who took me in when my family was mercilessly slaughtered. She also just so happened to be a family friend, knowing my grandpa on my dad's side.

She's like a big sister though, I would never say that to her. I have full trust in her."(Rina)

"(Concerned) Are you okay?"(Selen)

"(Confused) Huh?"(Rina)

"(Concerned) You're crying."(Selen)

"(Confused) Huh?"(Rina)

I then touched my face to find that I was indeed crying. It then wiped away the tears.

"*Sniffle* Sorry about that. I get a little emotional when I think about my family."(Rina)

"Well, at least I know you aren't stone cold like I thought."(Selen)

"*Shakes head* *Smirk* Pfft, whatever. No- where did Darwin go?"(Rina)

"Ah, he went to the back saying it was getting too personal for his liking."(Selen)

"Was I really so lost in thought that I missed that?"(Rina)

"Yeah, you got this distant stare when you were talking."(Selen)

"Huh, yeah that would explain it. We-"(Rina)

"Ya' done?"(Darwin)

"Oh, are you done enchanting?"(Rina)

"Ey."(Darwin)

He then placed them on the counter.

"So h-"(Rina)

"Jus take it."(Darwin)

"(Stunned) What?"(Rina)

"*Eyeroll* I said jus take it."(Darwin)

"Are you sure?"(Rina)

"Ey."(Darwin)

"*Shrug* Thanks. Well let's go."(Rina)

I then took the jewelry and gave it to Selen.

"*Wave* See ya' later."(Rina)

"Ey."(Darwin)

*Ring Ring*

We then headed for the main street.

"So, where are we going now?"(Selen)

"To the castle, *Yawn* I'm pooped, and I want to just sleep on my bed."(Rina)
