章 7: The Power
"Take a break and meditate. Get your mind off of anything and everything. Get some tea or water, relax and enjoy the novel." - Your author
And yet the darkness grows,
Never show the light,
Don't let it,
Evil can't prevail,
Versus light it must fall
Evil, am I evil?
The town is buzzing today, and a shopkeeper told me about a monk that lived at a shrine on a nearby mountain that can teach me how to use this power of mine efficiently. My 'friend' no longer is open about killing me, at least. Luckily she had some coin stashed up so we could buy some food. "About the shrine I will be unable to enter and protect you there because I am not allowed on holy ground." Oh yeah she is a demon. Wait, how has no one noticed her then?
"Say, how have you not been escorted out by the people of this village?"
"Simple, you are the only one that can see me when I'm in this 'wraith' form. In legend only masters of demons could see their servants outside of combat while they are in this form, but only in non hostile areas. Otherwise anyone would be able to see me."
"Plot armor."
"What?"
"Nothing, we are about an hour away from the mountain, so let's eat." We sat down between the area of the mountain and the village. I wonder how she became my magic bound servant? Once I'm sure she won't kill me I'll free her. "Do you even need to eat?"
"No. But it taste good, and could improve my mood."
"Oh, and how do you use magic?"
"I'm a demon, I don't know it comes naturally." As she shrugged her shoulders with a smug look. "Are you going to eat that?"
"Yes." The conversation about magic and the current standing of the land was boring but very informative. So the demons are trying to get revenge on the other races, while it is possible that their king has his own motivation. The demons appear to have the situation handled but are ultimately in a stalemate. I wonder why. Her magic was simple, It could be used in stealth. We left our spot for another time and headed to the mountain.
"So the one who told you to kill me, why me?" We were both cold as we treaded up the mountain full of snow and occasional snowstorms, caves dotted the sides away from the path we took.
"He was trying to protect his kingdom from a magical super weapon, and that is all I know. Perhaps you were the key to unlocking it, you are special" that doesn't make sense.
"Why did he only send one assassin?"
"He didn't, he sent a force behind me just in case that's why I made sure you moved quick."
"WAIT WHAT?"
"Don't yell, I saw a force of demons behind me as I was traveling here, and using stealth magic I found out that they were going to kill you if I failed."
"When will they get here?" And why hasn't the humans done anything to stop them?
"The humans can't expand resources on a village too small and far past supply lines."
"How many were there?"
"About 500." Huh avoid that maybe. But then the village will be in danger.
"Well then. After I learn how to use my power we will head down to the village and aid in its protection." A storm is brewing.
