Chapter 11: Chapter 11
"The inspector will be here shortly, so don't make any trouble until she arrives!" a burly dwarf as they shut the wrought iron gate to the pathetic attempt at a holding cell, as I simply stare at him, my face awash with confusion. Oh yeah, you're probably wondering how I got here well basically…
*Flashback*
Wow, that smells nice, this city is pretty cool, oh is that magic I just saw? Wow this is so interesting, everyone is so weak though.
Oh nevermind that person looks interesting, they have a weird smell to them, kinda like lifeforce but different, its… Unique? Yeah I'll go with that, I wonder why?
Well whatever, I'm hungry, I haven't eaten anything since that flame boar I ate for breakfast, they should accept those purple stone's as currency right? That's a common fantasy stereotype.
"Hey vendor san! How much for 20 of those kebabs?" I say as I walk up to a street vendor who's food smells particularly tasty, I gotta say, I'm already loving this new nose.
"Oh a hungry kid aint ya, how's about 200 valis?" well I have no idea how much that is or if this is a scam or not, but he doesn't smell like a scammer, also not like it matters, unfortunately I don't seem to have any of these aforementioned valis.
"I don't have any valis on me unfortunately, I'm new to the city, would you be willing to barter?"
He looks at me a bit weird, probably trying to figure out if i'm a poor orphan or something by the way he looks my equipment up and down, but i'm proud to say I did a very good job maintaining it during my travels! So I doubt he will come to that conclusion.
"Well sure, what do you wanna trade?"
"Hmm, do you perhaps take Mana stones?" I ask as I place a fist sized stone I had gotten from a golem, no meat on that thing, was barely worth the hunt.
Oop, did I do something wrong? His face suddenly got a lot more serious.
"I can also trade in gold if you like? I ask, my head tilting to the side in my confusion as I pull off my backpack and start searching the pockets. I had anticipated this might not work so I prepared some gold nuggets I had found on my journey.
"STOP! YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW!"
Huh, someone must be getting arrested, also why does that line sound familiar, also also, why are those footsteps approaching me.
I lift my face up from my bag as I look at a pair of approaching guards.
"YOU THERE, STOP YOUR ACTIONS AT ONCE!"
I quickly scan my surroundings, wondering if there is anyone else behind me. No?
I look back at the guards quizzically, before pointing at myself.
"YES YOU!"
"Did I do something wrong?"
"You are being detained under suspicion of theft, money laundering, and for attempting to sell a mana stone to a non guild entity!"
"Huh, really, how was I supposed to know that was illegal?"
"You can plead your innocence down at the guard post. We suggest you don't resist."
Huh, it's kinda hilarious seeing them point their little spears at me, from the slight oxidation and smell it seems to just be iron, not even steel, and they smell so weak, seriously, what do they expect to do to me with those toothpicks? They wouldn't even pierce my skin if they launched those out of a ballista, although the blunt force would still hurt.
My hand instinctively reaches for my sword, and the guards suddenly begin to shiver for some reason, actually scratch that, everyone is shivering, why is that, I didn't do anything did I?
Well no matter, I don't really want to become a wanted criminal just yet, so there's no real harm in following them, I mean, even if they try something they have no chance against me. So why not?
*flashback end.*
Well then, I wonder how long till this "inspector" is supposed to arrive, this is getting boring, it's been 5 minutes already and I have nothing to do! Which is weird, I'm a very patient person most of the time, or maybe that's just because up until this point everything I've ever done has had a goal, I am quite the result oriented person, yeah it's probably that…
FUCK! I can't even entertain myself with my thoughts, maybe I should just break out, being a criminal shouldn't be to hard, I've basically lived like one for the last few millenia anyway, always being hunted… or hunting others… or preparing to hunt others… and living alone outside of civilisation, huh, yeah nothing would really change right?
Luckily, just as I was about to cut through these wimpy iron bars and slaughter my way out if necessary, the door opened, and in walked a funny flat chested redhead with slit eyes you see in anime, an elf emitting big sister vibes, and I tiny little kid, actually no he smells middle aged like that women at the gates, all of whom have pretty serious expressions.
Again, what did I do wrong? I'm actually genuinely curious. Especially considering these guys smell kinda strong, not dragon strong, but maybe elk queen strong, so someone I could really easily beat but still enjoy fighting.
Especially the redhead, she smells the weakest out of the three, but has that strange unique smell I noticed on a few others, and my instincts tell me that she is "potentially" dangerous, the kind of dangerous that requires them to sacrifice something though, like a suicide bomber, except this one feels more like a suicide "go fuck youself and anyone unlucky enough to be nearby" kinda thing.
"Hey there! Can someone tell me what I did wrong? I just tried to buy some kebabs for fucks sake!"
(an, I was gonna add more to this chapter, then I got into a really bad mood for some reason, one problem with being mentally unstable is that I can go from loving life one moment to hating all of existence the next for seemingly no reason. maybe its a trigger word, maybe someone asked me something touchy, maybe I just had a wierd thought, doesn't really matter, and then I have to contend with wanting to kill everything and everyone nearby for a few hours. so thats fun! don't worry though! I may hate life but I'm far to much of a coward to kill myself!)
