Her...Freedom Elixir! Nothing else entered her mind. She felt like she had lost her most valuable treasure!

So, utterly, devastatingly bad!

Anonym was so angry that she rushed towards Switch in haste, getting out her dagger and ready to pounce on his throat!

But, suddenly, she was stopped and even hurt by a shield that had surrounded him. It was little fire embers that went into her delicate skin and made it red and start to blister.

"Ahh! You...Ya hurt me!" She said and then hiccupped once again. It…Really wasn’t a laughing matter, but she did look comical.

Switch stared at Anonym, holding in his laughter, "To think you are this immature, I'm surprised."

It was a total insult! What nerve! Anonym became red in her little face and it made Switch smile. "In return for you to stop drinking, I will help you."

Stop...Drinking? You'd have to help me quite a bit for me to stop drinking! That's a huge setback, so the help needed would have to include...

Switch sighed as he saw the little girl get taken away through thoughts, "You want to be stronger, right? I'll help you."

How did he know? Anonym blankly looked at Switch, and for the first time she saw that he was quite a handsome fellow.

He looked like someone that was extra divine, not the ones here usually on Roneglaise, but someone that was very powerful! Having a soft purple cloak with white clothes under it, made him look like royalty. Then his face, which looked expressionless, had eyes that seemed to dig right into Anonym's eyes. He wasn't perfect, because of a gash along the side of his face, but his face was something to turn twice to look at! He was more handsome then she was! What was he doing here!?

Switch waited, this little girl would act her age, even though Switch was sure that this being in front of him was much older than ten!

He was certain that this person was created as he was, as they had the same immense power that went through them. Switch couldn’t see through Anonym, but he knew it by the sight of her aura, as it was like his own. Never coming across someone like himself before in any of his history, he felt a little happier. He had been searching for a long time on what he was supposed to do...He had left his planet some time ago, yet never found anything since. This was the first planet and person for five years, that he finally felt like he was in the right place.

Seeing her in thoughts again, he interrupted, "What's your name? What is it you want to do?"

Anonym looked at him and took in his words...Would drinking freedom elixir, qualify as an answer? But as she looked at the seriousness of Switch, all she could do was pout and shrug. Then, finally answering, only with her name.

Switch's mouth twitched, this little thing will be annoying.

But, it wasn't totally Anonym's fault for acting that way! They were strangers! Why did she have to tell him what she was doing!? What did it have to do with him!?

Staring holes into Switch, Anonym wondered what he wanted from her.

Again, Switch's mouth twitched, this kid!

Normally Switch rarely made expressions, he hadn't the need too...He wasn’t a cold person, there just wasn't much that he hadn't seen, but this little runt wanted to stare at him like he was a bad guy!

Did he not know that he sincerely wanted to help her? They could work together!

Sighing, Switch didn't know how to continue. Did he have to spell it out that he was like her? Did she not know who she was?

Thinking that being the best possibility, Switch became expressionless again. "We are similar, so I want to help you."

Anonym's face changed drastically, it changed so much that Switch became suspicious of her thoughts. She looked happy, then questionable, then angry...Then angrier again!

Ah...I think she's taken that the wrong way, Switch thought.

"Similar ma ass pal! Go knock ya head in some other hideout!" Anonym said in a huff.

Switch flinched, what kind of words were these? Truly, did she not know? Did she think I had meant something totally different? What am I supposed to do?

Switch was...At a loss.

People had become easier to read in his later years, but this little devil seemed to only surprise him. Previously, he had to use some kind of power for him to remember his past, so, he clicked his fingers to do the same thing to her.

"Let's just go Switch, she doesn't want our help." Presley said, he had never been so ignored before...Switch always knew where he was and what he was doing. Suddenly, he felt a little lonesome.

Switch looked at Presley in surprise...Thinking for a moment, he clicked his fingers and the entire area changed. The cave grew deeper and the opening practically closed.

"Hey! Wha ya doin ta ma spot!?" Anonym yelled a little scared to this freaky figure. In her entire existence, she hadn't come across someone like him before. A click and puff! That was like a fantasy book, never real!

Seeing her unchanging from the little kid before, that acted like they weren’t like him, Switch was unhappy that his magic hadn’t worked.

Switch nodded to Presley, looking a little disheartened, "Go down, there's food and treasure for you there, I'll come to you when we're done."

Presley smiled, well it didn't look like a smile on the outside but it was nonetheless, and left.

Sighing, Switch turned to Anonym, "I was completely serious, I will help you get stronger!"

Looking at Switch, she saw that he was serious...That serious that it was sort of annoying...

Taking the chance, she stated, "I was collectin stuff ta go inta secluded cultivation."

Switch nodded, he had been here for about a year and knew about this cultivation, "I see, tell me what you need, so you can start then."

Surprised, Anonym wanted to test this idea, "The next book ta that un!" She pointed at the book Switch had been reading earlier.

Switch nodded and clicked his fingers, and then something appeared into his hands. He put it out towards her and asked, "This one?"

...This strange guy...

Picking the book up, Anonym looked at it and then widened her eyes in surprise...

Uh? "Yeah..." She had complicated feelings, she had looked forward to torturing the Hydra Clan more, but what would be the point if she already had the book?

…This was happening extremely fast and Anonym was silent.

"What else?"

Looking at Switch, Anonym was still in a bit of surprise, "I dunno…Ah, somethin called a freedom elixir."

Anonym couldn't hold in her smile at the thought. Her prior thoughts of the Hydra Clan totally evaporated.

She wasn't thinking properly at the moment, she was still a little drunk and there were too many things happening. But, cultivating would seriously go quicker with freedom elixir...Was what she thought...

Switch clicked his fingers and another item landed in his hands. He opened it, but Anonym stole it off him and put the lid back on. "It'll make me cultivate faster."

"Then start." Was all Switch said.

Anonym hugged the freedom elixir and stared at Switch.

Seeing her just look at him, he wondered what she wanted...

...

"Go! Dun ya understand 'secluded'?" What an idiot!

Switch was taken aback, she could have said it nicer. So easily getting thrown away when he had just helped her…

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

He was a little annoyed! How could he have wanted to help her!? Was he going crazy!?

Clicking his fingers, he closed of the area around her and walked down towards Presley.

***

After a year, Switch had travelled out and back, only once Presley had travelled with him. As it was, he had only come because Switch had made his treasure disappear.

Switch would even leave for months at a time, which may have been shorter if he would fly, but he didn't.

But it was at this time, that Switch found what 'freedom elixir' was and shook his head. What a little runt!

When he finally returned at the hiding spot, he opened the secluded area, that he had made for Anonym, and found her laying there, motionless, on the ground. Running up to her in worry, he checked her, to find that she was still breathing.

Sighing in relief, he sat beside her and, suddenly, her hand grabbed his foot and she yelled, "Food! Freedom elixir! Now!"

Ordering him around uh! Switch tried not to smile, as he clicked his fingers to produce a table and chairs with food.

Racing towards the table, Anonym widely looked at the food with droll coming out of her mouth. It was the most beautiful thing she had seen in months! Not having to eat through the art of Rejuvenation, was a great factor, and would work for life...But having had cultivated as much as she had, her art of Rejuvenation seemed to be working to the extreme and Anonym had found herself a little hungry in the last couple of months.

Not caring about her growling stomach, she continued to plunge into cultivation and then found herself faint to exhaustion. She had been sleeping for two days before Switch came in, but now her tummy was much better and nearly back to normal again. But, she wanted freedom elixir so badly, and that’s when she saw a cup on the table with liquid.

Was that it!? Was that the beautiful, freedom elixir that I ran out on before the first three days of cultivating!?

Her eyes started to bulge out from staring at the cup, and her tongue licked her lips. Switch was watching and really felt like laughing as she gulped down quite a lot of it.

Then suddenly, she spurted it all out at him, making him breath hard in utter rage.

"What the hell!? I said freedom elixir! What is this!?"

Switch clicked his fingers to have a pool of water appear and dove in straight away. He really had just stomped on his own foot! He had the cup be full of horse urine, but had never expected that the little runt would spit it back out at him. How humiliating!

As Switch washed himself in his sorrows, Anonym seemed to get over the drink and started to eat. It did smell, but then, so did she.

Seeing the pool of water, she decided to bathe after she finished eating this delicious feast!

Switch was something she might have to keep around after all! Perhaps, her second slave…

The food tasted great, and Anonym felt herself relax after her strenuous training.

She had spent six months going over the invisibility books and finally was able to cultivate all of it. Due to the difference of how you cultivate different talents, arts and personal traits, Anonym knew she had to work on some things out of this closed in space as well.

But, she could become visible and invisible again at will now. On top of that, she was able to make other things invisible and visible also. That was the first book of invisibility, among learning the way to cultivate the art. What is cultivated through the art of Invisibility is what can't be seen. So, she had to spend a great deal of time just trying to figure that out, with her not so clever brain!

What had helped her was the former body's father, back when she had seen him last. The time that she had been pushed, she had figured that it was what couldn't be seen!

Slowly, after knowing a tiny bit more about it, she could cultivate it and found some improvement. The second book contained things that were a lot harder. She could now rise anything from the floor, towards the roof and move it around.

Anonym couldn't wait to scare somebody with this trick!

Sadly, she had realized that she hadn't done or learnt anything else and it had already been six months!

Making effective use of her time, she had then decided to use the magical stones, that had been stolen, and improve on cultivating Power. Knowing it was quite a scary thing to cultivate, Anonym still wasn't in the least bit worried. Cultivating Power was quite remarkable and she knew it would help improve in everything, but of course it was the most worrisome and rarely used because it could so easily take your life. It was basically a tug of war with the magical stones, you had to steal the power from within them. If you didn’t succeed, the stone would take your power instead and become a higher graded stone.

Having memories and former usage of her lost cultivation on Power, she knew what she was doing and spent four months on cultivating Power alone. And in that four months, her Power had tripled, meaning that whatever she was the learn now, would be a lot easier in the future. Of course, as a main effect of Power, it makes your talent more powerful as well. For instance, she would now be able to give a bigger push then that of the former father would have.

It was after this that she had remembered a few things. One was that she should personally cultivate Proficiency to make learning anything else quicker. Then, she could also get some pills that alchemists make that help with cultivation. Seeing that she hadn’t seen any pills, she was sure that the Hydra Clan was one of the lowest clans on the continent. It may have looked big on the outside, but it didn’t seem to contain items of medium or high value.

When she had stopped cultivating Power, Anonym knew that she should continue to find something else to cultivate, but had gotten a little bored. She had remembered in her previous life's that she would spent quite some time in secluded cultivation...But she was suddenly feeling like she wasn't making the best of her time...She really wanted some freedom elixir! She wanted to try her new tricks on people! But, she slowly had decided that she would think of that more after a year had fully gone by.

As another two months went by, she grudgingly continued her cultivation but had ended up absolutely exhausted! Having spent the last two months with pressured cuffs, that helped to cultivate Strength, she was able to double her strength, while upgrading her dexterity, by doing all her training with her eyes closed. Dexterity didn't show too much of an improvement, as a better way to cultivate it would be during sword play or obstacle courses, again, during doing these, it would be better with your eyes closed.

After sweat had trickled down her clothes and her face had been red through her pumped up blood, she couldn't help but fall to the floor. The floor now was deeper, through her punching it. The walls around her had gone outward through her kicks and she had found a hard rock to practise on, but now that had small holes in it, as she had slowly gotten stronger.

That was it though! She had fallen into a deep sleep upon falling to the ground. And two days later, Switch had come in and she couldn't help but ask first for freedom elixir and food!

***

Finally finishing her food, she stripped her yucky clothes off and went into the pool of water that Switch was still in.

"Hey! Get out!" Switch said in surprise. He was currently naked…And so…Was she!

"I'm dirty!"

"I made this for me, not you!" He wanted to hit himself for not making this pool further away.

"Shut up and let me get clean!"

Switch turned around, so not to be rude. Should he just get out? This girl literally knew he was there...Presley would always force things upon him like this as well. Talking nonstop had really gotten to Switch at first, but after some time Switch realized that he seemed starved for attention. Presley's special reactions to the world outside his cave made Switch happily bring him along...After so much time, and remembering his past, he saw in Presley on what was meaningful to him. He liked that he was wanted, even if it was just for food…

Anonym's voice interrupted his thoughts, "What kind of power is it that you have anyway?"

Switch looked over at Anonym, seeing her cleaning her legs happily in front of him. Turning back away, he replied, "It's a long story."

Seeing Switch seem to close off to her and go quiet, she didn't pressure him further. What she did know, was that with him being close to her, he would come in handy with what he can do. But what she didn’t know, was that Switch didn’t find that kind of conversation appropriate right now…

"Are you going to continue helping me or be on your way?"

Switch looked up at her in surprise, hadn't he said that he'd help her? Did she still not understand? Perhaps she might have trust issues?

"I told you I was going to help you." Was all he said.

Bargain! "Very well, I'll let you stay with me! What was your name again?" Anonym said, smiling like a little angel.

Switch's mouth twitched, she'll...Let me stay with her...Wasn't it me that was...?

Shaking his head in anger, he breathed in and out and then spoke again, "...My name is Switch...What will you need, to cultivate for another year?"

"Ah! No way! I want an interlude! Actually, I want an interlude interlude!"

Switch frowned. "An interlude interlude? What's that?" Did she mean intermission?

Anonym smiled, looking far away, "Yeah!"

Switch wished for more of an explanation, but she looked like she was done talking, as she looked far away with a funny smile on her face...She looked like she was up to something mischievous!

"Very well. We'll go do something and then you must return to your cultivation."

Looking at her and waiting for her to reply, he found that she hadn't heard any of his words, so, he flicked her on the forehead. "Oi!"

She put her small hands up to her forehead and frowned at him, "What was that for!"

"After this...Interlude interlude. You will return to cultivate."

She looked at his serious face and then rolled her eyes, "Fine." Then she muttered something quietly about his seriousness.

Hearing her words, Switch shook his head. Of all the people that he found, that was like himself, it was only this tiny, little runt!

Eyeing her for the first time, while in the pool, he frowned again, she was still so young!

Suddenly, Anonym felt embarrassed. She hadn't felt this way in such a long time and she made an honest reaction of putting her hands over herself, "Hey! You pervert!"

Switch abruptly got up and out of the pool of water, at getting called a pervert, and walked off.

"Nice ass!" Her yell caught him off guard and he stood there for a moment before continuing, without looking back.

Anonym took her time to exit the cave. She played with the water, by trying to make it float in the air, and made bubbles. Then she washed her hair and wondered what she was going to do with it. She had even been naked for some time before she had yelled out to Switch for new clothes.

Getting some in her hands seconds later, she laughed. How awesome was this new slave! Thinking of rising his rank to something higher, she wondered if she should call him an assistant instead…

Now that she knew that he was someone that she wanted to keep, she should try to treat him better. What should she do? She had already given him a compliment about his ass...Didn't he like compliments?

As she was thinking about this for a brief time, it made Switch a little suspicious, as he had thought that she wanted to go and do something, but there she was, spending so much time in the cave...

When she finally came out, she really was a nice sight to see. He hadn't really looked at her nice and clean before...Her hair had been nicely combed and half of it was put up into a nice curly bun. The clothes he had given her were that of a noble, young miss, and her body fit in most parts of it very well. The sleeves may have been a little bit too long and the dress touched the floor but it didn't wreck her look at all. The colour of light yellow on her dress made her look sweeter and a tiny bit older. And then her eyes, they were so lively that it made him wonder if she'd run off like a child when they were to go out.

Seeing this, Switch was sure that this person must already remember their past life's. Even though she gives the impression that she is immature and young, she knew how to look and do her hair to that of a rich, young lady. Her eyes also made him feel like she knew more than that of a eleven-year-old.

Offering his arm to her, to act the gentleman, he wondered how he would talk about this conversation with her.

Anonym sighed, right, I'm the girl this time uh. She took his arm and walked by his side. They exited the mossy, green forest and went towards the Hydra Clan.
