Chapter 7 Journey prt 2

(Made a title picture tell me what you think I think I might remove the mask but I don’t know if I should so it stays until someone says no.)

Day 7: It’s been four days sense I checked my stats and realized that I am probably the strongest person in this continent. But I wont get cocky. I might have the power and some technique but a true master of fighting could beat me with there experience. So I began to watch Alice and her party as they trained during there off time and learned their every move. It took a few days but I eventually mastered their techniques. Its not perfect but it will have to do for now.

Day 8: I was able to test out some of the techniques when, I was challenged by some young arrogant guy from Alices group who tried to say that it was a fluke that I beat her and he was going to prove it. He than charged at me with his sword raised high ready to strike me down when he met…. the ground for he had tripped on a rock and fell on his face. I was upon him in second ripping off his fingernails, breaking his bones, eating his food, and pouring spices on his wounds. He cried like a bitch I’m sorry to say it probably was painful and I was about to apologize when he said that I got lucky and that he would get me next time. I looked at everyone and put my hands out wide and said is he mental? No one answered so I took that as a yes and went to sleep it off.

Day 9: After some long travel we arrived at a town today called Esterwynne. It’s a small little place with about 1500 people in it. There seemed to be something exciting happening right in the middle of town and when we arrived there we saw what appeared to be an arm wrestling tournament. One man was really giving it his all as he tried to force the other mans to go down but that hand wouldn’t even budge. The second man didn’t even seem to be trying as he sat there drinking some ale and smoking from a pipe. I asked some people in the crowed who they were and a man in his 30 replied, That they the challenger was some farmer who was called Bill maze or something and the defender was apparently the strongest man on this continent. His name was Camron and he was a trainer from the Battle academy (Battle academy: trains some of the best warriors in the world 6 different areas of training assassins, berserkers, arcane warriors, archers, beast tamers, and regular old warriors. The archers, warriors, and beast tamers trained outside while the assassins, arcane warriors, and berserkers trained underground.) before he was fired when he wouldn’t train some arrogant noble who only got in because his parents paid for it. After he was fired he decided to go around different towns and give prizes to anyone who could beat him. Be it money, rare items, or even his services as a mercenary. Alice got really excited at this and decided to challenge him sense he finally decided to beat the other man. She ran up when he asked if there were any other challengers and took her seat. I thought that she would probably win if it was her but I was surprised when she could only move his hand a fourth of the way down before he brought it back and hit her hand on the stone table they used. He congratulated her on being the first person to get that far and gave her some gold. I decided that I really wanted to see what his strength was and challenged him right away. When the match began I used 300 str and pushed his hand down he looked surprised for second before he started to push back. I increased the amount of strength I used by 50 but he kept of pushing me back so I increased it again and again and again until our hand got stuck in place. It seems that his strength is at 500 no wonder he was able to beat Alice. As I looked at him I noticed that he had beads of sweat rolling down his face from the effort of what he was trying to do. So I raised my strength by two hundred and slammed his hand down on the table, which at that point cracked in half making me drive his body into the ground. There was a shocked silence before everyone broke out into applause. I picked the man up and apologized about putting him to the ground like that. He was pretty jovial about it and told me it happens. He that said that I was the first person besides his master to ever beat him and that I will receive a great reward for this feat. He reached into his bag and pulled out a book. I was about to ask for something else when he said that this book was a relic of old times that allows people to learn a new element of magic and allows you to use it. This made me perk up sense I could only use dark and fear type magic and happily accepted. I opened the book and heard a voice ask,

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

What element do you wish to gain control of?

I thought over my options and decided to go with “nature magic”.

The book turned into a green energy before moving into my body thus allowing me to use nature magic. Which I quickly tested out by making some flowers grow on the nearby dirt. As I did this I looked around and saw that no one noticed this and thought It best to keep my new ability a secret. After we said farewell to the towns people and Camron we continued on our way to the spire.
