I open the door and she steps out in front of me. Oh there's a guy. Ok so it looks like it's just this guy that good I only have seven knives. And a few forks .Ahh I was wondering where the spear master was. It seems he’s waiting in front of the door for me. Isn't that great. Ok I give the girl a kick. She’s adorable when she stumbles.

“ stop child” the spear man points his spear points straight at Adira. But she keeps walking. Hmm she’s truly just walking forward with her chin up. She not puffing her chest. I ready one of the kitchen knives in may hand. An action that’s spotted by the spear master. He being a sensible man thrusts his sword straight at Adira. There's a flash of silver as my knife collides with the spear tip. Adria lets out a noise but continues walking. It's not a natural walking pace. It hasn’t been since I kick her out the door. Mister spearman jumps back and I take a large step forward and continue to walk at the same speed of the girl. Despite what you would think shes not walking slow no insead she walking quite fast. Maybe it is because I kicked her and she just hasn’t slowed down yet because she in my arm reach. From a distance a clear blue flame spreads across the spear.

“ ohhhhhhh that cool” honestly it looks cool. I guess the only problem with my dragons final flaw is… it's too efficient. Really in its later level I can do cool shit too. But see the problem is that.

The spear flies forward. Not aimed at Adria but me. It’s a good strike. I can tell that a lot of effort has gone into learning this attitude. Honestly it’s quite amazing. You probably would be hard pressed to find a similar level in this territory. He's using the locus arts. It means he focuses on speed. Truly a master class. But see I am also master class. I place my left hand above Adria

I simply move my right hand in front of the spears path. Crack. The spear collides with my hand and is force back. We continue walking. Crack bang crash crack band crash. A fury of blows insures. But each blow is counted by me simply moving my hand in the spears path. The problem with

The spear tip shatters on contact with my hand. The mans face twist in horror. The leftover force and aura shots off to the side. Boom. If I had to compare the size of the explosive it's a grenade. Adria lets out a small screech. The man look at me in horror than he say “Damn defense its a fucking turtle”. He turn to run clutching his broken spear. Is this mam an idiot. He doesn't get three meters before there another small explosion. His head explodes. His body fall to the ground.

Huh must have hit him with the back of the knife instead of the front. His body falls to the ground.

And that is how we leave. The hole time Adira didn’t flinch and she didn’t hesitate.

After we make it to the tree line I grab her shoulder. She tries to keep walking so I lift her a few centimetres of the ground. Not enough for her to be over my head or eye level just enough that she needs to stretch to reach the ground.

“ So what do you think so far of the outside.”

“ It’s cool.” Seriously this fucking kid. First time outside and it’s cool.

“ What about the sky... what do you think about the sky.”

“ Its black.” Adria said with a calm and emotionless voice and face.

“ What about the stars”

“ What's a star?” Huh. I look up “ Ha you got a bad night. There's really no stars in sight. Ahh thats right there was a lot of clouds before sun down wasn’t their. Actually now that I think about it kid you common sense is really scued. You talk fine and yet you don’t know what a star is” I look but down at the girl. She wasn’t paying attention to me. She probably didn’t hear what I just said. So I gave her a weak little kick. She fell face first into the snow. She gave a little scream on the way down. She laid there for a little while. Face down in the snow So I kick her again. Her arms sprang up and it look like she was trying to punch the air behind her head. After a few minutes of adorableness I decided to kick her over.

Slowly becoming my life fuel.

After a few more minutes of wailing her arms around she was now facing the sky. She was crying and a big smile was on her face. She keep saying “ Its cold.” I left this madness behind and went to unearth my pressas painting from the snow. It wasn’t hard. After I returned she had sat up. Adria look at me. With the straightest and most emotionless face I has ever seen. Around her there would be about 100 snow angles. How the fuck did she do that?

Honestly it a bit scary!

She look me dead in the eyes. She ask a question. One I didn’t really expect “ Isn't it just another cage. The outside I mean” she look me dead in the eyes. I’m not quite sure if the question was a deep as I made it out to be but. “ Yes. That's why I will kill god and escape it. This cage call the world. I will find it. A better world. A better outside. I have someone who I would want to show it to you see. So no this world isn’t that great at times but it isn’t always that bad so stick with it until I can find what I seek or make one myself. She wants to make one but I have my doubts.” she look at me and nodded then she ask “ Is god’s death truly the way out of the cage. Because I always imagined that the outside would be something else. I can’t describe it but sure I can walk and stretch my legs when I want to but i'm still bound to those legs and the distance they can reach. By small things like coldness and hunger. I am still not free. But now that i'm out the things I wanted the outside to actually be have become blurry. Varon I want to see. This better place you speak of. I’m already bored of snow, I am also hungry. Just because i’m your thing doesn’t mean you can leave me behind when you go to the better place ok.” What is this child. Is she smart or stupid. No she definitely thinking on a high level it’s just that she’s never had the chance to learn before. Yes that's why I will become that chance that teacher.

“ Ok” For the first time that we meet she said “ No!”

She look at me and said” You have to promise me”

“ I promise. I will not leave you behind in this world” she nod her head. “ Good”

We stayed like that for awhile until she said “ Now what do we do?” Ha this kid, yep definitely stupid…

“ We hunt a paladin.”

...Oh fuck my hands have just started hurting. Don’t let it SHOW!
