authors note : answering some questions people had.
-first off agility and dexterity why i put both of them in is because to me agility is how nimble they can move around while dexterity is how fast they can move there hands and arms and how precise the attack is(example if a bunny hoped away instead of waiting for it to stop moving or slow down she can stab it mid-air no problem)
-second on her high stats it is because both her and the fox are now one inside RR and being a ten year old who stays inside all day she is really weak, But thanks to the fox being with her she can now move around quickly and easily. Ehh fuck it i will also say she is getting stats for 2 different thing her the player and the fox the npc( i don't think i'll cover this bit of info in the story so i'll just say it now). that explains away the first big stat boost + the 14 extra points which is 1 each a lvl.(this also means the npc and the players will see her as an npc while the core will still let her take quest and respawn).
-third stamina is a set stat and cant have points added it it goes up based on what she does(running fighting jumping ect)
-that's it as always please give me your opinion on this.
~thoughts~
-speech-
unknown language so i can still write what they are saying and move the story along
Artemis woke up with a splitting headache, she looks around and see she is laying on a bed in a small wooden room. Unsure where she is, she sits up, only then does she notice the bandage on her leg, arm, and warped around her chest. She first smells then sees a plate of food on a table on the other side of the room. Getting out of bed, she limps over and sits down. In front of her is what looks like potato stew with a roll. Taking a small spoon full to taste while it rather bland it wasn't inedible, and her hunger won over her desire to eat something better tasting. Soon the food was finished and she sat back in her chair to reflect on all that as happened to her.
Before she could get very far into thought the door swung open and a tall man walked in. He looked to be about 20 years old and rather handsome with a faded scar on his right cheek. Sharp eyes with a slight inward tilt, all on a chiseled feline face. But what grabs her eyes the most was the 2 short swords strapped to his waist.
~guess they wont trust a ten year old that killed a wolf.
-Hi there my name is Mark whats your little fox?
~Hes talking cant he see i don't understand?
She decides to tilt her head and give an inquisitive look at this man trying to get him to understand instead, he just points to himself and said.
-mark
-my name is mark
- marrrrk
~well it pretty obvious now his name is mark guess i'l just say it back to his so he know and will shut up.
-mark
The man shoots a big smile at her for understanding his name. He walks over to pat her on the head. Which hurts a bit from her injuries. Seeing her wince in pain he removes his hand and gives a slight bow as an apology. He hands her a change of clothes, Looking down, she sees she is rather exposed right now. Rather angry she swipes at his face, which he dodges and retreats back with a laugh. She quickly puts on the simple linen shirt and shorts. Now that her modesty was protected she once again lunges a strike at the man who dodges, and retreats out the door laughing as he says.
-now that you know my name we can work on teaching you how to speak later for now rest up.
The more she hears him talk the more she sees the similarity to English (unknown to her it is English and the fox part of her simply can't comprehend spoken language yet) she goes back to bed and as she lays in bed she remembered she level up after fighting the alpha wolf.

She spreads her 30 points evenly between strength, agility, and vitality. She noted that she generated luck as well. She decides to go back to sleep as she starts to feel an ache from her wounds. Before falling asleep she decides that even if she doesn't know where she is, she will make the best of her situation and learn all she can
30 days later
It took 30 days for her to heal. She spent those days in this small room, for the first ten days mark came every day to talk to her for hours on end. It's only natural that she soon understood the language, but unfortunately when she shows off how easy it was for her to learn how to speak, he decided to use the next 20 days teaching her to read and write. In 30 days she learned much about the people who took her in as well. They were soldiers of Rosenheim Kingdom but their unit was disbanded after taking heavy casualties, and with no where to go the remaining 50 soldiers took over a small wooden outpost and became bandits. They call themselves bandits yet the only time they will raid a caravan in when they are out of needed supplies, and even then they take care to not kill the people they once protected. Otherwise, they hunt or forage for anything else they need. Just then mark burst into her room with a big package and an even bigger smile.
~good to see he still cant know on a door
- congratulation on making a full recovery Artemis!
-mark please stop running in my room and yelling all the time.
-no can do especially to day you finally get to go outside
-yeah that sounds TOTALLY awesome going back outside just after i recovered from almost dying
-aww don't be like that we can train you so you won't have such a hard time. Anyways to commemorator this day I got you a gift, I had our tailor make you some armor from the leather we found with you. Here you go and don't worry about the size I measured you while you slept.

Taking the package from him she quickly brings her knee into his crotch. Feeling satisfied as she watches him roll on the floor in pain she turns her attention to the package. Opening it up, she sees 6 pieces of armor.

-put that on and then follow this note
Mark said while he picked himself back up, and set a note on the table before walking out. With a sigh, she strips off her old clothes and begins putting on her new gear, It took her ten minutes to adjust it so it wouldn't bounce around on her. Picking up the note he left or her, she turned pale as she read it
Training regiment
* strenching
* 25 sit ups
* 25 push ups
* 5 laps around the outpost
* 4 hours archery practices
* 4 hours blade training
Clearly mark is trying to kill her, she can't help but feel this as she goes down to start her training. Now outside she looks around and sees the fort for the first time the majority of the fort is taken up by the training ground on her left. While on her Right there were barracks, an open air kitchen and dining area. Past that was a blacksmith and tailor area. It took her an hour to complete her training and as she slowly drags herself over to the archery range she spots a small recurve bow that is clearly made for her taking it she walk over to a target 10 meters in front of her. Drawing an arrow to her check she slows her breath down as she releases an arrow downrange. Flying fast it sails past a meter above the target.
-dont worry you will have plenty of time to learn how to fight, because if you want to leave this fort you have to prove you can beat me in archery and close combat. now get back to yet.
As quickly as he came mark left again. Leaving Artemis with a mouth open wide at this new piece of information. Grumbling, she begins again and after 4 hours she is able to hit the target every time at 10 meters. This was the beginning of her time as a bandit. It was also the first Time Artemis felt like she was really living not just moving forwards in time.
