We went walked to the north gate with our luggage in hand and was ready to depart but the noble from before was standing there with guards filling the street. The noble had an arrogant look on his face as his smile grew larger and larger showing his rotting teeth.

“What is the meaning of this?!” (Mom)

“Oh I am sorry didn’t you here you are wanted criminals trying to flee the city, it is my duty as citizen of this fine city to stop you.” (Noble)

“What are the charges?!” (Dad)

“Why of course attacking a noble of course, such deadly poison I thought I was going to die because of it.” (Noble)

                Well ya it would feel like it after all he was stuck in the bathroom for several days because of the poison he consumed but still charging us for just doing our job is really pushing it. I turned to face mom to see she was shaking with anger, I pulled on mom’s shirt and she turned to me with fire in her eyes.

“Mom can you try the black potion I gave you, just through it at their feet.” (Me)

                Mom nodded and pulled out a potion that was black and bubbling in a menacing way which caused the noble to stutter a bit.

“That… doesn’t… make…me afraid of you!” (Noble)

                Mom threw the potion at the noble’s feet and when it broke open black smoke filled the air covering the group of soldiers, the surrounding people heard coughing inside the smoke then silence. When the smoke finally cleared everyone that was in the smoke was on the ground motionless, the spectators lost color in their faces as they turned their attention to our little family even mom and dad looked startled at my potion. The potion that was just used was called black brew which has some scary side effects.

bad dreams

feeling inside of dreams (Disabled)

                Since the effects were not to its normal standard it will only make them have bad dreams for about five hours just enough time for us to get out of here safely. When were about to continue we heard clapping behind us, when we saw the culprit it was grandpa Chu his assistant and a bear like man with a great sword hung on his back.

“Thanks for the show but was it really necessary for you to use a black brew on them?” (Grandpa Chu)

“hey grandpa Chu your late, if you were here we could have gotten out of the city peacefully and I wouldn’t have to use my prototype!” (Me)

                Chu just smiled wirely as the bear man started chuckling while grandpa Chu’s assistant looked like she was going to explode in anger. After greeting each other we continued to the carriage and departed, the bear like man walked beside us with the rest of the adventurers that mom managed to hire. The cover of the wagon kept us from baking in the sun but I could only feel sorry for the adventurers near us since they were baking in the sun, I decided to help our hired help so I went through my skill store and found the perfect skill for this kind of thing.

                I quickly upgraded it to the maximum and spread my qi to the surroundings and saw the adventurers look around looking for the source of the cold front they just felt. The bear like man which was sweating more than anyone gave me a thumbs up, we decided to take a break after five hours of walking. Mom was sitting in the carriage knitting while dad was talking to the carriage driver and I am walking around the area checking on the adventurers which were talking while eating their lunch. As I walked I met grandpa Chu doing maintenance on the potions he brought with him.

“So Ace back in the city what did you mean by a prototype?” (Chu)

“The black brew was not complete yet and what most alchemists use it for is to punish others with dreams where you can feel pain however I feel it’s meant to do something else.” (me)

“What nonsense are you spouting now?” (Attendant)

“Oh Rose why don’t you give him a chance to explain what he means by that.” (Chu)

“Ya such beauty yet such a cold attitude just like a true rose, anyway I think the black brew was not meant to be a potion for harm but for healing.” ( Me)

“What do you mean by healing?” (Chu)

“I am not talking about physical; if I can get the effects I want I might be able to help people with trauma’s.” (Me)

“How might you be able to do that?” (Rose)

“Well I don’t know yet that’s why when I get the chance I am going to try to find out what I have to do.” (Me)

“Well come tell me when you make it.” (Chu)

                I went back to the carriage just in time for the others to start moving out; we traveled along the road as the adventurers defended against monsters and bandits. We did the same thing for over ten days as we traveled north; I was going crazy from boredom when we finally saw the town in the distance. I stared at my new home but with no happiness since I had a feeling things will be going downhill from now on.
