What the hell was that? I was watching the fight and I heard the little girl we just rescued cast a spell. I had my brother check and he confirmed that she did not have a class nor did she have any spells or skills when we first found her, she should just be an unawakened. We just got close enough to the necromancers that I could cast a spell I chose fire bolt because I’m still working to get it up to level 5. I cast the spell and it has an impressive effect it seems to take about half the HP from the necromancer then I hear the little girl curiously whisper “fire bolt” and point at the same necromancer and 7 bolts of fire came out and turned the necromancer and his undead bodyguards into ash all of them with a first tier spell! I mean I would understand it if it was lv 10 or 20 but then she just looks at me and asks if getting the spell to lv 5 is a good accomplishment, if she did that with an un-augmented spell her fire affinity must be insane but she would have been picked up by a guild or private teacher if she ever was at a town or city. She looks like just a normal 5-6 year old kid but if she is that good with an un-augmented spell then she must be from a bloodline. That’s the only possibility, but why would she still be unawakened I thought they awakened all of their kids? No maybe she is awakened, how else would she have cast a spell…?

After I asked her if getting the spell to level 5 was a good achievement she simply said nothing and stared so I suppose it is. Or it might just be a really stupid question and she doesn’t want to insult me. Well let’s take a look at those augmentations that reaching lv 5 with the spell got me.
Fire bolt: lv 5 A number of bolts of fire shoot out of your fingertip equal to 1+ the rank of your Extra Dart augment for this spell, The target takes an amount of fire damage based on the level of the skill and affinity with the element fire current damage is between 50 fire damage per bolt, target has a chance to be set on fire the chance is equal to 5 times the rank of this spells augmentation Igniting %, it explodes upon contact in an area of 3 inches times times the rank of this spells augmentation Exploding Mp: 2
Augmentations
Spell: Fire Bolt Extra Dart: lvl 6/10 Adds 1 extra dart of fire per level; current number of darts: 7 Spell: Fire Bolt Igniting: lv 1/10 For each level adds a 5% chance to ignite the target on a hit. Current chance: 5%; current damage: 5 fire/Sec 3 Spell: Fire Bolt Exploding: lv 0/10 Each bolt explodes in an area of 3 inches per level of this augment. Current area: 0 inches; Current damage 0 fire damage
Wait why is Extra dart already at level 6/10 that’s higher than it should be right? What should I increase or should I wait? Exploding sounds cool but only if I have to get in to combat Igniting would be more useful out of combat and with the pacifist trait that I have that should be my priority. Well then how about both so if I increase exploding and igniting then I should be good for both survival and combat.
Ahhh that hurts it feels like someone lit a fire at the base of my skull, is my pacifist trait scalding me for thinking about combat? Maybe for attacking someone? Oh well nothing I can do about it but grit my teeth and wait for it to go away.
After about 10 minutes the burning feeling goes away and I feel my bonus from pacifist fade away to nothing. I should finish trying to augment my spell.
{Upgrade Igniting effect on the fire bolt skill to lv 2 for 1 skill point? You will have 67 remaining}
{Yes}
{No}
I reach out and poke no before trying to change it to upgrade igniting to level 10 and a similar notification appears but this one shows that it will cost 9 skill points to level it from 1 to 10, so it seems that it is a one to one trade for this, checking with Exploding shows the same thing it will cost 10 points to raise it from lv 0 to lv 10, Extra dart would cost me 4 points to get it from lv 6 to lv 10. Not knowing how to come by more skill points or how much they are worth to me yet, I hold off on maxing everything and raise both Igninting and Exploding to level 5.
The group escorting me is now looking at me with scared faces instead of pity filled ones but it doesn’t bother me, I just need to pretend that I didn’t do anything and just be an innocent little girl,
“Is there something on my face mister?” I ask the guy in heavy armor after he stands there staring at me for a while.
He jumps back and bows in front of me and says
“Forgive me I did not realize you were from a Bloodline.”
Bloodline? What is he talking about? Oh well guess he thinks I’m a noble or something. Soon the rest of the group is bowing to me. That’s odd, I still don’t see the fifth member of the group.
“Hey, I was wondering where is the fifth member of your group, I saw him when you guys opened the door but I haven’t seen him after that?” If this is like a game then he is either an assassin or a thief.
“Well he tends to work better in the shadows so we have him scout out in front of us and behind us to prevent ambushes.” The man in the armor replies. The rest of the time in there with them is uneventful, they all started to act more protective of me then before I used that spell I guess they really do think of me as some kind of royalty or nobility.

Well we walk I do the math and assuming that it takes me 4 seconds for each cast which sounds about right, I didn’t time it last time but next time I cast it I will try to remember how long it takes, but using the 4 seconds as an estimate then every minute I would be able to do, 5,525 Fire damage in a minute, this would cost me 30 mana, meaning I can do it twice before needing to recharge, so that is 2 minutes of attacking for 11,050 Fire damage, then I could do it again after 2 minutes allowing me to alternate between attacking and resting for equal amounts of time. Or I can attack for 1 minute every minute of rest but that would not allow me to reach max mana, not that I think it matters.

If I was to assume that 10 is average then I have a really good intelligence but I already knew that but I would have thought that my DEX would be lower than that… though I’m not the type to complain about being better at something then I thought.
When we get outside we are in a forest the trees are about 60-80ft tall and dense I probably shouldn’t use my fire magic here don’t want to start a forest fire. We walk for a while encountering a group of people in the forest claiming to be guards looking for the Rimrige family’s daughter when they say that their eyes come across me and go really wide and they say,
“You have already found her? Well then we will just take her and be on our way back to her parents, come here we will help you get back to your parents.”
Who are these people they say that they're here to take me back to my family but I don’t think I should just trust a group of people who claim to be guards with no prof so lets ask,
“Um, excuse me, do you have any way to prove who you are and not just imposters?” They look surprised when I question who they are and quickly produce a symbol it looks like a bridge over a flowing river with a lone woman who looks to be about 25 standing on the bridge. I don’t recognize it but it looks like the people I’ve been rescued by do and they bow down I’m left standing and still not sure if I should trust them when the guy in armor who I learned his name is Alvar says
“Of course now that we have verification of who you are, we would be willing to send her with you after all we want to get her home as well.”
Well shit that wasn’t supposed to happen I don’t really want to go but having the benefits of a noble family is going to be useful and this body’s mother I mean my mother is probably worried about her daughter. Let’s check their names with my Angelic Sight.
Name: Keith Race: Human Class: Guard lv6
Name: Sai Race: Human Class: Guard: lv 8
“Ok I will go with you, but how far away is it?” I asked trying to sound as young as I look in my tone.
“Just about 5 days travel from here, Princess.” Sai responds in a respectful tone. 5 days of walking, I should be able to do that I should probably start training something as I walk maybe trying to act like a princess.
“I don’t want to walk for 5 days.” I say in my best princess like attitude, which is slightly painful to me not in any real way but acting as though I should be entitled to anything just feels wrong after fighting for everything I had on earth.
