3. In Town

"It doesn't look bad." I said after looking at the town from the inside. 

City of trade and salesmen - Jerven. 

We just arrived in it but it was really nice. 

There were a lot of shops and other buildings. People lived slow lives and they looked happy. 

In the centre of the city there was a big building. There lived baron and his family. 

On top of the building I could see a big tower. It was a mages guild. One of many anyway. 

This one was small and there lived only one mage. 

My sworn enemy.

"We need to go there." I said and started walking towards the building. 

"I don't think they will let us in." 

"We won't know untill we try." I replied to Morgana. 

"Don't be stupid. Look at yourself. You look like some beggar. One cute beggar." she said and raised me in her hands.

"Can you put me down?!" I said with anger. 

"Don't be like this. Let's buy some clothes! I will pay for everything!" Morgana replied and released me.

To be honest I felt bad about this situation. 

She left her house to go with me. I can't just rely one her too much. 

"I don't want you to buy me anything. You helped me enough." 

"Don't be like that. No one comes to that forest anyway and staying with you is funn... I mean important." one more time she said something weird but I didn't care. 

I didn't care because I saw them. People playing poker on the small table. 

"Stay here for a moment." I said to Morgana and went to them. 

There were 3 people there.

One of them looked really happy and had a lot of money with him. When he saw me he greeted me. 

"Hello little girl why are you... OH your clothes stink!"

Don't hit him.  Just don't hit him. 

"I want to play." 

"Aren't you a little too young?" 

"I want to play!" 

When I said it he looked at me. 

I don't know what he was thinking about but after a moment he laughed and started speaking. 

"Ok, ok, you can play. Do you have anything valuable with you?" 

After hearing that I smiled and opened my pocket. There I had a big crystal. You couldn't use it to pay for things in shops but a lot of people would pay a good amount of money for it. Once I used it for my magic but after that I never needed it. Now I can use it. 

When I showed him what I had he stopped playing and told other guys to leave him. Without saying a word they left crying and after that he told me to sit with him. 

Then we started playing.

Of course I forgot to tell him one important thing. I'm the best player in the mage guild. Well I was before they threw me out but let's not talk about it. 

After about 10 minutes I returned to Morgana with a lot of money. 

"Let's go buy some clothes." I said and she just smiled.
