In the morning, I quickly rise my upperbody from the bed while breathing heavily. I saw that dream again, but this time, Sariina was there and like me, she was evil in the dream. I hadn't seen that dream some time, so I thought I won't see it again. Because I rised my body suddenly, Sariina fell off of my chest and woke up. She looks at me with a worried look.
"Are you okay Luc?"(Sariina)
"I'm fine. I just saw a nightmare."(Lucifer)
She then crawls to me and pulls my head into her chest for a hug. She then says:
"Are you sure your fine? You can tell me."
"I'm fine Love. I just hate that dream and it was worse than last time."(Lucifer)
She doesn't say anything. I think she understands, that I don't want to talk about it. She keeps hugging me for five minutes, then she lets me go and I kiss her for a minute. After kissing we get dressed and take our equipment. We go down to have breakfast. After that we leave the mansion and go to the merchant guild. It takes us fifteen minutes to walk there. In front of the guild is a carriage pulled by two horses. We walk up to the carriage with a roof and see a human in his fifties. He has gray hair and beard and brown eyes. He wears brown boots, brown pants, white shirt and brown vest. I ask him:
"Are you the one who made the request?"
He then looks at me and Sariina and says:
"Yes I made the request. I take it you are the two out of the four adventurers who took it."
"Yep. I guess the other two aren't here."(Lucifer)
"You two are the first to arrive."
The merchant says that and we wait for the other two. After a half of an hour of waiting for the other two arrive. They are two female dark elfs.
"So everybody is here. My name is James. The trip will take us ten days and you have to protect me and my cargo. If some cargo is destroyed it will come out of your pockets. Does Everyone understand?"(James)
""""Yes""""(everyone)
"Okay I have few things to do in the guild and then we can start moving. After he leaves, Sariina introduces herself.
"I'm Sariina E rank. I can use water magic and daggers."
"I'm Lucifer A rank. Can use swords and bows. Also know lighting, ice, fire magic."
I won't tell them all of my magics.
"I'm Kara B rank. I can use daggers, bow and wind magic."
"I'm Sara B rank. I can use daggers and throwing knives. Can use wind and dark magic.
"Nice to meet you!"(Lucifer and Sariina)
"Likewise!"(Sara and Kara)
Sara is with red eyes, silver hair and Kara with silver eyes and red hair. Both have the same beautiful face, pointy elf ears and light brown skin. Both are about 180 cm tall with normal chest. I think they are twins. They both wear black boots, brown pants, black shirt and a black coat with a large hood. Both have two daggers. Kara has a quiver and a bow behind her back and Sara has two knife pouches on her legs like me. We wait for five minutes and James comes back.
"Okay everyone get on, we are leaving!"(James)
We all get on, of course ladies first. James is driving the carriage, me and Sariina sit on one side and the twins on the other side. We have beed riding the carriage about a hour when I sense something. I blink onto the roof. Sariina sticks her head out of the carriages and asks:
"What's wrong Luc?"
"Bandits."(Lucifer)
I blink next to James and tell him:
"A group of bandits 1km away. They are blocking the way."
"Ok. So what's your plan?"(James)
"I will go ahead and kill them."
After I said that I jumped on top of the tree and started to jump from tree to tree. It takes me thirty seconds to reach there. Once I'm there I see ten bandits. I use [Chain lighting] and electrocute them all. I jump down from the tree and take their money. I got 3 gold coins, 59 silver coins and 147 copper coins. I start moving the bodies out of the road and once I'm finished, I see the carriage approaching. Once the carriage stops next to me I say:
"All dead."
"I understand."(James)
I go back to the carriage and the twins are with surprised faces.

"How many bandits were there?"(Kara)
"Ten."(Lucifer)
"You killed them so fast and even cleared the road with such a short time. I'm a little impressed."(Kara)
"Same here."(Sara)
"Thanks for the praise."(Lucifer)
After I say that, Sariina elbows me in the stomach. Because my stats are high it didn't hurt me and I basically ignored it.
"Hey Lucifer. What race are you? I know you are not a human, but I can't say exactly your race."(Sara)
"I won't give you a straight answer so here is couple of hints: I'm not from the main races and my races population is small."(Lucifer)
"Can't you give us a straight answer?"(Sara)
"And where will be the fun in that?"(Lucifer)
"Well, can you give us a third hint?"(Sara)
"I have wings."(Lucifer)
I really don't care if people find out about my race, but I have to make sure the human kingdom won't hear about me.
After that the twins start to think.
We have now been riding the carriage for about ten hours. At least that is what I can tell by the suns position. We stop and decide to set up a camp. Kara went hunting and the rest set up the camp. I put up the tent I had, when I went to the beastmen kingdom with Sariina. The twins had their own tent and James said, that he will sleep in the carriage. Once we had put up the tents, Kara came back with a horned bear.
"Nice catch."(Lucifer)
"Thank you!"(Kara)
After that Kara skins the bear and Sariina cooks it. It was pretty good, but little chewy. We decided that Kara and Sara will take the first watch and me and Sariina will take the second one. I told Sariina that she doesn't have to and she can sleep, because I don't really have to sleep. When the sun went down me, Sariina and James went to sleep and the twins stayed awake. When we entered the tent, Sariina asked:
"What are your thoughts about them?"
"Don't have any right now. I haven't seen them fight. I can tell they are strong, but nothing more."(Lucifer)
I say that and remove my clothes. Sariina does the same. I lay down on the bed and Sariina on my left hand
"Good night Love!"(Lucifer)
"Good night Luc!"
After she says that I give her a kiss and we go to sleep. About three hours later I wake up and decide to go out. I dress up and leave the tent. I see twins sitting in front of the fire. I walk up to them and say:
"You can go to sleep, I will take the guard now."
"Yeah thanks."(Kara)
"Hey Lucifer. I figured out your race."(Sara)
"And what is it Sara?"(Lucifer)
"You're a fallen angel."(Sara)
"Ooh. You have figured it out pretty quickly, but how did you know I'm a fallen angel and not a regular angel?"(Lucifer)
"I can't sense anything holy from you, so you can't be an angel, so you must be a fallen angel."(Sara)
"I'm impressed. You're pretty smart."(Lucifer)
"Thank you for the compliment!"(Sara)
After that Kara asks:
"Lucifer. What are your thoughts about the human hero?"
"I hate him."(Lucifer)
"Why? What did he do to you?"(Kara)
"Can't tell."(Lucifer)
"And what are your thoughts about him?"
I ask them and they think for a minute. Then Sara says:
"He has gotten power hungry."
"I agree, also he is an asshole. I heard that he plays with woman and after he's done with them, he throws then away. It happened to one of our friends. We also hate him, but our reason to hate him is different. Right?"(Kara)
"Yep. Now go get some sleep."(Lucifer)
"Good night!"(Sara and Kara)
"Good night!"
I say to them and they go to their tent to sleep. I start looking at the fire and think:
so the hero likes to play with women for his own pleasure. As I keep thinking I sense something for a moment.
"I could feel someone watching me for a moment."
I say to myself. I could feel someone watching me when I left the town, but I ignored it. So who is following me and why? With that thought I watch the fire burning.
