My second life
The capital

The capital

The buildings are very tall, but they are recognizable as medieval. A big castle is in the middle of the town. Big walls protect the city. There are signs in Taldane. I see some people wearing weapons and armor and many interesting nonhumans in the city. But the hair color of humans varies from black to brown.However, I have white hair, which means I am not human, but I look pretty human other than my white hair. Maybe thats explains my high strength, my dark vision and my endurance. It's actually not bad. I hope there is not much racism towards nonhumans.

Occasionally, the two adventurers look back at us to check if they lost anyone. I will leave them for the moment. I mean having him guide me to the city is enough, I don't want to cause any more trouble to them. I like to explore the city myself. As I walk through the city I see some magic shops and inns, but sadly I have no money ,which could become a problem in the future. There are some inns with signs only humans on the outside of the buildings. I thought this culture could be more advanced. But there are many shops who don't have these signs. That's very calming. I walk through the town for multiple hours. The buildings are very tall, especially in the center of the town. I walk through a backstreet and see a girl getting harassed by three people in full plate.She has dark brown hair and was 1,50 m (4 feet 9 inchs) here face looks young maybe 15 or 14.Most people who see this just continue to move on. I could not continue my day after witnessing this. I would hate to use violence against them, but if they want to fight me, they can try it. . Hey, I say to the girl. I have been waiting for you for over an hour now. The girl catches on quick ,sorry, I got delayed and that is especially today when I ask you to teach me some martial arts. I look at the people in full plate and crack my knuckles. I thought I was hopeless in this world but with my strength and a small knowledge of unarmed martial arts I should put up a decent fight.

Two of the three people in full plate run away. The third one pulls out a knife and attacks me. I dodge a strike with his knife and concentrate, one hit and it's over for me. I grab his bracer. Using all my strength, I throw him over my back with full force. I destroy a bit of the ground . I think ,Oh god, am I this strong? Using my leg, I block his arm with a knife and disarm him. The girl seems a bit shaken and says with tears in her eyes thank you. I say I am only a simple traveler, there is no need to thank me. Guys like him are disgusting. The girl asks, Are you an adventurer or a student of the knight school or a student of magic with a combat focus? I say, Is it that strange not to be one of them? As I said I am a simple traveller, who arrived in this city today. The girl takes a deep breath and asks me, Could we make our lie real? Could you instruct me in martial arts? I say, In general thats fine, but I must find a place to sleep today. The girl thinks shortly and says , You could sleep at my house and in exchange train me in martial arts. I say, Wait a moment, are you not a bit too young to make such a decision on your own? You look like 15. She looks me in the eyes and says, I am 16 and an adult, but if that soothes you I could ask my parents.

Taking the dagger from the guy wearing full armor, I say, You clearly used it for the wrong purpose. I go in the direction where the two other guards ran away. There is one of them waiting and say to him, I must took care of the guy with the dagger. It would be nice if you could see that he survives. He clearly only was misled. If I ever see one of you doing something like that again I will bring you to the town guards. Dead or alive. I think, of course thats not true. I would like to hurt as few as possible and try to kill nobody. I hope they learned their lesson.

I follow the girl to her parents house. She walks straight to the middle of the city, where the tall houses are. And short for the wall of the castle. That is in the middle of the city. She stops at a great and tall building and says,Thats where I live. I couldn't hide my shock and the girl says, Pretty impressive or not. I wait for a moment and say, Are you a noble? Thats new info couldn't you say that before. I think in my head, damn rich girl. The girl laughed and says, Where is the fun in this? I sigh and say, I hate to be surprised and look at my clothes. I wore a white coat over a shirt and pants. Nothing to fancy. I liked this style of clothes in general. It was pretty good while traveling .But when meeting a noble? I say to the girl, I think that are not the clothes to meet a noble and this is my only set of clothes.
