Chapter Four

INTO THE WOODS

ALICE

Escaping into the forest and following the brook seemed like a really good idea when Alice had first come up with it. She hadn't taken into consideration things like "Caeda can get cold" or "They might come after us." Caeda had been dressed for travel in the cold, wet weather when the caravan she had been traveling with was captured. She didn't say a lot about what happened to the others, but from what Alice picked up in context, she could hardly blame her. They'd not had much time for conversation in either case. As soon as they'd gotten out of the camp, Alice had led them straight for the brook. She'd ended up needing to carry Caeda in the shallows near the shore to keep her from getting wet and freezing to death. For her part, Alice was happy to find it was as comfortable as walking on the beach in the middle of summer. She was also relieved to find that her legs did not turn into a mermaid tail when she entered the brook. The only change was her sharp increase in mana and stamina regeneration. When she realized she was going to need to carry Caeda, she'd figured she could make it a few hundred yards, and then they were going to need to find another plan to avoid being tracked. The girl felt like she weighed all of a hundred pounds, winter clothing included, but even that was a lot for Alice to carry on her back, especially with her stamina almost fully depleted. The comforting embrace of the brook as she entered the water had been a welcome surprise, and she only just resisted letting herself fall in face-first.

Moving with the unending stamina granted by the brook and the help of the current, they had made fantastic time. Caeda had fallen asleep on her back at some point, and Alice couldn't blame her. At first, the girl had been fretting about Alice getting frostbite, constantly looking over her shoulder for pursuers, and doing her best to keep her arms and legs wrapped around Alice. Eventually, she tired herself enough to relax into Alice's arms, and not long after, passed out with her head on Alice's shoulder, small quiet snores fading in the rain. Alice had used the time to practice her [Hydrokinesis] and keep the water from falling under the girl's hood, while doing her best to keep rain from hitting her. That was an impossible task, but a really good way to practice and pass the time. She'd made it well past sunrise when Caeda woke up, and they'd decided to take a break. With how far they'd gone and how unlikely Alice thought it would be that they could be tracked in the brook, they decided it was safe to rest for a bit. At first, this amounted to resting under the boughs of a large evergreen next to the brook. It was on a slope, and Caeda was able to sit against the tree and stay mostly dry. Alice had sat on the edge of the brook, watching the small fish pass by, playing with the water and relaxing.

That was until she heard a crunch and realized she had snatched up a passing crawfish and idly thrown it into her mouth. After her initial surprised pause, she bit again and then chewed normally. She'd never eaten crawfish uncooked or whole before – but it tasted good. Pure, even. And she had no problem just crunching it down. She couldn't help but laugh at the notion. Her, Alice, loving food for being "pure." She loved food, especially anything that was a guilty pleasure. It had worked out fine for her, though. She was young, exercised every day, and was very active, so she could really get away with anything. Not like her sisters. They were both much more reserved and image-conscious. She rarely saw them after their parents split, and both of them stayed with her mother. They got along fine, but their parent's breakup had been a messy one. Alice didn't want to take sides, and she didn't want her dad to be alone, so when he'd decided to move to Georgia, she'd packed up and gone with him. Now, they tried to get together once or twice a year for holidays, so long as their parents could stand each other long enough. Alice caught a few more crawfish and even a few smaller fish that swam past while she reminisced. It was incredibly easy after all that practice with [Hydrokinesis]. She just nudged them right into her hands. When she'd taken the edge off her hunger, she sighed, stood up, and began looking for firewood.

Caeda was very quiet, and Alice could only assume she was still adjusting to her circumstances. She didn't really seem to even understand what Alice was doing as she piled up branches and smaller brush to use for kindling. Finding dry materials would be impossible, but Alice didn't really have to worry about that. So, soon enough, she had a perfect firepit set and was hard at work getting some sparks going as Caeda watched in awe. Drawing the moisture out of the wood was as easy as pie. Once the fire was going, Caeda was beside it in an instant.

"T-thanks, Alice," She managed.

Alice beamed at her new friend. "No problem! I’m gonna see if I can rustle up some food. You stay here and get warm."

"You really are a [Hero] then?" "Sure does look like it," Alice said with a wink before turning back to the stream.

With little else to use for a container, Alice lifted the skirt of her dress, using it as a makeshift basket, and began to fill it with crawfish she caught from the stream. She had an idea about how she might cook or steam them, but [Hydrokinesis] wasn't cutting it. She wanted to create a floating ball of water to keep the crawfish in and just keep it over the fire until they were cooked, but as good as the skill was at moving water, holding that much in the air was beyond her. But after a quick check of her character sheet, she found another option. She had a skill, [Water Mana Manipulation]. Unlike her trait, [Hydrokinesis], the skill could be leveled up and would get more powerful, or so she assumed. So, she tried that. It was good that she wanted to catch a lot of crawfish because it took her much longer than expected to actually figure out how to use the skill. She kept ending up just using [Hydrokinesis] on accident, until she tried using [Water Mana Manipulation] as magic instead of thought. It was different than using the magic in [Healing Touch] but came just as naturally once she figured out what to do. Forming water into a ball was simple, even. She had trouble making it bigger than a marble, but she kept at it. She could feel her mana draining, but also that she was using ambient mana around her to assist. Even sitting in the brook, she knew she'd need to rest soon, but then she heard a chime.

• You have improved your [Water Mana Manipulation] Skill. Level 2. 

It had only taken a minute of concentration, and already, things had gotten easier. Alice grinned and kept going. When she was having trouble keeping all the crawfish she'd captured contained in her makeshift pouch and had a basketball-sized ball of water steadily held, she was ready to start their brunch. Carefully, she began moving the crawfish into the ball of water and quickly learned that she had to focus to keep them from just swimming out. She'd caught a couple dozen of the critters, and she only lost six learning this lesson, but it paid off in the end.

• You have improved your [Water Mana Manipulation] Skill. Level 3. 

• Congratulations. Through your actions, you have unlocked the spell [Water Prison]! 

The unexpected chime almost cost her the concentration she needed for the spell, but her sudden improved understanding of what she was doing made her entire plan much easier. With careful concentration, she moved the ball of water toward the fire and let it hover just overhead.

"So, you're a mage, too?" Caeda asked, staring enthralled at the ball of water full of swimming crawfish.

Alice sat in the water, maintaining her focus, but answered, "I figure my class is a mix of a mage and a healer. It's called Mystic of the Waves. I think it's pretty cool."

"I wish I was a mage," Caeda said with a sigh, making Alice curious.

"So, what’s your class, anyhow?"

Caeda finally looked away from the spell, shooting her a hurt look. "I'm not a classer."

"Oh," Alice said, confused. "Is that normal?"

Caeda seemed to relax some at the question. "I forgot you're not from here. It is normal. Classers are rare. Mages are the most rare. My uncle is a mage, but I didn't get a class. Most people who are going to will get them by the time they're fourteen or so. It is rare to unlock one after that. We did what we could to help make sure I would be a mage too, but it wasn't enough, I guess."

Alice began experimenting, trying to use magic to heat the water and help things along, but asked, "So, what’d you do, anyway? To make it easier to unlock a class, I mean?"

"Studying, mostly. I unlocked the [Light] spell and [Arcane Mana Manipulation] skill, but even with all the books we could find, my parents and me, I mean, that is as far as I could get. Mages are very secretive about their spells. I don't know if learning more would have helped anyway."

Alice frowned, "That seems kinda silly. Keepin' secrets don't help anyone. What about your uncle?"

"He died long before I was born. I never knew him."

"Well, I ain't no expert mage, but maybe as I figure things out, I can help you too," Alice said, smiling as she realized her experiments were working to heat the water up more quickly, just as she was rewarded for her efforts.

• You have improved your [Water Mana Manipulation] Skill. Level 4. 

• Congratulations. Through your actions, you have unlocked the spell [Hydronic Flow]!

With a grin, Alice said, "Why don't you show me that light spell of yours?"

Caeda reached out a hand and said, "It's nothing special. [Light]." With her words, a pale ball of light the size of a small lightbulb appeared on her outstretched fingertips. "And I think it's too late for me, anyhow. But now that my master is dead and everything we had was stolen, I won't be learning any more about alchemy. I might as well learn some more magic."

Alice nodded along sadly as she started using [Hydrokinesis] to circulate the escaping steam back into the bottom of her [Water Prison]. "I'm real sorry to hear about your master. So, you were gonna be an alchemist, then? Say, do you think you could split that ball up some? Maybe make a few smaller ones, you know, like a little cloud? Maybe even try to make some different colors?"

Caeda's face scrunched up in confusion as she asked, "Why? I mean. I can try," before focusing on the light in concentration. "Yes. I was Caeda the Apprentice until they found us. I don't know what I'm going to do when I get home."

The anxiety returning to her voice made Alice's heart hurt, "Let's focus on gettin' home first, and then we can worry about the future. If you take everything one step at a time, it'll all work out in the end."

Just then, Caeda's small ball of light fractured into a small cloud of swirling lights, and she gasped.

Alice let out a small laugh and clapped, "See? You're doin' great! Where's home, anyway?"

"Irvine's Ferry, east of here. It's a popular place for merchants to find alchemy regents, and it's right on the Dragonspine River. Once you get away from the docks, though, It's a quiet, peaceful town. Most people there make a living gathering herbs, running small dairy farms, or fishing. There's even someone who trains horses. They're fun to watch riding through the town. We had two alchemists, just one now. Anyway, everything ends up being bartered and traded at the docks."

They sat there like that for several minutes as Caeda told Alice about her home, a place that sounded bigger than Alice expected as she went on and what growing up there was like. It sounded like the perfect place to live. Hidden away in the forest with only a single road leading in or out past the natural barriers, and most trade and travelers coming by barge or ferry. The most dangerous thing they'd dealt with in a long time was arguments over who could pick which flower in the forest. In the last couple of months, many more of the valuable and rare herbs and plants had been growing along the river, too. For her part, Alice was happy to watch her [Water Prison] slowly raise up to level three, [Water Mana Manipulation] tick over to four, and [Hydronic Flow] push all the way up to six. The crawfish were just turning the right shade of red to indicate that they were done when the cloud of lights began to sparkle with reds, yellows, and blues mixed in with the white.

"I did it!" Caeda nearly shouted. I got a new skill and a new spell! I—" She was cut off as her entire body flashed a bright white that quickly faded. She sat up ramrod straight, eyes wide.

"Uh, Caeda, you ok?"

"I got a class… Did you do that? Is this a [Hero] thing?!"

Alice snorted, "Hon, if I could just go 'bout handin' out classes, I'd have done that from the start! No, you just did that yourself! Congrats!"

"But how did you know? I only did what you said!" Caeda asked, still shocked.

Alice shrugged, "Just made sense to me. I figured if you didn't get it, you just needed to meet more requirements, that's all. I've been gettin' new skills and spells doin' the same stuff."

"But.. what is a Light Mage? I think it's tier two, but I've never heard of it. What good is that as a class? I could already make light." Caeda spoke as if she were unsure if she were excited or disappointed, so Alice decided to nudge her in the right direction.

"You can do a lot of things with light. Brighten a room, flash it so folks can't see, take all the light away. Make a tight beam of light that can burn or melt things, focus the light of the sun to do the same. Make illusions of things that ain't really there. Bend light 'round things that are there so people can't see 'em. Heck, use it to communicate over long distances. Light is incredibly useful and powerful."

Caeda finally smiled, "Yeah, I guess it is! I'm a mage! Thank you so much, Alice!"

"You can save the thanks for now. You ain't seen nothin' yet. Just wait 'till you get a taste of these critters."

They spent the next hour eating as Alice did her best to show Caeda how to properly eat crawfish, what was and wasn't safe or good to eat, and how to take them apart. Then, she threw all that out the window by picking one up and popping the entire thing into her mouth. Waste not, want not, after all. Besides, Alice kind of liked feeling like a shark. It was the most Caeda had gotten to eat in days and Alice's first real meal of her new life. As they sat by the fire delaying leaving as long as they could justify, Alice finally asked Caeda something that had been on her mind for a while.

"You seem to be havin' an easier time talkin' now. Was that an act for the bandits?"

Caeda blinked up at her in surprise, "Oh. Well, partly. I was terrified, and I was freezing. They thought I was a child. It was the only thing that saved me. Almost our entire party was humans, with two other elves, but I was the only wood elf. Their leader said the gods don't look kindly on anyone murdering or raping children, so they made me cook until you came. Then, I was in that tent. They wouldn't let me have a fire. They said it was to make sure you stayed weak. I didn't understand why they were so careful with you until you escaped."

"Do wood elves look younger than other elves? How old are you? If you don't mind me askin', I mean."

"I don't mind. I turn twenty this spring."

"That's good to hear. Means you'll be worth selling after all," a gruff voice said from just across the brook.

Both Alice and Caeda snapped around to see a man dressed in heavy leather clothing step out from behind a tree with a bow. Another two men stepped out from further away. Alice quickly searched out with [Hydrokinesis] for any more but found none near them. She started to stand, but the man quickly raised the bow, aiming for her chest.

"Easy there, [Hero]. You're still level one. I can put you down quick. Keep your hands where I can see them, and don't make any sudden moves."

Alice slowly moved to put herself between the archer and Caeda, but he made no move to try and cross the brook, its flow twelve feet across at the point they were standing, if only four or five feet deep. His friends moved to join him, and they both looked around the far banks as if they might jump across.

"I think you boys oughta pretend you didn't see us and move along," Alice said with fear and anger in equal measure. "You don't wanna ride this train."

The bowman laughed, "Lady, I don't know what that means, but you're coming with us. Peaceful or in chains, it doesn't matter to me."

"What do you even want with me anyway? I heard your boss say you can't touch me. All you're gonna do is make an enemy that's guaranteed to come after you one day." All three men laughed at that, and he replied, "Haven't figured that out? Whatever country wants to try to go to war with The Spires first is going to pay big for you. And then what? You'll be locked away for years while they train you up. You'll be too brainwashed to remember anything about us. Now get over here and don't make us chase you and we'll make this easier on you. I'll even let you keep your little friend."

"You promise not to hurt her?" Alice asked, only to get a nod in return, "Fine. We're comin'. Caeda, get on my back, hon."

The elf didn't move at first, and Alice wasn't willing to take her eyes off the men to check on her, but eventually, she felt Caeda's hands rest on her shoulders, and she knelt down so she could throw her legs up into a piggyback ride. Her mind was already racing to find a way to help them escape. Just as Alice took her first step into the water, four small green forms landed on the man in the rear of the group. He screamed out, but as knives plunged into his back and chest over and over, it was quickly cut off. The archer turned, aimed, and fired a shot into one of the small green monsters, and the last of his party charged in, short sword in hand, but more were already pouring out of the forest behind them.

"Goblins!" Caeda whisper-shouted in Alice's ear, and they both froze in fascination as the battle played out. The bandits were terribly outnumbered, but the way they moved was unreal. The initial ambush had killed one of them as they took him by surprise, but the other two were easily taking down the small party of monsters. A dozen quickly became eight, and Alice knew her chance to do something was rapidly disappearing. Looking at the bunched-up, wild melee, she cast the first offensive spell that came to mind. As the [Whirlpool] took shape around the battle, it was more than large enough to capture all of them, but it hardly staggered the bandits. The goblins were effortlessly picked up and tossed around, but as she continued to channel the spell, more water was pulled in, and the spell grew in strength. A second ticked by, and then another as both rogues stumbled and then were jerked to the side and began to stagger around in the vortex. Then, another second, and everyone and everything on the shoreline was lost in a vicious swirl. As Alice's mana dropped, she stepped deeper into the brook, hoping it would help. It did, but not enough. After nearly ten seconds, all the screaming had stopped, with the bodies, rocks, logs, and weapons all slamming into each other. She had several notifications, but she was afraid to check them as she finally released the spell. The water, debris, and bodies flew out in every direction.

"Wow," Caeda muttered as they took in the destruction. Alice couldn't help but agree. As she stood there taking in the aftermath, she could already feel the brook restoring her mana. She briefly thought about searching the bodies for any supplies they might have, but she knew everything she needed she could find in the water. What she didn't know was if there were more of the bandits coming or if that was all of the goblins.

"I think we need to go. We can just keep walking until I'm too exhausted to continue and make camp. I'll keep us in the brook. This must just be a scouting party to see if they could figure out which direction we went in."

She felt Caeda nod behind her, but just as she started to turn to leave, the bandit spoke, "No. No, you're not going anywhere. One step, and I'll kill you both."

Alice looked back to see the man staggering to his feet, dagger in hand, as he pulled himself out of the brook. He looked more than half drowned and frozen. The odd angle of his left arm made it obvious it was broken, and blood was seeping from several wounds. Alice didn't hesitate. Her [Water Prison] came out of the brook like the jaws of a shark, slamming shut around the man and pulling him back into the water. His dagger flashed out, cutting a rend in the bubble that quickly sealed but had let some of the spell spill away. Seeing his plan, she quickly cast [Hydronic Flow]. Casting the second spell at the same time felt like she was pushing too much water through too small of a hose, but she held on and fought through the combination. Her second spell began draining the heat from the water at an incredible rate. It didn't freeze, but the already frigid water became arctic in only a few seconds. The bandit's swings kept coming, and her [Water Prison] continued to shrink, with his legs from the knees down hanging free into the water below in only attacks, but every swing he took was slower than the last. His eyes got wider and wider as he fought, filling with pain and desperation as he stared directly at her. Alice didn't look away, and she didn't release the spell, either. He didn't look afraid, and the only thing more obvious in his expression than the pain was anger. Their duel seemed to go on for an eternity as she kept her gaze locked with his, spending all her concentration fighting against the trauma he was inflicting on her spells with every slash. With her [Water Prison] more than halfway gone, the water filled with a sudden burst of air from his mouth, and his arms fell limp, his entire body going into a weak seizure. Alice only watched for several long seconds. She didn't release the spell until a notification confirmed his death, and only then did she realize that the water running down her face wasn't only the rain. Without another word, she turned and began walking downstream.

It was a few hours later before Alice was feeling up to conversation again, and she wanted a break. The non-stop care to keep as quiet as possible while keeping an eye out for anything nearing the water's edge had been wearing on her. She had been looking for a place to get them out of the rain to rest for a while and intended to head for the first promising spot she could find. The brook had lost its shoreline miles back as it turned into a cut bank that was never less than two feet deep. The trees grew right up to the water now, often with roots hanging down and seeming to hold the banks in place. Even walking along the edge, there were places where the water would easily reach Alice's chest, and they'd had to do a weird mid-brook shuffle to get Caeda up onto her shoulders. It was enough to keep her mostly dry, and she was very tough about suffering through the spots where water would make its way into her boots. It was easier to deal with knowing that Alice would pull the water out as soon as they made it past the deeper sections. The forest put them in darkness before the sun had even set behind the clouds, leaving them with Caeda's magic as their only source of light, and they were very fortunate to spot a large stone leaning on another that might provide them some shelter for the night. Alice did her best to find a good spot to climb out of the brook, though with it at chest height again, the best she could do was a spot where some sturdy-looking roots were leaning into the water. Caeda was able to grab on and climb out easily enough, but she had to give Alice a hand.

Alice took only a moment to dry Caeda's clothes, and then they walked side by side to inspect their find. As they approached, Alice was careful to feel for anyone or anything present in the area, but nothing larger than a rodent was nearby. The pile of rocks they had found turned out to be part of an old stone building. One of its walls had survived, providing a lean-to, and most of the area inside was protected from the rain. It was still damp, everything was, but it would let them rest with a safe place for a fire and keep the rain from pelting them all night. This time, Caeda came with Alice to help her gather firewood and paid close attention as she set up their firepit, helping gather rocks and doing her best to memorize how to start a fire without tools. It helped that Alice was careful to explain things step by step, just like her father had done for her, once she realized Caeda wanted to learn. It was also, in a way, a good icebreaker for them to have a real conversation again.

"You seem to know a lot about surviving in the wild," Caeda told her as they sat by their slowly growing fire.

Alice gave a small smile as she stared into the flames. "Yeah, my dad loved campin' and huntin'. All that survival know-how was a hobby of his. He took me with him sometimes and taught me some, too."

"My family is more about herbalism. There was never a lot of need to learn things like this… Alice, If you want, you can stay with us for a while until you're settled in. We can practice magic together – And our house even has a roof that will keep the rain off."

Alice looked up to Caeda at that, "That's real sweet, but I wouldn’t wanna impose, and I think I need to find that other [Hero]."

"Oh, it's no imposition at all. You rescued me. It's the least I could offer. Besides, our town has a lot of trade. We get news faster than most places outside a major city. Once you figure out what direction you need to be going in, having the river there would help you get moving in the right direction, too."

"That's a real good point. Well, let's get there and see how things go."

As they settled in to rest for the evening and Caeda volunteered to take the first watch, Alice finally looked through her notifications. She had been avoiding it, but with so much time for reflection, she realized she didn't feel guilty about the people she'd killed. She wasn't happy about it, and watching someone drown in her spell was going to haunt her for some time – but those people had meant her and her friend harm. They got what was coming to them. She was more upset because neither Caeda nor her deserved to go through any of that. Still, it was a stark contrast in the formatting of the notifications between killing humans and killing monsters.

* Experience is awarded for defeating a monster.

* Defeated - Ranger, level 16. Experience is awarded.

It was as if the system was discounting the goblins, who certainly looked like very small people, as nothing. She also noted the "Defeated," not "Murdered," and that did help her feel justified in defending herself. She did her best to ignore the seven other goblins and two other bandits she'd killed and moved on to the notifications that mattered.

It was a lot more than Alice had expected. She hadn't thought her short stints of treading water had counted as swimming, and certainly not enough to level the skill, but her increases in stealth concerned her more. She had a feeling it wouldn't have gone up unless she had avoided someone or something. When she reached her level-up notification, she was a little confused until she realized it was consolidating two levels. In fact, all of her notifications looked to be consolidations, except the kill notifications.

Distributing her points took more thought this time. She'd learned a lot, like dump all of her skill points into [Poison Resistance] if she didn't want to be kidnapped and sold off as a slave. Following her own advice, she brought that skill up to thirty-one. She could only hope that it was close to being a good enough level to survive in this world. As much as she wanted to put all of her attribute points into Wisdom and Arcana again, nearly dying and then carrying her new friend for miles and miles down a river had made her well aware that she needed to shore up her physical attributes just a little. Unsure which was the better option, she put five points in her Constitution and Resilience each. She briefly considered putting the remaining ten in Strength, but if she could already do what she needed, albeit under strain, with eight, she should be fine with only using five, and she could save the last five for Dexterity. She could be above average in all of her attributes, so she could focus on her mental and magical attributes from then on. If she found any shortcomings in the future, she would figure out magic to fix them. She was a mage, after all. Feeling confident in her decisions again, she allocated her points. All that was left were her spell points. She'd entirely forgotten to try and protect Caeda or herself with [Water Shield], but she knew that was a spell she didn't want to level up the hard way. Her spell points went directly into it, and she vowed to begin testing it after she slept.

Her mind was worn thin from the past few days, and she was ready to sleep. With one final check of her status, she closed her eyes.
