Before Isaac had anymore time to think, George had already come knocking on his door. Isaac tossed these thoughts to the back of his mind before heading out, the less he thought of it, the less suspicious he would seem. The two walked shoulder to shoulder as they headed towards the center of the town.
They lived near the edges, right beside the mines, the houses here were much cheaper, and the two wouldn’t need to worry about travelling in the morning. The villagers who were more well off lived closer to the center, whereas the center itself was reserved for the stores and the Berber family. It was a small family that ruled over this village like monarchs. The Berber family had a few mages and some warriors. Isaac knew very little about either of those professions, but he had suspicions that the seed he had found was related to the more mystical side of the world.
Isaac and George quickly arrived and the brothel and headed inside, the were quickly greeted by the ladies, before being guided in. Isaac was still feeling anxious over the seed incident, so he decided to treat himself today to let out some steam.
“You two gentlemen seem to be in a very good mood. I take it you’ve both had a stroke of luck.”
Madam Heliosa, said as she squeezed up against them. She was the boss of this operation, but just because she was a woman didn’t mean you should lower your guard around her. To be able to stay in operation this long, she clearly had trump cards of her own. Isaac suddenly remembered something, this Madam Heliosa was considered well read and was quite intelligent. He remembered in the past when he was wandering around, he managed to sneak a glance into her personal chamber and noticed a bookshelf filled with a nice selection. Isaac felt a lightbulb go off in his head as he came up with a scheme, he cleared his voice as he spoke up with confidence.
“Madam, you are truly sharp. To be honest I’ve heard the saying that any women under this roof can be enjoyed for the right price. Now that I’ve earned a little, I’m wondering, how much to enjoy you Madam?”
Madam Heliosa giggled as she heard this, her large twins were bouncing up and down with her, attracting Isaac’s gaze. He nearly forgot what he was even planning, but fortunately he managed to cool his nerves and regain his senses. George was looking at him like he was a madman. Typically they didn’t mess with this Madam since one wrong word might make them lose their lives. He was starting to wonder if earning those few silvers made Isaac go mad with arrogance. Madam Heliosa eventually stopped laughing before looking at Isaac with some interest in her eyes.

“The saying is true, but I’m just wondering if you can afford the price big fella. To enjoy a night with me will cost you 5 silvers. Are you still so confident?”
Isaac’s eyes nearly flew out of his head, he was suddenly feeling like that seed wasn’t that special after all, but after remembering that feeling it gave off as he held it, he realized that it was definitely worth it. A man had to learn to sacrifice a little today in order to earn a lot tomorrow. Isaac quickly pulled out the 5 silvers without batting an eye, he was the type that would quickly act once he made up his mind. Madam Heliosa looked at him with a bit of surprise in her eyes before swiping the 5 silvers with a grin on her face.
To be honest 5 silvers weren’t much to her, she had only said that price because she wanted to destroy this young man's confidence, but since he came up with the money she naturally couldn’t go back on her word. Isaac felt like a dagger had stabbed into his heart as he watched half of his hard earned money disappear in a flash, but he held back his tears. Madam Heliosa guided him towards her chamber as George looked at him like he was a god. The door was quickly shut as the two got down to business. Isaac quickly forgot about the 5 silver, he also forgot about the seed, he forgot about everything as he enjoyed himself to the fullest. Finally once the fun was over, Isaac’s mind seemed to reboot, and his thoughts rushed back to him. He slowly got up off Madam Heliosa bed before moving towards her bookshelf, she seemed to be fast asleep so this was the perfect chance.
“How To Win A Man’s Heart”
“The Art of Seduction”
“Twelve Steps To Romantic Success”
Isaac quickly flipped through most of, seeing how it was mostly nonsense he was extremely disappointed, but just as the shelf seemed to run out, he found something of interest.
“Mystic Seeds”
Isaac could tell instantly this was what he was looking for. He flipped it open carefully.
“Mystic Seeds can be split into 6 elements based on their color. Red for fire, blue for water, brown for earth, green for wind, black for dark, and white for light. Seeds are further split into ranks based on the amount of stripes they have across their bodies. The magic one wields is naturally based on the element of the seed they absorb. To absorb a Mystic Seed one must cut their forehead, where the mage root is located, and allow the Mystic Seed to feed on the blood.”
Isaac quickly read through the entire book before putting away. He always knew magic existed in this world since he had seen it before, but he never expected he would have a chance to step into this world. However as he realized this, he suddenly felt a chill, for Madam Heliosa to have a book like this meant she might be part of this world, or at least she knew people who were. He quickly pulled out a book titled “World Guide” before acting like it was the only thing that truly caught his attention.
