Adventures Of Ruiz

Chapter 47: The Lonely Travel

This is the story of my very long travel, before I found Elmore.

I left my home town and started to wander around the country. I went from town to town, scaring people instead, and I don't do harm, but they are trying to take me down, and I discovered that I can teleport on a short range, and I found my first powers.

I learned how to used my powers, I can cross through walls, teleport to other location and I don't even need to eat and drink, but I can still feel hunger, so I possessed some people to eat lunch, only to haunt every town I went, causing mob rage and executing those people whom I possess, and also, I could see ghost too, and some of them offered ectoplasm, so I wont starve. I got used to the taste, despite it taste bad, and one of the ghost told me to become an explorer, so I accepted that so I won't get bored while finding a right place for me to stay.

I decided to travel the entire world, I have traveled around the shorelines of Britain, where I really like the view of the ocean. I found a castle, which its supposed to be the Buckingham palace today. I still wandering around the coast, until I decided to head on to the seas.

I manage to find out that I can float through water, with no difficulty, until I got lost at the sea. I don't even know where I am.

After wandering around the sea for two years, I met up with the coastline again, but this time it looks different. The buildings were different, and I realized that I went into another place, in which it is called Spain. The country at that time was very rich because of trading spices, which it was expensive at that time, now you can get 100 grams for 2 dollars. The country itself was also vast, and the people spoke Spanish. I found a traveler who decided to visit this place, he lead me to a library so I can learn Spanish, and it took a while before I manage to master it. Many people don't care that I am a ghost, so they weren't scared at me, and not even a single chaos happened when I live there for a while.

I live in Spain for 50 years, without a single chaos happened. I manage to witness the opening of the Restaurante Botín, the oldest restaurant ever, which its still open this days. I document things that have happened to my journal.

After living in Spain for a long time, I got bored, so in 1744, I head west. I wander around the country until I went into a border of another country, which is France. I went there because the place is even richer, said by the nobles in this place, and I went there to a small town, everything was fine at start, until I saw that they weren't rich, which they don't have a lot of money, but they don't pay a lot of taxes since the nobles cares about them. I asked them, and they ran away, because I am a ghost, but they don't even know what to do, so I head on first on their problems, and they started to respect. I lived with them for another 55 years, and seeing a huge trouble to their country.

Every month, the Nobles came and they are doing a free giveaway to their money, in which in return, pay taxes on the month after that. They weren't struggling, but they are still a bit poor. After observing this cycle, nothing changes, not even a single boost of their wealth, nor a downfall of their wealth. This is the point where I decided to ask the nobles on what is going on. The nobles were actually priest and clergy. The nobles responded to my question, and they said that there is a problem of the capital. They were the first estate class of people, and the problem is those people from the first two estate on Paris, which is the capital, are a bunch of poo poo heads. So I decided to go on Paris, which was fine. People from the Nobility place me as the Second Estate, so I get the benefits from the first estate. I saw everything on what is going on, almost the entire France have inequality, luckily for me, my place that I have stayed wasn't that bad, the inequality was low and everything is fine. 

I stayed in Paris for a month, and I saw a lot of inequality, people are starting to get mad, really mad, and t keep escalating till a point in 1789, where the French Revolution has started. Everything was chaos, and they are killing those two higher estates, which includes me, and I decided to head back to the place where I stayed, bringing the news to them, and telling the church and the clergy that they are in danger. So we decided to come up a plan. We decided to remain anonymous and act as one of the third estate, which where we act poor, but secretly rich. We give people in our place more money and letting them hide it, so they wouldn't attack our ideology.

We kept our identity secret, blending in with the rest of the town, while the entire town are trying to defend us, which it works. the citizens in our town ask us about the situation in the Paris, checking the situation. After getting the information, I went back to my town with the news. The good news is the massacre around the streets was no more, but the bad news is peoples head are being chopped off, sparing no one. Not even the poor were made an exception.

This alarmed our town, causing to be careful on what they will say.

It went on for like 5 more years until the revolution has ended.
