I slowly walked down the streets of Selucia, trying to avoid the people. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aria. And before you ask, no, I don't have a last name.
Anyways, there's probably some things you need to know about me. I'm 18, although I'm technically 16, but more on that later. I'm an orphan. I've never had any friends or family in my life. Or afterlife. Yes, that's right. I'm a ghost.
I was murdered 2 years ago at age 16, which is what I meant earlier. And yes, murdered. Part of the reason I'm a ghost is because he was never caught, and I want justice.
Back to the story. I was avoiding people because even though they can't see it hear me, (sadly true), they can, to an extent, feel me. It I touch them, I either go through then completely, out they sense that something is there. It I go through them, then they get a chill-down-your-spine feeling, but if they sense me, they just think that a living person bumped into them. I don't want to scare them, so I just avoid them.
Oh, I forgot to tell you what I look like! OK, so I have light purple hair that goes down to my waist. It's really thick so I put half of it into three ponytails above the rest. Before I died it was a really deep black. I also have dark bluish-purple eyes, which used to be a dark emerald color. I'm wearing brown ragged clothing that I've worn almost all my life.
Anyways, for some reason, even though I died, I still need to eat, drink, and sleep. I mean, it's a whole lot less, but still. So, I smelled something amazing! I think it was fresh made bread. I followed the smell to "Jones Bakery", which has the best bread ever!
I slowly snuck over to where I saw some bread cooling on the windowsill. I quickly reached out to grab it, then ran an alley. Even if no one can see me, they would still see floating bread.
I cut into it with my special dagger. It's blade is pure silver and glows like the stars. It's hilt is as white newly fallen snow, with leather where I grip it. I've had it for as long as I can remember. Thankfully, it's invisible, but can still injure people and cut other things. I can also sense some magic in it, just not sure what it is yet.
As I cut off a slice of it, steam rose into the air. I bit into it at savored taste. After a few minutes, all that's left is a few crumbs.
Thankfully when I died, I got really good night vision so i can easily avoid the trash in there. So I walked out of the alley, avoiding pretty much everything. Once I'm out, I hear the villagers talking about a young, silver-haired boy who is traveling around and using magic to help people. Everyone's excited since he is supposed to be heading our way.
I was pretty excited to, seeing as how he seems to be a wizard in training, and all wizards could see ghosts. Maybe this one could help me!
Supposedly, this wizard was really young, going on his travels a few years earlier then most. If that's true, he must be pretty brave. According to the rumors, he's very close to us, so I decide to head out at see if I can spot him.
Once I get there, I see a glint of silver a little less then a mile away. I decide to see if it is him, and if he can see me, and also of her freaks out there are less people to hear him.
As I get closer, I realize it is him. He's got a wizards traveling cloak on, and a magic pack. I study him a little bit, and realize his hair shines like my blade. He looks a little shy, and like a person who frowns no matter what.
I sneak behind him, since the best way to test if he sees me is to scare him. I then jump over him, flipping in midair so that I face him, and yell "BOO!", as loud as I can. At first, he's just shocked at backs away slightly. As he looks closer, his face grows paler and he falls back. Through his fear he manages stammer out, "G-g-g-ghost!"
I start cracking, seeing as how hilarious his face looks right then. I stop and offer him a hand up. He hesitates so I say, " That's right! My name's Aria, and I was wondering if you could help me."

Hey guys! I know that I haven't updated my other stories and I'm sorry about that, but I did this roleplay with some people on Roblox and this idea just popped into my head. Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed the first chapter. The picture above is a drawing of Aria, I will try and also add a picture of what she looks like in the game to. Anyways, leave a vote and follow me! Thanks guys!
