Relive

Work

I can't believe what just happened. Not only did I die and come back to life, but I also took on 3 armed men and used magic. Who the hell am I?

What did I say again? Oh that's it.

"Dasorath" I said. Nothing happened. That was the word wasn't it. I tried again. "Dasorath"

Nothing. I must be doing something wrong. I remember making a blue wall of magic.

If I'm gonna survive here I need food and drink. And to get that I need to work. Uh.

I walked into the inn and to the innkeeper.

"Do you have any work?" I asked.

"Not any for someone I don't know." he replied. "I need someone trust worthy if they want work.

"Daddy!" The little girl from earlier screamed as she ran in crying.

She embraced the innkeeper.

"What's wrong darling" He asked, obviously worried.

"Three men tried to rob me in an alley."

"WHAT!" He screamed in complete outrage.

"They would've raped me if it weren't for that man there," She said pointing at me. "he's my hero."

"Really? Thank you so much. You've proved yourself trustworthy. About that job."

He told me about a job protecting a caravan to the royal city of Altraz. It paid fifty copper coins a day, enough money for a warm meal and a place to sleep, and free food along the journey.

"I'm in." I said as he handed me a key to a room.

"One night on me. See me in the morning and I'll take you to the caravan. You'll leave at mid day." He said and I was off.

I went and got some sleep for the night before I got on with the long journey ahead.
