This was much more serious than I thought it would be, the Blackheart family is considered so great, that at times it was on equal footing with the king's family, not to mention that her dad was the king. That's when I realized that if I successfully turned her in unharmed I might get a load of money, and that would help on the trip, but what would they even give me? I’m only 15 and they don’t exactly think that I know what I’m doing, still, it was worth a try. The boss guy already finished his break and I realized that if I approach them all at once, I could die and I would be known as crazy, but it was worth a try. Dusk soon fell over the sky and I made my plan, I wanted revenge on the metal man so I would charge at him first, then take out the rest if I could. I executed my plan and I can’t say it went too bad… I charged like I said I would and he used the move to knock me out when I was dreaming but I was prepared, I sidestepped his attack and used my earth skill to poke his eyes out. Although he could no longer see, he would still attack like a madman, and I used that to my advantage, I hid behind their boss and the metal guy took him out for me with no hesitation. He also thought he had hit me so while he was still confused about who he hit, I silently went behind and hit on the back of the neck as hard as I could, and he fell face forward toward the ground. The only two guys left were the ki blade and water user. The blade user lit his arm up with ki and it exploded into a beautiful blade, he went for the up-down trick but it is easily dodgeable, and this time I made my rock dull. Why I made it dull? I’m helping this girl and I’m only fifteen, I’m not here to murder. Either way, the dull rock hit him in the head hard, and he flopped down with the rest of his buddies. After seeing what a mere fifteen-year-old guy can do, the water gangster ran. I untied the girl's arms and took off the muzzle and her voice was sweet, and I sort of felt guilty even thinking of leaving her here. I took a look at her for the first time and she had long black hair with glistening brown eyes, but it would be awkward more me to keep staring. I told her,
“I’ll take you back to your family, which one are you heading to?”
“My moms.” Although the Blackhearts weren’t great with rewards, she said it way too sweetly, I just couldn’t resist. This girl's name was Isabelle, and she asked me what I’m doing right now along with some other questions. It sounded as if she was around my age, maybe younger one year or so, but I was trying to stay on the task at hand, I asked her to lead me to her home and it turns out that she’s great with directions unlike me. We walked about ten more minutes until I was on my knees looking at the drop-dead gorgeous mansion of the Blackhearts, she seemed to make some sort of smile when she knocked on the door, and the person who answered was Marina Blackheart. Head of the Blackheart resident and the only one who’s known for their kindness, she immediately embraced her daughter, and they looked exactly the same, just one had matured and was taller. She seemed suspicious of me though, I would be too if a dirty boy who looked like he was homeless showed up at their mansion with their daughter.
“Who’s this young lad?”
“That's the guy who saved me from the men who took me, hostage.”
“This little guy? Sounds unbelievable, but if he saved my beloved daughter, I shall reward him.” That made me want to stay here longer, I wanted to ask how much she would give me but I’m in the presence of royalty, I may not have proper education but I was great with manners. I bowed down in thanks, and Marina said she’d be down with the money in a bit. She came back down and I took a look inside the bag and it was like my face glowed up of all the shining gold in there, I said I would now be on my way and I started towards the road. I was just imagining what I could do with all this gold, and the first thing that came to mind was a messenger wind hawk so that I could let the Bluelands know I’m coming and so I could keep in touch with my parents back at the shed. Thinking all those things made me run with all my legs’ strength, and then I stopped to think about the nearest store, which was fifteen yards away. To you it might not seem like much because you can use wind attributes to run like the wind or lightning attributes to get there at the speed of light but may I remind you, other than this newfound earth I still didn’t have powers. I started walking towards the trade market fifteen yards away and it seemed like hours until I passed five of them, ten more to go… I eventually reached the store and I got myself a sword, a shield, a spear, and everything essential to battle, like this, I could choose how I want to battle and I would have the supplies for it. Then I went to the messenger store to see how much wind hawks were but the prices were atrocious, I needed to spend all of my money on a single bird, I can’t say it didn’t feel like a waste. Before I knew it I was already feeling the wind, this little bird here might have had more ki than me, which was a little sad to me but I was feeling a greater wind, it was as if there were two winds, I looked over to see some sort of carriage. I came closer and I blinked and the carriage was in front of me, there were two wind horses pulling and what came out was Marina, she told me that her fourteen-year-old daughter wanted to join me on my little quest.
