Why me?!
Next on the menu is a rivalry between a guild master and a freelancer. They both want the same thing and both for, brace yourself, different reasons. They both feel they are entitled to the item and that their way is the best way.
She can believe what she wants.
I'm not much a fan of lightening spells, but I could make an exception. I love that people really underestimate my skills. Whether it is my age, race or just my cuteness, I don't really know, but it is a useful thing.
Surprise!
After a little back and forth with the woman I had to make a half day trek to a remote mountain region where some alter was. Once I got there it took a bit of searching for the book.
BBQ...
The book was unharmed at least. I took some time to read the thing and found why the guy was dead. There was a ritual that involved a soul gem, some nightshade and, again brace yourself, a lightening spell. I had all the necessary things and knew I could do it right. Once nightfall came I set about doing what was, as it turns out, an easy ritual. The idiot felt that wearing a big, long, metal object was the right way to go when he preformed the ritual. I am speechless at such stupidity.
What he doesn't know won't kill him.
I so hope that once I'm inn the academy things will be better. I think I will take some time to set up my new home in Anvil. I came across a young girl that was looking for work while I was at the Anvil guild branch and she was willing to help get the house in some semblance of order. I hope she doesn't have a problem with the crypt cause I kinda failed to mention it in the interview.
To Be Continued...
