Her green eyes pierced the market in search for supplies in her journey. Looking for an opportunity as she hid in her hood grabbing treasures from local merchants. Placing all her stolen goods in her pockets she smirked as she got away, or so she thought.
"You bitch! Thief!" a merchant screamed making the crowd turn facing her. A knife pressed against her throat so she wouldn't move a muscle.
"Dammit" she muttered under her breath. She tried to figure out an escape frantically as the man pressed the blade closer to her throat, blood dripped slowly as he did so.
He pulled off her cloak revealing the stolen treasures, all the loot falling to the floor. "Tell me thief what's your name" he threw her into mud in disgust mud splashing as she fell.
She turned to face him pissed of she kicked him in the groin "It's Lindsay" she smiled, grabbing all that she could she ran off with golds and gems putting back on her hoody.
He groaned in pain "After her!" he said weakly in pain.
She laughed running away, climbing buildings, jumping from rooftop to rooftop it didn't take much to escape them. After all they were citizens not well trained guards. She shimmied down a drain pipe looking behind, making sure no one found her. "Damn that was close." She rubbed her neck knowing she had to leave town soon before word traveled about her act.
She walked many streets furthering herself from where she was caught before finding a merchant with many fine stallions. "How much for your best stallion?" she had her eyes on a white one with a long black mane.
"Hmmm I would say about five coins." the horse owner walked towards her with their best horse.
She dropped a bag of 10 coins. "Keep the change and don't tell anyone I was here unless you wish for trouble."
"Fine but I must warn you before you leave a storm is heading this way be careful in the darker parts of the forest" they grabbed the bag giving her the horse.
Lindsay nodded mounting the horse"'I'll be safe." She rode the horse out of town not long after hearing thunder, rain started to pour on her. She sighed searching for shelter for the time being.
Searching for a quick path she found one which look almost abandoned but had to lead somewhere to at least hide out from the storm. Following the dark eerie path she made sure to keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
About an hour passed, Lindsay found the trail only lead to a cave. Sighing she settled deciding to rest there for the night. She tied the horse lead line to a sturdy branch feeding it an apple, then started to make a fire.
She couldn't help but notice the cave goes deeper in. The fire lead her as she walked down a path revealing carvings and drawings on the wall. The further she went the more she found stopping at a small sign. "Here lies Michael a fearless and great friend to all" she mumbled reading to herself.
Lifting the fire up a bit looking at the ceiling of the cave was a drawing of a man in a bear hoodie. "What the hell is this place" she jumped as her eyes landed on said man laying in his tomb eyes closed still breathing however.
Lindsay moved closer to Michael she couldn't help take pity on the poor man. "Wonder what got you here" she place a hand on his face staring at his face.
Michael moved suddenly gripping her arm. "Gavin!" he screamed his eyes opening in shock and confusion.
Lindsay jumped pulling her arm away "Look man I was only looking for shelter I'll leave just don't kill me. I'm not getting involved in this magic stuff or whatever is happening here."
"Wait where am I. Who am I." Michael sat up looking at his hands.
" I'm guessing from the sign your Michael. Friend of the solar queen?" she asked remembering the named he screamed was the queen.
"Solar queen?" he questioned "Who the heck is that"
"Just one of the most important gods and leaders of this land but enough about that do you really not remember anything?"
He shook his head no standing up
"Well if you were a friend of the solar queen I think I know of a person who can help us figure out your tale, friend." she knew she might be able to get reward from this maybe even be allowed into the solar kingdom again.
"Who are they?" Michael noticed a sword nearby compelled by it he grabbed it.
"The blood mage Jeremy" she smiled walking back to her horse. 'Maybe today wasn't a complete and utter fail' she thought to herself
"Why not just go to the solar queen's place?" he followed her
"Well you see Michael I've been somewhat banned from the solar kingdom." she chuckled nervously untying the horse lead line.
"How did you get banned?" he looked at her questioningly
"Long story" she mounted the horse giving Michael a hand while he did the same. "Now hang on!"
Michael held onto her waist as the horse ran quickly out of the cave. "So how far away is the blood mage?"
"Not to far probably a day away on horse but if we find a mage who can teleport us there along the way then it will take less time. I can't wait to Jeremy again!" she exclaimed excitedly
"You must be really close to this Jeremy guy?" he somewhat mumbled
"Well he's the only true friend I have. My life is pretty lonely one."
"Well I'll also be your friend. Um…" he realised he never got her name
"Lindsay and I'm pretty sure after a while you'll absolutely hate me" she chuckled
"I doubt it"
