" Hey Syl! The usual, thanks." I ask.
" Okay! Coming right up!" Syl happily replies. Syl is an elf, and pretty much just turned 15. we met when I just started being an adventurer. Someone from another shop asked me to deliver something to a girl called Syl, who works for the local bar. So I went on over and she was worried about my adventuring later that day. So she gave me a little lunch box and then told me to come later that night and buy something in return.
" Here you go!" Syl gives me the food. "One minburger! Hestia is lucky to have a guy like you in her familia to buy her something every Friday."
" Thankyou! " I give the money to her and I walk out of the door. I look around, and because its Friday main street is packed. Thinking of that, main square is at the end of the street. Should I go like that guy wants me to? Or can I just not do it… after all, he didn't give me any consequences. No, that would be too easy. Aargh! I shake my head. I'll go. I need some training, anyway. Who knows? Maybe he isn't a good fighter.
" Bell! Just a sec! come back!" Syl calls out to me.
" huh? What is it?" I ask. She comes to me holding a book.
" look, I don't know if you want it," she starts, " but someone left this behind and I meant to ask you if you wanted to read it. It looked like something you might enjoy, so… well, I kept it for you."
" Oh, thanks Syl!" I say. I look at the title. Magic that even goblins can understand. Yeah. Seems legit.
" okay, I'm going to read it tonight. I'll return it tomorrow, if that's okay with you." I tell her.
" yeah! Its fine when you return it, even keep it if you want!" she exclaims.
" okay, well this time I'm really going!" I call to her. " bye!"
" bye bell!" she calls after me. Well, it looks pretty good. Now I can't wait to get home! So I run home. When I get home, Hestia is lying on the couch watching the TV.
" Oooh!" she cries. "what did you get for me?!" I give the minburger to her.
" one minburger with premium minotaur meat. " I inform her.
"Yay! " she exclaims, with her mouth full. "yuuuuum!" she sees the book I'm holding.
" What's that? A book for once? Did Syl give it to you?" she asks.
" yeah, apparently a customer left it behind, so she lent it to me to read it." I tell her.
" Oh. Okay. Well, go into your room and read it. I'm sure that's what you want to do!" she says. So I walk down the hallway and into my room, then sit on my little sofa.
" Let's see here…" I say to myself.
I start reading the book.
Magic is something that is either given to you, or you are born with. If you are ready to really find the magic within yourself, continue reading.
And so, I continue. There was a lot of writing there, so I skip to the questions on the next page.
Why is it that you seek magic?
Well, I don't have magic, so I want it so I can get stronger.
What would you want to do with this magic and strength?
I want to be better than the average strength level. I want to be the best of the best. I need to surpass a certain someone called the sword princess, and, well, if I can… I want to be a hero. Childish, I know. But it's something I want. I want to be a hero.
I really hope you enjoy!
