I woke up to a delicious smell. I opened my eyes. My partner is roasting fish over a campfire. I caught it in a nearby river. I patched up my clothes and washed them. Sorry.

«You’re awake. Get up, wash your face, and eat. The fish will soon be cooked. Over a meal and discuss where to go next? What to do? How to live?

I nodded. I went to the river and washed my face. The water is icy cold. It feels so good. While I was washing, I thought about what I should do. There aren’t many options. You can’t go home, they won’t let you in. So we need to go to the adventurer’s guild. There’s always a lot of work to do there. We’ll manage something with my knowledge. Especially since I’m not alone. At least I won’t be any closer to her. As a partner, she’s not bad. «I checked it out yesterday. The thief status. The abilities are Blades of Speed, Shadow, and Nimble Fingers. The name alone made me dizzy. I rented one of them in a brothel once. I couldn’t walk for exactly two days. Deft fingers. Special skills dance of divine blades. A rare gift. Can deal damage without receiving it for a very short time. Almost immortality, even if only temporarily. I went back to her cave. Dispelled the golem. He did a good job last night. Three magical jackal corpses lay near the entrance. I put them in the void. I’ll sell it in the guild. Maybe I’ll raise my rank. I’ll spend the money on equipment. I need a staff. What kind of magician am I without it? My partner has newer blades and more modest clothes. Or I might lash out.» I know myself. I should give her a hint about it later.
