Day Six
A Quick Exit
It seems as if I've learned something new about myself, though it came at he cost of the village's trust. I didn't have to look far for work. The innkeeper took pity on me, gave me a few tasks to take care of for him. They weren't anything that difficult, probably stuff he could've easily taken care of, but I was grateful. The man even paid me some silver in advance. Trouble didn't take long to find me though. It came in the form of a birdbrained moron who had dunk one two many drinks that night. The idiot was harassing the costumers, molesting the innkeepers daughter, just being a complete numskull. I stepped in to intervene, to talk the guy into taking his act outside, but things escalated. I'm still not sure how it happened, but within seconds, he had thrown a punch, and then was halfway across the room, scorched, barely moving. Everything was silent. You could've dropped a pin. And then…
Chaos. Total and absolute chaos. I quickly showed myself out, not even taking the time to look back at the mess. Kept running all night. That, that power, had come from me. I didn't even see myself do it, but I knew I had been responsible. Somehow, I had created that blast of energy, that power that sent the guy flying. Of all the things to forget, how could've I let the fact that I had that sort of power slip my mind? Ah well, what's done is done, and one thing's for certain: Wyllmochvar seems like my best bet now. I'll set out that way as soon as possible, but first, I'm heading south, out of these mountains. The innkeeper said the smartest place to go first would be to the city south. It's big, and full of information. Hopefully I'll be able to gather some supplies and learn of the strange world I've found myself in. After that, it's time to find a boat. And that's pretty much the extent of my plan for now. I know I'll need to get some more money along the way, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Anyway, it's a pretty long journey out of these mountains and I've been sitting still long enough. It's time to get back to walking, though my head still feels like it's been used as a drum for the past few days.
