2 Chapter 1
After we had breakfast, I left the orphanage with some of my nicer clothes on. I just told the caretakers that I was going to the library. When I woke up, I realized that I should not mess with the people really close to me. For sure there had to be others out there in the world with 'special' abilities, so there was definitely some type of government agency that looked out for us. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.
Besides, you shouldn't shit where you sleep. So, I decided to 'shit' on the other side of London. I'm going to go into some random store, and with these clothes, hopefully, the cashier or whatever will not be suspicious. I definitely do not want to get attention.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was going to just head over directly, but I couldn't help but try out my new power on some random pedestrians. For this one guy, I caused him to trip by slowing down his thinking, and when I helped him up, I convinced him to give me all the pounds he had on him. Then, I tried to erase that moment from his memory.
I'm not exactly sure about how well I did, but at the very least he forgot my face and how much he gave me. I did this a few more times and ended up with about 300 pounds, but when I tried it on this tough-looking guy, things did not work out so cleanly.
I got him to trip, but when I tried to help him, he did not let go of my arm and it felt like he realized what I had done. So, I lashed out at his mind and he passed out... onto the street. I was out of there, but I managed to see his head crushed like a fucking grape by some taxi.
Eh, alls well that ends well, I guess.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once I finally got to an area I felt was a good distance from the orphanage, I started going into the shops. Sometimes grabbing something and paying for it with that money those kind gentlemen gave me, other times I would just use legillimancy to get some stuff for free.
In one of the small bookstores, it was just me and the shop clerk. I read her mind and learned that there was some interesting paranormal stuff in the back. I 'convinced' her to show me, and most of it was just crap. Though, there were a few interesting items in there.
There were a couple of bags of cocaine and a pistol. I decided not to take anything, but instead to 'question' the clerk more deeply. In my legillimancy deep-dive into his memories, I learned that he was a member of a gang and was a greedy bastard.
Figuring I should try to maximize my profits, I tried to set up a legillimancy 'egg' in his head. Basically, over time he would become more and more loyal to me. When I realized it was going to take more than a few minutes, I had him close up the shop and I went all out implanting the 'egg' into his psyche.
It took about an hour and a half according to the watch I bought earlier.
But once the loyalty egg was firmly in there, I would be able to have him do whatever I want. But this actually gave me a really great idea: I can implant a loyalty egg into any adult that meets my standards and have them adopt me, giving me greater freedom and never having to clean any more dishes.
But, this would have to wait until I found the perfect 'parent'. For now, I decided to take what I had got, put it all in the bag I grabbed and head back to the orphanage. I would check back on the store clerk in a few days, and see if I could grow my influence in the criminal underworld through him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After dinner, I 'talked' to the head caretaker and basically just tried to position myself as authoritative in her mind. This was basically so I wouldn't have to do any more chores for however long I was left here, also to help the adoption process to go as fast as possible.
I realized that it did not matter if I did any more magic, as long as it is in a private place because nobody came when I summoned an otherworldly being. But anyway, I packed everything I had bought or was 'given' under my bed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THREE DAYS LATER
No, no, no, no, n-Wait, there! He's perfect. For the last few days I have been looking for new parents, and it has not been very successful. But today, I think I found the perfect one: rich, he owns a real-estate company, is married, and they only care about appearances.
"Excuse me, sir. Could I get attention for a second?" I got him to look at me and using legillimancy, I was able to isolate him and implant him with a much more robust and practiced loyalty egg. Dazed, he looked at me, waiting for my orders.
Smirking I said, "Come here tomorrow with your wife and wait for me here." Once she was also implanted with a loyalty egg, I would have them adopt me in order to provide me with a perfect cover and to give me much greater freedom.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWO DAYS LATER
It was a good thing that I prepared so much to help the adoption process, otherwise, it would have taken so much longer. But anyway, it was finally done. I grabbed all of my stuff and put it in my adoptive parents', Phil and Amy Green's, car and we were off to my new house.
The next morning, I had Phil set up a bank account in my name and put 100k Pounds in there. But once we got home, there was a letter waiting for me.
Dear Mr. Nightingale (Green),
