If I want something, I will get it GREED

"If I want something, I will get it." That were the words, that went through my mind repeatedly.

After the prince left with Martin's two gold pieces, I kept looking at the old lady's head. That woman just died only, because the price wanted to. 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳?

"Reuben, come back inside. Someone else will bury her soon," Martin said to me.

"The knight named Darius knew my name, how?" I asked to Martin.

"I will tell you what happened. Just come inside already." Martin really wanted me to come inside his house, so I did.

We both took place on the kitchen table and Martin explained everything.

"A sword?" I asked after his story.

"I can't imagine someone left that thing. It looked like a treasure. It's grip was gold, the steel looked unbreakable and also very sharp." Martin explained the looks of the sword.

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘳. 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘚𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥. I always wanted to own that sword, but my father never let me touch it.

"Where will they bring that sword?" I asked.

"That caught your interest huh? Well it will probably go to the royale family, if nobody claims it." If it was The Family Sword, it would be no wonder the prince will like to keep it.

"Where does the royale family live?" I asked.

"Well the royale family doesn't live in Lori village. Wait here..." Martin walked away and cam back with a map. "This is the map from Polyhymnia our planet."

Back at home I used to look at the map very often. I also read books about lots of stuff, I wanted to know everything. I learned about monsters, magic and places. But there was one thing that caught the most of my interest, The Six Great Mages of Polyhymnia. I studied a lot about everything.

I knew all the 7 continents located on the map in front of me and I knew a lot about them. The map of Polyhymnia was like a enormous circle with three layers. Vloricus laid in the third layer. The third layer had four continents:

"Carleos," the air continent located east. It has a lot of flying villages. The people here were very peaceful and most of them could fly, however the people who were unable to fly were considered as useless. They lived on the low villages, low in height and low in money.

"Aloria," the water continent located west. The water continent accepted every race, sex, magic user and even the magicless. So long as you lived a honest life, you may live in Aloria. The continent has villages underwater and on the ground. The largest city of Aloria is "Luna City," the city on water. People say, "if you live in Luna, you live the best."

"Magnimum," the fire continent located south. The continent of war. With the strongest knights they could fight everyone. This was the hottest continent. When someone in Magnimum died, they would not be buried. If you died in Magnimum, you would be burned to ashes. Even the royale ones in Magnimum would be burned and placed in vases.

"Vloricus," the earth continent located north. Vloricus was where I lived. Vloricus had two halfs. The eastern half was possed, by king Grandon one of the three fire kings. King Grandon was the king of Vloricus. I knew where the royale house was, I just did not know where Lori village laid. I also never learned where my house laid. After a big war between the fire and earth continent, the fire people were able to conquer a big part of Vloricus. The eastern part of Vloricus is still possessed by the earth people. Most of them lived in caves and mountains. Vloricus was protected by The Great Earth Mage Brookings, however The Great Fire Mage Merlyne defeated Brookings in a great battle. Nobody knew where Brookings was now or if he still lived.

Martin pointed with his finger on the map. "This is where Lori lies and this is where the royale house of king Grandon lies," He said while moving his finger. The royale house was not to far south from Lori.

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰. "I actually want to keep this map," I sad looking at the map.

"Sure, I have two of them anyway. Though, I recommend you to take the smaller version of the map. You can bring it with you more easily," Martin insisted.

"No, I prefer this one."

"Ehm... sure, go ahead." Martin rolled the map and gave it to me.

My mother thought me to use the words "please" and "thanks," to get more in life. I never used those words, however Martin already lost his gold, so maybe it will make his day better. "Thanks."

"No problem," he said and smiled. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.

"Can I have new clothes now?"

Martin looked down. "I don't have enough money anymore. I'm sorry, I will buy you next time."

"But I want it."

"Don't be like prince Lucas now."

𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵. "If I want something, I will get it," I said out loud.

Martin blinked out of suprise, but did not know how to respond.

"Fine, than I'll get it myself!" I got angry and walked to the door.

"Where are you..." Martin's voice got disturbed by the large "𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨" of the door

I held the map in my left hand and ran away.

"Heeeeelp!" The voice of a terrified girl sounded in the alley at my right.

𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮. I ignored it, but I noticed someone behind me. Marcus was looking for me, but had not noticed me yet. "shit!" I ran into the alleyway anyway.

Before me stood a man holding a knife who kicked a little girl on the floor. There was someone else laying on the floor. It was a man, he had a stab wound in his shoulder and leg. He was not able to move, but he could talk. "Please don't hurt my little girl," he begged.

"Who are you!" the thief yelled at me. He did not look to strong, but he was armed with a knife.

"Don't worry my mister, I just wanted to pass through," I replied. 𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.

"I can't let you go that easy, give me your money." The thief pointed his knife at me.

"Sorry, I have nothing and you won't get this map."

"Than I will force it out of you!" The thief ran to me with his knife.

"Wait...!" I pointed my right hand forward and closed my eyes.

"Aaaarghh!"

I opened my eyes and the thief stood on fire. 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘴, 𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘰𝘸?

The thief used water magic on the fire, but the fire was to strong. "Aaaaah! Turn it off! Turn it off!!"

𝘐𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥? "That is what happens to those who get in my way. Keep in mind, if I want something, I will get it!"

"What do you want! What do you want!!" The thief begged for his life. He already burned pretty good.

"It's to late for you now thief!"

"Aaaarghh!!" The thief ran away in panic.

"Please mister, bring me to a hospital. I will thank you with everything in my might," the man on the floor begged.

"Please help my daddy," the girl cried.

Martin told me, I could use every magic type. 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. I walked to the man and tried to use healing magic. 𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴! 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘦.

"You can use two elements? Thank you mister, tell me... what can I do for you." His wound was healed, but his leg was still weak. Water magic could heal wounds, but light magic could strengthen someone.

I tried to use light magic, but that didn't work for some reason. 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘺 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴. "Money would be great," I said.

"Of course, I have money, but I left it at home," the man said.

"Fine, lead me the way." I followed the man to his house and he rewarded me with two hundred silver coins. "Is that all?"

"Oh I'm sorry, wait I have more." The man added hundred silver coins total of three hundred. "Will this do?"

I nodded and left there house. 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. I walked to the clothing store.

When I arrived I searched for some clothes. I choose for a yellow jacket and black jeans I used some water to brush my hair to the air what made it look spikey. I wore the jacket open without a t-shirt. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺. My outfit was worth a total of 250 silver coins leaved me to 50 silver coins left. I saved it for another time.

A lot of people looked at me on my way back, but I did not care. I arrived at Martin's house before it was dark. I saw him walking out of his house wearing his chef outfit.

"Reuben? I am so glad you are back!" Martin ran to me and hugged me. "How did you get these clothes?"

I laughed and said, "If I want something, I will get it."
