We were just passing through a forest with a thick fog, i asked her "should we stop and rest? We might get lost." she replied "no time for rest, and besides... I need to go to a city and earn some money."

We stayed silent for a while, until she said "do you... Have any family or friends?" i took a moment of silence.

then said "not anymore, my parents died due to a certain noble in the city you destroyed, and my friends were killed by the monster you killed, that's how you found me."

Then she stopped turned around and looked at me, then said "I'm sorry for trying to kill you, and not being able to kill that noble... I guess everyone has a reason."

Then she hugged me and caressed my head, "you can cry now... If you want?" i replied by humming no, then said "i don't wanna get lost so let's keep going!"

And she released me, i wanted to be hugged for a bit more though... But at least, she's friendlier towards me now, as if she never found out i was a bandit.

Then we got robbed by bandits, I'm only wearing normal clothes, and she is wearing her suit of armor.

I said "hey skyler, just do what i do." since we're friends again i can call her by her name again! The person that looks like the head of the bandits said "hand over half of your stuff or die!"

We pulled our pockets then i said "sorry we were just robbed, you weren't the only ones in this forest." he said "damn it! Where were you robbed?"

Then i pointed it south west of me, then said "over there!" then the bandit said "let's get em boys!" and then they ran towards the direction, ignoring us.

After they were all gone skyler looked around to make sure, then asked "they were gone? Just like that?!!?" then i said "yeah, pretty much all bandits are from an association that follow the same rules."

She asked me "what rule was that just now?" and i replied "if your prey Is already Rob, leave them be or face consequences."

Then i continued "but no one specified that they can't Rob the ones who robbed us, right?" after that we continued walking and finally found a city after walking for half a day! Of course it was night already and... The city is in ruins?

"congratulations to the host, you have found the ancient sacred city of the Holy Church." skyler said "this is the sacred city! But... That was thousands of years ago it was rebuilt and renamed!"

I looked at her and said "not just that, there are smoke coming from the ruined city, and corpses in the area, fresh ones that have just hardened..."

I continued "the city is being invaded by heretics looking at the outfits in the battleground, and in this era catapults weren't popular because they at most have 2-3 destroyed catapults."

Then she rushed towards the ruined city, i followed after her. While grabbing some stuff on the way, a greatsword from a templar, including his helmet, arm guards and leggings, they give better defense than mine by a lot.

I just finished an adventure, and here i am again, at least this time i will have some good loot!
