Chapter 4: ch4: new powers!

su: where would she go?

- I'm right in front of you -

su started walking around the area searching for alvah, while alvah was standing right in front of her. after a while su made a grumpy expression as she wasn't able to find alvah anywhere near.

su: I knew she had something up her sleeves, and why would you do that astaria?

astaria turned away refusing to answer, and su got even angrier as she completely lost track of alvah.

- wait? they can't see me, why?

AM I INVISIBLE?.. -

______________________________previously

alvah seized the opportunity she got and ran away as far as she could from angry su, when she finally felt safe, she sat down and took a deep breath. 

beside her there was a big long river of fresh water, the water there was so fresh and pure that it reflected Everything above it.

the place was so calm and peaceful and mesmerizing.

" phew, I should be dead but I'm not! "

 - alright now I'm all by myself again, I need to find a way outta this wicked plac-.. -

???: HOW COME YOU'RE STILL ALIVE ?!

a: ish?

alvah got shocked and immediately stood up to see where that voice was coming from, she was ready to fight whoever appears yet no one did..

- I'm sure I heard someone but it felt like the voice was too close, near my right ear, how is that even possible? -

???: what are you doing? fighting the wind?

a: who are you?

???: you already forgot about me? the dwarf?

- wait that voice is familiar it's.. -

a: A..Arthur? you.. you're still alive, how?

dw: pshhh, alive? I'm supposed to be dead but my soul is stuck in my earing and you're wearing it, that's why you're able to hear me.

a: you turned into a ghost, to follow me and make my life a disaster? please forgive me, I wasn't meaning to kill you, it's just..

dw: YOU KILLED ME?

a: n..no I meant to say I'm sorry for not saving you and letting that witch kill you ahahaha.. 

dw: and why would you steal my earing that's such a shameful act you know?

a: I kept it as a memory of you since you vanished, also why would your soul be trapped inside this earing, is it a special item or something? 

dw: it was passed down to me by my ancestors, it's a magical item that was linked to me, if I died in this Ayrshire garden my soul would rest inside it until someone finds it, but it was meant to be found by one of the NIRANS since it has our symbol on it and it sends a signal to the tribe referring to its place once my soul has entered it, then they take it and organize a funeral for me to set my soul free.

a: set your soul free? Do you want that?

dw: no, that's why I'm asking you to find a human vessel for me in the future in return I can help you survive and thrive in this world.

a: a human vessel?

dw: yeah like a human body my soul can enter in other than this earing, but don't worry about it now you're too weak to do it anyways.

a: what I get from this is that we're technically on the same side?

dw: yes!

a: and in exchange for giving you a human vessel you can live in, you're willing to use your knowledge about this world and your experience to help me survive it and rule it?

dw: I'm not sure about the ruling part

a: that's my job, you don't need to tell me how to do it, providing me with the pieces of information I need is already enough, but tell me, how much do you know about this world?

dw: as a food gatherer I know a lot about surviving in the wild and finding the way out of critical situations, I used to read a lot of human books so my knowledge can undoubtedly help you blend in Chaos as one of its people, I can answer all your questions, and I also know a lot about magic through books and blablbalbalba

- why does he sound like he's reciting his CV to me.. -

a: okay shut up, I'll take you with me.

dw: but you need to sign a contract with me 

a: contract? Here?

dw: yeah why not?

A: are we even talking about the same thing? Go on explain what is a contract for you.

Dw: it's a mutual agreement between two people with certain conditions, both of them must use their blood to make their promise, and whoever breaks it first gets cursed by Chaos for the rest of their life, and gets the punishment the two parties agreed on at first.

- scary -

A: I see, and you want me to use my own blood to promise you to find you a vessel in the future?

Dw: exactly, and I can promise I won't lie to you and will always try my best to guide you on the right path.

A: hmmm, quite interesting, btw before signing anything can you see that river there? 

Dw: yeah what's wrong with it?

A: ha? You can see everything I'm seeing? I can't get any privacy that way and even worse what if I want to date? That's uncomfortable!

 

Dw: as long as you're wearing that earing we're connected and I can see, hear, touch, taste everything you do so, if you don't want me to, just remove the earing, but you might lose it, and I might fade away after a long time of no contact with the earing's owner.

A: ohh so I'm connected to the earing not you

Dw: it's the same.

A: earing, mute Arthur.

Dw: ...

A: you got muted? So I can control you through the earing kkk.

A: unmute Arthur.

Dw: that wasn't nice

A: haha anyways, about the river do you see how deep it is?

Dw: yeah what's about it?

Alvah went closer to the river

A: if you ever dare to lie to me or refuse to help I can always throw this earing in there, I bet your dear people won't jump inside it and risk another death just to set you free, you'll be trapped inside this earing for thousands if not millions of years before someone finally finds you, and I bet they'd not want you to accompany them because after all your knowledge wouldn't be that valuable after some years pass would it?

Dw: w..why would you do that?

A: I'm not gonna throw you don't worry, but just keep in mind, I don't negotiate with dead people, me helping you with the vessel depends on your performance and how much I like you and value you as a friend, I have the higher hand here it's clear, you helping me is a must, if you don't, I have enough power and control to punish you, on the other hand, you have no power over me, in this case, do you think signing a contract is really necessary?

Dw: if you want me to help you tho, you have to offer me a service in return.

A: oh yeah, I'm already doing that, this earning is heavy enough for me to hold, that's my service, if you refuse to help me I'll get rid of this extra weight, do you get it?

Dw: I.. I have no words

A: seems like you do to me, now let me officially announce to you that from now on you'll be my first subordinate in this world

Dw: su.. subordinate?! No! I'm only loyal to the NIRANS.

A: I'm sorry do I look like I'm giving you a choice? You must be proud you're the first subordinate I chose as the great future Chaos's ruler, hmph the audacity of you to speak up to me and disobey me so shamelessly, you should be thankful I'm letting you off the hook this time.

Dw: I'm sorry <fUtUrE cHaOs rUlEr> I'm really happy to be one of your people you're so kind and generous, this low peasant realizes his mistake.

A: way better!

Arthur though: -this little human Even if I'm dead it doesn't mean she can treat me like that! But the problem is she's the only one I can rely on right now, if she threw in the river.. let's not think about that, and if she dies here the NIRANS are gonna find me sooner or later and set me free, I've been trying so hard to hide the fact that I don't wanna be "set free" it's just a nice way to say dying and it's certainly not what I want, so I can't let her die yet, I need to get her out of here and protect her to get away from the NIRANS after that convince her to get me a vessel.. she's my only ally right now, I have no choice but to help her get stronger, it's better to have a strong master than a weak one -

A: ay dwarfy 

Dw: what now?

A: before when I was fighting the two witches I suddenly felt like I was invisible to them do you have an explanation for that?

Dw: that's probably your ability

A: an ability what's that?

Dw: everyone has an ability, when you come to this world as an outsider you get gifted a special ability, and it usually depends on how you lived in your real world and what you wanted the most, for example, if you used to be a robber or an assassin you'll probably get a stealth ability, for insiders it's different, they're born with their ability and it doesn't depend on who they're, it's rather a genetic thing, they can get their mother's ability or their father's, it depends on whose ability is stronger, if they're equal in strength the son will get a mix of both abilities, there's also a risk not to get any.

A: so my ability is invisibility, But who turned it on? I didn't even know I had it!

Dw: you don't turn it on and off, since it's your ability it responds to your wishes and thoughts, maybe at a split of a second you wished you'd be invisible for them to be able to run away, and your ability got activated to protect you.

A: I see, but if you look at my life on earth, I always wanted to be flashy, I was the biggest attention seeker, getting an ability such as invisibility is.. how do I say it, it's not my style at all, I'd rather get an ability that can make me stand out not be invisible, it's not what I wanted at all!

Dw: how dare you look down on invisibility, this ability was what kept alive and protected me from humans all these years..

A(interrupted): kept YOU alive? That's your ability? Do dwarfs get ability too?

Dw: every creature has an ability even the worms it's just that it's not developed enough for them to use it, and talking about invisibility, that's my ability, I lost it and now it's yours, what does that mean?

A: I can steal others' abilities and use them as my own?

Dw: more like you can steal the dead's abilities, since you couldn't steal the witch's ability but took mine so easily.

A: that.. that's FANTASTIC, that's exactly what I want, thank you Chaos for this great gift, from now on I'll kill everyone with a nice ability muahahaha

Dw: ... How old are you again?

A: 16 !!

Dw: I hope I die before your inner demon fully grows up..

A: let's go dwarfy, we need to try my ability on outsiders, as I told you invisibility is not my style!

Dw: yeah sure.

Alvah took a sip of water from the river, and as she bent over she saw her reflection in the water..

A: aww my pretty face, I missed you so much, you're the only one that's giving me enough strength to survive in this shitty place, now let me try what that little rat taught me.

- I wanna be invisible -

Alvah's reflection on the river disappeared, she felt enormous joy as she wished to be visible again and went away.

- it responds to me like it's my ability, this robbing ability sure does its work perfectly -

alvah kept wondering and wondering in the Ayrshire garden, with the help of Arthur she knew what to eat and what to not and where to sleep, the next few days of her stay in the forest were peaceful and easy, although she encountered insiders many times, every time she would just turn herself invisible until they go away, at first Arthur said he knew the way out of the forest but after some time passed even he got lost, so alvah just kept walking with no exact direction hoping she'd get out of the forest or meet some outsiders.

After about a week alvah already got used to the new lifestyle, gathering food became easier for her and she could now hold her invisibility for a longer time than before, one time she was searching for food when she heard a sudden bang.

A: a fight again? These past few days insiders have gotten more aggressive and troublesome, I can't even walk peacefully without being invisible!

Dw: quickly become invisible and let's run away, you don't wanna get caught this time.

In the past few days, alvah has encountered a lot of fights between insiders and outsiders and insiders always win, of course, so alvah would activate her invisibility and wait for the fight to end and the insiders to leave so that she could loot and steal what the outsiders have with them (food and weapons) she already got herself a large black jacket she'd put over her school uniform to protect her from the cold at night, and a sharp blade she usually uses to cut plants and animals, however one time she was almost caught by an insider so she stopped going to fight scenes.

As alvah was about to activate her ability and run away, she heard a low pained husky voice..

???: He..help us young lady, we'll give you everything you wish for..

A man wounded body crawled towards alvah, covered in blood and deadly injuries, the sight of him was horrific, however, alvah already got used to seeing such things.

- young lady? I was never called like that on earth, also his clothes.. that's an INSIDER?! strong enough to defeat an insider? no there's no such outsider with this power, maybe it's a fight between insiders themselves? I should check it out.. -

As alvah was taking her time to think whether she would help him or not, a girl appeared behind the man and stroke a deadly attack on him, using her big heavy axe, the man's head was fully decapitated and his blood was everywhere, alvah has already witnessed a lot of death since she came into this world but at the sight of this the 16 years old girl could not keep her consciousness, she fainted.

???: Hana where are you?

Hana: call leader, I found something here..

Minutes After a lot of people came and surrounded alvah who was laying on the floor peacefully.

???: she looks so young and weak how did she manage to make it this far into the forest.

Leader: that's the oak tree academy uniform?..

- why would someone this rich come here..? - (leader thoughts)

Hana: leader, it's almost night, if we leave her here she would undoubtedly die.. look at all the blood on her, she's wounded!

Leader: you think so?

In reality, alvah wasn't wounded, the blood on her clothes was due to her stealing from the dead bodies and going too close to them, but when put with her laying on the ground, the scene perfectly portrayed a damsel in distress who was already attacked by the monsters..

???: We can't take her either, we're already short on food supplies, and she looks weak and wounded, she's useless to us, and I bet taking care of her will just slow us down..

???: She looks like she can't even defend herself.

???: We can't bear the responsibility of a kid

Hana: SHUT UP EVERYONE! lead what do you say, Take or leave?

Leader: ... Pffttt y'all are so stupid aren't you?
