"Now that is the right question! You are going to apologize! And you are going to stop being an to others. If you can start doing that, I will start training you, deal?" I asked, but Cindy still looked hesitant.
I could understand why she felt that way, but the best way to deal with things was just to do what needed to be done. Cindy had made so bad choices, and now she would have to pay for them.
"Do you think you could co with when I apologize to each person?" Cindy finally asked, and I nodded.
"Sure, but we will just get everyone together tonight. For now, we can go see Renna, who was very worried about you," I explained, standing up.
"Renna was worried about ?! I was going to hit her?!" Cindy asked in confusion, and I shrugged, offering her a hand up.
"She was the one that told what had happened and asked if I could make sure you got back safe. She understands why you are upset, and she cares about you," I explained as I helped her up off the ground.
"I don't know what to even say about that," Cindy said, and I nodded.
"Just make ands for what you did, and I am sure that things will be fine. Now, let's jog back," I said, and Cindy nodded with a sigh.
The two of us started to run, and within monts we were back out of the forest. Renna was waiting, and she ran to et us, looking really happy.
"You both made it back! I was starting to get worried that one of the Lesser Terror Lizards," Renna laughed.
"This person actually saved from one. If it hadn't been for… What are we supposed to call you?" Cindy asked, looking up at questioningly.
"That is a good question. Let think about it, but just call Man for now," I said with a smile.
"Well, Man saved , or I would be dead," Cindy explained, and Renna took a step back from .
"Don't tell you killed it with your bare hands?!" Renna exclaid, and I tossed my hands in the air in frustration.
"Why do you all think I could fight that thing with my bare hands?!" I complained.
"Well, you are stronger than anyone I have ever t, and sothing about you feels dangerous, like you are hiding sothing. Not that I don't trust you, but you have a strange aura," Renna explained, and Cindy nodded in agreent.
I shook my head but then looked at Cindy, clearing my throat.
"Oh… umm," Cindy said, slowly turning to Renna.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Renna asked, and Cindy looked away.
"I am sorry for trying to hit you and any other ti that I was an to you. I have been frustrated about Kelly, and I took my anger out on you," Cindy said, looking back into Renna's eyes, but sothing appeared in my mind, like a ssage.
[Karma System Activated!]
[1 Karma point gained. ⅕ for first skill.]
The ssage was gone just as fast as it appeared, but I was able to read it. I wondered what that ant?
"Oh! Umm, thank you for that. I knew that it was hard for you when Kelly left, but I didn't know how to help you," Renna said, looking away shyly, and I started to get what might be going on.
"RIDERS!" Soone from the village called, and both the girls looked at .
"What does that an?" I asked as I saw the village start to increase in movent.
"It is the local Countess Eliza. She is from the town to the north, but she assus that she owns the place," Renna said, sounding angry.
"That is because she has warriors that I can't beat! We have to listen to them, or they might try attacking us or taking so won!" Cindy hissed.
I looked at the two girls, and it was like I was looking at two different people! Renna seed like she was ready to fight but had no power to, but Cindy was being the more level-headed of the two and telling her to listen.
The two would make a cute couple, but now was hardly the ti for such thoughts!
"Get a cloak or a large robe that will hide my face and body. I would like to see how these people act, and then I will make my choice on what to do," I said, and Renna nodded, running off to the village ahead of us.
"What are you thinking?" Cindy asked as she walked beside .
"I want to get a feel for what Eliza is like. If she is a good person who is just misguided, I will deal with her appropriately. If I deem her to be a true spawn of evil, I will also deal with her appropriately," I said in a plain tone.
"Hmm, I don't think she is pure evil, but definitely misguided. Her mother was, Countess Margaret was very nice and never bothered us, but she died three years ago, and Eliza was left in charge. Her mother's death was due to a riding accident, and Eliza had not received any formal training, as her mother had assud she would not take the position for many years," Cindy explained as we reached the village.
"Interesting. Thank you very much for the information. Now, just act normal for the most part, and introduce as a wanderer that is staying in the village for a few days," I said, and Cindy nodded as Renna ca running back over.
"Found one that should fit you," Renna said, handing a large pink robe as I tried not to grimace.
"Thank you. I want you to go to your tent and not to co out until Cindy cos and gets you. Understand?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at Renna.
"What? Why?" Renna asked, trying to give so big innocent eyes, but I saw right through them.
