As I consider the possibilities of both options I’m interrupted by Rignaths voice in my head.
“Please excuse the interruption Jon but upon seeing your indecision I decided to conduct a survey on whether or not you should kill her.”
“Okay that’s nice and all but I think I already know what I want to do.”[me]
“But don’t you want to know what they think?”[Rignath]
*sigh* “fine, what were the results?”[me]
“Well it was close but most of the gods want you to spare her life in hopes that she will be useful in the future.”[Rignath]
I glance down at the fallen dragoness and shrug my shoulders.(Man I really wanted that power, but If I kill her now the gods might get pissed.)I kneel next to Krowola speak in my most intimidating voice.
“ Okay, I have decided to spare you this one time but from this point onward your life is mine and I expect total servitude”[me]
“And here I thought you wanted to be partners and adventure together as friends”[Krowola]
“And here I thought that you wouldn’t lower yourself to the level of a quote, dirty, inbred, monkey descended, low level, peasant, shit excuse of a human being, now shut up and get me the fuck out of here, we can discuss how our relationship will progress later”[me]
Without another word my eyes are suddenly struck blind by beams of sunlight.(Shit that’s bright)
As my eyes adjust to the light a couple big blue screens pop up in front of me

Huh, neat... I toggle acidic breath on so that I can see its effects and then spit on the dirt which proceeds to sizzle, pop and create a tiny amount of smoke in response to my green emerald phlegm. After that, I look around and soon realize I’m back next to the dead captain who is now naked…(Kinda weird that he wouldn’t wear ANY clothes under his armor.)
...Speaking of armor why am I feeling molested? I look down and discover my new sword attached via sheath strap to the waist of a new void black armor that is an exact copy of what I was wearing before except for the two steel gauntlets that reach my elbows and a half plate set of armor that covers my chest. The chest piece is odd however due to the large insignia in the shape of a green sword surrounded by a circle of purple flames. (Holy shit if this symbolism were any more obvious a preschooler could figure it out.)
{Well I'm sorry you don’t like it master, but I thought it looked nice.}[Krowola]
“Okay and that's fine but I kinda need to stay inconspicuous at the moment so could you please remove it?”[me]
{Sir if you don’t mind me asking… Why do you care? No one knows that you come from another world or that you caused the crater, so why not just take up the masked hero persona with no backstory. That way as your legend builds the easier it will eventually become to meet the human king and see if he’s actually worth killing.}[Krowola]
“I care because I’m new to this world and enemies are the last thing I need right now. But while we’re on the topic, how did you know about my coming from another world and all that other stuff I never told you?...and did you just read my mind?!”[me]
{Actually I only heard your thoughts, and I can do that because when I ate your soul you became apart of me allowing me access into your unguarded mind}[Krowola]
“So does that mean I can see into your mind to?”[me]
{Sure if I let you, after all, I’ve been alive for centuries there's no way a greenhorn like you could ever master mind magic to the point where you could penetrate my mind}[Krowola]
“So you know everything about me?”There’s a grunt of approval “In that case why haven’t you told me where the former captain put his potions?”[me]
{Sorry sir, they should be in a brown leather satchel located near here.}[Krowola]
I look around, scanning the ruins of the former battlefield until I spy with my little eye, something brown lying on the ground about 5 meters from the dead captain's body. I jog over to it and look inside. Oddly enough, however, there’s nothing inside but a dark, seemingly bottomless pit.
“The fuck is this?”[me]
{Oh this is just a bag of holding. There is a runic enchantment on it that creates a pocket dimension in which the owner can store an infinite number of goods.}
“Oh, thanks, player's guide. But how do I use it”
{*scoffs* Just stick your hand in and imagine the object you want, if it’s in there it should come out.}
Following her instructions, I place my hand inside and my hand is immediately met with the feeling of a smooth glass cylinder. Pulling out my hand I stare a clear glass jar filled with a thick red liquid.
Smiling I place the potion back into the jar. (This is so cool I can’t wait to see what kind of things I can stuff inside here… maybe if I can trap a small monster inside here I can shoot it back out at my enemies, that would be awesome) I heft the bag over my shoulder and make my way back towards Renise.
