He came at me and my anger exploded in the form of hardened the air that surrounded me then I tried to push him back. He didn’t move very far but I managed to knock his sword from him and drove it through his heart. Then I jumped away as he fell forward and the impact forced the sword in deeper. He face was in a state of shock and despair of his unexpected death. The girl came out and ran away but one of the guards caught her then took her away. I put the dormant dagger away back in my pocket. I seemed doubtful that it took control of me but could I have done everything by myself? My doubts didn’t develop any further because Samith came and rushed me away before anyone could ask me any questions.
We left soon after that in a wagon with supplies to last us for a long time and we traveled north towards the mountains. It took us two months to get the base of the mountain and we had eaten most of the food that we had with us. We took what we could carry on our backs and on the horses. Then we hid the wagon, through I never knew why. I asked him if there were thieves up here. He laughed at that and mumbled something about being in wilderness. We walked up the base of the mountains, I tried my hardest not to fall on the loose rocks that were around. Samith seemed to be in constant fear of something, always looking up to the mountain and stopping to hear something. Once we passed a place that was almost impassable with boulders almost blocking our way. It took some time to get through that and when we did, we started to walk back down to the forest.
This time there was no path for us to follow to our destination. We stopped when we got to the forest and had our supper. It was quick since it was near dawn and Samith wanted to be to our camp before it was to dark to see. It was almost to dark to see when we came across a clearing where there was a house, garden, pig pens, stables and other food and recreational areas. Samith unloaded the horses and gave the supplies to me to put in the house while he took the horses to the stables. It seemed this is where Samith went when he left the family for vacation or to have peace. The next morning we went to the garden and harvest what we could and planted some more vegetables for later on. He took me out back to where there was an orchard and let me picked apples and oranges for later. At lunch he told me how we would live and that he would train me in the dark arts of martial arts and magic later on. That same day he taught me how to work the farm and the task was repetitive every day but he would teach me training in fighting also for an hour or two.
