Chapter #2Boy by: ZPB   "Why, I remember when you were just a little boy, not quite six years of age. A little malnourished orphan running around the streets of Norlec.” Madame Lustria pinches your cheek playfully and continues. “You’d always following me around like a stray puppy, even before I took you in as my apprentice...”
You tuck your chin a bit further into the collar of your robe, a bit of blood rushing to your cheeks as she continues. Madame Lustria was always reminiscing about the past, not a day would pass without you being reminded of something embarrassing.
As you look back up you see both your and Madame Lustria’s likeness in the metallic surface of a potion bottle across the room.
Madame Lustria’s reflection was that a tall, buxom woman. Her long, black curls reaching her lower back just above her wide hips.
In comparison, you only come up to Madame Lustria’s chest. Most of your thin being is swallowed by an over-sized robe, with the exception of your head. Your naturally straight, black hair is tied back into a tight bun, to help avoid it getting in any potions. Your big, dark brown eyes stare back at you, surrounded by your slightly feminine features.
"Alright, Madame," You suddenly ask. "What exactly is this quest?"
"Oh, look at you! Speaking up for yourself.” She teases, “There's a nearby cave that the peasants claim has been swallowing people up. Complete bull, really, but you know how the uneducated get. The mayor's gotten worked up, though, and he hired us to go check it out."
"Us?"
"Well, I'm letting you handle this on your own. I wouldn't worry too much, though. It's probably nothing."
"Yeah," You nod, brushing a strand of black hair back into place, "but the practice will be good. When do I head out?"
"Now!"
Before you can even react, she wraps her pudgy finger around your thin arm and drags you to the door. Knowing better than to resist, you let her shove you out. The rickety door slams shut behind you. Armed only with your robe and gastro magic, you make your way out of the town and into the nearby forest. The town guard were kind enough to point out the general area the "killer cave" was supposedly located in and you find it in no time.
As you approach, you discover...   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
