Chapter 6

My eyes feel sore like they were being pulled out, before I lost consciousness I felt like I was aware of everything, I could feel the texture of all the plants and trees nearby, even the feeling of Elyns hair as I went to pat her.
That overload was almost bearable but the feeling of being pulled out of my body tore away my focus causing me to collapse. When I tried to move the water from my body I felt a barrier stopping me from throwing it, the few drops that landed on Elyn each causing a stabbing pain in my head breaking my focus.
I remember the thing that truly make me lose focus though, was the voice that echoed in my head.

I think lost focus and then ended up fainting from the amount of information being crammed into my head from trying to use magic.
I'm not really used to hearing things in my head. I know some claim to hear voices but that wasn't on my list for things to do today, along with being dragged to an unknown place with my 10 year old sister.
I drag myself to my feet with the help of a pair of small hands trying to support me the best they can and pat her head as thanks. Looking around the woman seems to have left to interact with the rest of the camp at this point as they were tidying up and moving the bodies into a pile.
I decide it might be best to move on instead of hanging around outside next to a burning camp, so I bring Elyn the way we were originally heading with the cart, hoping we don't meet in the future.
While I wasn't given any information about the town we are heading towards I can vaguely understand the conversations people had yesterday while we were walking as if someone had uploaded the information in my head.
From what I can remember from the previous day we are heading East which gives me somewhere to start. I also heard the name Ayrith which I can assume to be the town I'm headed towards.
The cries before I left my tent screaming 'Troll' at the creature. I'm not sure what the internet has to do with a large deadly monster but I was never against dealing with those people in a similar manner.
We pass by the forest which allows me to relax a bit, knowing it would be harder to sneak up on us. I also attempt to make a small light using magic as we travel on the path so we don't trip. Elyn seems to like chasing the motes of light I've been able to create. Once I realised how to cause the specks of light to appear I heard that robotic female voice again.

While it surprised me, this time I didn't start fainting the moment I tried to use this sort of magic. I eventually started to slow down while walking, trying to move the lights away as Elyn ran around trying to catch them, playing Cat and mouse till she caught a few.
When we were about to start walking, just as we could see the city in the distance, an arrow lands in the ground by my feet.
"Your lights either mean you are stupid, or wanting to die!" A rough male voice calls out to me. "If you want to stay alive..." He glances a bit more at me before looking puzzled.
"If I want to stay alive I should join you?" I reply quickly to play on his confusion.
"Uh, yeah. You don't look like you have anything that useful on you, so we could definitely find you some work as you look strong enough to labour all day for us. All you have to do is accept our bosses gift of a necklace before joining so we can all start as family. I have one here I was saving for a promising recruit like you" He absentmindedly let down his bow while reaching into a pouch on his side to pull out a small wooden box.
