I''ll be busy for a while, do what you can without me. See you soon.


    -Butler


    But why should I be? His sister ignored him as much as he did her. It''s not entirely his fault, everything that has happened, how both siblings had acted towards each other. People just don''t understand. I''m better off not telling them anything about me, or her... Bloody stupid Butler!


    If I''m going to find out anything about her, I''m going to have to do it alone. He kicked a stone. That''s not right... I have no idea how to do it alone. Butler doesn''t like me any more, he''s no good to me now. I need to find someone who knows her. But it''s a big game. Too many people, too much ground to cover. If I knew what nation she was a part of, maybe then I''d have a chance to find her, but even that would be time consuming, never mind searching all three countries. He kicked the stone again. Bloody hell! Bloody Butler!


    Maybe if I meet new people, join a band or army, make a name for myself. Maybe then I''ll find the people who can help me. Ragen threw his arms into the air. ''Who am I kidding? I won''t make it anywhere fighting the way I do.'' He shook his head and kicked the stone farther down the street. The small chipped rock bounced from the shadow of a building into a ray of light shining out through an adjoining alleyway. The sun was rising in the sky, the chill air falling to its morning warmth. I''m going to have a hard time of it, no matter how I try. Maybe I''ll never find out about her... Lauren. Broadway.


    I''m not an NPC. He thought, and it was as if she could read his mind.


    Like I know anyone to tell. ''Sure.''


    The woman exited out of the yard and left Ragen with the damaged dummy. What a pain. He kicked splinters of wood out of his way, sand too, and proceeded to hack at the next hanging target on the gallows. His technique paled in comparison to the player he had just encountered. She''s had a lot more practise than I have.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    She''s reminds me of Butler. I can''t trust a person like that. ''I...'' He hesitated. What do I say? For some reason he could not lie to her after all. ''I am a kid.''


    Second? ''Who else asked you?'' He ignored her question.


    His name? It''s a man. ''That''s fine, thank you, for everything.''


    Butler..! He smiled a wide smile. It was then that he saw a shadow move quickly past him. When he looked for the source, he could have sworn that he saw a person high in the sky, but it faded out of sight far too quick. The woman had vanished too.
