The wooden wheels of the carriage creaked over the dirt road,the rhythmic clatter blending in with the unseen bird. Edric leaned against the side of the carriage, his fingers absently tracing the worn leather bag. Two days have passed since Edric leaft Garricks tavern,and yet the weight of everything that has happened still sat heavy in Edric’s mind. The dagger sat across his lap, the crest gleaming faintly under the morning sun.His mother’s book, the translated history, mentions Veyra warrior- none of it answered the burning question. Why did Veyra fall? The end of the book was basically a diary with accounts of the day to day expenditure, events etc for a period of 5 months. None of it gave Edrica a clue. Guess the source is the only option Edric thought. Edric let out a slow breath, the past days have been uneventful. The road winding down the forest and rolling hills. His driver wasn’t much of a talker , a middle aged man named Darrin, had been a quiet companion, only speaking when necessary . The man didn’t ask questions and Edric preferred it that way. But now the carriage was approaching the small town of Valdrone, a small town where he will need to switch transports. He knew his solitude wouldn't last much longer. Valdrone wasn’t large , but it was busy. Situated between the capital and outlying regions, it served as a transit hub for traders, merchants and mercenaries. The streets were packed with haggling goods, stable men tending to there horse and innkeepers shouting there prices. Darring pulled the carriage next to a stable, “this is your stop kid” he muttered, glancing at Edric for the first time the journey began. “You heading to the city”. he asked in a soft tone. “Yeah, I need another ride” Edric nodded. Darrin rubbing his stubbled chin. “Then you best get moving, the next carriage leaves in an hour. That way” Darrin points towards a sign . Edric stepped off, slung his bag on his shoulder “ Thank you”. Darrin gave a short node before flicking his carriage away. Edric adjusted his cloak, making sure his facial features are obscured. He made his way through the crowd, keeping an eye incase of danger. It wasn’t paranoia- he has been attacked twice already. He didn’t want to have his third. While Edric makes his way, he looks at the stall. In hopes he could find anything useful. There were a variety of stalls, weapons, armor ,fashion , food etc. It would be overwhelming looking at the items but Edric had a trick at his sleeves. ‘Status’ Edric brought out his Status window. While Edric was traveling he played around with his system window. He found one interesting skill, every ones in a while the status window describes an object, in exchange for some mana. Edric looks at a sword in front of him and the system says ‘Sword enchanted with fire magic’. It showed attributes, sometimes names and its durability along with more,inconsistent of course. This made Edric’s search way easier but whenever he uses it it consumes mana or atleast that what he thinks he feels drained after using it. "Lets see, fire magic, poison blade,--" Edric goes through various things trying to find something useful, his mana is limited and he doesn’t know any way to acquire more. Nothing catches his attention much, he was almost at his next transport location, Edric could see it in his line of sight. Another neat feature. While looking he finds a merchant stall. The merchant sold various enchanted accessories. The strange thing is that he sold it as fashion accessories, instead of enchanted one. “Ladies , this necklace suits your neck” The merchant says to a passer by woman. Edrick thought he could get a good deal from an ignorant merchant. He looks over the rings on display. [Ring : Enchanted with invisibility] [Currently in dormant state. Can be used if mana is poured into it] For someone to hide like Edric, invisibility is very useful. Edric decides to buy it. He goes to the stall , takes the ring. The ring in comparison to the other produc
