Chapter 3 - Demon's Have A Nasty Smirk

I always got bullied for being a tiefling. Ancestrey of demons and all.

But I was born on the Demon Side. Not only that. I was born during a time of war, and a war still yet going on...

Nevermind that, I must get going. 

I step outside the inn and head out. 

"Hmm, alright, I need to get supplies for my next run."

"Get out the way you demon trash.", said the man in front of me.

"How bout' you get that head out your ass and maybe you'd see me next time."

I sent a mischievous wink and grin at the man

"Why you little-"

"Hey hey, leave the tiefling trash alone, she's not worth your time."

"Tch"

The man gave me a death stare as he walked away. 

I chuckle as he got humiliated by little ol me.

"Anyways time to get to work."

***

As I finished up my shopping, I saw another tiefling being verbally assaulted by the same guy who insulted me.

I wanted to help but I'm not the hero type.

Plus my kind is used to this kinda thing.

Like I said, ancestrey of demons and all.

I do wonder though where that tiefling guy came from. Every tiefling comes from a different point of origin. Either we come from the Demon Side (and become the most disgraced of tieflings), Heavens Feel (The classy tieflings with rule of power over that land), or Guyry Kingdom (which are born into slaves for the rich). It's a very sad system where depending where your born will determine your entire life.

Even though I was born on the Demon Side and I am the most hated of my kind, I still have freedom.

Though partially because I got lucky and got taken out of the country and didn't have to fight in the war.

I was found by a military group from Vollyia who raided my village. I was just a baby so they took me back and imprisoned my family and village.

Very sad I know.

But it's better than fighting a war or being imprisoned.

I have my freedom, and I'm thankful for that. 

I need to stop being mopey.

***

As I finished up my shopping and was sitting in my Inn, I decided to go for a walk.

I walk outside and take my usual walking path.

But then I get a tingle of advice from the underworld saying "You will meet someone who will save you, and you will go on a grand adventure with them."

Huh odd advice/fortune but okay.

***

I continue my walk but then I notice some men start following me.

I didn't want to freak out so I acted like I didn't notice them.

But they started getting closer.

Fuck.

I need to run.

I started running down the path yelling for help.

But they had already caught up to me.

I didn't bring my staff so all I could use were simple incantations.

But before I could even say a word. Someone already came.

She started fighting the thugs that attacked me.

She was a good fighter. I could tell she was trained.

I think anybody could tell.

She was swift and fast. Not only that. She was an elf. You'd think she'd be a mage just like me but no.

She must be the one the underworld told me about.

Since I was no longer in any danger I decided to cheer on the elf girl who came to my rescue. 

Before long the fight was over.

I have a feeling this is gonna be an interesting next few years.
