I sighed. It was only five minutes ago that I woke up, and it was already a long day. I gripped my knife tightly.

"Alright! Now everybody be good and stay the FUCK down!" The bandit said.

I was safely hidden in the shadows. If I weren't such an average sized guy, or if I were more a hero, I'd try to confront the guy. But I'm not. I'm a teenager, holding a knife with a fourteen inch blade, and I'm scared witless. This bandit had a foot and a half on me, a bad attitude, and a longsword, which he was definitely more proficient with than I am with a dagger (He already killed two town guards). All I could do was wait and hope he didn't come my way.

"Now then! You're all gonna drop your belongings, and I'm gonna leave. Nobody gets hurt, or rather, nobody else gets hurt, capiche?"

Why me? I thought, closing my eyes. If I left the alley, my mother would lose her only son. This fucking sucks...

I saw the encounter. In fact, I was part of it. It all happened with...

Nah, I'm just kidding. Anyways I was just trying to go to the local food cupboard, seeing as how I'm fucking broke, and then some idiot of a bandit had to interrupt my trek. Not only that I was hungry.

And yes, when I'm hungry I do something stupid things. Anyways, I shouted towards the guards. Some chicken shit of a kid was peering at him and the others were also shaking. I wasn't. I've dealt with this before, in the alleys, in the streets. I can't even remember how long it's been since I haven't. I held my breath.

I looked at the situation with a small amount of sweat on my brow. One by one, the people dropped their purses and money and belongings, while I just sat there, tense. For a moment, I felt as if someone was staring at me, but I shook it off.

It was then that it happened. Only a few feet away, a little girl, no older than five, stepped out of a door. "Hello, mommy?" She asked in a yawn.

The bandit rushed her.

It must have been adrenaline, because for some reason, I darted out of my hiding place. Sparks flew as my dagger met his sword.

"Who the hell are you!?" The bandit asked angrily. He obviously hadn't noticed me before. My eyes widened and my face turned a pale green.

"OH COME ON! Why are you stealing all the thunder!!!?" I shouted as I suddenly charged at what appeared to be the both of them. I closed my eyes as I felt my shoulder collide with the bandit's side. "Hey! Why doncha just steal from the rich, huh!?" I growled as I backed away. In all honesty, I wasn't sure if I could handle this creep. I did pick some fights, but only those that I knew I would win. This...

Could be a problem.

"Ugh... What the hell!? Who the fuck are you?" The bandit asked as he staggered. His sword was knocked a few feet away by the impact.

"I..." I mumbled, still a little green. My hand was shaking. "G-get out of here..." I said in a bad attempt to sound intimidating.

"Oh?" The bandit asked, regaining his composure. "Who's gonna make me do that? You?"

"Y... Yeah..." I said, still sounding like a scared little child.

"Oh leave the poor city kid alone!" I shouted in a threatening tone. My fists were out as I breathed once. "Why don't you get out of here kid? He's a bandit. And judging by your looks, you don't look like you live on the streets."

"What, just a few seconds ago you were sitting down pissing yourself with the rest of these shits, girlie, why don't you go back to that before you get yourself hurt?" The bandit asked, walking to his sword.

I was shivering, but I made a move. My body was moving on reflex. I lunged. There was a sickening sound, and a shout of pain. I opened my eyes. The bandit's blood was on my hands and shirt. My eyes grew wide again.

"AHH!! YOU SON OF A BITCH!" The bandit roared. He punched me square in the face, and my dagger came loose from his side as I was knocked to the ground.

"Ugh..." I groaned. Now I was bleeding as well, and my eyes were out of focus. Am I gonna die? I thought.

The bandit gripped his wound and continued going for his weapon. "I swear, I'm gonna kill you both..." He said.

I widened my eyes in reaction. "Damn stubborn kid!!" I called out as I ran to the knife and picked it up. Before I knew it, I was sprinting at the bandit and suddenly ducked and lunged with the knife aimed at his gut...

"Eh... Guagh!" The bandit groaned. He crumpled, his strength waning. I could barely tell what was going on.

For a moment, there was silence. Suddenly, people started cheering. My eyes got in focus just in time for me to be picked up by a bunch of people. I looked around, and saw the woman who'd finished the bandit having been picked up by another group of people. "I'm gonna be sick..." I said. I continued to look at her for some reason as we were carried off to the center of town.

"Heh, look at that, you're a hero! You'll be fine, kid," I grinned, though on the inside, once again realized the street girl doesn't get any sort of credit. I turned around and walked away. "Enjoy your celebration!" I shouted as I made my way towards the food cupboard.

It was at that moment that the woman found herself dragged into my situation. I must have just been the easier target at the time because I was lying there. I stared at her for a moment as we were dragged to the center of town.

"I'm getting off. Sorry!" I laughed, despite the fact that I hated this. Oh well. One moment I get the glory and I already hate it.

I then hightailed it. I was fucking HUNGRY! I have been for the past twelve hours and I needed some FOOD.

I watched her leave. "Huh?" I asked, as I was put down on a stage. "Wha..."

A person went into town hall. After a few minutes, he came out with the mayor. She looked at me for a minute and smiled. "So, I hear you did a lot of good for our town out there." She said.

"Heh, good luck kid. It's just a pain to have all publicity. And I didn't want to be a hero, really. Just wanted the ass to get out of my way," I continued to laugh a little louder than normal and headed into the cupboard to get some cans. Maybe I should head into the soup kitchen next.

Now that you mention it...

I'm so sick of this.

The woman bent down and kissed me on the forehead. "Now where is the other person I heard about?" She looked around, but the other girl was gone.

I tried to sneak off stage to throw up, but I was grabbed by the mayor. "Now then, I think this calls for a reward? How would you like to be the captain of the town guard?"

"I... Ah..." I stammered.

"Then it's decided. This young man will be the captain of the town guard from now on!"

There was cheering. I felt ill.

"Mmm!!! This definitely beats staying out there!" I was in the middle of slurping a bowl full of chicken mushroom soup the volunteers made. After I finished the bowl, however, I didn't feel so great. I glanced around to see the others that were eating. Homeless families, hobos, you name it. "Heh, maybe I should find a job. But there's nothing around... I know!! I can move!!! Duh! Why didn't I think of this!!!" I then stood and left the area to find a map of the surrounding area. "If I can find where to go... then I can get a job and voila! I can get rich!!!!" I grinned.

After a parade and feast in my honor, (I was too sick to eat), I was finally dropped off at the guard office and dressed up in the captain's garb. "Uhh... What about the current captain?"

"Remember, mister hero?" The mayor asked. "He was killed by the bandit."

"Oh..." I said. After a little more talk, everybody left. This uniform was too big for me. "I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!" I shouted. I ran home and got a cloak that covered my head. I think it would have been the only way for me to get out of this craziness. I'm no guard captain.

I ran for the exit to town. Please don't let anyone see me...

After about an hour of staring at the town's map on the display in the central area, I figured it out. In fact I plan to go to that busy town, Ulasi, and find my calling there. Apparently almost anyone can find a job there!! So... this is my chance!

Problem...

It's about fifty miles away.

"ARGH!" I shouted.

"UAHH!!" I screamed, hearing the shout. I fell over. Then I realized that it was a distant sound. doesn't change the fact that I was on the ground now. Sunset was on it's way. Several people walked past me. My cloak was hiding me for now.

On the way out, I was speaking incoherently. I think the frustration of walking an unlimited number of miles to my goal got to me, but...

Heh, I'm more of an idiot than I thought. Not only am I traveling, but it's freakin' fall and I have nothing but the same clothes I have on my back to keep me company!

.....

Great.

I sighed and walked towards the exit, seeing something on the ground. I took a closer glance.

"Hmmm? What, you a new hobo around here?" I asked.
