“well I don't want it to close to the village or it will be easily discovered but if its to far away it will be a pain in the ass to get there...”

“entrances and exits can be created by the master of the dungeon. Also entrance rules can be as well, however if their are no rules the amount of magic required to make it is significantly less. Also I would recommend that you save the goblins sooner rather then later as the bandits are likely to damage them beyond use for you”

as I look back at the camp one of the bandits was brutally beating a goblin. Since PAIN is too big for tactics and I am a pretty good fighter I decided to go in alone. Well not really going in alone not bringing codex would just be plain stupid. The bandit camp was really shabby and had multiple entrances in the palisade for me to enter the camp. I decided to go to the biggest building first to investigate as to what the bandits had. I went to the back of the building and put my ear against the poorly constructed wall.

“so are we going to go on a raid today? Most of the boys are feeling cooped up”

“i was thinking about heading towards mouse village heard about a rumour that a wolf Cerberus killed the town mage and lifted the infestation curse on the village”

“oh that's smart going after a defenceless village of people who got fat off of eating mice.”

“yes get the boys up we leave in ten minutes.”

I hear the man leave and then the remaining man starts talking to himself

“i guess I don't need to bring along those mana rings if their is no mage but ill take one just in case the rumour isn't true. Gonna get a bunch of new recruits after that failed attack on the caravan need to replenish our numbers dammit where did I put those rings?”

i hear him rummaging though a desk and then he walks out. I peek around the corner of building and see the bandits rushing around and grabbing weapons. Seeing my chance to enter the main building I go back behind it and start using earth magic. Copying the movements my mother made to build Cerberus's doghouse I move the wall around until there is a big enough hole for me to easily crawl through. I crawl in and go through the desk. I unlike the bandit leader go through it slowly and check every item there. I take the gold bags which their are 3 of them in the room and I didn't find the rings in the desk. I look around the room and see a bookcase. I quietly move over their and inspect the books and take the titles that interest me. I take “advanced acupuncture techniques” and “encyclopedia of herbs” while i'm looking at the bookcase I go to pick up a book on the highest shelf and kick something under the bookcase. I get down and look at what I kicked. Its a black worn box. I open it and inside are 5 rings of mana. The only thing going through my mind is

“F*ck Codex will want to merge them again.”

then I hear a noise I quickly hide behind the bookcase and become very still. The box is in my hand and I transfer it over into my ring of storage. I do the same with my books. The hair on the back of my neck is all the way up. I wait another 5 minutes and go to the entrance I made. I go through it and using earth magic repair it. I move around the camp again but it seems all the bandits are still moving around getting weapons and putting armour on. Some are even herding all the goblins into a building. The building is relatively small but its attached to the mountain. After watching them go and leave for a while I realize it isn't a building but an entrance to the cave itself. I wait a whole hour more and now the bandits start leaving the camp they all have horses. Once the camp settles down I move around looking for nothing in particular as the entrance to the mountain was guarded. Then an idea comes to me and I ask codex to start it up.

“would having a three Headed Cerberus running around be a good distraction?”

“yup”

“then tell him its lunch time.”

I wait a whole 30 seconds by the entrance of the mountain until I hear screaming from the center of the camp. The guards guarding the front rush to the commotion and I just walk in as I hear people getting ripped apart in the background. I enter the cave and it looks like a big community area. Their are several areas that split off and I walk down one of them. It seems like I walked down the dormitory as all the doors are equally spaced apart from each other. At the end of the hall I see a well decorated door and enter it. When I enter their is a library and a desk. I go through the desk and the only thing their is a bunch of crummy documents. I look through the books and don't find anything that interests me. Codex doesn't see anything good either and gives his opinion

“it seems like a bunch of child’s books”

just as I’m about to leave I hear

“achoo”

i turn around and don't see anything. Thinking i'm hearing things I head back to the door

“achoo”

now that I know i'm not hearing things i...

sprint to the door. I go out and sprint down the hall. I can here some one's pounding steps behind me. I get to the community area and run down another hall. After going 5 steps in I see a split sideways off the path I jump towards the turn roll sideways then standup and press myself to the wall. The person following me starts running down this hall and blows right by. I count to ten. And head back to the hall. I pick a different one at random and find what im looking for. I see all the goblins in one large prison cell. I put my hands on the bars and seeing this the goblins run to a corner of the room. I pull on the iron bars bending them completely apart. When im done both my arms and back feel awful I step away and lay down on the ground facing the hole sideways so I can rest my head on the ground and make sure they don't betray me. They walk out and come closer to me after ten minutes. When one gets within 3 meters of me I get up and head towards the entrance saying nothing. I crouch and look around the common area. There is no one here. I can here the goblins behind me following about 5 meters behind me. Since were around the same height it feels like im leading a bunch of kids. I crouch and head towards the door avoiding chairs and other things that might make noise. Just as im about to go out the entrance I hear it again.

“achoo”

since I know the goblins are dumb and won't be able to outrun it I turn around and look towards the voice. Its a small girl with white hair holding a teddy bear. It makes me feel really stupid. I ran away from such a beauty! Man am I an idiot. Seeing me notice her she starts backing away. She must be the cautious type like Anna eh? So I completely ignore her I go out the entrance and the goblins follow. I can still here people yelling and screaming from PAIN. But the number is only one or two people hearing this. I move quickly with the goblins in tow to the way I entered the camp earlier. As i'm doing this I tell PAIN to sniff out the remaining rats. I lead the goblins out and into a clearing then using VERY VERY simply gestures to tell them to stay. I go back to the camp and start collecting bones from the remains. It seems that PAIN is very thorough and there isn't that much only about .02 tons worth of bones. By this time PAIN is following me and then I hear horses. I tell PAIN to run off and make a break for the nearest exit. I make it there with lots of time and head back towards the goblins. We then look around for a cave which we find just before 6 o'clock at night. I leave PAIN to protect them from anything as he is a huge deterrent for attacking. I head home and walk inside. While I’m not covered in blood I am covered in mud and dirt. My mother sees me and grabs a bowl of stew for me to eat. I sit down and just as I’m about to take a bite the door opens and I hear

“achoo”

its the white haired girl from earlier. She is completely soaked and caked in mud and her teddy bear is...

somehow completely clean. My mother stares at her confused and then asks

“whats your name?”

she after hearing the question sprints off. I don't say anything eat my dinner then walk outside to clean my clothes off. I go to the pool i made earlier and its alot bigger. It now is deeper then i am tall and the dam is much larger. Its about 6 meters by 6 meters now. I walk in and start cleaning my clothes with just the water. These are my worst clothes so it isn't to bad. As i am cleaning my clothes the girl from earlier goes to the opposite side of the river ans starts cleaning her clothes. She is about the same age as myself and looks alot like a doll. Once i finish cleaning i wait patiently at the other edge of the pool watching her. She finishes washing her clothes and walks off. I follow this time but i go into stealth mode using every trick in my book to not be noticed. She eventually lays down on a bunch of leaves. I watch her fall asleep. I then soundlessly approach. I look at her sleeping face. Its quite pretty. I pick her up and bring her home slipping in unnoticed with her. I then put her in the bed and slip out unnoticed. After that i walk in make sure i get noticed by my parents and then go to bed. Anna comes in a couple of minutes later and i motion for her to be quite. Another ten minutes later i can hear Sophia sneaking into the house. My parents i can tell haven't noticed her. She also slips into the bed and i motion for her to be quite as well. The bed is quite full. Me and the white haired girl are in the middle while Anna is on my other side and Sophia is on the outside, when she tried to complain i quietly told her

“early bird gets the worm.”

about an hour later i fall asleep listening to three girls sleeping breaths.
