ok kinda sad that only one person replied to that last one and one person pmd me but thanks to them i will post ch6 and without further aiedo here you go
----------------------------
it's been a week since i have joined the community that called their village rishka which i have no clue why. i have decided to keep all my items secret by not taking them out, except my black iron sword which is a jet black sword and handle with no hand guard. i have to admit it looked fairly cool i also spent 350 gold to repair my wall and some nice hard leather armor with light metal plates inside where it won't hinder my movements and a streak black cloak that is tough as leather but i mainly bought it from the merchant since it looked cool and is fairly tough. i spent most of the week getting adjusted to the life here, staring at the wooden perimeter fence i remembered my time here that i was luckily able to get a house to himself since he was strong he did not live in one of the three barracks like most people. there was a sort of ranking system here the strong are treated a bit better because they go on hunts and are the main fighters and surprisingly no one has a problem with this i guess they just do not want to fight.
A few other places i visited frequently is the mess hall and my house that i was able to move a little bit outside the encampment for privacy. i barely use the infirmary and i only went to the market twice. but my new ability living ice it costs ten times as much spirit than my normal version of ice. i was able to get the gist of it and created four human noid ice statues with ice spears to guard my house in which everyone thought i was just testing my power to see how long my ice will last without melting.

Today was the time for my actual first hunt with red, doc and Trent. Trent has a rank B ability for dragon breath which allowed him to shoot out elements such as fire, ice, water etc. i almost laughed at the ability since he looked incredibly funny doing so especially when he has dip in his mouth, however, he is at the last of his dip and i could swear he almost cried, i guess his whole reason for the hunt to get enough gold to buy more. as we were leaving the gate guard named joe said “good hunting”. we all just noded and passed him.
“so red what are we going after on this hunt” i asked
“its crystal” she growled “and we are hunting just some normal goblins that are causing trouble for our hunters”
“ok red”
she just sighed accepting the nickname because i was calling her red every time i seen her. as we continued into the woods we saw an old wood cabin with about 27 goblins cooking something now unrecognizable while some kind of creaking and heavy breathing is happening inside the cabin. we quickly created a plan that trent will use fire breath on the ones around the fire while i clean up the rest with my ice needles, red will kill any that come out of the cabin while doc will stay back and observe to change the plan as needed.
a loud roar and a stream of fire came out of the bush instantly covering 21 of the goblins while i used my ice to propel myself forward i arrived in about 6 seconds and shot 6 ice needles into the eyes of each goblin. i smiled at how my control on my ice increased. as soon as i saw them starting to fall i immediately used my ice to propel me towards the cabin to help red. she was fighting three goblins that did not have their loincloths on for some reason, they must sleep without them as i sent a shard of ice into the on behind red while she instantly cut the two in front of her with blinding strength and speed. we nod to each other and open the door into their cabin and was instantly assaulted by an incredibly musty and rotting smell. but we still walked in and what i saw i don't know if i regretted coming here or not after all i saw one of my friends again but in this state i just froze crystal to she turned incredibly pale and was trembling. hearing doc and trent approaching shook me out of my shock as i went up towards what i believed to be kate i unconsciously made myself forget them they were there in my memory but they weren't at the same time. it all came to me at once seeing Kate like this her bare double D breasts were exposed, with some kind of nasty crust on and in her her once long silky red hair was matted and was stuck together by the crust. her once playful and caring eyes are now nothing but a dark brown void that does not react to anything.

With all the the emotions that i had been suppressing from the very beginning i began to cry without a noise, my eyes were flowing like rivers as i picked her up and carried her out towards the doorway crystal looked like she wanted to say something but nothing came out. Once i got to the doorway trent, and doc saw me and went quiet and looked away. i carried her to the small calm river 20 meters away and set her on the side of it. looking at her i notice her breathing was small and short and never even tried to move her body anymore. just looking at what happened to her made me think how badly everyone else must have probably died horribly and i was just relaxing and talking to red or doc and just playing around while they suffered i am trash. no…. i am not trash i did what most people should do and lived i feel bad about all that must have happened to her but i must not let it eat me up from the inside especially while she is like this she is still alive…… i don't know if this is alive but i need to fix her it is the only way i could fix my mistake of having it easy i will bring her back so she can live also.
i decided to bring her back to her usual self somehow even though i don't know where to start. well the best place to start would be to wash her off from all the crust. i pull out a washcloth that was 2 gold and soaked it in the river then started washing her from the face downwards. it took about 45 minutes to finish, she only reacted to the cold water by blinking once and only once and after i finished i put my black cloak on her to cover her up and when i finally look into the water i saw my reflection and i could see that my hair was changing colors from the dirty blond it was to blue it seems any new hair i grow from my roots it will be blue i will have to cut it soon anyways but another noticeable thing is that i now have two long read marks on my face from crying so much. i picked Kate up and went towards the others. they were silent i guess waiting for me to speak first and i just said “let's go home”
they all nodded and we walked all the way back to the encampment in silence.
