Holas is a city across the border that is a place where it is common to find refugees although I may be a kid seeming like a refugee will make me seem less conspicuous. Since it is also across the border as long as I am careful and they just have me reported as dead I will be in less danger.
Looking around myself in the cart I decided to look at my map. To get to the city I will have to go through the dress region where the only roads lead through a couple of towns. While there I need to buy some clothes other than what I am wearing. Looking at my dress with some burn marks if it wasn't for the fire it would seem as if j was wearing the finest material which isn't wrong.
"I need to change out of this outfit."
Going through my emotional storage I grabbed a simple tunic that reached past my knees. With the tunic on and my old dress off, I stopped my cart and used magic to shred my dress. Knowing that they would probably be looking for my dead body I made it look like my body was torn apart by animals using my dress.
I know that this is a crazy move but with a slice of the blade I cut my palm making sure to bleed in the general area and on parts of the clothes. To make it look like I was torn apart even more. Soon my body started to heal so I got back into the cart and kept going on while my body felt like it was scorching and burning it was painful but I persevered and not long after I was scar free once more. Knowing that I am still going where I need to and no trace of myself is visible to others I fell back to sleep.
Waking up I was cold but I relaxed in the first town. My hair still singed short got trimmed up so that it isn't apparent. Stopping my cart I set it on auto pilot and had it set up to stop outside town so that it doesn't seem like I appeared and disappeared out of nowhere. With my bag on my back, I went into the closest clothes shop for common people.
"Welcome, what can we do for you today-?"
Coming around the counter the shop attendant was concerned.
"Hello, little missy are you lost?"
Shaking my head no I looked at her.
"My family told me to buy some food and clothes for the cold season so I am here for clothes."
Although I tried to sound mature my stuttering and meshing of words made my sentence incomprehensible.
"Awe... So your running errands for mommy and daddy?"
Nodding my head yes she was willing to help me select clothes and shoes. With her help, I found everything I wanted and needed as well as a couple of blankets and coats. Paying for it was a little worry for me but it turned out I didn't have to concern myself too much. But with the selection will be much safer and less conspicuous.
Leaving the store some people looked at me with suspicion but I put my items in my bag while also storing the rest in my item storage. Going to the next place I sold herbs for some money and asked if they had any of the currency for the country that I'm headed to. Although they were skeptical of me I was told that I could head to the next town with my parents to trade currency.
With that, I headed out. But it seemed odd to me that I was being followed.
- Stealth skills activated -
Soon the people that were following me got frantic and we were searching for where I was although I was right in front of them.
"Damn it all you had to do was steal money from a little kid. Why is it so hard to find that one kid?"
So that's why there were following me I guess I'll have to be more careful. With that thought in mind, I'm getting out of here before someone uses a trick to find me.
