4 A child's thoughts The Gods's Decree

As Tafari washed the plates, little sue applied some ointment.Even though it hurts and he grimaced after each touch,he tried to bare with it.

This ointment was made from a rare herb known as sweet grassand was said it be very effect in the healing of wounds and had themild effect of preventing infections.

He didn't mind the pain though as he thought about all that loot he stole.

"Damn Ireally should keep a low profile from now on or else next time it won't be just bruises I receive. The next time they would probably want my life as compensation".

"These gangs are not known for letting off their enemies, and I am guessing I've made it on their hit list by now ."

"More than likely I have beenmentioned to the higher up in theirlittle organisation".

He thought as he went about his business.

"I wonder what will be my score this time".

Tafari was delighted and anxious at the same time and tried to rush the washing and cleaning of the plates.

An hour later he had finally finished washing up , sweeping the floor an wiping the tables that the customers had dined. He swiftly rushed up to his room in the atticwithout a second to spare.

first he would take a bath then he wanted to see his spoils of war. After a couple minutes he sat on the bed with the cattle bag on his lap.

"hmmm, feels heavy I wonder how many silver coins these possess".

He swiftly open the bag to see the contents.

In the cattle bag he saw four purses and 3 pouches.The purses were from the females and the pouches from their males counter parts. He opened the first pouch and was disappointed in his findings of only 2 silver coins.

"You have got to be kidding me right now, How can someone walk around with this little money and dress so suave?".

He put away his disappointment and started searching the other purses.He had found in total 10 silver coin from the sum of purses in the pouch.

"Well that was not that bad was is it " he smiled and built himself up.

"The men will be better off I'm guessing".

He was delighted when his hopes were realised when he saw a sum of 25 silver coin.

" Hmmm interesting maybe I can finally buy a book about the world outside of the city".

He has always been fascinated by the outside world. In the city there were only mortals andEven though it is called a city, it said that compared to the outside world this is but a small speck in the dessert.

It is said that due to there being only mortal in the city,it is not given as much importance as those with cultivators.

Even though there are no cultivators, it is stated that once everyfew years cultivators descend in the city. They descend tosee if there are any potential youngster fit to cultivate.

This is why Tafari is seeking out more knowledge on what it takes to be a cultivator and what does it mean to cultivate.

"Will I become a god among men if I cultivate?"

He was shaking with with excited at the thought of being a great cultivator spoken about like Gods in the city.

"It must be the grandest of things" hewishfully thought.
