Get good shit (while you make friends with the " witch ".)

You were in full gold rush you didn't know what how would you take it all in your lifetime.
Your attractive companion is watching you curiously.
Here and there conversations about the value of things pop up, often ending with "you humans are strange".

Eventually you reply:
"your demons are strange"
"haha you believe that demon bullshit hahaha"
You look at her confused
"It's true some of us walk on dark paths but honestly it's too stressful for me"

"but then why are you so powerful?"
" counter question why is it raining or why do toothless leeches taste best when they have sucked that thing between your legs. I have no idea"
You refrain from explaining but the response makes you a little hard.

"Then where do the stories of curses and mind control come from and you just told me earlier you could take my soul?" you ask a bit more energetically.
"hmmm... because it's true. I did not say that we meet your standard for good.
You humans, without wanting to offend you, are just lower beings for us.
It becomes quiet the fog swallows many of the sounds from the swamp.
While you have to digest her statement, it was true, unfortunately.
For her you were probably just a stupid weak human.
You believed her that she was not a demon.

Silently you start digging in the mud, you suddenly feel so pathetic.
" Sorry!?" she said, "I think I was a little too direct."
".... All right, I wasn't very nice to you in the beginning.
Let's just say we're even."

she giggled, and was so cute doing it, that you thought "what's your name anyway?"
"name ... Hmmm.... I don't have a name"
"ookayyy... Then... I'll call you ... Kiara.
Kiara the swamp queen. "

You laugh while she blushes.
" Whatever you say, stupid human... "
Then I'll call you leech boy. No wait better leechy, waaa I don't know um silly exactly silly." you had to smile.
Before you both look at each other and start laughing.

Again with some motivation you continue your search.
A few nice things have been found, your bag is full.
The rest you had hidden in a big bush on the shore.
Obviously there was much more here you would come back from time to time to get more and more.
Now you realized the sun was already setting and the way back was long and not without treachery.
Even if your new girlfriend would help you get out of the CessPonds.
The nearest settlement wasn't exactly around the corner.

Like she could smell it. "Do you need a place to stay for the night?"
"Well, it would probably be better."
"You know, I like you.
You're not some lowly human to me.
So you want to come back to my place."
Not some lowly human, she seemed sorry for the comment earlier (even if it was true)
will you accept the invitation?
