Stumbled into good luck

You had, in fact, made it worth Khira's while. She had user her expert skills with her tongue and throat to get you up again, before she rode your cock in her ass. You felt like a shambly mess when you left her sordid room; sweaty and as if your clothes didn't fit right. Your coinpurse was lighter than you wanted it to be by a fair margin; the shame of having not asked that question up front. For all the thrill of losing your virginity, you walked away in an unusual feeling. It wasn't quite regret, but you did feel like you'd come away feeling a little wiser for the world.

At least, you thought, you were walking away with your head held a little higher than some. As you neared the door, you heard commotion behind you. A naked man was being carried out by some of the protection of the establishment. There was a loud groan as he was thrown, his back landing hard on the stone street. You winced at the initial action, though was quickly intrigued as he rose. Holding his hand out, a staff appeared from nowhere, which he used to help get back up on his feet. As he rose fully, a simple set of robes appeared over his body. He was slightly shorter than you, despite a number of years he clearly possessed. His neatly trimmed beard was showing the first signs of gray against the rest of the black. Although he was without a spell book, you were convinced he was a wizard of some description, and possibly someone who could help you.

"Are you okay?" you asked as you hurried through the door "What was that all about?"

"I'm fine." He brushed his legs, though the magically created robes had no signs of dirt "Just a case of temporary embarrassment. I doubt one such as you has the solution for that."

"I don't think you need to feel embarrassed, sir. I'm the only one who saw it."

He groaned and rolled his eyes "It's the way polite society speaks of going broke. Did you just roll in from the Traxian wastes or something?"

"No, Vishy farmlands" You replied quickly and proudly. The wizard's smile carried a tone of chastisement.

"Almost as bad. As it turns out, I'm fine. I just need to find a way to procure some coin, and I'll be on my way."

"Well, for an adventurer like you, I'll bet that's easy."

"Eheh. Your confidence is charming friend, but a little misplaced. If I can't handle those three ruffians throwing me out in disgrace, there's little chance that I can address any of the bounties or rewards that are out. Not alone, at any rate."

"Maybe I could come with you!" you said earnestly "I'm something of a hero myself you know, and could use a bit of help myself. I need to make some money, and after that, I need to find a witch and take her out."

The man looked at you worriedly "A witch, you say? You wouldn't happen to be going after Writhyl, are you?" You hadn't, in fact, ever learned the name of the witch that cursed your dear brother, but you reckon these good people couldn't likely tolerate more than one witch, if the witches could even tolerate each other.

"Do you know where she lives? I need to make her pay for cursing my brother!"

"Listen friend. I don't know her personally, but she's got a reputation around here. Writhyl doesn't do anything to someone who doesn't deserve it, and she's not known for playing nice. Folks around here give her space, and she leaves folks alone. That is, until she gets uninvited guests, or she hears through the grapevine that someone's causing problems. I think you should back away now while you're ahead, and before she curses you as well."

"I can't do that. My brother is all I have left. There's no way he could have done anything to upset her!" As the words left your mouth, you quietly realized you didn't really know if that was true. You were so little, and the years between you so far, you don't really know what he could have gotten up to, especially on his own without your parents to keep him on the narrow path. Still, you can't imagine that there was any real justification for what this Writhyl did to him.

"Suit yourself" He said with a dismissive shrug "Just be sure you know what you're getting into. If you're still up for it, I'll take you up on that offer for some extra help. I'm sure we can find something to get us back the coin we gave those filthy whores."
