The Hag's offer

I was sleeping, she appears on my mind without warning ... and I know I that need to get stronger faster.

" You own me, Ru. I'm here to collect. Give me stone. "

" Our deal is over ... **You know my name, so you've been following me ... And you know that it. You also have 100 souls behind you ... Ah, you want to make a new deal, and offer me a stone. I refuse. "**

" REFUSE ? You are not afraid ? I'm the ... "

" Queen of the Basement, one of them ... and so on ... I don't want your stone, but you can get my favour offering me privacy. My resting period is mine. Do you understand ? "

" That is ... possible ... now tell me. Humans are already preparing to hunt us ... due to your actions."

" I was providing a service ... in a sense we are both on the same business ... And that is the only reason, I'm still listening to you. However, I don't have a solution. Many heroes were hunting Hags before I moved, and many will continue to hunt Hags after I present you my idea. But based on that offer you can think, and find other ways, so that the game continues to unfold. "

" GAME ? This is not a game, Ru. They are not like you, and kill us to take our stones. "

" They kill you, after you kill a few hundreds of them ... The wheel keeps spinning. "

" I accept ... your offer, Ru ... Tell me. "

" First, you should rethink your business model ... There is a heartstone on the market, and has 10 cures inside ... You can provide another for a different price. 1 cure for 20 slaves criminals, no questions allowed on what you will do to them. No noble will refuse it. For themselves, for the loved ones, ... You just have to be creative."

" You announced a service ... creating a demand ... but no supply ... Hahahaha ... interesting path. And 20 **** criminals removed ... will not call attention. Creative ... are you saying that ... "

" Accidents happen, one noble is trying to backstab another noble, chariots are looted ... Be creative. "

" You think ... like us, Ru ... Providing the problem, and offering a solution is ... "

" The luxury life of the nobles will eventually attract problems, with or without your creativity. Our deal os done, don't show up on my sleep again."

" Sleep ... so you are opening a door ... for future deals, Ru ? "

" I'm going to visit the **world, Hag ... And like you, I have thirst for knowledge, it's possible that we need to talk again .... or not ... The wheel is spinning, and we are just little strings weaving a big tapestry. "**

" Someone like me a string ? Hahahaha ... You amused me Ru, I grant you this. "

" That's a map ? "

" A map ... with all we saw. And is also a collection of knowledge. Watching closely any area, will provide you knowledge of it ... A game for you to play. "

" And what do you want in return for this map, Hag ? "

" Follow your path, Ru ... That is enough ... This town is not enough for you. "

The hag is gone ... the map stayed ... inside my mind ... all possible locations to eat ... I mean explore ... I'll go to ...
