Chapter 170 - Chapter 170 Mira’s Father

As Thomas walked around the village with Mira, Peri, and Ceil they asked "Why are the people here all staring at you?" Thomas glanced around them and said "Before you ask what I did just know that they were already staring at me when I first arrived." Ceil stared at the other people and asked "Are you sure you don't have any clue?" As an orc man approached Thomas he shouted "Demi human come with me!" Thomas stared at the orc and said "Sorry bad timing, try again later." Thomas turned back to Ceil and said "From what I hear some noble wants to see me or something." The orc but a hand on Thomas's shoulder and said "This is the last time I'll ask nicely." Thomas glanced at the orc and said "I already told you, I'm busy go away." Mira stared at the orc and asked "Should you really be ignoring him like that." The orc man punched Thomas in the back of his head knocking him into the ground. As Thomas stood back up his head was bleeding. Thomas glared at the orc man and shouted "What the hell was that for?" The orc man picked him up by his shirt and said "Come with me before I do a lot worse." Thomas shrugged and said "Sorry I already told you I'm busy." The orc man tossed Thomas through a wall and shouted "Then I'll bring you in with force." Mira glanced at Peri and asked "Should we do something?" Peri shook her head and said "I'm sure he'll be fine." Ceil glanced at Mira and said "I think it would be best if we went on ahead." Thomas stood up and held his head as he mumbled "Apparently talking isn't an option." Thomas looked over and seen another orc man sitting in a chair eating. Thomas stared at the man and said "I know this looks bad it wasn't my fault." As the other orc man jumped through the hole in the wall and punched Thomas through the other wall he shouted "Do you give up yet?" Thomas stood up once again and mumbled "Its actually disappointing that I'm so used to this amount of pain already." The orc man dashed towards Thomas again as he said "Come with me at once." Thomas stood there and said "Yeah sure whatever." The orc man stopped his fist an inch away from Thomas's face and said "Smart choice." Thomas stared at the orc and said "I know if I would've killed you I sure would've gotten an ear full from of the others if they found out." The orc man turned around and said "Follow me." As Thomas followed him to a rather large building quite far away from the town he asked "Where are you taking me?" The orc man stared at Thomas and said "I'm taking you to a noble who is rather interested in a demi human with magic." As they entered the building Thomas mumbled "That doesn't answer my question." As they stood in the entrance a rather old man entered the room and said "It really is you." The orc man stared at him and said "If this is who your looking for then give me my reward." The man walked towards Thomas and said "It's been an awful long time." Thomas stared at the man confused and said "I don't know what your talking about." The orc man stared at the old man and said "I'm waiting for my reward." The old man glanced at the orc and said "Be patient." The orc man glared at him and said "I expect to be paid in full." The old man waved his head and said "That's enough allow me to talk about to the good old days with my friend here." Thomas glanced at the orc and watched as his head fell to floor. Thomas watched the head roll around as he said "Not to be rude or anything but I don't have any memories of, well anything." The man walked towards a door and said "No matter I only have a request for you." Thomas stared at him and asked "What is this request?" The man stared at Thomas and said "I don't know if your aware but I'm a vampire." Thomas stared at him and said "If your request is something about my blood I'll pass." The man stared at Thomas and said "Of course not I would actually like you to find my daughter, originally I left around a thousand years ago, I don't even know if she rememberers me but I would be great full to see her once more." Thomas stared at him and asked "Then why couldn't you have gotten someone else to find her?" The man walked towards Thomas and said "If I recall you should have some sort of detection magic." Thomas stared at him and said "Not magic, but I do have an item that could help." The man walked towards Thomas and said "Very well, if you find her I'd like for you to bring her to me." Thomas held his hand out and had the compass appear in it as he said "I should be able to find her." The man stared at Thomas and said "I'll be sure to reward you if you find her." Thomas glanced at the orc and said "I'd prefer not to be paid like him." The man stared at the orc's corpse and said "You have nothing to fear he was simply being a nuisance and so I removed him." Thomas stared at the compass and said "The only issue is I don't know how far away she is but I do know the general direction." The man stared at Thomas and said "I don't know how far away she is nor if she is alive but I wish you luck." Thomas walked out the door and said "I'll see you around then." The man nodded and said "I'll be counting on you." As Thomas left he began to follow the compass as he mumbled "I could be on a wild goose chase." Thomas shrugged and said "I guess it's something to do." After following the compass for a while Thomas found himself back in the town. As the people started staring at him once again he mumbled "They still don't know that I already met with the noble." Thomas shrugged and said "Well I guess it doesn't matter but the compass points this way." As the compass turned Thomas glanced beside him and mumbled "She's over there?" Thomas sighed and said "At least we know she's alive." As Thomas walked into a building he mumbled "What if she's above or below a building?" As Thomas continued to follow the compass he bumped into Mira. Thomas stared at her for a moment and said "Mira did you by chance say you left a home a few thousand years ago?" Mira nodded and said "That's correct." Thomas stared at her and asked "And what about your parents?" Mira stared at Thomas and said "I can't say I remember them to much and I'm pretty sure my mother is dead." Thomas grabbed her hand and said "I need you to come with me for a moment." Peri and Ceil stared at him and asked "What's going on?" Thomas glanced at them and said "Nothing much." As they all followed Thomas to the old man's house Mira asked "Why did you bring me here." As they entered Thomas said "Thats part of the surprise." The old man stared at Thomas and said "Back already?" Thomas nodded and said "Turns out she was a lot closer then I thought." The man stared at the three girls and said "I only remember having one daughter." Thomas shrugged and said "The other two insisted on coming." Mira stared at Thomas and asked "Are you telling me that this man is my father?" Thomas nodded and said "Apparently he's been trying to track you down for a thousand years." The man stared at Thomas and said "You know my daughter?" Thomas nodded and said "Originally we screwed up a blood delivery and that's how we met her." Peri and Ceil whispered to each other "Do you think this is going to go well?" The old man walked towards Mira and said "Mira do you remember me?" Mira shook her head and said "I can't remember your face or mother's." The man glanced at Thomas and asked "What do you think of this man?" Mira glanced at Thomas and said "He is very kind and his blood is rather good." The man stared at Thomas and said "Your lucky my daughter likes you or I would've killed you." Thomas took a step back and said "Kill me?" The man walked towards Thomas and said "If she would've told me that you were mistreating her you wouldn't have left this place alive." The man stared at Thomas and said "Ignoring that, you did as I asked you what would you like as a reward?" Thomas stared at him for a moment and said "I'll take a mana potion." The man stared at Thomas and asked "Is that really all you want?" Thomas nodded and said "If I don't get one soon I won't be able to see a friend anymore." The man laughed and said "Normally I'd have a few that costed me an arm and a leg but I never would've thought you'd ask for something like that."
