They were really good apples too. Almost as good as the blackberries I found a bit later.
Well. You know how I mentioned the other day that I was banished. Part of being banished is that you get a night, from sunset to sunrise, to get as far from the city as possible and then they release the Outlaw Hunt, a bunch of stone golem dogs, to hunt you down and kill you but if you can make it to the border, you live. I knew there was no way I'd make it to the border in a night so I used the Wild Magic to ask for help in getting to safety. Shalkan was the answer I got and I got Shalkan because I was and still am a virgin. But magic has a price and the price of Shalkan's help was to remain chaste and celibate for a year and a day. Celibate is the easy part but chaste can get a little difficult when you're suddenly present with naked females.
