274 7.2 Making Acquaintances (2/2)

'You can come out now. There's no one around here except for a harmless old lady. Come...I'm brewing some tea. My...my...you've got a red name over you and it would take almost 24 hours before it turns itself into yellow, then green once more. White is meant for NPCs only, they could attack you but attacking them in return would turn your name to yellow instead. If you were to kill them, it would turn to a bloody red.”

There is no one else in this segment of the wilderness and she was actually beckoning to me. I walked out from the thicket I was cowering from and held the basket in the crook of my arm. I walked slowly to her and I greeted her.

”Hello, elder. How can you sense me hiding over there? And I maintained this shawl over me but yet you are able to see the red name over me. But you do not have any name over your head, so would it be customary to know your name, elder?”

”Just acknowledge me as Elder should be enough. It seemed you had come a long way, far away beyond this time and right now it seems that you are in a bit of a muddle since you had slain 15 lads in the marketplace, last night.”

”Oh, alright Elder. Yes, indeed I have come a long way from here. How did you able to perceive such matters? Do you practise in such witchcraft? I'm sorry for being rude, but it seems that way, doesn't it?”

I said in a matter-of-fact to the elderly woman as there is no other way she could have sensed these matters unless she had a radio of some sort and able to listen to the breaking news at the marketplace last night. Hahahaha.

”The birds and the trees tell me so, child. You are not who you think you are right now. As I've said earlier, you had come from a long way before this time. Come...sit close to me so that I could see you clearly. Being an elderly woman my age, you should be aware of my poor eyesight. Don't worry, I won't gobble you up. Heeheehee.”

I went up closer to the elderly woman and sat down on a tree stump near the fireplace as she sat there near the small cauldron. As she lifted the lid, I could smell the unmistakable scent of cranberry tea.

”Are you making cranberry tea, Elder? It smelled wonderful.” I asked as I smacked my lips as the scent wafted through my nostrils.

”Yes, I am sure you are familiar with the herbs around this woods. Come, have a cup of freshly brewed cranberry juice. I will tell you more about yourself than you already know and also to get rid of the red name above your head too.”

I extended my hand and reached for a wooden cup that was fashioned out of some hollowed-out wood and sipped a bit of the cranberry tea after blowing gently into it.

”*Ahem* Let me begin...you are not Robin Hood but someone who had mysteriously adopted over the body of Robin Hood...” she began to foretell my existence as she cleared her throat.
