So came the next day. JD had met up with her new trainer, Gale, and together they set out, but not before buying some needed supplies. The man had bought her a long sword which she found somewhat difficult to hold right, due to it's size, and more magic supply. They were to train her swordmanship and her magic skill on simple easy creatures. Since she refused to kill kittens puppies or horsies (as she called them) they set out to into the newbie dungeon. During the coarse of their training JD ended up getting hit alot, but as she went further into the dungeon her skills seemed to get better. She moved away from attacks quicker and she could hit more accurately. She enjoyed this, it maid her feel strong. After a days worth of fighting the extremely tired pair went outside of the dungeon and sat outside britian bank for a few to talk over the plans for the next day.

JD
"that was so fun. "smiles" We should do that... like every day"

GALE
"we will, untill you are trained well enough"

JD
"good, i think that it is for the best. "yawns" well now i am tired so i will take my leave, tomorrow we will meet here again and do it all over."

Gale
"yes, i believe that is a good idea. Farewell JD"

JD
*nods* "goodbye Gale."

JD made her way back to the bridge and again climbed the steep embankment to go underneath. When she got there she saw a green gnome sitting were she slept.

JD
"what are you doing here?"

Gnome
"sitting. What does it look like?"

JD
"this is MY shelter"

Gnome
*shrugs*"theres room for two is there not?"

JD
grrrrr "you smell funny, go away"

Gnome
"well you're crazy"

JD
"what makes you say that"

Gnome
"becuase i'm not even real" *poofs out of existance*

JD sighed and walked over to her spot to lay down, mumbling bad things about gnomes under her breath. She slept well that night, dreamless as always.The next day brought the same things, along with the next and the next. After about a month of training the newbie dungeon with both swordsmanship and magic her trainer brought her to harder dungeons outside of britain. She found that after months of training spells and fighting came quite easily to her, and she was stronger too. The sword was light in her hand and the armor she began to wear almost felt like the robes she started out with. At the end of a year Gale left her to wander and make her own living, upon were she started to make her money. She didn't buy anything meaningless at all and rarely ate or slept, her main concern was with acquiring the money to buy her parents graveyard. Along the way in her journey she met another person, who graciously helped her out. This woman was named Ares. As they traveled together, Ares balanced JD's craziness. When JD would hallucinate, Ares would tell her that it wasn't real, helping her distinguish fact from reality. Even though the gnome still taunted JD her craziness seemed to be controlled. Eventually, after about two years of saving JD had the money to buy her graveyard, with much objection from Ares.

Ares
"are you really thinking about buying a graveyard? I mean you'd have to buy the whole church wouldn't you?"

JD
"so? what's so bad about buying a church? It's my family in there, and i want to be with them. They love me and they miss me when i'm not there, the little gnome even said so"

Ares
"the little gnome isn't real, in the first place, secondly you're family is dead, they are in another world. Just becuase you are with their bodies doesn't mean that you are with them"

JD
"And just becuase you can't see gwayn my green gnome doesn't mean he's not there either. And besides, i want to be with my family and that's the end of it. So i am going to buy the britian church and make it my home and be with my family."

Ares
"the church is the home of the gods. I doubt that they would relocate for 100,000 gold or 1,000,000 gold. They are more faithful than that."

JD
"what's so great about that land that they have to have the church their anyway? Is it sacred? Did the gods piss on that land and now it's holy? I think not. It's just anyother land and any land can be bought and i will buy this land becuase i want to be with my family."

Ares
*sigh* "whatever, you'll see, You can't buy the church, it's impossible."

JD
"oh, i'll buy the church you'll see. Just like the little green gnome said i couldn't kill a dragon, and i did."

Ares rolled her eyes and shook her head as they walked onward towards britian. The bank was in the center of the town and it took about 4 hours walk to get there from were they were. JD stopped by the bank and withdrew her money. After taking out all she had (a substantial amount) she walked behind the bank were the church was. She recognized the pastor and walked straight up to him. Ares followed her with a look of worry on her face.

Priest
"Alas, The poor insane one. How has life treated you child? Where have you been?"

JD
"i've been obtaining money, to buy your church. I want it to be my home, so i can live with my parents and never have to leave them.

Priest
*laugh* "you are joking right? You can not buy a church. This is the home of the gods. No amount of money could make you so lucky."

JD
"I will give you enough money to relocate and buy everything you need for a new church plus enough to feed a hundred homeless for 5 years"

Priest
"hmmm. come inside"

JD left Ares standing outside , dumbstruck by just happened. After about an hour JD came out of the church with a smile on her face.

JD
"we stay here tonight my friend "

Ares
"what happened?"

JD
"Gold is always stronger than faith"

And so JD bought her church and lived in it with her parents dead bodies in the grave yard, never having to be sent away when the night fell again.
