Peasant to Rich
Chapter Four ~ Crazy Old Man! ~
I stare over towards Charles, shockingly.He's either joking, being his usual joking self, or he's gone insane.I mean, he's got to be insane.His face is...I don't even know. I think.Every footstep brings more fear.
"Hello Charles, doing fine?" I hesitantly say.
"YAHINGLE DINGLE!BAAAAHAA DEEH!" Charles screams at me.
Some of his spit flies on my face.Well this is just great.I wipe off the wetness off my face and look up.He's not there.How did he move so fast?Where is he?All these questions surround my head...
"BAAAHA PLUTTERDUM!" Charles voice triumphs.
The thought hits me.I slowly tilt my head upwards.There he is, in a tree, screaming his head off.Well this is no joke.
"Uh...Hey Charles...Doing fine?
"YURFINGLE PRADADONGO!" Charles screams.
Now I swear, his head is turning red.It always was rosy, but that was only his cheeks.This is blood red.A deep, deep red.Finally he falls off the tree and his top hat falls off.Once again, he screams his head off as he grabs his hat and performs some kind of belly dance.At once I rush inside his home, hoping he is distracted enough.Rummaging through his potions, and books, and tools, I find a note.
The note says It's for me!
To Duke ~
Greetings, Duke.By now you probably are seeing me shout super loud that my head is turning purple.This is how I want it to be.After finding out about my last living family members death, my uncle, I have decided to make myself insane.I literally will have no mind anymore.I wish to do what I please, and what I please is to not live anymore.I will be alive, just not mentally.I have brewed up a potion to make myself mindless, a great feat indeed.Part of this whole predicament was a bet I made.You see, this potion was one of the hardest potions to make.I made it, except the person I bet with said he would only give it to me if I proved its reality.So I'm gonna drink it.In front of his eyes.I'm guessing he gave me the money, and I need you to retrieve it.It is probably somewhere around my home.If not, then go to a man named...Rigolt.He will give it to you most likely.And keep the money, you'll need it.
Goodbye, my friend.
~ Charles ~
I am so mad at this Rigolt person!And sort of Charles!I just need to think a little...It'll be fine!I'll just find him...Why is my life so hard...The things I do for friends.Well, it's time to get a little more serious.
I walk out the door and bid goodbye to Charles, but of course all I get is a scream.Soon enough I reach the town, with normal people, including one shady person carrying a sack full of gold.He looks confused...as if he missed a delivery...
Amazing.
