- M-Mom, maybe it's n-not worth it? W-why can't I study l-like everyone else?
In response, the woman placed a hand on her daughter's shoulder and said in a soft voice:
- Meretil, my dear, this is necessary. All the success of our family has been built on not missing opportunities to be ahead of others. At your age, I was also scared. I was scared, but I didn't let my parents down. Wouldn't you want to disappoint us?
Swallowing hard, Meretil shook her head negatively. She didn't want to disappoint her parents; they had done so much for her. And yet, she was still frightened. Frightened by the pain that awaited her. Frightened by what she would have to do with the prisoners.
- Well done, – the Todal smiled gently, – just take the first step, and then you will get into it.
The girl really wanted to believe her mother's words, but she could barely suppress the tremor as they approached the massive doors, which now seemed more like gates. Before Meretil could say anything, her mother opened these very doors. The doors that would forever change the life of the young Todal.
Meretil always wondered how her life would turn out if she had been born into another family. Or, even worse, if she hadn't been a Todal. Right now, she pondered this while staring at the frozen head of a Larium bandit who was being sought in the Earth Empire. The grimace of horror frozen on his face only made him look even more repulsive.
- Still, despite having to deal with scum like you now, I am happy, – the sorceress muttered to herself, – at least I wasn't born scum like you.
Having finished humiliating the severed head, Meretil wrapped it in a piece of cloth soaked in blood and put it back in her bag. This bag was specifically intended for the heads of wanted criminals. It wasn't that the Todal enjoyed carrying around other people's heads, but there was good money paid for such criminals. And imperial currency was still valuable, so it would be foolish not to take advantage of this opportunity. In addition, the danger of this bounty hunting helped Meretil stay in shape, which was extremely important for a mage like her. However, fortunately or unfortunately, after several victims, the Lariumites became even more cautious than before. She even had to run quite a bit to catch this particular victim. Therefore, soon the sorceress would have to change activities. What exactly she hasn't decided yet, but there will definitely be less running through forests and fewer severed heads. At least, if we talk about severed heads in her bag.

I turned out to be some kind of support, not a damage dealer. Well, it'll do, I think.
