Neppie slowly led her old donkey through the streets, her cart was brightly colored, the smell of food followed from behind, making everyone turn. She had her head down, heading to the main street to set up. Neppie turned and went down an alley, the main market place was seen at the end. A man stepped out of the shadows, blocking her path.
"May I help you?" Neppie asked in Yoreiq. The man laughed and pointed at Neppie, looking behind him.
"She's an outsider." He said looking back at her, three more men showed up, two behind her, the other next to the speaker. "How about we give her a warm welcome."
The two behind her advanced, one pulled out a bat, he grinned as he raised the bat, about to take a swing at her cart when Neppie ran forward, placing her palm onto his chest, pushing him. He flew back, hitting the wall and was out cold. There was silence as Neppie stood up straight, her head still down.
"You bitch!" The man's partner said, charging her, pulling out his knife. Neppie turned and ducked, sliding to the other side of him and ran to the other two men, jumping, her foot aimed at his chest. He reached up and grabbed her foot, and flipped her. Neppie's hands touched the ground, back flipping to the other side of the man. The three men stood in a line, the other two pulled out their weapons, one a mace, the other a short sword. Neppie stood up again, bowing.
"I suggest that you calm down."Neppie said, speaking in the common language. "There are plenty of noodles around for everyone." She looked up, grinning, holding out three bowls that came out of nowhere. "We have Vamp Garlic, Onion Butter, Mother rice, Blue lotus, Silver Moon..."
As Neppie rattled off the menu, one of the men ran forward, yelling. He stopped in front of her and raised his mace over his head. Neppie stopped and jumped as he slammed down, landing on his back. Neppie, placed her foot onto his head and jumped off, forcing his face to connect to the ground. She landed, the bowls were left untouched. Neppie pouted, looking behind her.
"He didn't get to try my noodles." She said, sniffing. She set down one of the bowls and stood back up. Suddenly one of the bowls went flying. Everything seemed to go into slowmode.
Neppie was dogging a foot that kicked at her. The foot hit the bowl instead, sending into the air. The noodles left the bowl, and headed to the ground, spattering across the stone. The bowl landed and rolled into a stop. Everything went back to normal. Neppie's child like face turned dark, anger seemed to fill her eyes.
"You fucken ASSHOLE!" She yelled, punching the guy straight in the face. He stumbled back, but Neppie didn't stop delivering one punch after another. Eventually he dropped, his eyes rolled to the back on his head. Neppie turned to the last man, the one that stopped her from before. He gulped and raised his hands.
"Hang on. W-wait a m-minute. Let's talk about th-this!" He stampered. Neppie growled and charged him. That day, the alley turned bright, guards that showed up saw four unconscious men, all talking about a demon child. Down the block, in the main market. A brightly colored cart was set up, a lot of customers surrounded the place. A young girl was smiling as if she didn't have a care in the world.
