The next day the few who still had the courage and strength to fight headed for Schlange. The number of people who died against one of the last two wizards was almost a thousand. It was too many, but there was nothing to be done. We had to continue the mission to save the world. We could not let that person dominate us.I was the first to leave, as my wounds were serious and had to be treated by more mages. For those who were there were too exhausted. They exceeded their limits with the magic they did. I never thought we would go to these extremes, but the mission against Schlange had to continue, many lives were at risk.I just stared at the roof of the chariot all day. Zen traveled with me and helped me move at times, as I did not even lift my sword. I was back to being injured again, but it was different. Thanks to the elf that passed away none of those strange things that wizards did could affect me like before. The only thing that worried me and I wanted to know was at what momen
I was a simple royal guard, someone very carefree, ambitious and who let himself be bribed whenever he needed money. I had brown hair and light eyes. My face was somewhat long and not very expressive. The whole town knew me by my position. I had gotten the job thanks to my father's connections with other people. I saw all kinds of all races coming daily, especially dwarves, who were very strong for wars. My country is called Met, for being the best for doing all kinds of business or so I heard once and the city where I lived was Dert. It was quite a hot place, but the wind was very good, it reduced the discomfort that the weather caused.I was only guarding the gates at the entrance of this city, I was 19 years old, and I had no other reason to live, other than to eat and drink. I had no desire to get married, or anything like that. Life as a guard was the best job, at least it paid well, but one day I made a big mistake. I let a strange person into the ca
We were forced into a cave, pushed into it, and we could do nothing about it. Only five of us had a torch to light the place, so we had to avoid getting separated, but many sounds were coming from that place. Maybe monsters or animals, but they didn't stop.I didn't have a torch, but I was next to two other men who seemed to have no fear, however what we saw took away our desire to be here.Like a pile of garbage there were hundreds of dead bodies of people on the side of the road we were following. That was a clear warning that we should leave.Several of my companions headed for the exit, totally frightened. Even I did not have the courage to continue with this senseless journey, but we heard the screams of those who had tried to leave and I felt that there was no place to hide.Several ran terrified into the depths of the dungeon. None of them tried to stay there. I wanted
Minutes later we arrived at the guild, I had never been in one before. This place was made of marble stones and had some things written in another language. I felt a little lost in a place like this, there was a big wooden door and a knob to enter.The elf did not hesitate to enter and opened the door, and left it open for me to enter.My expectations fell when I entered the place. I saw a place that looked more like a bar. There were people at different tables drinking and talking. The tables in that place were made of wood and were a bit dirty. A few drunks were fighting with their hands. I didn't know what to think.-Welcome to Thornton's guild. It is one of the two that exist in the city.My disappointed face made the boss of this place laugh.-Don't be scared, that's how heroes are. When they do a mission they spend their money on anything. You
The old man was in front of me waiting for me to attack him with my sword, for me it was a challenge, the training I received from the guards of my city. I went to him, but he hit me with the sheath of the sword he had on his back.-You are too impulsive, if it were a real fight. You would already be dead, well let's start from scratch. Raise your sword to half height and tilt your legs a little more.I listened to him and tried to put the posture he had indicated to me at that moment.-Now, attack me," he shouted.This time I felt a little better and I was able to do it faster than in my first attempt, but I was beaten again and he gave me a kick that made me fall to the floor.-You must train a lot and also exercise to strengthen your muscles. Well, let's continue our training session until nightfall.There
Without telling anyone I traveled to a neighboring country, from early hours I got on a wagon that was in a caravan heading to different parts. Unfortunately for me, I did something stupid, I had no money to pay for it, so at the first stop I left the caravan without paying. The road didn't say anything to me because of the clothes I was wearing at the time, maybe he thought I was some nobleman. All apparently was a gift from the elf, I noticed that it was new by the smell and texture of the clothes.I stood in a strange town, and decided to walk to get to another town or someone to give me a hand on the way and just as I had thought it happened, but it made me feel very uncomfortable.A rather luxurious wagon with fine wood stopped when it saw me around.I kept walking there and a man with a beard and a guy with glasses spoke to me.-Are you lost?-I need to go to the city of Ya
I returned to the city of Altamira a little bad, the wounds I had on my body still hurt a lot, although they were not visible. This prevented me from moving freely. For all the people of that time I was nothing more than a simple lonely adventurer, so they all saw me walking with and passed by me as if nothing happened. Nobody knew what had happened. I decided to stay in a lonely place in the city, I wanted to think about what I would do from now on.The room where I was in front of a window, it was almost dark. Those hours caused me some melancholy, I always saw how the sun was setting in the city where I lived all my life. I began to think about what to do from now on. Even though I knew that I could live a normal life without worries, it hurt me a lot to know that everyone I knew had died. A feeling of rage began to take over me in an unbelievable way. I took a deep breath and in the midst of my thoughts I decided to take revenge and destroy that kingdom, but first make myself st
We arrived at the city where we would do the mission. There were hundreds of adventurers everywhere. It was impossible to walk calmly.Seeing the situation, Alfred did not hesitate to look for an alternative so as not to get lost among us.-Let's buy something to identify ourselves.We were all tired, we had traveled all night and we were in too uncomfortable positions, but we had to go on, we needed to do things fast.My new companions were all human, except for our leader and one other person who apparently was new like me. Each one was wearing different armor and carrying different weapons, swords, knives, daggers. There were two young archers also their bows were quite large.We walked on and on and stopped at the first store we saw. The elf bought some red cloth that he cut with a dagger and gave a piece to each of us.-He said, "Put them on any part of your body, but make sure you can see that you are wearing them.No one refused, everyone did, but in my case I put it on my hand
