A frustrated hero Sound of wind
I walked for a few hours and arrived in a city a little bigger than the one I was in a few days ago, I needed to get enough money to return to Altamira, like my other companions. Since the war continued and we would no longer be alone. Other countries would be with us because of the violent and unnecessary behavior towards heroes and adventurers. I just wanted to return as quickly as possible to that place, but I knew it would be difficult to return in two days, since the value of the trip could be more than a hundred coins and it was something I did not have. I had to walk through several streets and look for a place where they could give me a job, but I saw everything quite difficult. There were a lot of people everywhere doing different jobs, so I dared to search among hundreds of jobs who needed someone to work in any job.I only saw one man who had a kind of restaurant. There were a lot of people there and I dared to go into that place even tomorrow to ask.The man was a bearded
A frustrated hero Capital
The next morning I saw that hundreds of soldiers had arrived. I did not see the general who was leading them, perhaps they came alone to this place.I got up from the floor and put on my armor to show them that the city was being looked after by someone. However, those men were just patrolling the place, so they didn't care much about what happened here.I decided to walk while those people were leaving, they only made the situation here more difficult, since we were in terrible sanitary conditions, and with more people it would be worse since they needed to make camps and the space to rest was reduced.At first I didn't say anything, I just went to where the lodgings were before the Schlange people came here. All I saw was rubble and dust, as if they were trying to damage everything to scare people away. At that moment my employee arrived.-Maybe I left some of what I left there, but first you should look for people as strong or stronger than you to build a wall.-It is not necessar
A frustrated hero Spies
After three days we finally arrived to that city with some difficulty, I noticed that this place was much bigger than the other cities where I had been. There I knew why there was so much commotion because it could be attacked.The soldier left me at the entrance and started his trip back to Altamira with the rest of his companions.I felt a little good, I just had to find the guild and take any mission.I was not sure about walking around this city, for me everything was unknown and quite strange. There were buildings up to three stories high, made with the materials that were usually used, like stone, brick and others that were being tested to make more durable and modern buildings.The commercial areas were completely full. There were hundreds of people coming and going with food in their hands. Perhaps they had heard of the possible invasion of Schlange, but I didn't stop to look at the place much, I just looked for the guild, I thought I would see a big and flashy building like t
A frustrated hero Confusion
The other soldiers were running towards us with their weapons were a little scary, they looked very angry, I moved away a little from the site, so they did not regret that I was one of the spies, but the people with whom I was fighting tried to do magic to attack them, so I used my sword again to prevent them from doing something. I managed to cut some of them and thus prevented things from getting worse than they were.And so quickly the rest of the soldiers arrived and managed to immobilize him with their weapons and caught the spies that were making the city turn into chaos.I sat down on the floor to rest a little after what happened. I was calmer, but I knew there could be more people just like you out there.One of the soldiers looked at me and spoke to me.-Thank you hero for your collaboration, if you want you can come to the castle, we need people with skills to take care of the place and you are perfect for this job.I was a little surprised to hear his proposal. Since they
A frustrated hero Recovery
I was facing three assassins, neither them nor I was willing to surrender, so in a matter of seconds I and they began to fight, my armor was not much help to me, since my neck was exposed. It was the place where those people were trying to hurt me the most, it was very difficult for me. I knew that those daggers were probably poisoned and for me it would all be a problem. In each attack I tried to retreat and counterattack them, I spent several minutes like that and I was already tired, so I tried to take out a dagger that I had hidden in my armor as a precaution, I knew that I had only one chance to win this battle and get out of here alive. If I managed to wound one of the attackers, but unfortunately they managed to corner me in the wall, the three of them attacked me simultaneously. I had to crouch on the ground and took the opportunity to pull out my dagger and wounded two of them in the legs, despite that they continued attacking and tried to hurt me, but I managed to get up a
A frustrated hero Demotivation
It was very difficult for me to get to the meeting, I had to walk at a rather slow and tedious pace, while everyone looked at me as a strange or sick person. I just kept walking until I saw where the heroes had gone. I saw their horses in the castle and I went there, I wanted to know what the country was going to do in this war and what had happened during the time I was sick.Unfortunately there were almost ten soldiers at the entrance to the castle. They had reinforced the security so that something like what happened a week ago would not happen again. I tried to get in and talked to those men.-I am a hero, I need to get in.-You a hero? You look like a robbery. You're too strange.The taunts of those men didn't matter much to me, but it was quite sad. I was no longer important and was almost a nuisance. I could only duck my head a little and tried to leave, but one of the guards spoke. -You look like someone, I know you are the hero who was poisoned here days ago. We took you som
A frustrated hero Curation
I sat listening to each of the stories of the heroes, I was only interested in the one that had named me, but the dwarf did not talk about me again. They only continued telling stories of other heroes. Until all of a sudden everyone started to leave. They got tired of drinking and it was already very late. I, like everyone else, tried to leave, but I had to do it at my own pace, I waited for most of them to leave the place, but one elf stayed and saw me. As it was only one person I didn't care much and tried to get up and leaned on the table. However she spoke to me.-So you are the hero of the stories? It's amazing how you ended up.I was a little surprised to see that the woman had recognized me. I didn't even know who she was.-I see you don't know who I am. Well I was in the battle against Schlange, but as we were hundreds of heroes it's obvious that it's impossible for you to remember. Anyway, for now I can help you take care of your wounds. The war hasn't started yet, most coun
A frustrated hero Night cold
I left the capital hours later, thanks to some money that Alfred's fiancée gave me, because of my carelessness I did not dare to ask her name, it was something quite unusual and stupid on my part, but there was nothing I could do about it. When I started to think and realized my mistake at that moment I was already leaving the country, I was going through another road to get to the city of Ohis. I went through another northern country. Because going through Schlange was going to war, since they had invaded more countries in the south and made it more difficult to pass through that place. I felt a little bad doing that. The route through the area was difficult, even though it wasn't a mountain. The site was quite a problem. I had to pass through a wet and foul smelling swamp, but it was the only road that could take us to our destination.I was in a caravan that had about four carriages carrying some important people who were also going there. The people in the carriage with me were
