A frustrated hero Ambition
I was alone with one of the Marines and since there was nothing to do, I stayed there playing dice with them.They had a kind of game where they bet, the first one to roll seven got all the money. I decided to participate, since I had nothing else to do.There were about eight of us, but I was doing badly, so I played for one last time. One of the Marines seemed to be very lucky, he won all the games and left the others with money. It was the last game we would play, I rolled the dice first. I was just waiting for a seven to come out so I could win this game.I clenched my fists and shook them a little, threw them and got a surprise.I rolled a seven, the Marine saw how I won the game and he got annoyed. -So much for that .... I got bored ....He got up from the floor where we were playing, but he took everything he didn't win. These games of chance were too tedious to win, but at least I didn't lose as much money as the other Marines.I went to look at the bow again, I was very cur
A frustrated hero Two roads
In the middle of the night I went with the two Marines that were put to guard me. They were the only ones who could help me in this situation and they were willing to help me. I put on my dungarees and helmet, to protect me from any attack, but they were only wearing the clothes I gave them there. It was dangerous, they could suffer an attack from any creature.I decided to be attentive to what was happening around me to protect them. I unsheathed my sword to concentrate on the movements of that place. The three of us carried oil lamps to better illuminate the place, although the moonlight helped us even a little with visibility. Getting off the boat was a bit complicated, we had to choose a boat and the rest of the three of us had to get off. There were too few of us to make that effort. They worked hard to get us out of there. We almost got completely wet, but luckily we didn't. We had to paddle with the oars.We had to paddle with the oars that were there. It was a bit difficult
A frustrated hero Swamp
The hero did not know what to do, he was very disturbed by this scene. The adventurers were fighting among themselves, it was detrimental to the mission, besides he didn't know who were the ones being controlled by that man. And I couldn't intervene in any fight just because.I didn't know what to do either, but I thought of something, but the two elves who were with us had to help us in this.I went over to where one of the two elves in the group was standing. He had long brown hair, he had a helmet on at the time. I looked into his eyes to see if he was being manipulated, but luckily he looked at me like a normal person would.-What do you want," he asked me.-Why are you fighting with that adventurer, if you can beat him easily. -So that no one will do anything to him, he is one of my group mates.There I understood that I couldn't intervene in that fight, I could only hope that the elf would think of helping me.He cast some kind of spell and immobilized his friend.-So what do y
A frustrated hero Deception
I woke up hours later, I was quite tired and my body ached a bit. I was sleeping for a few hours. The elf had created the bridge to that mountain. There were huge columns of ice between the swamp, to hold it up, plus he put railings on it to keep us from falling.I had just opened my eyes and was a little scared to go up there. It looked very high and it was easy to fall, and the ice was slippery. I saw the hero chatting with the hero on that bridge. Even he was hesitating to go over there. The way from here to that mountain was quite a way. Maybe 4 kilometers of travel. It would take a few hours to get there. Several of my companions woke up little by little and began to see the bridge. Like me, they were surprised and were trying to analyze it.I got up from the floor and cleaned my armor. The grass and sand was sticking to my armor, although it was not important now, the smell of the grass was a little uncomfortable for me.It was getting close to nightfall and we needed to decide
A frustrated hero Ally
It didn't stop raining all day, despite the difficulty I kept walking towards even though I didn't see anyone around here. My hands already hurt from dragging them along the railing. Even though I had my gloves on. When they appeared they broke and I couldn't do anything. I was surprised to see that it was still raining hard. I didn't want to keep walking, it was suffocating, water was pouring down my face, being in the rain was suffocating me little by little and I couldn't stand the cold, besides my legs were already hurting from repeating that movement so many times. I sat down on the ground and rested in the rain. I noticed that the bridge was slowly melting. It had sunken areas due to the water and the adventurers' footsteps.I tried to get up so as not to perish there in the middle of nowhere, or fall into that dark valley. I could only shuffle my feet little by little to reach the mountain that looked a little closer than before.[...]I arrived at the mountain and I was very
A frustrated hero Giant
The next morning we headed back to the ship. The campfire was not something very interesting for any of us, just a simple meeting. That was to be done to clear up a few things, but when we were close to the ship we saw more ships coming into the bay.They looked like a group of pirates at first glance, but then we noticed that they were adventurers like us. The hero went a little further ahead and wanted to talk to them. We kept some distance from him, as we were in no hurry to talk to these people. We just wanted to rest a little and return to the mainland. We watched him go to the front of the men. We could not hear anything of what they were saying, we could only hear the movements of their hands and waited for him to explain to them that the mission was impossible. The wizard had us under surveillance and set traps to scare us. I hoped that he could convince them and that they would not suffer an absurd death in this place, but apparently he did not succeed, because they continu
A frustrated hero Title
I woke up in the wee hours of the night, my body ached a little and I got up from the bed where I was.There was the hero sitting with his arms crossed waiting for me to wake up.-What happened? I asked him-That wizard got scared when he saw that you were dying. Even the boat moved, we thought some monster would come out of the water and kill us, but out of nowhere he unmoored the elf to heal you. When they finished healing you, he was already gone, we don't know how strong he was, but in a matter of seconds he kneeled us all down and his men tied us up, we couldn't do anything. It was very strange, something like that had never happened to me before. In the end we were able to save our other wounded companion and we continued on our way. I don't know how you earned the appreciation of those wizards, but thanks to that you saved our lives.-I only won the favor of one, the other cast a spell on me, but thanks to this sword I was able to free myself from it. I just found out that ther
A frustrated hero Recruitment
The next day I went in a caravan to Altamira, I needed to get there before the battle started, as I knew it was almost impossible for them to win this war. After knowing the link that Schlange had with the wizards. I was even surprised why he had not started the war earlier. I was a little uncomfortable with this situation, but it was my duty to help because I could not let that kingdom become stronger, so I could never defeat them, besides in Altamira I had already secured part of my life, and I would not let anyone take away what I left as an old man.Luckily for me the conflict between countries in this area had ended quickly and I could leave quickly to Altamira. I only hoped that they would not treat me as a stranger and would not think that I was a spy, since it was logical that something like that would happen in times of war.On the way I had to walk I noticed that on both sides there were weapons and different objects on the ground, all of them were used for the war. There we
