A frustrated hero Descent
In two hours we had climbed the mountain and were at the top, now they had to keep us a few more hours and then descend and climb up another mountain. All this was a journey that I did not understand very well. Only the coachman remembered the way, he knew which route to take, amidst the undergrowth and rocks. If he died I might not be able to find my way back. As we advanced up the mountain I saw what looked like some kind of ancient cemetery. There were about thirty graves and one of them had a specific message. All is forgotten, under my point of view it referred to the deceased, but the further we advanced I saw a kind of fog, that was a bad omen. If there was no good visibility, it was complicated to transit here, maybe it would rain in this place in a few hours. That was probably what was going to happen here.We could camp in a few meters as the mountain had some kind of formations that looked like a roof. There we could ride out the storm. I didn't know what decision the coac
A frustrated hero Hail
I stayed at the bar waiting for it to get dark. Here people usually came here to drink for anything, I just stayed to listen to drunks who had been drinking for days. The strange thing is that in all the places where there were ports, there was only one bar. For me it was very strange, maybe they avoided competition with each other, and people usually only went to one place.The smell of wine made me dizzy, it even got a little on my clothes. I felt annoyed, but it was almost dark. I got up from my chair and left the place. The sun was already starting to set, so I left as fast as I could from there towards the port.[...]Arriving at the port I saw more than thirty adventurers with their armor and weapons. I was a bit surprised to see people with bows and arrows, usually there were people with swords and axes, sometimes with staffs. There I understood that the level had gone up a bit. There were no more novice adventurers and I had more pressure on me. I was now under another level.
A frustrated hero Misunderstanding
He didn't believe anything I said. He looked pretty angry. There I could understand that maybe he knew the owner of that helmet and that's why he was so angry, but nothing I told him would make him change his mind. He had short red hair and blue eyes. He was taller than me, his face a little wide.Several people came to the dormitories and found themselves in the middle of the discussion. Seeing so much pressure, I decided to put on my helmet and take the rest of my things, I wanted to get out of the place, but he held my hand tightly.-I said, "You're not leaving just like that, you thief!I didn't hesitate for a moment and unsheathed my sword and put it on his neck quickly. He didn't know what to do, any strange move he made would cost him his life. However, the hero who was leading the mission came down the stairs and saw what was happening. He did not hesitate to speak.-What's going on here? Why are they fighting?I didn't let anyone else speak and answered.-A hero gave me thi
A frustrated hero Monitored
I left the bedroom with my things and went to the cellar, I was already bored of the same situation with that guy. Besides, I wanted to sleep and not stress about external things. Very few people were coming to this place. There was only the cook and some infants. I went to the corner and lay down in the corner, as if nothing happened. The dungarees made me a little uncomfortable, but it was better to wear them, as I didn't feel very safe with my things lying on the floor. I didn't know at what point being on this boat became so uncomfortable for me. I crossed my arms and tried to close my eyes. I didn't know that the infants were looking at me quite surprised to see me there. [...]I woke up hours later. Hours later, a little uncomfortable for being in the same position for so long. Apparently it was already dark. I got up from the floor and tried to go to the deck and look at the sea for a while. I couldn't stay cooped up in one room for so long.I went to the bow to look at th
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
