A frustrated hero Problem
The three of us met at a restaurant to talk about what had happened. I still didn't believe anything, Alfred didn't either, we were both too confused. That man who for us was a hermit was someone very strong and a bit crazy sometimes. His behavior left us a lot to think about. We tried to act as if nothing had happened, but we were all reminded of the reality we were living. However, he began to speak.-Well I introduce myself, I'm half dwarf, that's why I'm so strong and tough, although to most people I'm a human. His words at least made it clear to us why he was so strong, but it was very strange that he dressed that way. Alfred didn't keep quiet and asked him about it.-So why do you dress like that?-Well...I lost my family a long time ago and hid in a forest for a few years, but trouble followed me and I had to come back to be a hero. It never ends.-When was that?" Alfred asked.-Nine years ago that happened, and I was alone in a forest. Living away from everyone and sleeping
A frustrated hero Wounds
I left that area and the hermit went to another place. He wouldn't help me on what was going to be, he just gave me that dagger for me to decide what to do with it, when I saw that man face to face.I returned to the dungeon and just as the hermit had said, chaos was about to break out in the city. The heroes who fought all night were very tired. I could only see thousands of monster bodies on the ground. I saw a kind of barrier in the dungeon that contained the monsters trying to get out of there. Some of them were manticores.The elves guarding the entrance of the place. They were also tired of making barriers for those creatures to get out of there. I saw a group of armed adventurers. Maybe they wanted to go in there and explore the place together with the group of hero number 3. It was one of the alternatives they had to finish this mission, it was very risky, but I had no opinion. I just sat down on one of the tree trunks and brushed the snow off me.I waited for them to open t
A frustrated hero Uncertain
Everything seemed like a dream from which I could not get out. The streets were lonely, there were not even adventurers on the streets. Maybe they were all in the camp. There were only a few soldiers hiding. Maybe they were afraid that something would happen to them.I did not understand the fear of those men. They were soldiers with some experience and armed. As I walked I could see how the place had been left after such a busy day after the earthquake. There were some cracks in the different buildings. No one was leaving their homes for any reason. I didn't stop to look at the streets and quickly made my way to the camp. There were some people very attentive to everything that was happening in the dungeon, I preferred not to ask them about the tremor, it was clear that it had arisen here. There was no sign of anything coming from inside.There were a lot of torches in that place. They were trying to increase the visibility of the area despite the poor visibility they had in that pl
A frustrated hero Festival
I went to the camp to see what had happened and saw that the dungeon was totally sealed. The site was being removed. A group of soldiers were in charge of removing all the cloths and rags that were in the place.There were still elves in the place and they were looking at the sealed entrance. There was some kind of rare earth there to prevent the dungeon from being opened again. I didn't really understand that kind of rituals, so I didn't stop to ask.I just stared at the place, I was struck by how this mission had ended. I didn't even see how they had sealed this, but I felt happy to have participated and helped in something.I was still walking with some difficulty and I went to my lodging to finish resting and ask for my reward. I walked away from the area amidst the snow that suddenly began to fall. I saw that many houses and buildings had large cracks. Maybe some of them had to be rebuilt. Even the ground had cracks from the force of the dungeon. While I was thinking about what
A frustrated hero Food
I looked at where the arrows were coming from and noticed that they were coming from a rather old stone and brick building. There was an old lady with a bow. Her hair was long and white. I was not able to thank her, or even give her a sign. I felt somewhat humiliated. For the way those animals almost killed me. I just left that place walking with some bumps on my body.It was already getting dark. I decided to leave as quickly as possible, there was no one in that area. Everyone had hidden from that place after that. So I had to walk back in the dark, somewhat beaten. The light from the campfire helped me a little bit because I could see where I was walking. It was very difficult to take a few steps around that place with my somewhat sore body. So I had to walk slowly and watch out for anything that appeared along the way.[...]The lodging where I was staying was closed, so I knocked several times. Until they finally opened the door for me. I was a bit annoyed by that. It was very i
A frustrated hero Arrows
I saw how little by little the wolves made a coordinated attack on those men who were careless. No one dared to come out and help them. It was very dangerous, only a group of heroes could try to do something for them, but again I saw arrows falling from the sky. Maybe it was to scare those monsters away. From here I could see some arrow-throwing movements. Although they looked like some kind of threads.I knew it could be the old woman I saw this morning. I was struck by what I was observing. She seemed to be the guardian of this place, but the wolves despite seeing arrows did not desist from attacking those men.One of the drunks received a leg wound. One of the wolves knocked him to the ground, but luckily an arrow killed him immediately. It fell almost at the precise moment.Everything seemed to end when the first creature fell, but it was not so. From far away a creature stood out, bigger than all the others. Twice the size of the others. It was about the size of a house and I cou
A frustrated hero Store
Little by little more soldiers arrived and caught those two people. I just waited for them to help me. I felt very bad, and I couldn't get up. I left the shield on the ground. The guild leader came with the two men who had healed me a few hours ago. While they arrived I removed the arrows from my feet with the hand that was still good. It hurt me a lot to remove each one of the arrows. I got up from that place and tried to avoid bleeding so much.Both my feet were wounded and it was impossible to move.When the two men who had healed me arrived, they both looked tired.As if they had participated in the battle from the buildings.-Again you..." The older one said to me.-Yes, that's the life of an adventurer.-Okay, just stand still.He started to make those weird circles on the floor and little by little I felt my wounds heal completely.I got up from the floor and still felt the nagging pain. I looked at the two people who had handled those beasts. They tied their hands and feet
A frustrated hero Escort
After a week I left early for the guild. I was going for a rank A mission, I wanted to make a good impression so that they would give me the option to aspire to be a hero, although I didn't know how the organization's protocols were for that.I didn't really know which mission was the one that would help me earn a spot.I went to see the mission board and among the few there were. There was one on a strange continent. In which they left the most dangerous people. I was a little scared to go there, but there could be recognition, plus the pay was quite a lot. Almost five thousand coins, basically about eight missions. I just had to escort some soldiers to drop off a dangerous assassin.It left me pretty dismayed. I was about to look for another one, but the guild leader spoke to me.-Doubting?-Uh...yeah, I don't think I could do something like that.-You could win the friendship of a kingdom, and you would have some power.-I know, but... Why does hardly anyone ask for this mission?-
