A frustrated hero Conflict
I left the temple Sug calm, but I looked everywhere. That guy Sawi, he was crazy, he knew he had no way to be a hero because of the competition he had around him and he thought it was better to chase them all away.I would not run away from him, I wanted to test my strength, but I was somewhat weakened by my sword. I had to exercise to improve my performance and withstand the power my weapon had. I didn't want to get more black spots on my body. I started to walk through the stone and somewhat paved streets of that city, very alert that something might happen to me. There were still many people walking at that hour. The day was very busy and anything could happen. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that the city was close to two countries that were at war and people were out on the street as if nothing had happened. I started to look at the mountain where you get to this place. I could see nothing out of the ordinary. Any movement would be quickly detected by the guards on the ou
A frustrated hero Mountains
The soldier stopped questioning me and continued to search the rest of the people in the place. Although I doubted they could find anyone suspicious. Even that Sawi and his companions were the culprits. They were very troublesome and wanted to do whatever they wanted because their country was doing harm in different places. Besides, I had already experienced something similar with those men and I had to get blood on my hands.I saw how little by little people were able to enter the temple after the corpse was removed. As if nothing had happened, only some people were in charge of cleaning the area with some rags and water. I tried to enter there, out of curiosity and to ask about the heroes. As I had arrived late the day before, I didn't know what else they had talked about. I was a bit lost and did not know what to do from now on.The inside of the temple was normal. The only thing that had blood on it was the area where the person who was killed was. The rest of the place was in pe
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
