Chapter 5 - New Allies

"take off the bandages" iris heard the words of avarith and, little by little, the bandages touched the ground, revealing claws followed by feathers that covered her arm

"your arm has a separate power, you can drop your feathers and they will turn into smoke, but keep in mind that the more you use it the closer you will become a griffon under my command" avarith to say these words and disappear in just one instant

"I guess I should treat my wounds" she thought, it took two hours to explore half of the village but she found bandages, a somewhat torn cloak wool, a light crossbow, a couple of silver coins and seven arrows of which there were only three in good state

After having treated her wounds (which fortunately were not deep) and after having taken a break to have lunch in the real world, iris continued heading east hoping to find a tavern or inn to calm the hunger and thirst she had ( you can also die of hunger or hypothermia or in many ways that do not include fighting) , she spent five hours until she could see a tower, on the way she tried to test her power to revive a dead but unsuccessfully. A few meters before reaching what looked like a city iris found three corpses this time she put all her effort to try to control those dead bodies but failed again, frustrated she made one last attempt putting her hand on the head of the dead body

this time with a growl, as any zombie emits, the body began to move. She let out a sigh of relief and repeated the process with the other two, once the three were standing looking at iris, she thought about how to give them orders and the best idea she had was to name them "ok you on the left will be A, the one in the center will be B and the one on the right will be C "something simple since she knew that the zombies are quite weak

she tried to enter the city but the guards got in the way "damn necromancer do not think you will subdue us" said one of the guards pointing his sword "there you are i was tired of waiting for you" a soft voice said from behind, "what took you so long "a woman emerges from the pile of menacing guards, she was wearing armor that looked like it was made from the skins of wild beasts

Iris had to wait a while while the woman talked to the guards, now that she could distinguish, the woman, had her shoulder pads covered by white fur that fell down her back, apart from that she had a leather breastplate and through her legs light brown and white colored fur also she showed scales on her boots and feathers on her gauntlets

"A pleasure, in this world they know me as ravoth" said the woman as she approached, come on, the tavern is around here"the two walked inside the city" good armor "said iris to start a conversation" oh this? , it's nothing, just a white wolf, a chimera, a lerkta and a pair of griffons "said ravoth, iris felt a chill on her back as out of her mouth came a forced laugh

"Why did you help me?"

"Do you need a reason to help another player?"

"this will cost me, right?"

"I just want a small favor ..."
