A passing carriage drove over the pavement and made a loud cracking noise.
"...An alternate world...Hey, I'm really in another world. Eh, it's for real. I'm going to use magic and adventure with my new catgirl friend Tabatha."
I was trembling with excitement because of the scene in front of me and started talking to Tabatha who was walking behind me.
Before my eyes were houses built from clay and dyed different colors, streets right out of the middle ages of Europe and there was a 100 foot stone wall around the city of Kadesh.
There was no cars, bikes, powerlines or satellite cable.
"Wow...No way...Ah"
Tabatha looked at my amazement as she sourly said:"Is it really that amazing?"
I looked at the people who walked beside and passed us.
People, the people here was alot like the people back home. You had your big, small, medium and large sizes. Every body type was passing us as I looked at their ears.
"Don't you see that, that person and that person has animal ears. But don't get me wrong your is still better... Normal ears...It just isn't like the animal ears. Hello new world and goodbye old life, for now."
"Its not all that amazing."
I felt like her voice was terrified when she said that. Right when I was about to turn around, I felt someone grab my left arm and hold on to it tightly. I turned to see who it was and I saw Tabatha with a face full of fear and I noticed for the first time all the evil, hatred looks everyone was giving her and some people were shouting death threats at her.
"Go back to Hell where you came from!"
"We'll kill you if you come close to us!"
"I'm calling the Magic Knights!"
"Yeah, they'll deal with her!"
These are just a few that I could clearly hear from the crowd of people.
Why or how could people be this cruel? She didn't do it even if the Whiskers clan did...Why am I defending her in my head?
I wish I could do something for her but I can't other than letting her hold on my arm because I'm pretty sure everyone here knows how to use magic but I don't and I don't even know what level I am. But once I find out my level I'll make sure these people get what's coming to them for terrifying and threatening Tabatha...This reminds me of something.
I'm sick of these looks and threats, I'll give Tabatha the decision if she wants to stay or not because I'm done...I just can't stand to see her like this.
I pulled Tabatha into a dark backstreet as I calmly said:"We can leave if you want to?"
"No, we came here to find your level out and to start a squad."
Her voice trembled and her hands were shaking. I gazed appon her brave face but all I could think about is the terrified and frightened face she made earlier. I must of really grown fond of her in our 4 miles to get here or was it for another reason.
"I don't want to see them giving you that look, threatening you or your face full of fear!"
I must of shocked her when I yelled that because it took her a minute before she said anything and when she finally did it was in a quite frightened voice:"Once we find out your level then we will leave the town..Okay."
I don't know what possessed me to do what I did next but I grabbed her hand and we walked out of the backstreet and back into the pool of hatred.
"Do you see that?"
"He must be a traitor!"
"When you call the knights tell them to kill him too!"
"One miss up and I'll kill both of them!"
Now everyone's attention was on me because I was holding onto a Whiskers clan members hand. Disgusted, furious and killers look were all headed at me but I didn't care as long as they didn't look at Tabatha that way.
As we walked hand and hand I could hear everyone murmuring about us as if they was plotting to kill, this went on until we found the guild.
"The...Will...Kill them!"
Tabatha told me which way to go and we made it to the town guild as fast as we could as the Murmuring continued.
I felt Tabathas hand grip mine even more tightly as we entered the Adventures guild.
