As we make are way to the adventures guild we realize even tho were determined we have no idea were to start weve been handed the info from the fox in my pendent but i have no idea how to use what we know we need to find teachers to learn magic and this worlds martial arts or mystic arts teachers as she puts it but we dont know where to find them the only definitive thing we know is that in order to leave we must defeat this king of monsters and to even attempt that we need to work our way up so step 1 we make an adventuring team to grow stronger.
step 2 gather more info on the world to completestep 1.
It might seem like a small start but its something as we walk in the guild all the people drinking at the resturant section and the people standing at the quest board eye us like fresh meat as we walk to the counter. as we get up there i ask the elf at the counter how to make a guild team and she explains you just give me a name and have a minium of 4 people in your party and i can make you a adventuring team we give her the name widowers of fate as we get signed up she eyes my pendent and says so you like foxes i respond no but after whats happened to us foxes might as well be a good thing to associate us with. after we got that all sorted out she hands us a form and says all starting adventures are to go to the blacksmith and pick out one set of basic armor and weapons that you will start off with of course once you get the money youll pay him back and before youll be alloud to buy anything else he has you must pay off your debt.
We head to blacksmith shop and as we walk in he asks for the form we have and points to a rack of weapons and a box of armor and says take your pick. David goes first picking twin kattana blades next Jillian goes and picks a lance and then Natalie picked a bow Leaving me to pick last as i go to pick up a blade the pendent glows and points at a closet i walk towards the closet and when i open it i see a scythe i go to examine it as the blacksmith yells dont touch that its cursed i stop my hand as i almost grab it and the blacksmith comes around and talks to me about the scythe he says it cursed and tells me anyone who has touched it dies in 3 days its very dangerous and only a strong type of magic could purify it he says that if anyone could perify it in the town he whould let them keep and let them take one free item from the shop as i look at the scythe the pendent starts glowing and as the pendent glows so does the scythe and in a blinding flash the cursed chain around the scythe breaks meaning the curse has been broken the blacksmith explains after it broke.
I look at him and ask if that means i can keep it he says go ahead as the weapon is now mine i then ask if instead of of one free expensive item can we just have our debt payed off he says sure as we pick out our armor and leave to go find a quest as i walk out David asks how did i do that i tell him i dont really know but i think the fox wanted me to have this scythe for a quick secondhe eyes me then shrugs as we contuine back to the adventures guild.
Opon arriving back to the guild the eyes that looked at us before as fresh meat look at us with a different look but most people seem to be focused on my scythe as i walk up to the quest board i look at whats avalible as I start to read the quests I relize quite quickly i can read the board even tho its in a different language i call Natalie over and she can do it as well.
we quickly call over David and Jillian and out of astonishment we all looked shocked as we can all read this worlds language we all look at the board to decide what to choose as an adventurer comes over and pushes me out of the way as he look over the board he then takes the quest i was looking at and starts to walk away.
i turn around and say hey i was gonna take that as i say that he turns around and looks me up and down and tell me if i want it battle him for it.
In anger i accept his challenge and we head to the outside arena to face off David trys to stop me from going through with this he points out that im inexperienced and that i have no fighting experince especially none of this world but its to late im dead set on beating him and even if I wanted to my rage is blinding me from making rational decision.
As i step on the battle field the air around me feels different almost icy, the battle will start soon i say to myself but how will i win i think over what i know which is almost nothing of this world as the battle starts i ready a position and so does he and and so the battle begins i charge at my enemy scythe in hand but as i go to lay a hit on him he opens his hand and before i could dodge fire comes blasting out at top speed and right as im about to take the full force of the attack the scythe in my hand if by nothing but magic blocks the fire as if by a merical my actions changed probably cause of the pendenti dont know how but if that fox helped me then I'll choose this scythe to help me win i trust the foxes judement and put my faith into my weapon and without warning im off blocking blows from my opponents blade and as im knocking him off balance im thinking this battles won but thats when i made the mistake never act as youve won before the battles over and before i can move he open his hand and blows me out of the stadium with a blast of fire.
and almost as soon as it started the battle was over as i go to get up the pain of the burns i recived from the fire set in and i cant get up and then my opponent comes over and opens a vial and poors some potion on me as he does he says to me my burns they will disappear without leaveing a trace as if never existing.
He then helps me up and before i can thank him he hands me the quest he grabbed and tells me i have much to learn as he's about to leave i ask how he learned that attack he turns around and tells me about a lady in the next town who teaches fire magic he tells me that before i decide to visit her that i shoudent let this set back hold me down but he tells me before l go to learn fire magic i should know I'm not able to learn it.
I look at him and ask what do you mean i cant learn it he precides to tell me that he has a ring on his hand that can tell him a person's magic attribute and mines not fire like his he then tell mines abit different cause he coudent decipher it at the beginning of the duel but before he leaves he asks to shake all of our hands points at David and says however it might still be a good idea for him to go i look at David and hes asks him you mean i can learn fire magic he nods and says you should go there and meat my teacher when you get the chance and then he precides to leave after telling us that info before he goes I ask wait what's my element he yells out ice before leaving.
After we pick up are stuff we arive back to the inn and as were about to go to bed my pendent starts to glow i return back to the spot i was at last night and as the moon rises in the sky the pendent returns back into the fox and our eyes meet and the fox speaks to me once more and says you've grown stronger but as the man you fought earlier said you have much to learn your attribute of ice will be usefull once you find someone who can teach you but for now you should meet up with that fire teacher and let your friend David grow in his power you and your friends must all grow stronger your friend Jillian has the attribute for Lightning well your other friend Natalie has the attribute of water you must seek out teachers and master your elements but until then that scythe you wield will help you grow there's a reason it picked you because of your power but for now get some rest tommorow you must set out for that quest in the next town for David must learn fire but for now you need your rest ill talk with you again tommorow once the moon is in the sky and with that she turns around to turn back into her pendent state but before she can i ask her whats your name she looks at me and says you can call me Widow and she turns back into the pendent. after that talk i return to the bed thinking about what Widow said and what the man from earlier said, after awhile i decide tommorow we set out for the next chapter in this quest and then we will get stronger.
