Today, I woke up strangled in a log. By who? I do not know, yet. All of last night's craziness, and now I am tied to a log. Something is off, who did it, "who did this to me, reveal yourself," I said, I said it loud and clear. I am not messing around this time, if it comes to it, I will fight these bandits with my wooden spear.
But no, it was not thieves or soldiers, what I saw was a beast-man. "What are you?" I said, hoping that things will be distracted enough so I can free myself, somehow. 'That is not important, low lander' said the Beast Man, which caught me by surprise. No one calls us a lowlander, and that accent is not familiar. "What are you?" I said again, this time more insistent, but he, or it didn't answer me. 'Did. you. see. me. fight. last. night?' it sounded like he was pronouncing each syllabus separately, he wanted me to understand him. 'Yes, I did, was that you who was fighting that, that thing?' I said, I found a rock with a sharp edge, and immediately started to cut the robs loose. 'That thing, we call Golems lowlander, why were you there?' it said, Golem? What even is that and now I look at it, it looks like he is made out of wood material.
"Are you a Tree Man?" I said, "What now?", "Tree Man, like the beast who is made of trees," I said, Tree man is a tale back in my homeland, how come this thing looks so similar to a tree man. "Oh for Mary's sake, you lowlanders are stupid, no I am not a Tree Man you can call me Tom, lowlander," he said. "I also have a name, call me Frost and I hope you are ready for a spear match."
I freed myself from the robs, he didn't tie me correctly, I used my feet to bump the wooden spear upon the air, I caught it and immediately went for the first strike— 'bang' I was hit extremely hard in the ribs, "what the hell was that?" I caught blood out, and my vision got blurry. Rocks... I glanced and saw a rock come out of the ground and punch me. I took a couple of steps back, and I was shocked that the Tom guy was controlling the earth. Small rocks were floating in the air, and there were cracks on the ground. The cracks started from Tom's feet and the direction followed to where I got hit by a big rock. "So magic exists," I said, shocked by this event. I have to run, I can't beat someone with powers that lets him move the earth. "What do you want?" I said, "you tried to attack me just now, how lowly of you" he smirked. "Hey, I'm not that delicious. I know there are better animals to eat than me." I said I am wondering if he wants to eat me or something else.
"Eat you? no way, but you saw what I did there and that is not good." Tom said. So he wants to kill me for what I saw, what a sick man, "look, Tom, I only saw a glance of that.. Golem, but you don't have to worry. I will not tell anyone what I saw." I said. 'With the state you're in, you won't be able to, even if you want to' he said coldly. "How about this offer, I need an assistant to help me collect shards." wait did I hear that correctly, he wants me to help him out "You want me to assist you?" I said, he replied "yes, why not. You could help me collect and I will let you live."
That is the worst deal in the world! But what choice do I have, would I try my hand with his powers again. One hit and I feel like I need to vomit— wait I do need to vomit. I started to vomit uncontrollably, Tom did not even change expression, like he was expecting that to happen. "Tom, I do not know you, but if it is possible let us not be enemies. I will help you out, but in return, you must lend me some help too" I said.
"Oh, so you think you got a say in this deal, alright I think you need another beating. Low lander" He said. He got in his fighting stance, It looked more like a weird pose, he brought his hand forward, separated his legs, and bent a bit. what a weird person, I had no choice though, I grabbed my spear again. This time, I threw the spear at him without a second glance, and then I started running.
