When he reaches home he sees a lot of people within the yard of his house. As he proceeds to enter the property they all surround him with all the support they gave prior to his long life so far. As the party was going on a commotion happened at the front of the property, Warran checks out and sees the princess and the king. He approches them and kneels in a salute to the King.
"Your Highness, what brings you here at this hour."
"I thought I would see you after our meeting, I would also like for you to meet my successor."
"Father please not infront of the halfing."
Warran stands up and looks at the princess whom looks, like a goddess. Her hair is a beautiful indago, as her skin is a light tan. Her eyes are almost like the void. She looks at Warran and proceeds to say, "I also came here with a warning."
"What kind of warning?"
"You will have a tough life after you leave this place. You will fall in love, lose love, fight, could very well die. But I don't see that yet. You have a lot of choices that could very well change this world for the better or worse. The life that you want to live will never happen."
Warran nods his head, as he proceeds to look at the princess with the intensity of a wild fire. "I never intended for my life to be easy. I will face my challenges head on. I thank you Oracle Eve." He falls down to his knees once again to show his respect. The princess walks to him and touches his face with her left hand and, raises his face, "You should be careful. In this world halflings never survive long dispite some clear advantages they have."
Warran looks at her and nods. She retracts her hand as she turns around her back facing Warran. She walks away to back to her father side as they turn back to their orginal shapes and fly back to their castle. Warran touches his left cheeck as he watches them fly away. He goes back to party till the next morning.
Warran wakes up before the sun rises over the horizan. He collects his traveling gear with spear and shield. As he leaves his mothers house last time for what he knew. The roads are empty as he walks to the edge to the city. The city guard open the door and lets him through. Warran walks right through to see the forest ahead of him, he moves without looking back only looking forward. He makes a few hundred miles before he sits down to rest his body. He eats some rations he packed as he looks at the map he brought with him. He can tell he made a third of the way there and, not even half way to the mountain side. He believes he hears some hell hounds but, doesn't heed them no mind. Suddenly he gets hit by a large body that knocks him down. When Warran lands on his side as his left arm gets bitten by a strong jaw of the hell hound. He grabs his spear to jab it into the eye of the hound which falls limp. As he removes his bleeding arm from the hound, he grabs some bandages and grabs the corpes to turn it into a inner lineing for his armor for the cold. After the hound has been cleaned he goes back to his travles and sets up came near a lake.
During his travles he has fought the wildlife to survive. But never giving up, he finally gets to the mountain range. As he climbs up the path he spots something very strange. A group of humans coming down from the mountains almost all injured in some way. Warran walks up to them but no one draws their weapon.
"Can you help us?"
"What happened?"
"We were attacked by a rock golem."
"A golem, I thought they were dormant."
"No at least one or two are up the road. They don't seem to know what is going on."
"Most golems need a master to serve under, seems the master has passed so they have no objective other to protect their land."
Warran looks at the humans. "Get them to the lake south of here. I should be three day walk from here." They look at him like he is crazy.
"THREE DAYS!!!" one of the humans protest. Warran nods and hands over his medical supplies. "Take this. It has enough for a few of you. The lake is a safe place for your people." Warran says with a sturn expression. "Let me handle the golems. After all you humans shouldn't be here." The humans finally relize they are talking to a monster and take the medical supplies.
"What are you?"
"I am an oni and human mix. Now go and try to survive."
They walk passed him as he breaks into a sprint up the mountain. He can tell the group of humans lost a few comrades so he needs to get there as soon as possible.
