Sable " I hate mages." He said putting our breakfast on our table.
Usman " So, neither you nor Woody told me about this. Why?"
Sable" You just came back and you might be strong enough to go against the orcs but.... servants are something else." He said after sitting on a chair.
Usman" Sorry but I am not going to sit still and see southern forests to burn down by some evil God wanabes."
Sable" Sigh ~ You doesn't change a bit."
Firuza " Hehehe~"
Usman" What?" I asked her.
Firuza " Looks like you have some childhood."
Sable " Well, I only met him when he was 14. His mentor might knew but now...eat your meal."
He left and we had our breakfast. After that I was going out.
Firuza " Where are you going?"
Usman " Just going for a walk."
Firuza" Can I come too?"
Usman" Sure."
We left the tavern. Hare Stack is village filled with green trees. It might be because it was located in a forest. Most elves were slim.
Firuza " Even though it's hot here. It has a good scenery."
Usman" Thanks."
Looked like populace was aware of things here. Soon, we returned to tavern.
At night
We were going for our dinner.
Ding ~
Quest: Rampaging berserker
Penalty: Death of Baron
Rewards: ???
Bang!
???" A TRIBAL IS RAMPAGING NEAR THE BARON'S HOUSE!!!"
Firuza" Usman? What is a tribal?"
Usman" A barbaric warrior."
Firuza" Dear Lord!"
Usman" Something is wrong."
I looked at the map. I saw him surrounded by guards.
Usman' Berserkers don't move alone unless....THEY ARE IN A PARTY!'
I searched on the map and found a bandit captain hidden north of them. I looked more than found a wererat moving towards BARON'S house.
Usman' Berserker is a distraction for guards and bandit captain is for support, just in case. While wererat is going to assassinate the Baron! And they...no bandit captain planned it well.'
Usman' Luminous, can Growlithe use my map?'
Luminous ' No but you can tag him to his target.'
Usman' Great!'
I tagged growlithe to wererat and he went away with a knowing look.
Firuza " Where is he going?"
Usman " To his prey."
Firuza" Huh?"
Usman" Come. I will explain on our way."
Firuza " O.. okay."
We left the tavern and went to Baron's house. On the way, I briefed her on the situation.
Firuza " Dear Lord! What's the plan?"
Usman " I can give Growlithe simple mental commands through our contract. I send him to look out for any assassin while I will stop the berserker with my arrows. This will make his allies to come out. Who will try to interfere with our battle. I want you to disarm his range weapon."
Firuza" Got it."
Soon, we reached there. A large tattooed southern was bashing the guards with a club and breaking any incoming arrows.
Usman " I will be shooting from a little further. Be ready."
Firuza" Sure."
I went ahead and took out my bow. I stood at a side where bandit captain could only attack me by coming outside his cover. I shot three arrows. They moved aside his club and pierced him.
Berserker " Ahhh!"
He looked at me and ran towards me. My next three arrows knocked him away. My third shot hit his legs.
Berserker " Arghh!"
Bandit captain " What that big aloof is doing! Looks like, I have to interfere."
Bandit captain came out with a spear which he was about to throw when flames stroke his hand.
B.C." FUCK!"
He looked towards the direction and saw Firuza with hands on fire.
B.C." You BITCH! You will pay for this!"
He took out his sword and was about to attack her. But two arrows pinned him to the wall by piercing his shoulders.
B.C." FUCK!"
Same thing happened with his legs. He looked around and saw tribal in his blood. He was not moving. Then, he saw that boy with bow coming towards him.
B.C." You think, ya can save your Baron. Then, you are wrong. There are more than you can imagine."
At the same time,
Bang!
A wererat blasted out of Baron's house's window. He fell on fence and got impaled.
Wererat " Arghh!"
B.C." WHAT THE FUCK!"
Usman " I think there was only one and we have took care of him."
Earlier ~
When, chaos was erupt.
Baron" What is the meaning of this?"
Baron " HOW DID HE GOT INSIDE?!!"
Elvish guard" We don't know."
Baron" How can you..."
W.R." Argh!"
Wererat yelled in pain by burning and looked behind him. He saw a dog.
W.R." What are you?"
Growlithe opened his mouth and ember came out. It burnt his face.
W.R." Argh!"
W.R." You little freak! DIE!!!"
He jumped towards him. Seeing this, Growlithe shrouded himself in flames. He stroke him as a fire ball and blasted him out of the window.
E.G." W.. what the.."
Growlithe ran up to the window.
Now~
Growlithe" Woof!"
I looked at Growlithe and smiled.
Usman" You do a great job. Now, come down."
Growlithe " Woof!"
He jumped down and bounced off the Wererat's body. He ran towards me and jumped in my arms. I caught him.
Usman " Good boy." I said caressing his fur.
Growlithe " Woof~" He barked with happiness.
Firuza " Growlithe ~"
He jumped towards her and she started caressing him too.
B.C." The fuck."
Woody " Usman! You are one of a kind, aren't you?"
Usman" Well, you are here. So, I can leave this guy to you."
Woody" Where are you going?"
Usman" To our dinner."
Woody" Sighs. I will meet you later. "
I nodded and we left.
Firuza" Now, I know why you did all that before." She said shaking her head.
