The first couple of days on my Journey didn't have any very exciting news. I was the only one who had thought to bring supplies from home, all the others left immediately to go exploring. This means we had no weapons other than my hidden blade, the reason I kept it hidden is due to the fact that I didn't trust the others yet, nor my own strength.
About a week into the trip is when the interactions started, we were walking across the desert wasteland when we were suddenly underneath a creature of the underworld, now how in Xatuchu did he manage to escape the pits of bismeedes? Either way, I needed to send him back but I couldn't bring out my blade with the group watching me.
"Run. If we all stay here it'll kill us all, I'll stay and try and slow him down and maybe even defeat him don't worry about me"
Now this is where I should have gotten my first clue to not trust Kyle and Jaja, they were already at a full sprint before the word "Run" came out of my mouth. The only one who tried to oppose me was Zane but I stayed persistent in my remark, eventually, he gave in and decided to leave.
I summoned my blade and realized I was shaking uncontrollably
"Damn, the least I could do is hold the blade still while in the presence of a monster I grew up hearing about. Welp may the gods be with me, even the lesser ones."
I slowly lowered myself to the sand to get in a fighting stance when I was struck with the force of 2 semis crashing into each other. Luckily the goddess of Health Xeena was on my side that day because I was able to survive the seemingly fatal blow.
After lowering myself again I began to rest my blade on my shoulder due to the added weight of it being enchanted now.
"Wait, my hand is still now's my chance to attack. I need to get into range to be able to attack with my sword. Lightning Technique Thunder Clap, Sonic Boom."
