„Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience "
That was very useless
Aries said as he woke up after hours of looking for a CAT
A single black cat. For 4 hours straight. Great day.
Aries stormed into the guild and grabbed a badly made coffee like drink. Closest thing he could find to actuall coffee was this weird brown and sweet think the barman named in his way "Brimmgroom"
No Idea where this guy gets his drink names, but hey, they are amazing.
And same thing was Damon drinking, also after a long boring day.
-Sup. – Hey. – Both sat down at their table.
-Listen Aries. We are both tired after yesterday so here`s the thing. I`m not going to tell you how and what you do wrong just.- He took a big sip of his coffee - just let me kill as many wolves as possible.
-Yeah. I`m in that mood too Damon. –
After the "Brimmgroom" was drunk they went to Lisa for their quest.
-Wolf quest please – Damon went in fast.
-Sure just one more thing about it – List got to work. – You will have a guest with you –
Boys looked at each other. -Guest?-
Cloaked person came closer.
-Yes the new guild member. Also we will announce her after you return with her from the quest –
-Mmmm. Good to know – Aries turned to the person – Nice to meet you, I`m Aries. –
From under the cloak came out a small leather gloved hand to shake.
-…nice to meet you too... - She apparently, had a voice hidden under the cloak and the hood.
-So….what`s the name of our guest ? May I know ? –
-....it`s…..Elandra – she spoke out slowly.
-Huh. That`s a new one. – Damon crossed his arms on his chest. – Well good to know you Elandra.
I`m Damon by the way. Pleasure to work with you. –
She grabbed the bow and her quiver, nodded to the two and they left for the wolf slaughter.
On the way Aries obviously wanted to strike up a conversation with her as soon as he could.
-You`re an archer right? Cool. Most people in the guild use swords so this will be a fun bounce off –
-…..mmm…. swords are heavy ….and monsters are so close…. I prefer bows and arrows….. –
-I see, makes sense, we need some range too. Will be nice to have you with us. –
-…..yes…pleasure working with you….. I hope it ends well –
~Ugh… when will they stop ~
Damon walking in front of them wanted to throw up during the conversation.
Aries talking almost non stop and almost one sidedly to Elandra was pretty annoying.
Good thing Damon could at least not hear everything and focus on himself.
OH I DON`T MIND THEM. THEY SEEM LIKE A GREAT COUPLE YOU KNOW. SHY GIRL AND PUSHY YOUNG BOY.
ITS JUST ASKING FOR SOME ROMANCE.
~seriously? That`s what you`re thinking now? How about what the hell am I supposed to do down here? Hmmm? Ever thought of that? ~
I TOLD YOU BOY, LATER. WHEN YOU WILL BE READY.
And so, the three adventurers walked slowly to their destination.
Which was a rural destroyed place, some burned houses and broken walls.
-….this is the place…..Wolves are ahead from here ….. – she said as she was here yesterday.
-Hmph , seems like we won`t have to worry about other people –
as Damon kicked some burned log away, random bones came from under it.
-ELANDRA!!! Is this one of the wolves you`ve killed? – Aries found a dead gray body of a wolf.
It was smaller than the boar they faced a while ago, but it still was far from a normal beast.
Bigger fangs in a weird shape of a sharp banana .Fur spiky, hard gray color.
~This is not a wolf. This… this is a beast. ~
-Umm Damon, I know we fought wolves like a week ago, but this is a bit bigger –
In fact, they had a quest 8 days ago to also kill a pack of wolves. Although they were just wolves, and pretty small in addition. And Damon and Aries were prepared. That time.
Now , it seems to be a bit different.
-Chill. There`s three of us here. What can go wrong? -
-….. a lot….. – Elanrda whispered out. But in the meantime she started to prepare for combat.
Counting up arrows, checking the bow, fixing the clothing and armor positioning.
Typical maintenance before fighting normal for every adventurer.
Except Damon and Aries, they were idiots who just go in. Okey, not only them but not a lot.
Still they did somewhat got ready. Released the sword constraints, put on gloves or the more annoying armor pieces like shoulder guards.
-You ready ? – Aries after being done with preparations announced - good, let`s go in –
