Catherine Point of view(pov)
We were travelling back to my family's Alvion city from the capital along with merchant caravans. The merchants also had the adventurers they hired as their security guards, we travelled for two days as the guards fought beasts that attacked us along the way, we enjoyed each other's company along the way as the guards got to make friends with each other. On the third day we woke up early prepared breakfast and put our tents away as we ate and began our journey for the day to get to the city by night.
As we were moving at our moderate pace we got that our path had been blocked. The guards went on high alert scanning our surroundings as some decided to remove the logs from the path while highly cautious. But before they could reach the logs arrows came flying towards them then our caravan was surrounded by bandits. They were burly men who I've seen on the wanted posters back at the city, like the guy with an eye patch has a bounty of one thousand gold coins since he's the leader of the 'black crows' a notorious bandit which has been involved in many incidents which include murder of whole villages and placing them, slavery and raping young innocent women.
I shudder at the thought of what they will do to us. I'm frightened to the point I'd pee myself had I not emptied my bladder earlier. The fight between the guards begins and I watch as they begin by killing the healers and mages in our group using poisoned arrows. Once the arrow hits a person it acts fast before the person falls down dead. They continue killing my guards and the adventures at a fast pace that I can't take it anymore and scream at the top of my lungs calling for help [ Help!!!!].
I don't really think that anyone will hear my call for help and be dumb enough to come to a danger zone. I'm sure if someone does come they will flee as soon as they see the black crows.
The bandits keep killing our guards with their superior numbers and soon we have less than twenty guards twelve to be precise where five of the are gravely injured. Close my eyes as tears drop down but then I hear a beautiful manly voice asking who asked for help. I look out of the carriage through the window and see a young man who appears younger than me. He has silver hair with light blue eyes and fair skin. His face is chiseled nicely, the parts of his face are spaced evenly. He wearing a baggy coat made of animal skin, I'm mesmerised by his otherworldly charm. I'm pulled out of my wild imagination when the bandit leader, the hateful man Bruce gives an order to have that boy killed.
I grit my teeth in anger at my powerlessness, soon the bandit raises his broad sword to take the boys head, I close my eyes to not watch this scene. [I'm glad I didn't break him] I open my eyes when I hear that beautiful manly voice again and what I see shocks me to the core. The bandit is kneeling while vomiting blood and the foods he ate.
[ Alright let's finish this quickly i need to get to Alvion by noon, don't worry I won't kill you guys]
I hear him stating, then the boy disappears from my vision and in the next second I see him standing next to my knights and then see all the bandits falling down unconscious. I am shocked but relieved that we will survive this ordeal.
[Well that was easy, om let's heal the injured shall we] I hear the mysterious handsome strong man stating and I see him performing a tier 9 healing spell without chanting. I'm done being shocked by this guys actions now. He allows my knights to deal with the unconscious bandits who they kill taking their heads and some of their money, they then lock up the notorious bandit boss Bruce in a cage tying all his limbs with metallic chains.1
[You guys are brutal!! , well then bye] The boy mutters and begins leaving. I really want to stop him but my body seems to be disobeying me, I guess it is because I was too tensed in one second then I'm relieved in the next second. Luckily Lilian the knights captain of the female battalion that was made to serve me stops him. I hear him praise Lilians beauty without batting an eye. Lilian introduces herself and then mentions my name, this is my que so I get off the carriage and introduce my self while expressing my gratitude.
[ Ace Anderson at your service my lady] he states his name. My heart skips a beat, he has everything a girl would ask for, I decide that I will force him to join me in my carriage.
"What a nice name" I mutter absentmindedly.
