Lord of Heroes; Fates and Destiny

Therian Warrior and Occupying Nibelon Woodlands

(Back at Nibelon Woodlands)

A black mist engulfed a nearby clearing as Oletus teleports them there.

Charlotte:
"And we're back!"

Fram:
"And stronger!"

Johan:
"Focus on the task please."

Villion:
"Knights, let's go."

They head onwards, finding a group of therian bandits which they defeated easily. Then they came into a clearing, with five or so bandits surrounding a lone therian wielding a huge axe, thrice his size. Speaking of size, the green warrior is about three feet tall or more, but not below four feet.

One of the bandits attacked him, but he evaded with ease. Another one follows, and he does the same. The next second, all of the bandits jumped trying to overwhelm the warrior, but the latter instead spins around with his large axe creating a similar posture to a whirlwind knocking them out instantly. His eyes then met the Knights.

???:
"Hm? Aren't you the royal knights?"
"I recall occasionally seeing you near the capital..."

Fram:
"And I'm guessing you're the boss here...? Your weapon's sure big enough for it."

???:
"Me? No, not at all! I'm but a free-roaming knight..."

Fram:
"Ha ha! You think you can trick us?! Get ready to take a beating!"

Villion:
"Fram, wait!"
"...You're not going to wait, are you?"

Oletus:
"The person's name is Schneider, he's the one Rouin was talking about."

They fought for a while, Schneider capable of holding onto the knights' attacks until he was pushed back a bit.

Schneider:
"Hngh... Ugh..."

Fram:
"You're pretty strong for a bandit! But you're still not gonna touch His Highness while I'm here!"

Oletus:
"Who's gonna tell her?"

Villion:
"I don't think he's a bandit, though."

Fram:
"Wait, what?"

Villion:
"There have been reports of a therian knight fighting the bandits in woodlands alone."
"Oletus mentioned it earlier, and Rouin mentioned it to us back at the citadel."

Fram:
"Now that you mention it, I think I heard about that. A knight with a... huge weapon..."

Schneider:
"Mmhmm..."

Fram:
"Who's cute... and fluffy..."

Schneider:
"Ahem..."

Fram:
"Er..."

Villion:
"I apologize for my knight's lack of manners..."

Schneider:
"Nonsense! I'm barely even hurt! *cough cough* Ahem..."

Fram:
"I'm sorry! We fought so many therian bandits, I just... Er, are you all right?"
