Quiet Leaf & Her Adventures

Week 4

I stepped through the mysterious door. It seemed to have brought me to a void of some sort with various items around. There was a pile of gold, a crown, ball, knife, pen, book, animals, and a pair of dice. After what I had just experienced, I couldn't help but feel drawn to the knife. As I picked the knife up, the void seemed to contort in some way and I hear a voice explain to me what it does.

"With this knife, you will be able to kill any and all animals. For every animal you slay, you will be gifted a gem to represent them. With those gems, you will be able to use the power of the animals. This seemingly small knife is capable of transforming size depending on the animal you are attacking. Good luck adventurer."

With that, I seemed to be teleported to a new room. I looked around and saw I was reunited with my party. I viewed the area more and saw how we were in some sort of arena. Weird. As I least expect it, various items appear in front of us along with hooded figures that emerge from the darkness. I focus more on the middle few and I am able to make out that they seem to be tabaxis, like me. I immediately begin to feel more uneasy, not knowing what to expect. I rest my hand on the hilt of my sun sword, making sure to keep my eyes on them at all times. They then began to unhood themselves one by one.

"My poor, distressed daughter. You must have been so lonely and scared all these days being away from your family. Don't worry hun, we're here again! We'll save you from this dark, dreadful world. All you have to d...", my mind begins to drift off as I hear that voice speaking more and more to me. My head gets cloudy. It feels foggy and loud yet eerily quiet at the same time. All I hear is static and ringing. I feel lost and helpless. How did they find me?

My mind is brought back to what's happening after Janvier tapped me on the shoulder. It seems I started to drift off and it was very apparent. I tune back into what's going on as I see my father is trying to get Kalimay to tell him what all she has "learned". Whatever that meant.

"Absolutely not!"

"Don't forget about our contract. Hand the book over."

He held his hand out, expecting her to give him what he wanted. Instead, he remained empty-handed. I proceeded to draw my hilt as the sun sword blade ignites and glows and point it at him.

"I'm happy now! Happier than I ever have been, 'father'... as I could even call you that. Manipulative bastard sounds more like it."

I can feel the shock I probably gave him. It made me smile a bit as I tilted my head upward to stare him down.

"Cat got your tongue?"

I shot him a smug look while he scoffed at me. I thrive over feeling like a badass, which is probably why I found excitement in killing all those village people. To be fair I wasn't in the wrong though. They were attacking my dragon and all.

"I guess we're doing this the hard way...", my dad said before whistling.

I then noticed as four beasts emerged and lined up across from us. Oh no...
