Storm Warning (Choose your own adventure)

"If you want a fight, come and get it!" you taunt the man. He roars and swings a punch at you. You duck under the clumsy move and boot him in the chest. The man sprawls onto the cobblestones. He is outraged at you getting the better of him, and quick as a flash, whips a pistol out his pocket and fires at you. Time slows down as the bullet hurtles towards you. You want to move out of the way, but you're frozen on the spot. Then, as if some unseen god was moving your limbs, you slide your sword out of your scabbard and swing it forwards to meet the bullet.

There is a sharp crack as the bullet ricochets of the blade and flies off, hitting a building to your right. Everyone is shocked, even you. The man, with a terrified look on his face, scrambles off the ground and runs away. You push your way out of the crowd and head toward he tavern. Even as you walk into the crowded building and find a table, people stare in awe at you. As you walk out, you are approached by a hooded man, asking if you want to join a team of mercenaries known as the Skyhawks. If I can't find my memory, I can just create an identity for myself... you think, and those newfound skills with the sword could come in handy! You accept, and welcome your new life as a mercenary and bounty hunter. Turn to 7.
