Zephyr: Whispers Of The Wind

Chapter 3: Unwanted Trouble

You walk along the path as you meet new people, she tells you about each location as you pass through them. First you two go to a Inn. The inn has a sign in on the front "Shadowvale Tavern" it says on the sign, from the noises you hear coming from inside you figure that it was quite full today. she explained that it was a popular location for 'adventurers' that comes and stops by, hearing the word adventurers you asked what it was.

"Oh? You don't know what adventurers are?"
Azria asks you

*Nods*
You nodded your head in agreement

Right after you nod she explains what adventurers are. You find out adventurers are those who risk their live doing tasks for the guild, the tasks vary in difficulty from picking up herbs to slaying beasts, these things that the adventurers collects and gives tto the guild can be used for a variety of things, from making medicine from herbs to making clothes and armor from the fur of beasts and monsters.

Next place you two went to went to is the Blacksmith. Here she explains that is this is where the town's weapons and armors are made. She adds to her explanation that this place is filled with talented people and that the weapons here are cheap yet strong and durable.

*Walking*

*Walking*

After going to the blacksmith you two went to the Town Square in where the shops are placed, you can find many things people sell here from food to jewelry. She was explaining to you but suddenly...

*Distant Shouting*

*People Running*

You and Azria hear voices of panic in the distance, you two rush over to where the sounds came from. The smell of fear lingering on the air gets more and more prominent as you both arrive at the scene. You two notice a beast attacking the fearful towns people. Looking at it from a distance it's as big as the surrounding houses, it had dark fur surrounding its body and has fangs and claws sharper than knives. Azria heads to the guild to tell them about this monster attack whilst you stand there wanting to help the people escape. As you help the townsfolk run to safety you lock eyes with the beast, its piercing blood colored eyes locks onto you filling you with uneasiness. Suddenly this beast rushes forth towards you.

As it heads towards you hear the sounds of panic around settling once more, nearby people run in terror desperate to escape this fearful encounter, doubts slowly creeps little by little but you don't have enough time, thinking logically you rush and find a hiding spot. While hiding it seems it couldn't find you, you take a look at the giant beast and notice that it was towards a child, you try to ignore it.

"You don't even know them"

"Why should you risk your life"

"Just escape no one will blame you"

You hear yourself saying these words but you know if you leave or stand by for any longer that child would die. You knew you needed to do something. You make up your mind and perservere through the voices as you come out your hiding spot and distract the beast. The beast was about to attack the child until it heard you, taunted it sprinted towards you once more. You feel a chill throughout your body it looks like your about to die, but you didn't regret doing this, you know that the guilt of letting that innocent child perish would hurt more than getting killed you wanted to accept your death, but yet couldn't accept this, no, not yet, you still need to return home.

You hear voices inside your head, loud but unintelligible. The beast is soon to arrive, but yet you feel no fear nor doubts, in its place there lies a burning passion for surviving. And as the zephyr comes and goes, a tempest of passion, and of determination rises. With your quick thinking you evade the beast's wrath avoiding death in doing so. You dodge and evade its attacks as you feel it's rage consuming itself more.  Wanting to end this quickly you try to lure it to a nearby boulder to make it hurt itself but whilst thinking you were caught by the beast's hands, you desperately try to escape but it was no use for it's grip is too strong. You close your eyes until you hear a voice...

"Over there!"
Azria shouted loudly

*Loud Roaring*

"Don't give up help is here!"
Azria shouted to you

You hear Azria shouting and when you look down you notice there stands besides her are people in armor and with weapons. Determined after seeing the people you try to taunt the beast once more to make sure the people down below could attack. The beast annoyed by your taunts tries to eat you at once but it was halted by the attacks, you take this moment to free yourself from it's grasps. You land safely on the ground and you run towards Azria. You two quickly escape the scene off to find a safer place.
