The bandit leader looks at the bandit that Amari had a sword at the back of conflicted, before turning to the other three, who are waiting for his answer. "Attack her," the bandit leader said. "What?" One of the bandits said, not believing what the leader said, "I said attack her, dang it!" the leader shouted. Amari then stabs the bandit she was holding in the back as she says, "Haste." Suddenly, she is moving two times faster than before as she stabs one of the other bandits in the stomach. "Two down, three to go." She then trips another bandit, and slams his face into the ground, and cuts his neck. "Two more," she quickly punches the other bandit who tried to stab her with her own dagger. "Thanks for this back," she says, then stabs him in the neck with it, making him drop to the ground. She looks at the leader. "One to go." The leader draws his sword and runs up to her. "I'm going to kill you!" he shouts. She then says, "Authority," and then he slows down and says, "What is this?" She calmly walks up to him. Amari stands in front of him as a slow swing from his sword tries to hit her, but she simply dodges and says, "I made a promise, and I plan to keep it. You tried to stop me, and well, here we are." She stared at him in the eyes, and his eyes widened. "Wait, wait, let's talk about this Huh. What do you want?" She then cuts his head off.

She turns her head after hearing a rustle and sees the guy she hit with the arrow in his arm trying to take the satchel. "Hey!" She shouts, and the guy starts running. She runs after him and winces. "My injuries," she thinks, then throws the sword she had from one of the bandits at the guy, making him fall, then throws her dagger at his neck, making him drop to the ground. She quickly goes over to the satchel and checks on the egg. She sighs, seeing that it was alright. "You're a tough one, alright," she says, looking down at the guy and sees something in his back pocket. "What is this?" She took the map and opened it, seeing what looked to be a way to a kingdom. "Huh" is all she can manage as she goes to sit under a tree and sighs, putting the satchel over her body. She looks at the egg and then at the bodies around her and lets her head rest on the trunk.

 "Thank you, Miss. I will be on my way." Amari said, giving the woman some money, "You are welcome, and be careful with the bandages." Amari smiled and nodded. "Have a good day, madame," and she left. The woman smiled and sighed, "Such a polite girl however, I wonder what happened to get her that injured?" The woman looked down at her hand that Amari had put the money in and saw one silver coin. "What a minute.... HEY, I ONLY ASKED FOR 30 BRONZE!" The woman shouted. Amari smirked and continued to walk, missing the woman's grateful smile. Amari, now with the satchel over her body, looked around. "It was a good thing I came across this village my injuries were worse than I thought." Amari thought as she looked around, looking for something. "Speaking of villages," Amari looked down at her bandaged hand. "I am glad I came across that village a while ago and learned that spell haste it really helped me back there." She looked up and saw what she was looking for. A man about in his 40s on a horse with a wagon attached to it. She jogged up to him before remembering her bandages and slowing down. "Mister?" The man looked at her and said, "How can I—" He stopped seeing her bandages. "Are you ok?" he asked. Amari nodded. "I'm ok, I just ran into a little trouble." "Um, ok, then if you say so anyway, what can I do for you?" The man asked, "I was wondering if you could take me here." Amari asked, taking out the map she took from the bandit and showed the place. "Uh, are you sure you want to go there?" he asked. "I'm sure," Amari said, confused about why he seemed off. "Is something the matter?" "Well, it's just that I'm not sure you should really go there..." he trailed off. Now she was really confused. "What do you mean?" "What I mean is that the place is not how it used to be now it's just..." "Just?" "Just bad, like really bad. I went there like a year ago, and I got robbed two times, and the place smelled terrible everywhere I walked. I could not tell if a person was a city guard or thug, and when I wanted to put in a complaint to the king, he was sick, so I couldn't even talk to him!" Amari sweat dropped. "Ookk," she said, not really knowing what to say. The man sighed and said, "Look, the point is, I don't recommend that place, but if you really want to go there, you're going to have to pay extra." "Wait what?! It can't be that bad!" Amari said, astonished, "It is!" The man said he was crossing his arms. Amari sighed. "Ok, so how much is it?" The man hummed before saying, "About two silver coins now and nine silver at the end." Amari blinked before saying, "Hey, wait a minute, that's a whole gold coin and some at the end of this! Are you trying to scam me!?" Like I said extra," the man said, "I would much rather walk then!" Amari said the man chuckled, "With your injuries? Yeah right." "Watch me," Amari said. She turned around and started walking. The man taped his foot for a few seconds before sighing, "Fine, how about three silver coins?" Amari smirked and said, "That's better."
