I froze, staring directly at the soldiers. "We thought you were dead." The commander stated. I pulled out my dagger to protect myself. "Seize him!" Commanded the commander. The troops ran towards me. I kicked the first away, punched the second, and stabbed the third. The first two quickly recovered and, with the help of the other 3, began the second attack. I began to fight them off, with dagger and fist. I looked up to see the hole in the ceiling. I jumped up to it, kicking a soldier as I jumped. I clung to the broken ceiling for dear life. A few seconds later, I had gained the strength to pull myself up.After arriving at the roof of the late seer's abode, I jumped onto another building and escaped into the shadows from my attackers. I jumped down to the road before slipping into a inn to escape the soldiers.
"You alright?" I heard a deep voice come from a booth in the inn. I turned to see who had spoken. A Kobold, or a humanoid dragon, sat with two others. One, an elf sorcerer, and a human witch. It was the Kobold who spoke to me.
"Come, sit. I'll buy you a drink." They continued. I did as they said and sat down. "So tell me," the elf began, "Why are you so out of breath?" I wondered if I should change my answer, but replied, truthfully, with, "I was running from the guards." The witch nearly choked on her beer. "Why?" I sighed, taking a sip of my beer. "I had broke innto the seer's abode with my friend, who, Is gone now. And they also wanted me as I am the long lost King's nephew." I whispered this last part. "So your a criminal like us?" The Kobold asked. I shook my head, before realising I was. "Only because the king is a tyrant. I am the rightful ruler of the kingdom. I know how we can stop him. There is a emerald crown hidden in a cave to the north. The owner of it is the rightful ruler of the kingdom. Please help me find it." The elf, Kobold and human looked to eachother before agreeing. "But first," the elf began, "We must save the people of this town. We have some friends who will help. Aka, majority of the population of this town. Then, and only then, can we set out to find the emerald crown, with the help of this town after it is established independent." And with that, I had made my allies.
