The picture is of the three men.
I stare in shock as the men swoop down and clash swords with the girl, and again I am astonished.
The girl's sword glows blue, and it seems to increase her fighting skill.
"What the crap?" I mutter. "How much more magical can this get?"
But as the girl backs up a little, her heel hits a rock and she stumbles. The leader sees his chance and hits the girls sword out of her hands.
The mans sword glows red, and he holds it straight up, ready to deliver the death blow.
"Nice try." He said, smirking. "But you can't beat us."
The man swoops down, and I leap out of my hiding place.
I unsheathed my sword and shout,
"Hey! Don't hurt her!" I dash forward and leap in front of the girl.
In the moment before swords clash, I focus all the energy I never knew was inside me. My sword glows green and our swords crash together.
I push his sword off and swing mine, a strong wind following.
I did that?
The girl behind me is frozen and I shout,
"Don't just sit there, help me!"
She collects herself and runs over to her sword. Not a moment to soon, because the man is advancing again.
He darts towards me, but the girl intercepts. The man falls backwards, and backs up a few paces.
"You may have won this time." He spat at us, "But—"
"Ugh, shut up." I groan. "Just leave already."
The man glared at us and leads the two other men away.
I glance at the girl, who put her sword back. I did the same and when I looked back up, the girl had her hand out.
"I'm Leafa." She said. "Thanks for helping me."
I shake hands with her and say,
"No problem. I'm Robin."
I glance around and ask,
"Can you do me a favor?"
Leafa nods and I say,
"Tell me where I am."
