               Fires and Combat

I slowly back away from the glowing green eyes. "Easy... Easy..." I say softly trying to calm myself. I hit the wall behind me not noticing I was so close to it.

                   I move my hand down to my sword as the room lit up. I looked around to find the source of the light. Finding a window on one part of the wall with a shadowy figure there speaking in a harsh tone directed at me. "You're gonna regret that... You are going to regret that. Your whore is in town getting food so nobody can come save you." He said stepping forward revealing him as the bartender.

         "My name is Tokuto Tamer. I see you've met my friend there. I'm going to enjoy watching you die!" With that he pulled a lever releasing the tiger from its chains as it launched as it launched at me. I dodged to the right tripping over a bone on the ground.

            I looked up at the tiger as it came towards me not giving me time to move. He pounced jumping on my chest ripping my shirt off as I escape it's hold. I scramble back up drawing my sword as my pupils flashed changing to red with 5 tiny circles swirling inside.

         I drop my sword losing control of my hand as it aimed itself at the tiger releasing a fireball which the tiger avoided. Tokuto looked astonished, as did I as I looked at my now red hand, I aimed it forward again hitting the tiger, pushing it to the end of the room.

      Tokuto seeing his tiger hit the wall ran back to the door pushing on it as if trying not to let me out. I walked up the stairs my eyes changing back to normal.

   
                  I walk to the top and try to push the door open, Tokuto's whole body was pushing against it not letting me out. I look back downstairs to see the tiger moving towards me then start running.

                 I ducked as he pounced smashing the door apart landing on Tokuto, Dead. "You... You killed him... You killed my pet... Now you will suffer..." As he said that, he good up drawing his sword and swinging it at me but stopping mid-way.

         With a stutter he looked down to see a blade coming out of his chest. He looked back up and fell down. Revealing a tall man dressed in scrappy armor made from leathers from different animals.

            "Good thing you're okay. You have some kind of fighting skill that's for sure. Most people can't wield a blade and cast spells. I would like you to join my army. We are not the best but we can hold our own in a battle. What do you say?" A man said taking his sword from inside Tokuto's chest. 

         The light from outside made it seem as if his blue eyes were glowing as he looked at me. "No, I will not join your army... I'm quite fond of my group. I have objectives other than to die by the hand of another man thinking we are the enemy." I said walking back downstairs and grabbing my sword from the spot I dropped it. I put it back on my belt and walked outside just as Alice came back.

               "Where did you go earlier?" She asked looking confused seeing me shirtless with a scratch on my chest. "I went to see what was all the ruckus and ended up being attacked by Tokuto Tamer.. The bartender and his tiger. Why do you ask?" I looked at her smiling as the pain struck me again.

        "Oh no reason just got worried... Anyways here come with me I know where we can be with nobody else interfering." She said softly blushing at the same time.

                 "Okay mark it on my map ill meet u there I have to buy somethings." I said getting up and handing her my map. I see her mark a cave a mile from the village, next to a lake, she handed me the map then turned and walked in the direction of the cave.

            "Be there soon!" I said waving at her. I ran towards the tailoring shop and get a fine cloth shirt and a robe then I walked one of the other blacksmiths. "Can I make my own sword here?" I asked the man there as he nodded.

                "Well I need some ingots... Around 6 gold ingots, 2 lapiz rocks, 20 Deathglaze ingots, and 10 leather." I said smiling as he handed me the ingots. Then I walked to the anvil and make a sword out of the void black deathgaze which I then colored parts of it blue drawing the alchemical sign for gold.

                       I walked back outside and paid the man 400 golden coins for everything. I walked in the direction of the cave where I found Alice was sitting at the entrance of the cave. "Why aren't you inside yet?" I asked confused. "I heard shreaks and the voice of a girl inside." She said seeming a bit scared.

               "Ok then ill go insi..." I said getting interupted by her kissing me. "I'm... I'm sorry... I couldn't near the thought of you not coming back and me not having kissed you." She said blushing harder as I grabbed her by the waist and kissed her once more passionately.
