"It's morning already, I felt not a single bit of sleep." ,-he said getting up and puts on his prosthetic leg. "Good, it's a full charge." ,-he continues dismantling the camp. Ready to move on.

"Based on that the elder Villager told me is to head out west, and I will find a town in three days of walk." ;-he thought it was quite foggy in the morning.

After walking the whole morning Carter hears a fight in the distance. "Well I better check this out, I kind of lost at this point." ,-he said jogging towards the commotion.

Through the tree down the mountain, Carter encountered something from a distance down the valley.
"Elves?.....humans!" ,he said excitedly but soon it turns for the worse. The group of elves have surrounded a carriage with people and the guards are trying to hold off the enemy which seems to be the elves.

"Well, I guess there are bad elves also." ,-Carter thought observing the elves from a distance. "Fuck they found me." ,-he said as an arrow hits him directly in the chest.

"Ah! Hahaa...Thank goodness I have this Kevlar armor, if not it would have been another story." ,-he thought taking out his M16 with a silencer on. "Bye-bye." ,-He waves at the elf and which looked at him confused followed by a bullet that went straight through his head.

Looking down at the arrow sticking out near his stomach. It didn't penetrate his armor, "Need to be more careful." ,- switching his leg to hiker mode it uses more energy to move around in tougher terrain.

Then Carter switches in putting on a Ghillie suit camouflaging himself with the surrounding forest. Locating and taking out one elf at a time with similar clothing. "Shoot first ask questions later." ,-he kept shooting before the elves could react. "It's quite convenient for them to have almost the same outfit." ,-he noted

The knights at the bottom of the hill are quite shocked to see their enemy get decimated in a matter of minutes. And soon something in the distance appeared walking towards them covered in leaves and plants.

"That wasn't the encounter I was expecting. Is everyone okay?" ,- Carter asked t.
*Skill gained: +2 agility*

The knights were still standing still without moving. "Yes we are fine, thank you for the assistance. Who are you?" ,-said a female voice revealing to be a girl in her late teen's.

"Princess what are you doing?" ,-said the knight trying move the princess to a safer position.

"Stay back!" ,-said another knight with his sword on guard.

"I'm just a traveler, looked like you guys needed assistance." ,-said Carter taking off his Ghillie suit. "It seems the knights have calmed down for now." ,-he thought getting closer, "Wait."

As he gets closer the knights were tense again, "What's going on? oh!" ,- he notice a girl slightly shorter than him walking up to him. "So what why they are so tense." ,-he thought slowing his walking speed.

"Where skills seemed quite impressive, are you a mage?" ,-said the Princess.

"Yes? And who you may be princess?" ,-asked Carter guessing what she was considering what she was wearing.

"Oh that's right." ,-she ask happily seeing the person who help her.

"I haven't seen the princess speak so openly." ,-said one of knights in the back taking a breather.

"Well, it's been a few months since she came back home." ,-said the other knight still vigilant. 

"I'm the Princess Amarissa from the Kingdom of Dalia." ,-she introduced herself

"Simple for a kingdom." ,-he thought as he continued on. "Carter, I'm just a wondering soldier." ,-he said turning around as he heard a crack in the distance. "Princess looks like you need to get out of here."

"What! Why?" ,-she questioned as the knights move into position.

"Looks like theirs more coming." ,-said Carter spotting a disturbance in the trees 900 yards away. "You two knights get the princess out of here."

"Why are you—" ,-one knight took it as an offense.

"Princess we need to leave." ,-said the other knight trying to get the princess to safety.

"Don't just me Princess your along too." ,-said Amarissa

"Well is not like I have somewhere I need to be." ,-he thought, "Alright." ,-he said jumping in the cart as the caravan was set in motion.

Quickly checking his inventory.
"Protection? Since when did I get that! This is getting more confusing...Wait if am still young why do I still have my prosthetic." ,-Carter received an injury in a conflict in the north, but now it doesn't make sense why would he still have it at this age." ,-he thought as the princess was still looking at him.

"Is something wrong?" ,-asked Amarissa

"No, but I should recommend to lower your head." ,-said Carter feeling a killing intent nearby.

As a sword flew through the carriage window opening. "I expected an arrow not a fricking sword!" ,-said Carter more alert and amused to see someone closed by trying to attack a this moment. "Wait here." ,-as Carter walks outside along with the two knights.

"Don't go..." ,-said Amarissa as the he could hear her knights and Carter outside fighting followed by a loud *BANG!*and suddenly everything stopped. Their was no noise silence.

"...Sorry, we were inspecting the attackers. Let's go." ,-said Carter breaking the silence as the carriage continued moving. "Damn my leg took more damaged than I thought." ,-Carter continued checking his prosthetic leg if there was any further damage.
