My First Day - Suffering
First day? Indeed was a scary one... I went through the dark forest,
to find an old man need help in killing several Rabbits. To think I went
and help him, yet I got attacked by a furious deer. *sigh*
I proceed to a small hut. Inside where by a pretty woman needs some
Acorns and Rabbit meats. I gave her mine and she taught me a
simple heal - Soothe . It was indeed an effective spell, although it
cannot help others, yet it helps me instantly. The pretty woman then
tells me to go West from the hut. What to do? I can yet to find my own
way as I have used up all my compasses.
" Finally! The gate to the city! " I said. I was relieved, yet was too
stressed up. What will happen inside? It seems safe from outside, yet
judging everything by the front will never help. I peeked through the
large keyhole. " It seems... Safe... yet! " I thought. *knocks*
I stepped in. " So this is the town of Buya... " I said to myself. It is so
lovely, but where is everyone? I felt a jolt through my spine.
Something is definitely wrong in this town... I was alarmed. An
imperial guard from the Buyan-Imperial-Army grabs my collar and
throw me inside a small hut. " Stay inside young lady! There is
a real havoc outside the city! Tigers are breaking free! " . That is
the last ever sentence I heard from him. " Aaaargh!! "
It seems crowded inside the hut... I asked a small lady. She told me
that an evil practicionist is summoning tigers from their Palace. I
was afraid. " Why did all these are happening? Am I the subject of the
trouble itself? It can't be! " I said. I dared myself to go out of the
hut. *opens door*
Nothing seems to be somewhere near me. I stepped forward. I see
the imperial guard who threw me inside the hut fighting a tiger. I tried
my best to help him by distracting the tiger's attention. ROARRRRRR
With a final slash, the tiger was dead. One down, tons to go... *sigh*
I doubt an imperial guard like him could slay all alone. I ran back to
the hut. " Everyone! Let's help to kill those tigers! I know, we are
weak! But trying won't hurt, and it is part of our duty! " I shouted in
fear.
After several persuading, all agreed to help. We threw stones, rocks,
while some distracts the Tiger's attention. Several hours of fighting
and all are killed. We ran. We tried to find the evil wizard yet to no
avail. Just as everything was back to normal, the evil wizard
appeared right infront of us. We screamed for help, yet he cursed us
one by one. No one is able to move, as we are completely paralyzed
to the ground. Only a brave imperial guard dare to fight him. He
stab his only large spear to the evil wizard's body. Green blood then
rushes out. What? He is not a human at all!
Although we were stoned, we pray in our heart for the evil wizard to
fall under the imperial guard's hand. Almost an hour past, finally the
evil wizard gave up. " Die? Nice phrase indeed... But I shall never die
alone. All of you shall do the same as me... "
:: Lightning Flash ::
Everything is on fire. Therei s no way we can ever escape, as we
ourselves was on fire as well. Impossible! The only way is to run
through the fire. The brave imperial guard ran out of the circles of fire
and throw in his jacket. We wore it, taking turns to dash out of the
circles ... ... ... ... ...
We sweat. After several hours of suffering, finally it is all over. Why
does it happens right on the first day I reached this town? Something
sure is fishy, yet I can never discover the secrets of the evil
parcticionist himself...
