April 6th, The jade castel
She took her hands off the wooden tabel and slowly walked over to her husband and looked him in the eyes coldy, her forest like green eyes meeting his dark, deep ocean blue ones. She raised a hand and slapped him on the cheek trying to make him come back to his senses after he had been poisned by somone in their own home a few days ago. She tried everything to get him back but nothing worked and it's made her deeply devastated. She sat down on the ground, her long honey-blonde hair spread out on the ground like a flowy river in the sunshines. Her hands went to her face and covered her eyes as a few drops of tears had fallen down her eyes, going down on her soft cheeks. After ten days she decided to take action and find out who did this to her husband and end their life with her own hands no matter what, no matter who. She stood up and put on her long silky black franch coat that rested on her chair and walked out throung the huge Doors with lion head-like doorknobs, pushing throung the guards. She snuck out into the kitchen without anyone noticeing her and packed herself seven weeks worth of food and water into her backpack. She walked alot until her feets hurt and her clothes had gotten dirty. On her way to find out who poisned her husband she got herself a sword with the name Harmless Gold. Though this sword has taken alot of lives before, she dosen't knows that
March 12th, The forest of the cursed
Arwen was walking in the forest with a tight grip on her sword in her hands. She then heared something form the bushes but instead of checking what it was, she went on her way but as She had gone deeper and deeper into the forest she felt eyes all over her and heared unsetteling sounds form the distance in the forest. With every step she took it felt like a rock being put on her back. She walked for hours but then her legs gave up on her and she almost fell but something grapped her by the hair. She turned her head to the side to see who caught her but she saw wasn't a friendly face, it was a werewolf. The werewolf looked hungry and dangerous to say the least. Arwen tried to wiggel her way out if its claws but she couldn't, so she grapped Harmless Gold and then with one siwft move she cut her beloved long honey-blonde hair to get out of the beast's claws. Arwen hurriedly got up and started running into the unknow with the beast close on her trails. She looked back to see if She was still being followed but what she saw instead wasn't as expected. The werewolf was begin torn apart by another beast that looked like some kind of huge blue bird, blood getting on her soft, pale skin made her eyes go wide. She slowly backed away being careful not to make a sound. As she continued walking she came across a city even though it looked abadoned it was still better than nothing as protection form the night. As soon as she stepped a foot into the city, she felt a calm, cold breeze brush throung her now short, pretty hair. This part of the forest felt diffrent, it was calmer and nicer but she still felt like being watched. Arwen's stomach growled out of hunger. She hasn't eaten for three days now so she was pretty hungry. She took her backpack off and took out a bread stick that already looked dry but It's still food and her best option for now.
She ate the dry, bland bread stick then went to look for a place to at for the night. Today's nigth is quite beautiful, starts in the sky shining bright like a diamond. The moon made the waters look like they are glowing under the night sky, the cool, soft breeze giving a calming presence to the now abandoned city which was once full of life and launghter. Arwen found a nice place to sleep in so now she was just takeing a nap. In the morning when she woke up she felt something next to her so she looked over and got strateled when she saw a pair of yellow eyes looking at her but after she looked closer it looked like a cute bear cub just with red fur and werid white markings on its body. Though the bear cub didn't seem to have a parent around they quickly bonded over a jar of honey and some cookies she had packed before she left for he mission. After having eaten almost a whole jar of honey she finally gained the cub's trust and when she began walking the cub started following her and she couldn't get it off her.The bear cub grew up rather fast compared to what she expected and now she ended up with a personal bear body guard but the bear was still dumb and needed training to be abel to take on close range combat. She slowly but steadily trained her bear assasin to assist her if she ever got into a combatant situation. While training the bear happened to fart a tornado and that's how Arwen found out that It's not an ordinary bear. The bear has the element of the wind. It was quite a funny discovery and she will definitely never let her bear live it down. Unfrotunately for them the tornado caused more trouble than joy so they had to get out of there quickly. She had chosen the name "Snuggelpaws" for her rather big bear companion.
A month later, the village of Bramblefoot
Arwen and Snuggelpaws were walking in the streets of Bramblefoot looking at all the new things there. Bramblefoot had alot of interesting shops in its marketplace, for example, one shop was selling diffrent kind of mana stones. Mana stones are a type of stones that hold diffrent kind of powers each stone. They can be found in diffrent shapes and colors by hunting and killing monsters. For example, if you slaughter a goblin you get a green sharp shaped mana stone which ussually boosts either your speed or hearing but if you get one form a werewolf it boosts your eyes which means you will have nigth vision and sharp eyesight. There were also many food shops, some selling werid looking food which supiraseingly tasted well and some were selling normal looking food. While the two were looking around they noticed something diffrent in the town folks. They were not humans, well not exactly humans As they were beast folks, humans with beast features and hapits. Snuggelpaws was sniffing all over the place and had stolen a big, yummy and juicy looking cooked turkey, and of course the owner of the food shop wasn't happy about it at all so why not just steal more? It's not like it could be worse. They had spoken too soon as Arwen ran right into the arms of the village's chief and was taken to the prison of Bramblefoot. They even took Snuggelpaws with them. She had to get out so she took matters into her own hands and pulled her big girl pants up even tho she was wearing a dress under her coat. She tapped Mr. BlurpOrb's one of the prison guard's shoulder and when he looked She punched him in the face and quickly took the cell's keys. And now all She has to do is open the cell door and find Snuggelpaws. Arwen found her way to the main streets and started looking around like a fool until she spotted a suspiciously large cage covered with a cloth. She was hoping it's Snuggelpaws, She snuck behind the cage where the eyes of the public cant see her and peaked under the cloth to see what was insade the cage
- Hey, you!
She heared a strong, deep male voice form behind then the sound of metal boots touching the ground. The sound was getting closer to her until it stopped just behind her. Arwen looked up and she saw a handsome knight in shiny silver armor and a sword on his belt. He looked handsome but that grumpy look on his face kinda took it away.
- What do you think you are doing?
The man asked while looking down at Arwen with his strikeing rusty brown eyes that made you think of autumn when looking at them. When Arwen looked in his eyes she couldn't get a singel word out of her mouth.
- What do you think you are doing? — He asked again.
- I was just looking at this intresting cage — She mutterd.
- How can an empty cage be intresting? — He asked, questioning her intentions.
- I didn't know it was empty — She exclaimed in a rether upset voice.
- Alrigth now, move on — He ordered.
She then procceded to walk away form the cage, disappointed as she didn't found Snuggelpaws. She couldn't get the knight out of her mind though. She started to question why he was there as it was a dead end street with no businesses on it. She went back to investigate.
- What are you doing on this empty end street all by yourself? — She asked.
- What do you think I'm doing? I'm litetally guarding this cage. — He responded looking a bit upset about her coming back.
-Why are you guardian and empty cage? — She curiouly asked.
- It is not empty. — He angrily told her.
- It isn't? Why dont I see anything insade it? — She wondered.
- Umm...I cannot tell you more about it. Now move along. — He ordered her again.
Arwen left the cage to be but couldn't stop thinking about the seemingly empty cage. What if it is used to smuggel Snuggelpaws out of the village? She started to do more digging on this matter as her goal was still to find Snuggelpaws. She started asking the villagers about the stranger cage and the knight she just talked to but nobody seemed to know anything about them or maybe they were trying to keep it a secret. It was running late so she had to go back to her motel but she went to bed feeling uneasy. She couldn't sleep during the night so she went out to further explore the village. The streets were empty, the only thing she saw was her own silhoutte. She was getting stronger step by step but the clock was ticking hard so she had to get back to exploring the village. The village's main street was lit up by old oil lamps giving it a fantastic vibe. When she had gotten to the original location of the cage, she found the knight sleeping on top of the cage. She quickly and quitely lifted the cloth covering the cage and took a peak insade but still couldn't see anything.Her shoelaces were untied and when she bend over to tie them, she noticed something red sticking out on the corner of the cage. It turns out Snuggelpaws was given an invisibility cloak and that's why she couldn't see anything insade. She was shocked by her discovery and happily said „SnuggelPaws!”. This woke up the Kinght though so unfrotunately she had to have another encounter with him.
-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? - He shouted at her, more upset then he was ever before.
-STOP SNOOPING AROUND, DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU COULD GET ME ARRESTED!? — He continued shouting at her.
- Well, you were sleeping so it's your fault. — She said
- People get tired you know — He whisperd quitely.
- You were cute sleeping. — She said it in a flirty way.
