With a not so noble graze did Vita wander through the forest, taking in the different sights. There was two things that Vita did notice however.
The further west Vita went, the flora and fauna became less magical. Althought there were some creatures that were completely different from the creatures on Earth. Like small monkeys that had the same tail as squirrels. Adorable little things, but they didnt have much genetic value to Vita. Well, they did have a bit of value, their tails were soft to the touch.
Oh, there are sheep here! But why do they look like that? Their horns are a bit weird looking too. And their eyes are sorta placed at the wrong spot too.
Vita stood in front on a small herd of sheep, but they had a brown earthy color with horns that went to the side like a water buffaloes instead of the battering horns they usually have.
Walking up to some of the sheep, the larger ones looked at him with a odd gaze. As if he was a big hamburger of sorts.
One of them were even drooling!
The largest ram let out a loud bleat. The sheep that stood in the way parted, letting Vita get a good look at the large thing. It looked a lot like the rest, but its horns had a slight red tint to it and so did its eyes. And again, its eyes were more forward pointed compared to normal sheep from Vitas memory.
It dug the ground with its foremost limb, obviously getting ready to charge. Vita, being the self proclaimed king of the forest would never say no to a duel. Rather than backing off, Vita got in a position so that they were both at the same height.
The ram seemed to take offence to this, as it let out another loud bleat and charged over with suprising speed and determination in its eyes. The different cells in Vitas body got ready for the impact. The multiple eyes went further in the skull in case they would pop out. Right as they would hit each other, Vita shot forward.
All of the nearby sheep recoiled when they heard the sound of something cracking. Vita managed to survive the collision with minimal injuries, just a few microfractures really.
Blood flowed out from almost all holes on the poor rams body. Mouth, eyes, just blood flowing out. It layed sprawled out in front of Vita, letting out some pitiful bleats compared to the previous ones. With a sigh, Vita continued to walk right throught the crowd of odd looking sheep. The crowd surrounded the dying ram, but Vita didnt care much.
Vita did start to care slighty more when the sound of flesh being torn.
Oh, oh my. So thats why their eyes are like that. I shouldnt interfere, but since they arent going to save the thing, I should go get a piece.
Somewhere quite far away. In a certain building.
"No." An old man sitting behind a desk said with a stern look. He look the the stereotypical old war veteran type. Grey hair with lots of wrinkles. He did also have multiple scars on his face as well, but all they did was to make his face look even more wrinkly.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Sitting on a chair in front of him sat a small gal. She had a small round face with big eyes. The typical babyface. It didnt help that she was pouting hard, blowing up her cheeks. It didnt matter to the old man however, as his eyes were colder than steel. A couple of seconds later the girl got out of the chair and walked out of the room, followed by a knight.
"Milady, are you sure about this? Old man Noah said no, and his word is one of the few things these adventurers will listen too." The knight put some extra weight on the word adventurer. He clearly didnt like them.
"Oh, dont be like that. Their so cool with their weapons and clothes! Didnt you see the one with the whip! She was so cool!" The young girl raised her hands up into the air while walking in front. The knight let out a silent sight. He also walked around with weapons and his armour was cooler too.
"Besides, we dont need a *lot* of people helping us, just a few."
"But Milady-" The knight tried to say something but was quickly cut off.
"You dont need to call me *Milady* either when there arent any rich people nearby." The girl blew up her cheeks while looking at the knight behind her. He let out another sigh but didnt say anything. With a 'hmph' the duo walked down the stairs.
One could immediatly tell the difference from the top floor and the first floor. The first was clean with white stone to support the roof. The room where Noah worked had carpets on the floor and it was quiet in there.
Downstairs on the other hand.
There where loads of people either drinking, eating or talking loudly about their jobs. There were also people walking around serving people their foods and drinks. The bar was also busy, with people drunksinging to each other for finishing a difficult job. Some however werent as happy as the rest and seemed to be mourning.
The little girl still couldnt get used to the smell of so many people and spices. Sir Knight walked up front this time with the girl behind him. Most people backed up when they saw the knight, and those who didnt got pushed away. When they turned around to see who pushed them, they quickly stopped in their tracks when they saw a knigth with a child behind him.
They walked up to a table placed in one of the corners. There sat a bunch of different people there, but they all had a somewhat serious attitude. The one who seemed to be the leader put down his cup and looked at the two. He had a brown stubble and a bald head.
"So, what did the old man say? Is the little princess allowed into to the scary woods?" He said with a grin. His teeth werent in perfect condition, but they were much better than having no teeth.
"Im-" Sir knight started.
"He said we shouldnt go to far into the forest and that we should be careful." The little girl interrupted. The knight turned around to look at the girl, but she just smiled at him.
"Well aint that some good news. After that massive cloud appaered deep in the forest, no one would wanna go too deep in there either." The man drank his beer in one go and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"Im Aaron, Adam here is our tracker and scout. Adi is our medic. Albert is too dumb to do anything smart, but he knows how to swing his axe around. And our esteemed guests are called?" Aaron held out his hand for a handshake. The girl shook his much bigger hand with a smile.
"My name is Diana Wolfheart." Aaron let go of her hand, got up and placed a couple coins on the table.
"Alright people, lets get out and get some fresh air." The group walked out, walking past more people. As they walked towards the large wooden doors, Aaron pulled off a note from a massive billboard. Lots of different notes were pinned on it, and the note he held in his hand read : Adventurers needed to help capture awesome monster, reward 10 gold coins.
