Bloody Battle | Finally Arrived

by Liam Twain

Well, it turns out I got into a battle with news travel companions of mine before I thought I would. Drug Slayer did indeed find the group of people who had stolen all her things. She spoke with their leader and demanded that they give back her items. In typically drug lord fashion, he refused and laughed about how her family died, calling it an accident. It was pretty clear that he had them killed, which, for a moment confused all of us. Drug Slayer had not mentioned that her family has been killed. When we inquired, she said she thought it was implied.
 
So, I have made a note. I will never tell someone I have lost something, or something has been stolen. Too much can be implied here.
 
With the refusal, Drug Slayer decided to live up to her name, and we followed. I didn't even try without my mask, the minute I could I slid it on. They seemed like bad people, exactly the kind I am hunting. I just really hoped that the mask would feel and understand my intentions, I didn't want to hurt my traveling companions.
 
Well, I think it is understood. When the mask finally came off, 16 people were dead, 4 by my hand. The leader was tied up, a somewhat arrogant, yet fearful look on his face. Idandil was there with me, though with her hat and mask, I could not tell what she was thinking. We talked for a brief moment, she could obviously tell I changed while I fought, but didn't seem to on edge. Once I regained my senses, I joined the others in creating graves for the dead. They had already started. I was glad, to see them caring for the dead. I might be on a path of blood and death, but that doesn't mean we need to disrespect the dead, no matter how they were in life. I would greater prefer to not be on this path to begin with, so I'll do anything I can do to keep my humanity.
 
I think I might have freaked out a few. Airen Laupë kept looking at me weirdly. I can't say I blame him. I have to become a monster, so I should get used to being seen as one. Who goes out and kills like this, and becomes anything but?
 
After dealing with the drug lord, which included going back to town, getting Drug Slayers items back plus a little extra. From there, we bought some gear, got some food, and headed out.
 
I tried something I had never had before, nor thought to try. The green slimy looking plants at the bottom of the sea, some sort of weed. Simpaváya bought some dried version of them and had everyone try it. It was much better then I was expecting. I am now much more interesting in grabbing different plants that don't look ediable, and giving them a try. I could be surprised!
 
After a few days of traveling, we have finally arrived at the guild thing. There are only really two I am interested it, but I wouldn't mind choosing the one more of our group choses. I have enjoyed traveling with them, and they already know what I am, and haven't tried to kill me. Thats worth holding onto I think
