Kapitel 19: ADVENTURERS
During the night, mixed in the shadow of the trees, he stood guard in search of those who had tried to capture him and fled, but he did not see them anywhere, perhaps they were waiting for him to look for them or they simply did not come out for fear of finding him, in any case. the two reasons, the only truth is that they were not shown anywhere.
The few that remained gathered in their lair, they were scared, because they had never seen anything like it, in the corner of the cave there was one whispering, "she will come... she will kill us all... that witch... the red hood... noooo help" and he began screaming while clutching his head until the bandit chief hit him in the stomach so hard that he scooped out a handful of saliva, leaving him lying on the ground gasping for air as he writhed in pain.
- Listen you idiots, I warned you that we shouldn't mess with that monster and you still did it, I was a fool for letting you do what you wanted, now stop crying and go out and do what you know best.
They soon changed places to avoid meeting that woman who terrified them, they advanced south to try to capture another caravan far from that place.
The cave system that lay inside the mountain was made of natural formation, allowing access to different areas of the nearby forest without the need to go outside known as "the roads", however, they are really dangerous for those who do not know how they work since There are monsters everywhere, they are trapped there like some kind of prison since they can't get out beyond the entrances.
But the bandits have found a way to cross this place without major problems because in small groups it is easier to go unnoticed, people usually travel in large groups and it would be impossible to mobilize caravans in such a dangerous place.
Two days passed while the girl watched the forest without seeing any trace of those bandits until the night of the third day she saw a small group approaching with a wagon, in the front was a knight with armor that covered his entire body and He could see his face and the others when it began to get dark, an archer, seemed to have elf blood, but he did not notice his presence, so his blood is not strong, he thought, and he could also see a priestess and a magician, they camped while that subject of the armor stood guard.
She was curious that they were so attentive, so she kept watching them, anyway, they hadn't noticed his presence. Late at night he saw that those bandits who had previously attacked him were approaching from among the bushes, although it seemed strange to him that one was missing, perhaps his boss thought, anyway, he waited for those guys to ambush to finish what he had started three nights ago.
The moon rose in the sky and illuminated the entire forest, it was then that they decided to attack because they thought that the small group was sleeping and without much problem, they ran to pounce on those who were sleeping to kill them suddenly, but they only stabbed some bundles wrapped in sheets that were on the floor.
Intrigued from the top of a tree quite far away, the elf watched how these characters ambushed the bandits.
- So, they have sent adventurers, I guess I don't have to worry, after all this is not my objective.
- And if they are murdered? there are more than them...
- Look well, the tables have already turned... but let's take a look anyway.
Quickly in a fight that lasted little and with a well-planned strategy, the four defeated the bandits, and to their astonishment they did not kill them, they just captured them, and by then the sun was already rising.
- You have to be too foolish to forgive those guys, nothing good can come out of people like them, I would enjoy tearing them to pieces.
- How scary... don't say those things, you look like a lunatic
- Hummp, let's leave before them, I want to get to the village before.
About half an hour before the adventurers arrived at the Sentinel village, the elf passed through the guards' control, they just welcomed her and the guard looked her up and down, she was wearing a white outfit, a loose-fitting blouse and a skirt that reached above the knees, her outfit was accompanied by a hat with a feather, but what was most striking was her beauty, besides being an elf, her hair was crimson pure as blood, shiny and long, and some eyes as deep as the ocean.
Mute or perhaps captivated, but more than admiring her beauty, lust gnawed at them from the inside, "what does this woman have," the guard thought in silence, observing her with the others, "can I come in?" she asked.
"I could know what is the reason for visiting our village, miss" to which she responded by taking a violin out of a bag she was carrying on her back "As you can see, I dedicate myself to music, and I will only stay a few days."
- I'm glad to hear that... it will be a real pleasure to have you stay in our village...
Said a man as he approached looking at her from top to bottom, he approached and tried to take her hand, but she hid them, implying that she did not want to greet him, upon seeing this gesture the man added "my name is Tom, the mayor of this place to your service my lady"
- Ehhhh okay…thanks.
She retorted as she tried to hide her nerves.
-I'm going to see her when she does her performance… I really can't wait to see what she has to show us.
A reprehensible and disgusting face was drawn on the mayor while he savored his lips in a disgusting way.
- Well, I have to go, thanks for letting me pass.
She was so nervous that she had to pinch her arm to keep from running when she was able to leave the site.
When they had taken a prudent distance from the gates of the village, from between the bust of her the whistling appeared again. "Elise", she whispered to the little girl, because that was the name she had given to her companion.
- You could feel it right?
- In addition to the perversion in the head of those guys who seemed to devour you with their eyes like a group of animals in heat, I could also perceive a mixture of smells, especially that "Tom" ... something is not right in this place.
- Gross, because these things always happen to me, this outfit isn't even provocative, those damn pigs wouldn't stop looking at me, I could feel their aura, this place is infected, you have to look for the cause.
- I can feel it, but even more important, I think that there is one of them here, I can't be sure, but I feel a presence that mixes with that nauseating feeling... in the malice... it's everywhere... ahhhh it invades my mind... I must rest... soon I'll be with you... don't do anything reckless.
- Rest, for now I'll wear something that attracts less attention.
In a corner of an alley she changed her outfit, now covered full body by her usual cape, she mixed among the people of the town, but she soon realized it, she was being followed and observed, but how was it possible, that was what she was thinking while A little nervous, she walked towards the town square, because the idea she had at the time was that by attracting the attention of many people she would not have to deal with them in broad daylight.
The melody of the flute began to sound throughout the village and vines with red flowers that seemed to be bells began to sprout in the nearby buildings.
The people seeing such a phenomenon were ecstatic and had no choice but to approach that place, and then they saw her there, a maiden sitting on the edge of the fountain surrounded by butterflies of all sizes and colors that flew in circles throughout the square. to the rhythm of the melody.
Many people came to throw coins at her feet, others began to dance and hum the music, even many animals came to the roofs to listen to her.
And so just as it was starting to get dark she got up and gave a cheer to her audience and she disappeared before her eyes...
"What an impressive magic trick" some said, as her coins disappeared along with her.
In the darkness of the night, lying on the branch of a large tree on the outskirts of the village and finally out of reach of those subjects, the girl was able to relax, and her little companion showed herself again.
- You could have gone in and out of that place that way, why did you decide to walk in, and even worse, because you kept me suffering all that time.
- You are not the only one affected by this corruption...
- Let me see… God…
- It's not that bad, it will heal soon... but even more important, I could barely get out when it started to get dark, that place seems to be a crystal prison.
- Now that you mention it, I have no doubt, there must be one of them down there.
- I entered through the main door to be able to investigate more comfortably, appearing and disappearing inside that place could make those guards even more suspicious, at least if they know I'm an artist, I'll have a better chance of going unnoticed or at least that's what I thought, I didn't think this would get so complicated.
- Even so, we must try again.
- Of course, we cannot abandon them, tomorrow we will enter again.
The night became long and for some reason she couldn't get to sleep, something was disturbing her, "just like I can feel it right" said the little girl knowing that, although with her eyes closed, she couldn't sleep, she knew it because she could see people's dreams.
- I have a feeling that doesn't leave me alone, it's disturbing, but without a doubt now I know exactly, one of us is there, inside that place, underground.
- It will be difficult, without a doubt they have many of those crystals there, it doesn't seem to be a common town.
- I know, there is something very wrong.
- I don't think I can help you, it's hard for me to even stay conscious, it will be very risky without knowing what kind of people they are.
- I'll wait until tomorrow night to have an advantage; I can handle it with some of my power even with so much malice nearby.
- If there's a lot of danger, we'll look for another way, okay?
- Alright.
When the afternoon arrived, he showed himself again in the square and began to give his show again, however, those adventurers he had seen in the forest came to hear him sing, three of them were normal people, except for that knight in armor, "his soul it is in two planes at the same time" whispered the little girl, who had been perplexed since she had only heard rumors about this phenomenon, but in her long life she had not seen anything like it.
It did not seem like a hostile presence, and on the contrary, her aura, although mysterious, showed security and uprightness, even so, she could not risk-taking initiative if there was someone like that in the town, because she did not know which side she would take after him. his attack. And so again like the day before she decided to retire to the forest, but this time she would have a vision of her and in her she saw the group of adventurers killed by a monster in a very dark place.
Although he might not be able to do anything for their lives, he decided to warn the adventurers by standing in their path "warning them of the darkness".
-It was nothing, but even with his strength I doubt they would survive.
- You are kinder than you say.
- Enough, tonight we will storm the place and recover our friend.
