4 Chapter 4:On our own

It's been 10 years since I started living with the person who saved me. He has a nice family of 4 and including me it's 5. Him his wife and 2 children who are the same age as me. Ihave gotten along with them over the many years and now care for them like they are my own blood, so I've come around to calling them by their names , mom(Elizabeth), dad(Nathaniel),sis(Diane)and bro(King). Diane and King didn't know what to feel about me at first when they met me because I had blood on me and I was a traumatized little kid but eventually Diane, King and I grew very close together and now all three of us want to be monster slayers. Mom calls us her little trio of monster slayers since we all want to be them. Now that dream may be able to become reality since the monster slayer try outs are in a month . The tryouts are going to last a month in the country of monsters and have a 80 percent survival chance. Mom and dad hope we come back safely without any serious injuries. I promised them that we will all come back safe because we will protect each other no matter what. I still haven't gotten over what happened ten years ago and it's all I dream about now. That dragon, that stupid dragon, his murderous eyes, his scar on his face, the feel of his breath on my skin His face haunts me and keeps me up at night. Once I become a slayer i'm going to form a group and hunt down that dragon. Diane and King said they would help me hunt down the dragon but it's to risky, I don't want anyone else close to me dying, but they are my best shot of team members because we have the best team chemistry and and we have trained together for many years so we know each other's weaknesses and strengths. When we finally got out of the district and into the main city we knew we had to get suitable clothes and weapons for our adventure so we went to the nearest gear shop and bought the cheapest gear we could find so we bought a long sword for me, a bow for Diane and dual blades for King. We also bought black cloaks for each of us because black is our favorite color. I told King and Diane, " The try outs are in a month and are only 4 city's over so hopefully that should be a long enough time for us to gain more experience about fighting monsters and hopefully get more money to get better gear later own because to be honest, we are flat broke after buying the gear. " Diane and King agreed with me and so we left the city Valerium and followed the path to the the next city Aquarious. When we left Valerium we were in a forest and heard a lot of different animal and monster sounds that we have never heard of. We had a good idea of what some of the sounds were because of school but school didn't teach us everything about monsters. They just taut us the name's of all the monster's and what type of environment they live in. I was playing a guessing game with King and Diane trying out figure out what type of animal and monster was the sound coming from to past the time and as usual King always won. He was the expert among us when it came to monster and animal analytics while Diane was the battle technician because she knew how to utilize anything around her to her advantage and she knew multiple fighting styles. I on the other hand was good at using any type of weapon and using my brute strength to put more power into my weapons. We wanted to try out our new weapons since we've never used real weapons before, we have only used wooden ones so we went deeper into the forest and strayed from the path to find a small monster we could kill and we found a group forest nymphs and they attacked first so we doged and I took my long sword out of my sheath and with one

fell swoop took one out, but another one was rushing me from behind but Diane knocked her arrow and released it quick enough to save me. King was running back and forth with his dual blades and spinning every time he came into contact with a nymph. Diane and I realized that was the move dad taught him before we left. I'm glad to see King putting it to good use. we killed all the nymphs and gathered their materials so we could sell them ot go to a blacksmith and make gear with them or infuse it into our weapons to add special effects to them. It was night time before we knew it so we decided to make camp next to the trail so we don't get lost when we wake up. When we woke up the next day we continued our journey to Aquarious and when we got there the city was humongous. It was full of towers, shops, bazaars, blacksmiths and gear shops. All three of us were overwhelmed and shocked but we wanted to get rid of the nymph parts first so we went to the blacksmith and asked them what we could do with the parts and the blacksmith said we could make many different things with it and sell them. He asked us if we were going to participate in the monster slayer try outs because his daughter is going and we told we are. So he asked us if his daughter could join our little "adventure" to try outs and we told him sure we really don't mind. He told us that his daughters name was Liz and he told us that she was a blacksmith so she could be valuable to our group. We accepted his request and in exchange made all of our transactions free. I infuse the nymph Parts into my long sword so it could extend itself at my will and Diane got a nymph bow, it can shoot 3 arrows at a time quicker then normal. King got speed enhancing bracelets. The rest of the parts we had left over we sold and it turns out Liz is a hammer user and I've never met a hammer user before so it will be fun to see what they are like. Liz showed us around Aquarious and how the city was separated into a business,housing, market and common districts. We stopped to eat somewhere and then departed Aquarious. Now we are heading to the city of Nebula.
