Freedom

Rowana and the Black widow, faced each other in the middle of the rebel camp. The tension in the air was palpable, and the other rebels had taken several steps back, leaving the two women in a circle of empty space.

Ren watched from a distance, his heart pounding with fear and excitement. He had never seen a fight between two powerful women before, and he wasn't sure what to expect.

The Black widow was tall and slender, with long black hair and piercing green eyes. She wore a tight-fitting leather outfit that showed off her seductive and curvaceous body. Rowana, on the other hand, was shorter and bulkier, with short grey hair and a weathered face. She wore a simple tunic and trousers.

The two women circled each other, their eyes locked in a deadly stare. Ren could feel the tension building, like a storm gathering in the sky.

Suddenly, the Black widow lunged forward, her fists blazing with energy. Rowana dodged to the side and countered with a kick to the woman's midsection. The woman grunted and stumbled back, but quickly regained her balance and attacked again.

The fight was fast and furious, with both women moving so quickly that Ren could barely keep up with their movements. Punches and kicks were exchanged in a flurry of motion, each blow landing with a sharp crack.

Ren could see that Rowana was holding her own, despite the other woman's superior speed and agility. Her strength and durability were impressive, and she seemed to be able to absorb the other woman's attacks without flinching.

But Black widow was relentless, attacking from all angles and never giving Rowana a moment's respite. Ren could see the strain on Rowana's face, and he knew that she was starting to tire.

Suddenly, Black widow landed a powerful blow to Rowana's chest, sending her flying backward. Rowana crashed into a tree and slumped to the ground, gasping for air.

Black widow stalked forward, a cruel smile on her lips. Ren could see the killer intent in her eyes, and he knew that she meant to finish Rowana off.

At this point Ren's group have to intervene in Rowana Favor, breaking the balance of power between the two group.

Although the addition of a golden rank would not make a massive disadvantage, it would still tip the battle on favor of Rowana at the long run, and the Black widow suddenly seems much calmer.

After analysis the battlefield situation she sees that her camp was in a disadvantage situation she just run away, taking advantage of the few injuries of Rowana.

As Rowana stood up and brushed the dirt off her clothes she orders to dispose of the remaining loyalist troop and then fully focus on Ren s group, Ren and his group rushed over to her, concerned for her well-being. She smiled at them and thanked them for their help, but also told them that they should leave as soon as possible. She revealed that she was part of the secret police of the theocracy.

Rowana was very pissed off by the scape of his daughter, she tells them about the operation of the secret police in this place, apparently this city will be wipe out in a day, because the confirmed notice of the chaotic corruption will never be taking lightly by any faction.

With this in mine Rowana recommend Ren to travel Wachtburg a city that was locate in the other way from where they come, this city was 2 weeks away and forbid slavery, it has some connection and trade with some of the republic that were part of the Republic of Bran

Ren and his group were shocked, but they also knew that they had to leave and start a new life elsewhere. They had gained their freedom, but they knew that they were not safe in this land.

After exchange some more information with Rowana, the group march to city, the travel was uneventful and in the 2 week they reach the city of Wachtburg.

The city had a distinct medieval look, with narrow cobbled streets and tall stone buildings that loomed overhead. The architecture was mostly Gothic, with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses that gave the buildings an air of grandeur and majesty.

As Ren and his group made their way through the city, they were greeted by the hustle and bustle of daily life. The streets were filled with people going about their business, haggling at market stalls, or hurrying to and fro with arms full of goods. The air was thick with the scent of roasting meats, freshly baked bread, and the pungent aroma of spices.

Despite the city's size, there was a sense of community that pervaded the atmosphere. Neighbors knew one another and stopped to chat, and children played in the streets, running and laughing without a care in the world.

But amidst the bustling energy of the city, there was also a darker side. Ren noticed the red light district, a seedy section of town where brothels and other vices were openly displayed. The streets were lined with establishments that offered various forms of entertainment and pleasure, ranging from music and dance to the more salacious and taboo.

Despite the unsavory nature of the district, Ren couldn't help but feel drawn to it. The signs and raucous laughter promised a kind of freedom that he had never experienced before, a life without rules or restrictions. But he knew that he couldn't afford to be reckless in a place like this. The city was full of dangers, both seen and unseen, and he needed to stay alert if he was going to survive.

As the group stood in the town square, they discussed their future plans. The two dwarves, Hector and Gabriel, were eager to make their way to the Free Republic of Bran. They had heard that there was a thriving dwarf's community there, and they hoped to find work as body guards, it will remain to be seen if the form another mercenary unit again.

The two half orcs, Audras and Aras, had decided to follow Peruke. They admired his strength and courage, and they wanted to learn from him. Peruke had a personal mission - to track down the members of his old mercenary unit who had betrayed him. He wanted revenge, and he was determined to find them and make them pay for what they had done.

Ren, on the other hand, wanted to stay in the city and become stronger. He knew that he had a long way to go before he could face the Black widow or the theocracy again. He needed to train and gain more experience.

After everyone share the path that will follow, the dwarf part way, and Ren with the half orcs start to look for some way to gain a little money to sustain themselves.

As they talked, they noticed a group of people gathering in the town square. They seemed to be merchants, setting up stalls and displays of goods. Ren walked over to take a closer look and was surprised to see that one of the merchants was selling weapons and armor.

Ren doesn't have money to buy anything, but the merchant wants to bought the leather armors of the half orcs, after all these armor was found during the run of the miner city and doesn't fit them well, the merchant was very pleased when he buys it for a cheaper price that he gave them information on some mission that pay well, it was about to slay some troublesome goblins on the great forest of Purran.

Ren and his group direct to the Adventurer guild, to look for the mission, it was a low level mission of extermination but as the gobbling reproduce at rabbit pace, and with the low reward that has before the situation were left uncheck and the problem grew to the actual state, so now the reward were a little bigger and a lot of adventurer were participating.

They register paying the fee with the little money they earn from the selling and immediately after they left to the mission.

The group set out towards the Great Forest of Purran, ready to take on the goblins and complete the mission. As they traveled, Ren couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. He was eager to prove himself in battle and to earn his place in the group.

When they finally arrived at the forest, they found the goblins easily enough. The creatures were small and sneaky, hiding in the underbrush and using their numbers to overwhelm their prey.

The battle was intense, with goblins swarming the group from all sides. But with Peruke's leadership and the strength of the half orcs, they were able to hold their ground and fight back.

Ren fought with all his might, using the skills he had learned in his training to strike down the goblins. He could feel his confidence growing with each blow, and he knew that he was starting to become a true warrior.

When the battle was over, the group counted their spoils and divided the coin. Ren was thrilled to have earned his first bit of money as an adventurer, and he knew that he was one step closer to achieving his goals.

As they made their way back to the city, Ren couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
