The Beginning
The forest stretched for miles on end. The only way to cross this huge forest is to travel via a narrow path where only one horse cart can pass through at a time. On this narrow path, a horse drawn carriage is passing.
It is neither a luxury carriage nor a well-kept one. The highest rating it can get is a goods carrying one, but this time inside the carriage instead of goods, it is carrying five humans. Four males and one female.
"Until how much time should we continue this path?" shouted a red-bearded guy, frustration evident in his tone. "Come on, Seth, don't act childish. You have been repeating the same thing for the past 2 hours, and you already know this path takes 6 hours to travel," replied another male who is sharpening his sword.
Raider, who has been silent the whole time, heard James words and said, "It's true seth you know we just started the journey 2 hrs ago and this is the 5th time you are asking the same question; relatively speaking, we need another 4 hrs to cross this forest." Listening to Raider, Seth responded, "I know, but this cottage is so uncomfortable, and the road also has so many bumps, which is not helping."
Listening to Seth, both James and Raider, seeing his form, agreed with his reasoning.Well, they agreed because, true to Seth's words, the carriage is pretty uncomfortable, and with constant bumps, the journey is also not smooth. And also, looking at Seth, they can understand where he is coming from.
Seth is a big guy who is nearly 6.6 feet tall with a massive body and huge muscles. He has a protruding stomach, but in no way is it a problem for him.Just from his stature, he looks like a thor from medieval times, but instead of a hammer, this guy has a huge axe hanging from his back. James is a lean guy with a slightly handsome face wearing purple clothes, and he is the one sharpening his sword. He uses a double-edged sword and is a good swordsman who takes care of the offense for the team.
Raider is a guy who is covered from head to toe with black clothes and has two short swords as his weapon. He is what we can call the assassin of the team, and he is also the scout of the team. Listening to these three talk, the only girl on the team responded,
"We can take a break in an hour when we reach halfway along the forest." This girl is Mia; she has a bow around her and is considered the long-range fighter of the team, and she is also a mage.After saying that, she turned towards the only person who hadn't spoken even once during the whole journey.
"Captain, what do you think?" asked Mia, looking at Arthur, who is also the captain of their group and also the strongest among them.
Arthur has a handsome face with blue hair, and his golden eyes are shining like fireflies in the darkness. He is wearing a black long coat, and he uses a slaughter sword as his main weapon. It has a huge blade that nearly covers half his body if he keeps it in front of him, and the weight of that sword is enormous, but this guy just uses a single hand to control it.
He is a tall guy with a height of 6 feet 2 inches and is also extremely muscular because of his work. He looks like a knight in medieval times, but if we observe carefully, we can see he has a hand missing.Even though he does not have a left hand, no one will dare underestimate him because he is still a formidable fighter who has earned the nickname "one-hand devil" because of his prowess.
Even though all the others have been talking, he himself has not said a word throughout the whole journey. Hearing Mia, he just gave a slight nod of approval, silently closed his eyes, and sat there as if nothing around concerned him.
