rescue

the road was vacant to say the least, for what appeared to be miles we were the only ones in sight of anything really.

the journey we would have to take would last a day purely because traveling at night was a death sentence, since more often than not creatures would hunt those who moved, a sitting target would be more defended and these creatures wanted it to be easy.

working excessively for food when you're starting makes no sense whatsoever in nature. why go for something that will fight back in numbers while you're weak when you can pick off one or two fleeing ones that you're faster than anyway.

the swaying tree leaves, the rhythmic steps of Amira, and the overall quiet of the landscapes had started taking their toll, my eye struggling to stay open and me struggling to stay concious, if I had a head right now it'd be desperately flopping as I tried to stay awake.

I should've known it was a losing fight, it almost always is.

the gentle embrace of sleep had offered its hand to me and right now I was not about to say no.

hours later

clangs of swords and strikes upon shields tore me from my dreams, cries of pain and desperation rang out among the now near pitch black surroundings, it took a second for me to gain my bearings, my vision clearing and my mind racing.

glancing quickly I was able to find Amira, she had broken both daggers and looked beaten to hell, ripped bloody clothes and covered in newly forming bruises, the men fighting her were ogling her cleavage snd flat stimach that was now showing through the tatered shirt.

her usual flat and long dark brown hair was now matted with sweat and blood.

[wakey wakey]

*what's going on?!*

[BP: 20/25]

[if she dies you lose strength]

*what?*

[go save her]

i guess that was a pretty good incentive, launching myself forwards in a roll I made my way through battle debris, broken swords and armor, dead bodies, blood and broken teeth, I even managed to see an eyeball as I passed through.

once I was close enough I un balled myself and used my momentum to carry me into the torso of the closest attacker, slamming straight into him I knocked him away dazed, they looked like cliche movie bandits which I guess told Ms they were indeed bandits, whoever said don't judge a book by its cover had obviously never heard of why covers exist, to be judged.

I heard a shout and refocused, damn, I barely rolled out of the way before a sword had impacted where I once stood, carving a gouge in the earth in that spot.

"you idiot focus!"(Amira)

*(blood daggers x2)*

[BP:16/25]

blood flowed from two of my tentacles tips, forming elegant daggers that had 6 inch long blades and looked like red metal, not at all like actual liquid that it once was.

no longer taking time to study them I maneuvered through arrows easily as I made my way to their archer, he needed to go first.

I was behind him before he could react, covering the 10 or so feet between us nearly in the blink of an eye, these tentacles really did help me move fast.

his head rolled as I admired the blades sharpness, as I picked my next target.

a scrawny man with one dagger, he didn't even notice me sneak behind him using the treeline, his head rolled at my tentacles as well.

the only one left was a large hulking brute of a man, he looked like he could bench press a small mountain, 8 feet tall and wielding a greatsword that loved to the name of great, the thing was massive.

easily larger than an entire person the sword was, the man's speed with the weapon should've been impossible but as it was Amira was barely dodging the sword.

rushing to her aid I tried to pounce at the man but I was swatted away like a fly.

[killed 2 level 10 humans, level up x2 +10 to all stats]

I wasn't even sure if this would help.

I barely raised myself from the ground I had landed in, groaning the entire time as everything in my body hurt.

[BP:12/35]

[HP:10/35]

[STA:9/35]

I was in rough shape, I thought I was strong, I wasn't even close.

I could barely even look at Amira, my body just couldn't raise me that high, the dirt walls of where I impacted had made it nearly impossible for me.

by the time I finally managed to desperately crawl my way out of the hole the man was dead, and a very attractive woman stood on top of him, she was dressed in all black, but not decently, a near see through black robe covered black lingerie that made it seem like nudity was better, the Intricate lace patterns that covered her E cup boobs that nearly dwarfed Amira's D cups.

her face nearly hypnotized me with its beauty and her curves were driving me insane, something in me was shouting to breed the woman until it either killed me or someone forcefully stopped me, it took nearly everything I had left to resist that urge.

Amira looked happy to see the woman, maybe she knew her?

all I could do was collapse on myself, that one swat showed me truly how weak I was.

I need to be stronger, no I must get stronger.
