An adventurer never stops venturing! That said, it was time to move on to another town. We marched together with the barbarians and monks who coincidentally were heading north as well. Before leaving Jolton, Uralis told us the tale of our monk here, Kim, about his early days at the monastery. It made me pondered on the question again. Who are we? Are we perhaps, time travelers?
We split ways with the barbarians and monks at certain point and continue traveling again. It was a plain walk until we heard the scream of humans accompanied by a giant bird. We saw 3 travelers running toward us, with a giant bird on their tail. I couldn't bare the thought of an innocent person being killed and dashed toward the giant bird as quickly as I can. But the giant bird killed 1 of the traveler before I reach it. I tried to confront the giant bird alone while waiting for my team mates...
The dead traveler was called Harry. Harry and his friends followed us to Giant's Blade and they buried Harry there. Disturbed by the thought of my inability to save someone, I feel that I'm not strong enough... After that tragic event, we rested at the inn there before moving on.
The next morning, we continued our journey towards Ossington. The road to Ossington is quiet and empty. There wasn't any animals along the road. At midday, we encountered several peasants being beheaded by a horseman. Kim tried to catch him but the horseman slipped past him like a ghost going through the wall. Triggered by our curiosity, we jumped off our horses and investigate what happened. Faeron talked to a donkey of the dead peasants but found out nothing...
We continue moving north and reached a farmstead belonged to Tarbee and his daughter Tanasha. Tarbee doesn't like it when we mentioned the horseman. Whenever Tanasha tries to explain to us he'll tell us to mind our own business. She suggested us to meet Elder Murdows at Ossington as could shed some light on this horseman that we were talking about. We stayed there for a night before moving on.
The next day we reached a chapel. A woman was inside the chapel and she was praying to the 9 Elder Gods of Dekkara. She doesn't speak much other than topics related to Gods. We left the chapel and continue towards Ossington.
Upon entering Ossington, the villagers crowded around us and begged for food. By us I actually mean everyone except me and Quanta. Why did they exclude me and Quanta?... And what happened to Ossington. Were it always like that?
