Fate of a Swordsman

Chapter 3 - The road to Britian

He road untill morning to stop and eat, he wanted to be as far away from Yew as possible.

I must racien my food, there are no towns on the way to Britian said scott

While Scott was eating his breakfast, he heard loud cries for help on the road ahead.

What was that.

I better go check that out.

Scott traveled up the road a bit to find a man dead on the ground, his guts had been clawed out, his eyes pecked and one of his hands was missing.

I think im going to be sick said Scott in discust

In the hand remaining, Scott noticed a katana.

A katana, hmm this could prove usefull, if this man ran into this kind of luck I need the katana.

That being said Scott took it.

Scott heard a wierd bird like noise.

Scott went to investigate. 5 minutes later he hears a horses cry

What was that, AH the horses

Scott ran back to the horses only to find them slaughtered and the carage destroyed.

Oh no, said Scott.

Scott ran over to the carrage, started taking whatever food was left and edible when he heard a wierd bird noise.

Scott looked behind him and saw a very odd looking creature, it was half bird, half woment.

It had claws that were razor shard and it had beak too.

Oh no, nice birdy.

Slowly walk away said Scott to himself, Slowly walk away.

The birdwomen like creature charged towards Scott and started attacking him, the birdwomen cut Scotts arm, then all of a sudden an arrow went flying into a tree, it was intended to hit the birdwomen, the birdwomen continued to claw Scott, his arm was covered in blood, another arrow flew and hit the birdwomen right in the head, a clear shot.

The birdwomen fell down on the ground, im pretty sure its dead Scott said to himself.

But who killed it said Scott still talking to himself.

I did said a deed voice. Suddenly a man clad in a strange green armor, wielding a bow came out of the wood right beside the road. He was a tall man, with long grey hair and a long grey beard.

Let me see your arm boy.

Scott walked over and showed the man his arm.

Who are you said Scott?

My friends call me Gunner.

I can see why.

Hold still said Gunner.

Gunner started to wrap Scotts arm in bandaids. Gunners healing ability was quite adept.

There ya go lad. Whats a boy like you doing travelling the roads out here?

I am on my way to Britian. I am going to train how to be a warrior.

A warrior eh? said gunner with a smirk on his face, well for starters, try not to drop your sword when you get clawed.

Oh said Scott blushing not realizing he had done so.

I will escort your to britian lad, tis 3 days down the road and there are more dangerous things than harpys out here.

Whats a harpy said Scott?

The birdwomen that just attacked you.

Oh said Scott.

For a day they travelled without incident. They ran into a farmers field on the way so they helped themselves to some carrots and took some with them.

Then on the second day when Scott and Gunner had been travelling they ran into an odd creature. It was undead, it was a human body without a head.

Perfect said Gunner a headless one.

Scott I want you to attack it.

Attack it said scott in confused matter.

Yes said Gunner you need practice.

Scott walked over to the headless one and started to butcher the dead body. Then all of a sudden it hit Scott in the jaw.

Ouch said Scott

Keep attacking said Gunner.

Scott then cut of the arms and legs of the headless on and headed back to Gunner.

Good job lad said Gunner, now lets be on our way.

Amazingly they made it to Britian without any other incident.

Here ya are lad said Gunner.

Thank you sir Scott said while looking ahead at the city.

He did not hear Gunner. When he looked back, Gunner was gone.
