Weston Teaser -Part 3, The adventures growth
It's been long hours, days.. even weeks, training my skills, sharpening my techniques, preparing for the beasts I might encounter.
I am ready, and I am strong. I am anxious to get back to exploring the outer Weston.
I left on an early morning, I planned to check out those dragons again,
but it would be a waste of time and resources if I went back the same way I ran home.
I took a detour, going eastwards, to make sure to explore everything I could on my way to the dragons!
Not a chance, I'll miss out on a beautiful place by being in a hurry.
Shortly after my departure, with the sun rising in the far east, I came across a land that would seem to belong to orcs.
I found a hill that caught my eye, and it was as beautiful as simple.
I found stair and decided it could be a fun opportunity to explore what's down there.
As I was exploring, I realized that the deeper I got, the more dangerous it became.
Lucky me, I am faster and stronger than ever before. An orc, true berserk, tried to ax me with a long ax.
Thank god I caught the ax with my hand, leaving his body entirely open for a counterattack.
As I went deeper, more and stronger orcs tried to get me, without success.
I was shocked to find such beautiful places, and I did not expect a.. hole.. filled with orcs.. to have anything beautiful in it.
I stand corrected. It was an amazing experience exploring this cave, even though it smelled a bit like rubbish for the most part.
I decided to leave the orc's and continue to explore elsewhere, and I felt the time was running away a bit too much for one place.
So I started moving towards the dragons, and thanks to my detour, I was sure to arrive there by paths I had not yet seen.
It didn't take long until I came across a dead land filled with dead trees.
I thought it was spooky at first, but then I thought to myself, what's the worst that could happen?
Soon after, I encountered undeads.. skeletons.
I got curious, why is this land partly dead? why do undead creatures inhabit it?
I found some weird structures, some weird stones that were everything but natural.
I'm wondering, can there be a more profound secret resting here?
I found a tiny house, hall.. hehe, I'm not sure how to describe it, a mountain hill shaped into a house.
Anyway, it was a bit too complex for ghouls and skeletons to create, so I wanted to figure out what more this place is.
As I explored their deeper halls, I came across some ruins.
My mind started to go crazy, not a chance some ghouls and skeletons built this.
Something else must be hidden here, something ancient.
To my surprise, I discovered an underground castle filled with undead creatures.
And to be honest, I got a bit scared. I got a look at a necromancer,
a master of death, the one who can summon spirits from their graves.
I enjoy spooky things just as much as the next person but seeing a master of death,
and you find you'll have a hard time standing straight.
And the chills on your back, up to your neck.. I might not be in imminent danger,
but to be honest.. I ran out as quickly as I could.
I left the undead's land and continued on my hike, and it hit me.. the cyclopses!
I wanted to know what they hid. The last time I saw them, I was weak and ran for my life.
It's time to face those giants, see how far I can go, see what they're hiding.
I went there as fast as I could, I knew where they were located, I recognized the hills near them.
And sure as daylight, I found them, and I immediately went down to explore what they might hide.
As you can imagine, cyclopses are big, they're strong, but they're not very fast.
With my training, new skills, and speed, I could easily dodge them and strike them down one by one.
After a while of exploring, going deeper and deeper, I came across a relatively large area filled with even stronger cyclopses.
They were equipped with strong armors and large hammers, but I was happy to discover I could easily dodge them too.
As I went further into their place, I realized.. there's more than cyclopses here.
There are even bigger giants living down here. They were strong and incredibly fast.
One caught up with me and hit me in my chest. For a moment, I lost my breath.
I changed my path and started running back from where I came from, and I don't want to be hit like that again!
Horrible enough, one of those bastards threw a rock in my back, and it hurt more than I can describe.
My back hurt immensely, but no wonder.. it felt like I was hit by Mount Sternum.
I then continued towards the dragons, and I knew they were close.
After following the very same path there, I've been running in panic some time before,
and I arrived at the place where I first saw the dragons.
Fearlessly, I went in, and I spotted a dragon which came after me.
It spewed fire, but I dodged it just fine. Finally, after much fighting, scratching, and flaming, I took the dragon down!
It's true what they say. Your first dragon is a unique experience, a special moment, one that you will never forget.
And I doubt I ever will forget this moment.
I continued to explore the dragons' place and found they didn't only have high hills, but there were caves.
I went down to explore and see what the caves might have to offer.
As I was fighting my way through the cave, getting deeper and deeper, I came across these giant and red dragons.
They were dragon lords, I fought one, and I killed one.
It was more aggressive than a typical dragon, but I was very good at dodging the flames it spews out surprisingly often.
It was a good fight, and it's clear to me, I am much stronger now. I can explore much more than ever before.
But even though that, I had one weakness against dragon lords.. my feet.
They're burning, dragon lords aren't only trying to cook you. They put entire areas into flames.
I returned to Weston, for rest and recovery to fuel up for the next adventure.
And I'm very determined. I will explore more places, and maybe I will find more dangerous places!
I don't mind. I want to know what I'm capable of. I want to see what strong beasts are out there.
However.. I don't want to face those damn giants again, throwing rocks at you.
I'd rather have my feet burned off than get another Mount Sternum thrown at me again.
