Chapter 2:Leaving Home

The next morning Purple was packing up for his venture across the world, and his search for the murderer. The only clues were a set of tracks from a wagon in the dirt, leading out of the village and along a deserted path. Zap was going with Purple because, well..he felt he needed adventure. Purple's only weapon was his wooden sword, but Zap was a royal mage. So he figured they probably wouldn't land themselves in too much danger.

Purple sniffed the nice afternoon air before meeting Zap. "You ready?" "Always ready.." So Purple and Zap set off down the road, following the tracks.

After many boring hours of following, they came to a village where the tracks stopped. "Hmm.let's ask around." Purple walked over to a farmer who was busy plowing the ground. "Excuse me sir. Did you happen to see a wagon pull into here some time in the afternoon of yesterday?", Purple asked. "Well, I do remember a few from yesterday." "Can you tell me who came out of them?" "No one came out of the wagons except one. He..or she wore a mask though, and they wore a completely black outfit. I saw em walk down the village a few ways and purchase a horse. Then the person rode out along the Rocky Road.", replied the farmer. "Ok, thanks." "No problem!" Purple and Zap walked along until they spotted a shop. "Hmm..let's go check that shop out." "Yeah! Let's check it out!" replied Zap. They stepped into the shop to find a man at the desk. "Ah! Hello! Can I get you two anything? Shields? Weapons? Items?" Purple spotted a nice Copper Shield and asked how much it was for. "13 silver pieces!" Purple looked into his bag and counted 23 silver pieces and 2 gold pieces. He handed the man 13 silver pieces. The clerk went over and grabbed the last Copper Shield they had and gave it to Purple, "Anything else?" "Uhm.." Purple spotted a nice sword hanging from the wall with a sheath and everything. "How much is that?" Purple pointed to the sword while Zap was purchasing some fruits and vegetables for the two of them. "That costs 6 gold coins." Purple had only 10 silver pieces (=to 1 gold coin) and 2 gold coins.Zap noticed this and pitched in 7 more gold coins. "Thanks Zap.." Purple took the sword and sheath and attached it to his belt. "Thanks, come again!" said the clerk as they left.

Once they left the village they immediately started going along the Rocky Road. "look.you can see some horse tracks.." Zap pointed out. "Yeah but other horses might have come along this road too." "You're right.." after many long minutes of walking along the road they found something in the dirt. "Hey! What's that?" Purple crouched down and picked it up. "What is it?" Zap asked. "It's a dagger! And there are blood stains on it!" "Really?! Wow! We have a clue!" Purple stood back up and put it in his bag. "Let's keep on searching!" Purple and Zap continued walking, watching the ground for anything. Purple sighed, "Any luck?" "Nope, no luck at a-" Zap was cut short when suddenly, a praying mantis-like creature came out of nowhere and attacked them! "Agh! What the hell is that thing?!" Purple said as he and Zap jumped back. "It's a Tyron Beast!" replied Zap as he was ready to blast the thing with a spell. But it was way too quick for him. It jumped to the side of Zap and knocked him off his feet before he could even blink! Purple quickly unsheathed his new sword.
