Quest

When Kally woke up, she was, at first, startled to find herself in the healers' wing, but she soon remembered the giant spidrens. A healer helped her sit up and gave her some tea and some soup.
On a bed next to her, Murray lay motionless and he wasn't breathing. There was a huge gash on his head. He was dead. She felt tears coming, she hadn't really known him, but she was sad that he was dead. A giant spidren was no way to die.
A few hours later Kylaia and Shane came in to tell her about her quest.
" Are you feeling better?" Kylaia asked. When Kally nodded, she continued, " Good. You did very well, you killed the most spidrens even though you were younger than all the others."
" yes," Shane said, " You did very well. So well in fact, that we are considering on giving you a title even more legendary than my own."
" Better than the dragon?" she asked, " I thought nothing was better than the dragon."
" The rank of the Tigress," Kylaia answered, " A tigress is a cunning and highly dangerous creature. In Shang it is a feminine rank equivalent and sometimes better than the Dragon. Many have forgotten about it, in all the history of shang, there have only been 3 to hold that rank. The last one died with the last century."
" In order to obtain the rank," Shane continued, " You must go to the legendary Tiger Mountain in Galla and ask permission to hold the rank from the Queen of Tigers. It is a treacherous journey and if you fail, they will kill you. Do you accept?"
" Yes."
" Then take this amulet, no beast will kill you on your way there. And it will be proof that you have fullfiled your quest when you are done, do NOT, under any circumstance, let this out of your sight."
" Good luck Kally." Kylaia said as she and Shane left, leaving Kally to wonde about what she had gotten herself into.
