Kari's Story- Part 1

It was a peaceful day in Altin. The mining was going well, and the usual prosperity filled the town. The townspeople went along their daily work, no problems at all.

At least until an accident in the mines.



Kari, a girl of 16 years old, went into the mines. She had long purple hair tied into a ponytail and eyes, and was wearing a cotton shirt, skirt, vest, and boots made in the town. She came into the area to see what happened, what the noise she heard was, and if anyone was hurt.

As she entered the lowest cavern, she heard another noise like the first one, what sounded like a rock slide. She was startled, but wasn't very frightened, since her father taught her some of the finer points of mining when she was a kid.

Kari went further into the mine, hearing an occasional rumbling of falling stones. She didn't come across much trouble, until a little later she saw a hole in the ground. She was lucky that she did see it, otherwise she would have fallen down it, and from what she saw, she could have died.

The girl peered over the dark hole, just as a nerve-rending roar escaped the horrid maw that made up the hole. She jumped back, breathing very hard, and sweating heavily from nervousness. She knew that the problems must have come from here, but she had never encountered monsters in this area, or really anywhere.

She knew that she had to do something.

Kari went to the railing. Luckily, it formed a sort of ladder down into the hole. She climbed down the railing, and saw an unusually clear area past where she was. What was even more startling was what seemed to be a brightly lit room at the end of that area. And at that room, she saw a person, lying on the ground, from what seemed to be a wound.

Kari ran to the other side, and into the room. She was about to aid the person, before she saw a huge monster coming towards her, and her friend that was lying on the ground.

"Lyle!" Kari said, "What happened?"

"Kari." Lyle struggled to say, "Get out of here. Save yourself."

She refused his request, trying to stop the monster from getting any closer. She ran up, taking Lyle's pick, and tried to fight the horrible creature, with no success.

The creature, a Wight, slashed Kari's stomach with its bony claws, leaving a deep gash, and ripping the lower half of her vest clear away, leaving only the torn, and bloody shirt, and knocking the pick to the floor.

Kari fell back, pushing her arm into the wound as hard as she could. This thing was much stronger than it looked. And as it came closer to her, she felt an awkward power flow through her. She had experienced this before, whenever she had a cold, she would always be cured of it, with no explainable cause of her ailment's removal.

She removed her arm from her stomach, to see that the wound was no longer there. This surprised her so much, she forgot about the Wight in front of her. She regretted doing so, when it tore through her vest again and again, leaving cuts and gashes all over her chest and back.

It was a miracle that she was alive, and that the shirt even existed after the onslaught of blows. Yet she felt that her power was weakening, whatever power she had. If she wanted to destroy this thing before meeting her fate, and letting the man get killed, she would have to stop it, and she would have to do it fast.

She focused her power as hard as she could, and let it out, releasing a grand explosion that shattered the beast. Lyle got up at this, although hurt, and staggered over to Kari, amazed that she did that.

"Kari!" he shouted, "How in the hell did you do that?"

"I don't know, Lyle." she responded. Then she fell over, and went unconscious.



Kari woke up. She didn't recognize where she was, since she was too concerned in her wounds. She had on her skirt, but instead of her vest and shirt, there was a series of bandage from her navel to just under her collarbone, that had the occasional red stain from her blood.

She didn't think that she would need the bandages anymore, since she felt the unexplainable power course through her veins, healing her wounds. Feeling better than ever, Kari took off the bandages, and looked for something to cover her half-naked body before someone saw her.

Unfortunately though, Lyle just happened to walk into the room before Kari could reach a good shirt to wear.

They both just stood there, staring at each other. After a minute, Kari remembered that she didn't have a shirt on, and Lyle was staring at her chest, with his mouth hanging open and his eyes looking like they would come out of his skull at any moment.

Kari blushed heavily, covered herself, and screamed the loudest scream she could.

Somehow, every other resident in that town heard that scream, and looked toward the house from which it came.

Lyle, being only a few feet away, was nearly deafened by Kari's shrill shriek of fright.

"SAITEI!" Kari screamed at Lyle, trying to get him out.

"Kari!" Lyle tried to reason, "I'm sorry! I didn't know you were half- naked!"

"GET OUT OF HERE, YOU PERVERT!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Lyle ran out, and slammed the door behind him, so as not to let Kari leave an imprint of her fist on his face. But, he was kind of glad to get a glimpse of Kari's body, being a slight pervert, as Kari knew. It was just one of the many happy times he had, and one of Kari's worst.

And Lyle was feeling very pleased of himself, at least until Kari came out with a shirt on, and gave him the beating like no one had ever seen.

The master healer seemed very surprised to see that a man could be crumpled into that position in the first place.



Well, that's it. Yeah, I know that it's a short chapter, but with my sophomore year starting, and with the difficulty of developing some other characters, it could take a while for me to get more chapters up. Gomen Nasai to anyone I may have offended or disappointed by this chapter. Thank you very much for reading. R&R! ^_^
