Grabbing her weapon, Zyta jogged out of the building to get a better look, the fire, had become fires as several buildings were now caught in the chaos. The cause was further back, partly hidden by the black smoke, but a hulking silhouette was still visible, even through the heat and ash. The villagers were watching, terrified, some were crying, others were praying, but none seemed to be trying to leave or fight. Shaking her head, Zyta made up her mind, they had allowed her to stay for the night, even though she could have bought trouble to the village, she should at least try to help them in return.

The fences and walls provided little hindrance for her as she ran towards the flames, now the silhouette was moving through the flames and she could make out it was holding a giant axe.

"Pathetic Worms!" it growled as it emerged from the fire.

Zyta could only describe it as a golem, with a taste for killing, judging by the carnage it had caused.

She knew she would have to fight, so she braced herself for the worst.

Thinking back to the beach, and how she had used her weapon, Zyta thought of a way to beat the monster, yes it looked strong, but it was also slow.

Her Kimono fluttered around as she jumped into the air and landed behind the creature, bringing one end of the blade down, creating a gouge in its back.

She was startled to see the wound did not bleed, and it was a deep wound.

"Do you want to die that badly?" it roared.

"No thanks, but since you're the one that's gonna be dying, the question is irrelevant." Zyta replied before slashing at the monsters legs. It had managed to turn round and bring it's axe up, but Zyta was too fast, she dodged the axe and kicked at the creature, sending it back into the flames.

"What are you?" she asked

"GRRRAAAHHHH" it roared as it reared up again

"Never mind." She said, dodging another attack. She jumped towards it, only to feel the axe smash into her from below, catapulting her to the other side of the field.

"Know your place scum." She heard it come towards her and she shut her eyes, letting the blackness take over. Before her senses were gone, she heard the creature roar again: "WHAT. . . YOU! . . . DIE!"

Zyta groaned as she woke up

"What happened, where am I?" she looked around, everything in the room was wooden, and there was a sound of water lapping onto a surface. The distinct smell of salt water, seaweed and fish revealed she was by the sea, or on it. It was then she noticed the bandages all over her body.

Sitting up she looked around the room, a chair propped up her weapon, and there was also a barrel table, with an unlit candle. The main sources of light were oil lamps hung round the room.

"I guess someone saved me, but who, and why?" she looked towards the door, and heard footsteps coming closer.
