PART 3
FIRE BALL! "One less rabbit ruin the world!!" Eirika yelled. It had been about three days since she had started helping the city of Anvilmar, and the denizens of Anvilmar had been more than happy to help Eirika, if she helped them first. Now she was on her way to Ironforge, to pickup her first assignment, and along the way she was picking all the flowers she could. "Why not be happy?" she thought to herself, "I'm finally going to find the only person in the world who loves me!" So she started to skip down the road singing. When suddenly she saw a huge, black cow, with a white face, a ring in its nose, and standing on its hind legs running across the road!! Being chased by an even bigger rock giant. Suddenly, Eirika felt even smaller by comparison to anyone else in this vast world.
Then she saw him, the biggest…well if she had to name it she would call it a devil I suppose, she had ever seen. It had horns growing out of its head, and its hair was black. It had spikes growing out of its shoulders, and it was on a fiery horse with spikes growing out of its flanks as well it also had a scythe on its back that was glowing red.
Now you must consider, Anvilmar is very secluded, and she had never seen any other life form bigger than a gnome or dwarf, except the trolls whom plague Anvilmar with their never-ending chanting.
Eirika yelled, after it took one swipe and killed the strange Cow. Thinking it would come after her next; she turned and started to run. But it caught her by the back of her robe and picked her up to look into her face, "don't I know you from somewhere?" it said. "Please don't kill me!" she said. In that instance, when what he had said registered, she suddenly saw a crowd of people, all cheering.
"Hello? Anybody in there?" She was suddenly pulled back to the present. it, or "he" as the being was a he, was friendly (Eirika reasoned this because he didn't cut her up with his over sized sythe). He had taken off his horns, his spikes, and his various other pieces of armor that mad him look like a devil, had replaced them with more normal looking armour. He had also summoned an imp in place of his inferno, so as to put Eirika more at ease with him and his minion.
"Who are you?" Eirika asked, after he had made a fire and cooked some hamburgers, "I am Asha'man, officer of The Knights of Davion. We seek out horde that are causing disturbances in the world and exterminate them." "So you aren't the only one of your kind?" Eirika asked, "oh no! The Knights of Davion are rather small, but we take only the best." He said, "And I can see that you are traveling alone, that is very unsafe, all the monsters in this area have become very hostile over the past few days. Let me accompany you to the great city of Ironforge, and beyond if it happens our paths go the same way." He said, knowing that he missed what she had meant by the question she decided to continue and forget it, "that's very thoughtful of you, but I'd assume just go it alone, that's the way it's always been for me, and that's the way it always will be." She said, "Alright, but let me leave you with this card, it is enchanted, it holds the name of everyone in The Knights of Davion, and they will help you if you only ask, and if you prove yourself you may become a part of the Knights of Davion as well. Good-bye" he said. "Good-bye!" she said as she was waving farewell.
Farther down the road Asha'man contacted the Guild Master, Slider.
"I think I've found her. She certainly seems like she has lost her memory, she wasn't like this before."
"Excellent, and did you extend your protection?"
"I did, but she didn't accept it, she said she would rather go at it alone, but I think she can take care of herself for the time being."
"Good, but hurry back here, I need you here, we have new information that I dare not say unless you are here."
"Alright"
"I'll send Que to watch over her."
"alright, but he better not botch this one up, I don't want her to get hurt."
