25 minutes later
I was following this path for 20 minutes or so.
It was a strange coincidence that I happened to find a path leading exactly where the zerg were. Another think I noticed about path was that it seemed to be used often , very often.
'Hmm….This is odd. 'I muter to myself as I hear sounds similar to the one of walking people.
I swear under my breath as I immediately (and easy) jump in a tree.
I remain there simply watching what is happening below me.
After a couple of minutes of me staring beneath bored , I see a group of 15 men with work tools and with clothing witch told me that they were peasants. They were walking slowly, seemingly tired, and they were singing a song I never heard before. This confirmed my worst fears, I was no longer in my word. Great , but at least they spoke in English(the song was in English).
Behind these people came tall women in armor.
She was the one that got my attention. She had psyhic powers, a think witch I didn't really expect to see that early.
'Hmm…something is not right with her powers. It is like they are being restricted somehow. '
I face palmed.
'Of course they were being restricted, primitive societies added mysticism and that kind of crappy symbolism to those with such powers. I don't know what kind of powers this woman possesses though…'
Her clothing confused me greatly. As far as I knew she should be wearing something like the mages at TV or in video games, but instead she was wearing a full knight armor with helmet as well, and her weapon was an sword.
I decided to follow them by jumping from tree to tree, trying to make no sound (a thing surprisingly easy).
Several minutes later…
'Shit!Crap!FUCK!...'I muter to myself annoyed.
I followed them ,and as it was expected they entered in a village, but the annoying thing was that the zerg were burrowed UNDERNEATH the village and if I wanted to get them I had to sneak in, "steal" the zerg and get ought , all that without being seen.
'Great...Just fucking great….'I muttered to myself.
The biggest problem to me was the fact that I knew shit about the village or, as a matter of fact about this world and its people.
Sometime later….
I decided the best thing was to keep my distance from the village, until I had a plan.
I was right now at an distance of 300 meters from the villages walls , climbed in a tree.
Since it was night, I closed my eyes and I decided to sleep.
I felt a sting in my right arm, and before I could react, I passed out.
When consciousness started returning to me, I felt like I was being dragged in a bag. I immediately opened my eyes, only to realize that I was wrapped in what seemed to be a spider web.
I raised my head to look at who ,or what was dragging me, and I was shocked to see (between my wrapping )the back of a giant spider.
'Great…'I mutter to myself as I start to think at how to escape from here.
I knew that if I struggle, the spider might realize that I am awake ,and might inject me with more of that blasted venom , thing which would only decrease my chances of survival.
Then I feel a quick stop. The spider turns around takes me in his" hands ". He turns around starts to climb in the tree.
The tree in which he climbs is the biggest I have ever seen.
I stare blindly at the spider , as my mind is slowly mixing together what is happening to me. I am paralyzed by a mix of emotions ,such as fear , curiosity and so on. The zerg mind is the one witch wakes me from this state and tells me what chance I have. I point my hand at the spiders head and I concentrate 100 en in one Kinetic Blast.
The spider's head explodes with a loud BANG. He lets go to me and we both fall.
I hit the ground hardly. I fell a wave of pain pass though me , but I push on , ignoring the pain ,as I cut the wrappings with my claws. I then realize that I am not supposed to have claws ,but I mentally answer myself as I cut the wrappings that I've grown them temporary with the energy cost of 10energy.
I take a deep breath as I cut the last of my wrappings ,and I get myself ought.
I raise on my legs hardly feeling pain in all my body. I start walking in the direction were the spider was coming from.
I walk slowly , as I keep my left hand around my ribs. I feel that I have broken several of them and other bones as well , but strangely I don't feel any pain. My body was converting my energy in some kind of drug. The cost was high because of my extended injuries. The sole reason I was consciousness was the drug produced using my energy.
"Dam it…" , I say weakly as I fell my last amounts of energy being consumed by my body.
I fall to the ground as I once again pass out.
Thank you very much for the support.
Don't worry, we will get to the zerg bits soon enough.
