(at the castle, throne room)
It has been a long time since that incident. Due to the world serpent's engulping the castle, I never got to seize the throne. I, the priest of the cruel king, studied the art of the death and survived in my slumber. The undead priest dictates surrounded by his minions.
As long as I have a living dragons blood, I can make as many knights and chimera as toys. I seek domination from the surface of this land!, the undead priest used more of the blood to chant more minions to position themselves for the humans.
(back at Ryu current situation)
Ryu is bring surrounded by the knights protecting the vice general ofsorts.
I didnt mean any harm, Ryu said. I just want that robe. Ryu pointing at the vice commander.
How vulgar you are, thinking of something perversive for the vice commander's belongings, the captain as he draws his sword together with the rest.
Ryu got no choice but to flee when an earthquake shaken the town. As the shaking lessens, the captain charges in to the side and Ryu hardened his kerchief blocking the attack. Ryu ,then, change with a half kerchief wing and covered the area with dust. He escaped with the lack of vision.
*cough *cough. Seize hi-, the captain ordered when the vice commander interrupted him that they are gonna be late. The vc noticed the change of the kerchief at Ryu's arm enough to deflect the captain's strike.
(at the alley where Ryu was hiding)
Damn, damn, what a busy day. Since I can't get the robe so the kerchief can absorb it, I have no other option but to fight my way through it. Ryu said to himself while focusing on a plan.
While he was thinking intensively, two people noticed Ryu and considered themselves as high thieves on their turf. They demand to hand over his gold and possessions. Ryu ignored them by not hearing anyone from thinking intensively. One of the theives noticed his kerchief and recalled the rumored kerchief adventurer who struggle I while back. He insulted him as they approached with their knives.
Ryu suddenly turned to them with a menacing face and aura. As he brought out sharp tentacles at his back. The thieves got to their ground for fear of the rumored monster with a large bounty.
High bounty?, Ryu asked. The fearing thief explained after the raid last time. There will be another raid with some guest. Among the news is capturing the tentacle monster at the town's area lately.
Wow, once a weakling turned into a monster for bounty, what a legacy for my children, Ryu thought. He noticed the robe of one of my thieves' belonging and asked for it. They confessed that they were the ones who took the fire resistant robe. Ryu demanded the robe in exchange for their lives. The thief doubted it, then one of the sharp tentacles aim at his head. He gave the robe and both ran of.
