I'm walking around the village of the Thunderhoof Village looking for something, then I looks sidesways and see The Gilded Mare, curious about place, I go to see what's inside. On the tavern, the cups are rising to the air, having a cheerfull aura on the place, the crowd are talking with a smile. Multiple races are present in the tables and they seem to be from far places..
Standing up in the entrace, people were passing through my side since I was blocking their way. I'm lost but i just got here by my curiosity, the weaknes of myself was born on my side, this weakness became to materilize into my friend.

Sarris had come to the village of Thunderhoof for reagents for her magic. She was surprised by how rustic the community was. People walked around in a mix of clothing. Some were barefooted like she was, others wore soft leather boots or shoes like moccasins. Many were dirty working the are raising horses or farming crops to feed the community. Everyone wore more clothing than Sarris did.
Sarris watched children playing, a rider trying to break a colt, and women shopping. She noticed a young man around the edges of the community. He tended to stay to himself and avoided eye contact. She watched how the young women did not seek his attention. He had something on his mind and he was going someplace. Sarris bought a beaded leather holder for her pony tail. It had a tradition design of a horse. She asked about the young man from the shopkeeper but did not get a helpful response. “Trouble,” he responded in a short reply.
He had gone into to the Gilded Mare, an establishment decorated with saddles, ropes, beadwork, and things one would want for dealing with horses.
“I wonder if someone would make a bow holder for my dragon’s saddle?” She said to herself.
So with that she headed in to see what she would fine. With her luck it was going to be a cowboy bar..

Rosen stood in the doorway. Undecided if he should enter or not. Turning he saw a redhead walking to the place, She was a half-elf. Something about her made him feel like he should move out of her way.
“I am sorry, miss,” I did not mean to block the door. Suddenly I bump into somebody's back and spill some beer in his clothes. An gigant guy stands up from the table and looks menacenly into my eyes, it seems that he is looking for a fight. Thinking for a solution, avoiding the situation was the only option it was in his mind, turning on to escape, the big guy grabs his shoulder and asks
"Pay uP thE CleaNing boi, like the last time.". Seems he is drunk.

A hooded figure dressed in rugged dark travelling clothes and a dull chainmail Haubergeon sitting at the bar drinking a local ale says "Hey big man, leave him alone". He does not even turn around, continuing to drink. He adds "Lets be honest your shirt was not exactly clean to start with and you stink so it cannot make your appearance any worse, in fact he might have just improved it"
The figure continues to drink calmly seemingly unconcerned of the outcome of his insult. You do notice he does wear a pair of hand axes at his waist and there is a knife in his boot.

The hooded figure tries to retire to his sit until somebody pokes his back, when he turned, the same boy appears and gives him some words.
"Sir, thank you very much for helping me but, you didn't have to do that, I don't want to bring you any trouble for my mistake." "This may be rude but I've never seen this place, could I take a sit with you and ask you, why did you help me and what are you doing here?
I was concerned about this mysterious man and who is he, knowing the risks, i tryed to take a step and try to know him better, he doesn't seem a bad person. Another thing is the man I bumped, It's enough to see that he's dangerous on his temperament and how he answered.
"You see, the man you speaked with wasn't seeming to be happy at all.. You should be carefull, he is known in the town and you should have eyes on him but don't worry about that, we'll do"
(1) [Summon: Minor Minion] (Silently, dark dust starts to matter into same point until it becomes a small fox) This is my friend, he will hide under his table waiting for the next move, if he notices something, he'll return to me.

Nathan pauses in his drink and turns to look at the young man. Now the young man sees the Nathan for the first time he can see he is a dark elf, a dark elf with oddly almost translucent looking skin like thick purple glass and is well built, having a warrior's lean but still muscled physique.
Nathan smiles at the young man and says "I am Nathanel Shishalee, please sit" he offers the seat at the bar next to him "What is your name? and the reason I helped you young man is because the man who spoke was a bully using his superior size to extort money, he did not deserve or earn it so why should he have it. My father always said 'If you see something wrong Nathan my boy, never stand by, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing'"
While having the conversation Nathan occasionally looks around but always he has the big man and his table in his peripheral vision making sure if he kicks off Nathan will see it coming.
"Would you like a drink?" offers Nathan hoping that this young man could perhaps tell him more of the area.

The boy stood again, undecided where to start, if start taking the seat or answering his question. Suddenly the half-elf appears, and impressed she ask them if they mind letting her join to the conversation. She takes a seat on the table, meanwhile I sit next to them, my friend is still watching any danger signs from that men. When everyone got their seats, they present themselves, starting with the boy.
"Nice to meet you Mr.Shishalee, my name is Ronsen and welcome to the Thunderhoof village, It's a small village where nomads come to commerce with the different shops this village can offer. You two came from travelling from a far, I don't want to sound rude but I'd love to know your story, you've protected me and stood up against the risks without even knowing me. To resume my question, you two are adventurers right? I've been raised in these walls since I was a little kid, never had a chance to see what's in the other side and that's why I'd love to hear more about If you don't mind. And for Mr.Shishalee, I don't know how I could repay my debt. Right now you're in The Gilded Mare, the most popular tavern from the village but now that I'm thinking it , what are two half-elfs doing here? "I talked too much sorry, I don't drink anything I'm underage" (says with a small smile)
Just in the moment I ended the phrase, i somehow hear a clenching of teeth from the distance. Carefully, I slowly turn my sight into the man's table, he was leering at me!

Nathan seeing the big man leering at the Ronsen and nods at the big man and places both of his axes on the table in front him a clear indication to the big man that he is ready for trouble and is not afraid to get bloody to solve the situation.
Nathan says pointing at his axes "Do not worry, hopefully this overt display of will prevent any repercussions, well at least currently." He continues "I have never been here before so I am looking to explore the area"
The Half elf says "I am Sarris, it is nice to meet you" and “I looking around for a weapon holder for a rather exotic saddle?”
Nathan looks confused and asks "Too young to drink? ah of course where are your parents?"

“I can handle this,” Sarris said smiling looking at the men still upset. Sliding from the stool she walked slinking like a cat towards them. As she approached the table she said in a polite tone, “Leave the boy alone, you would not like me getting upset with you.” As the aggressor started to mouth off Sarris let her form change into one of the large white bears from the northern plains. The growl she gave was clearly one of a Momma Bear. This caused the place to go quiet for a few moments as she brought a paw with three in claws up to make a swat then let the shape change drop returning to her normal form. She tossed a couple coins on the table for them to order another round then returned to the table.
She smiled to her table mates as she returned. “That should buy us time till people are really drunk,” she said. Someone would always try to start a fight to show they were the best. It was not much better than getting hit on,

As the silence began to dissapear, everyone ignored tha fact, as in the other hand, I was processing what just happened. I was amazed and asking what the hellf was that.
In the table, I lean my arms in the table and express surprised and as my face amazed.
"What was that and what did you do!? or maybe what are you??
The man Sarris keep quiet, took the coins but didn't order anything else. On his table, the man nods to his group, they being kept silency menacing. They seem to understand and not take a false step, then one man leaves.
After my quote, I tryed to calm down and stop the rudeness as I cough to clear my throat.
"I apologize, didn't mean to be so directly, but this really isn't something that you see everyday, who are you, and what is the motive of your presence in this town? I sure do many questions but as I said this isn't what you see everyday, I'm sorry for my rudeness and having you solve my own problems. This is something I should do myself and not carried by strangers. I want to know more, you seem from afar, why are you here and how is the world outside..? "

Nathan looks at Sarris amazed, he moves in conspiratorially towards her and asks "Are you one of those wizard types" Nathan looks impressed and then asks "What is the largest creature you can turn into, a bear is pretty big, could you be a dragon?
Nathan turns to Ronsen and explains "I have come here to explore the area. I have never been to the marshlands before and with my wings I can cover great distances quite quickly. I was born in the Crescent isle and the only large expanses we had was forests. What about you, how long have you resided here?"
Nathan drums his fingers on the flat blade of the axes, looking over at the table opposite with the big man on it. Nathan is shocked that the big man is still pushing his luck, thinking 'Do they have a death wish, between the Wizard and I we could cut them to pieces, they are obviously sending for help and this big man is not easily intimidated so they are obviously not just local bravo'. Nathan looks around the room making sure that we are not being approached stealthy from our blind side. He nods to the big man with an unpleasant smile.

As Sarris sat back down.
"I am just a girl that has dealt with a lot of bullies in my time," she said to Ronsen. The just was a little bit of a stretch.
When Nathan asked if she was a wizard her reply was also simple, "Most wizards have their nose stuck in books."
Both of them gave her a look that meant she was going to have to explain things a bit more.
She waved to the waitress for food for them.
"It is kind of hard to explain. I am a Fae touched Elf of the Winter Court," she explained. "Like most elves I have some magical abilities, but my magic is not really from formulas and books. But it allows me to change into animals and do some other things, " she added.
Bowls of stew was placed on the table before them and Sarris handed over some coins to pay.
"I did not solve your problem," she said the Ronsen. "Far from it!" she said as the man came back in.
"But, I could," she added taking a bite of the stew.
"I was told they do good saddle work and I have a dragon," She said loud enough to be heard. "I need a bow holder because..." she said then decided against explaining that wearing a bow as a women can get quite painful. "Well, I need something to carry my bow when I am on my dragon."
"But, I would like to make you an offer," She said to Ronsen. "I know of a place that would give you a chance to see the world and help you learn," She said. "And they are always looking for people with fighting abilities too," she said indicating she was extending an invitation to Nathan too. She ate a bit more. "The Place is called the Grey Citadel and they train knights. They also have a group called the Vanguard that hunt evil magic users," she said tearing off a chunk of bread.
She looked at the two of them as she wiped the bowl clean and said, "Sorry, changing into an animal gives me a lot of hunger."
"We have food and shelter. We are trying to make the place self-sufficient so we need people with skills and want to learn," she explained.
A handful of men walked in looking like they had something to prove. "Well, it is about that time," Sarris said look at the two of them smiling.
In half mocking tone, she asked, "So if we win do we get to keep them?" She could always use sailors and a couple leatherworkers would be perfect for back home. "Outside?" she asked Nathan and Ronsen.

The boy heard properly to every detail that was imposed. As they answers were flowing, the expression of the boy was filled with joy and fascination. He couldn't let escape a smile as the moments were going and bowls being cleaned.
After hearing Sarris' needs, I realize how I could help.
"Ms.Sarris! Maybe I can be usefull for you, I know a place where maybe you could find what you're seeking for." "Mr. Shishalee, most of my life were spent on this town, I don't explore too much but I explored enough to know some places, for Sarris' saddle there's the best tanner in town, perfect to resist scratches and long trips for the skin quality. In the town there's a smith I know and he maybe could help you on your bow problem. This is the least I could offer."
After the bowls were cleaned the boy adds stranged. "It's amazing how Incredible abilities pay curious prices"
Moments later, the boy gives a gasp of incredibility on hearing what was taking in place, Sarris offered to the boy something he wasn't expecting anything in the world, a river of light.
His response was interrupted as the handful of men were approaching and the tension was climbing.
"Sarris, this is something i must think properly but let's take this conversation to another moment." I respond "Outside it is."
On the field, an armed group were waiting on the corner peeking with menace. Seemed to know magic, seemed to have knifes, but something was weird in the aura.
As I walk outside I stand up and paralyze on the question. "¿What do I do...?"

Nathan follows Ronsen and Sarris outside keen to put an end this so he may continue his exploration. When he sees what is happening he sees that there is no limit to people's ego and stupidity and thinks 'they would bring a mob because someone spilt a drink one of them, this is lunacy'
Nathan prepares himself mentally for the fight to come, looking at each these thugs individually and as group. The armour they wear, the weapons they carry, if they talk in a group or stand as an individual. Noting the ring leaders and those that will flee after a few have been taken down. Those who walk with a measure step of a warrior and those swagger around like a common criminal.
As he does this prepares for the fight physically, calming himself down, taking deep breaths, slowing his heartbeat. He draws his axes and tightens and relaxes his grip on them to help to loosen up his muscles.
Nathan says to you Ronsen and Sarris "Well if this is what they want, then this I shall give it to them" he shakes his head and says "Though I am not sure why they would want it". His spins his axes to loosen up his wrists.

Sarris looked at the two of them when they make it outside.
"Well, Ronsen it is fairly simple. Try to hurt them and do not get hurt," She said in a soothing maternal tone.
To Nathaniel she said loud enough for the crowd to hear, "I think it comes with some of the body parts they enjoy too much."
Looking at the two of them she asked, "They do know I am bringing a dragon into the fight, right? He breaths fire, I think they should know that if they did not listen the first time. I really do not wish to burn part of the town down," she said.
Sarris started to think strategically. She would not be able to change forms till the fight was underway. That meant she could make it snow or bring an earth elemental into play.
