Mysterious Wonder
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" You ask, almost too loudly for it causes you to fall backwards and pant hard.
"Who's there?" Comes a low voice. A bulky man barges in, weilding a sword. "Naphina... using our circles to heal townsfolk again, eh?"
"No, please, I-"
"Enough! That magic isn't free, you know. Give us the compensation for it or your friend here is dead." She looks down, avoiding your gaze. "I don't have it..."
"Wrong answer." The guard says angrily, stepping forward and thrusting down with his blade. You manage to roll to the side with lightning speed, despite your wounds. You then leap up and reflexively punch him in the gut, sending him into the wall. From the exersion, you collapse.
"This is not good. Let's go, quickly, you have made an enemy of the knights and if we stick around any longer more will no doubt come to investigate."
