《The Bad Guy Always Wins》Chapter 9: Temporary Adventure...START!
Advertisement
Right now I’m in the forest walking with Luna and Solar. Yesterday night I chewed them both out for being so weak. They are my generals and should not be trembling when they face someone stronger than them. I made that point clear and it will not happen again. They promised me they would get stronger and I’ll make sure of it.
I’m planning on taking Luna and Solar with me when I leave for my training. During that time, the rest of the pack will need to hunt everyday to catch up. We’re separated from the rest of the pack searching for some new prey. Over the years of training in that forest, we’ve outgrown it. Sure, the monsters that I don’t take the soul of reform in a week or two but the exp isn’t worth it anymore.
We’re now walking towards another town. It’s a neighboring small village called Charles Vill. I know what you're thinking about the name. “What kind of name for a village is Charles Vil?” Well I’m thinking the same thing. Maybe the mayor of the village name is Charles.
Leaving the stupid name of the village behind, Luna and Solar are both in their human forms when we finally arrive. I’ve already told mom and dad that I’ll probably be gone for a couple of days for my own personal training. I still haven’t told mom that I was leaving yet. Even the thought of telling her makes me shudder.
Currently we’re in front of the village talking with the guard. Apparently there’s been someone raiding the local houses and they’re stepping up security. Before we could take even one step into the village a big buff looking guy stops us. He’s wearing leather armor, has red hair, with freckles on his cheek. Honestly his head is kind of too small for his body and I don't know why but for some reason a buff ginger with freckles doesn’t look right to begin with. For some reason whenever I imagine a ginger he or she is a skinny person. Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, he has a spear on his back and a grimace on his face as he looks at us.

Moving on from the buff ginger, next to him is a female ginger, probably his sister. Unlike her male counterpart, she has a nice smile on her face. She’s wearing standard leather armor with an iron chestplate. Hm, she must be his superior officer. I decide not to cause any problems and smile at the lady. This...seems to cause more problems than I first thought as the ginger-buff-man growls at me. Yup, definitely brother. Although he growls menacingly at me, I seem to enjoy the feeling of pissing him off for some reason. I decide to act like I don’t notice the constant growling and continue to smile.
“Hello my lady, can we enter into this village.” I ask with my best smile. I may be only be 8 but anyone with any sense could see that I will be a looker when I grow up. With my purple eyes and my raven colored hair, even I can tell that I’m going to be a lady killer in my life. After all, Death is Beautiful. I kiss her hand and smile at the slight blush I see. I then hear two growls instead of one this time. One from behind me and one from in front. I let her hand go and step back before a battle starts with all of my constant teasing.
“W-well first we have to ask you a couple of questions before we can allow you to enter.” she said, putting her job ahead of her embarrassment.
“Ask away my lady.” I say smoothly as I hear and ignore two growls again.
“W-well, um, what do you plan on doing once you get inside our village?”
“ I plan on walking around and asking citizens if there are any monsters bothering them. I am an aspiring adventurer you see. I figured that I could train and help out a village while I’m at it. Two birds with one stone.”

“Well how noble of you. ” she says surprised that a kid my age is already starting as an adventurer.
“Well it’s nothing much but I do what I can to help. Plus I get something out of it too. It’s really not a big deal.”
“Well may we inspect your and your parents weapons please?” she asks with a smile. I smile back and nod. I take out my dagger from it’s holster and give it to her. Normally I wouldn’t do this but I don’t want to start any problems and she seems like a nice lady.
“They’re not my parents, they’re more of my adventure party and they don’t have any weapons.” I say, surprising her again. I get how she could get confused though. Although I have I have black hair and Luna has white hair, she does have my purple eyes and although Solar doesn’t have purple eyes yet, he does have black hair. If I told anyone that these are my parents, no one would doubt me.
“U-um, well, it doesn’t seem like anything is wrong so here you go.” she says, handing me back my dagger. She probably checked if I there was black magic in my weapon. Black magic has so much power that a person who posses it could destroy this whole village with a snap of their fingers.
“You may now enter.” she says, making a way for us. I start to walk into the village but while walking by, the man is still staring at me. Watching me while continuously growling. This is the start of my one week adventure!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
