-------------------

Entering the tavern which the flyer had mentioned I see a man looking stress, I noticed a few details like his torn clothing and his long hair "pardon are you um" I double check the page to confirm "Mr scott?" Once I finish speaking he peers up and nods his head accompanied by a gesture to signal I should sit down so I do

The waitress comes forth and request our drink preferences, I open my mouth to ask for a simple, non-achoholic drink but Mr Scott speaks up before me "Two ales hun" the waitress turns to me and states " I assume you want nothing achoholic charlie?" She knew my father before he disappeared due to one wrong move when he was drunk "Yes but go ahead and surprise me." Mr Scott looks confused for a moment before turning to me "Charlie, eh?" He chuckles, 'weird' I think 'my name isn't funny'

He explains his issue, Kobalds are eating his crops and stealing his valuables for the mother dragon, whom I have to kill, alone. Fuck

"Yeah, kid id look for a few other people." No dip Sherlock.

I leave, he's dumb. Of course I need a party bur I don't want to socialize. That's off topic. I just need to slay a dragon, get the reward and go on with my days. I recheck the board on my way home and low and behold there's no more quest but a party grabs another page identical to mine maybe we'll run into each other on our way there and I'll just join them. I decided to lean over to the small girl walking beside them "Mr scott needs you to slay a dragon, White, adult, her name is adilina" and continue. She  scans the area surrounding her but sees none she opens her mouth and speaks, I never hear

Once I hit home my crow is asleep agian, unlocking his cage alerts him agian "Shut up" I snarl and pepper silences once more

I grab a small bag and pack up the necessary items for this all but my daggers, those I place on my belt. Rushing up glancing in my mirror and fixing my dark hair I'm off. I return quickly and grab my bird

Then I'm off

Tracking in these woods is a pain in the ass. But I have absolutely nothing to base my location off of. I only have a picture of the mountain and the rough location that is 'east' I barely know my left from right how am supposed to know east. That's why I have pepper flying above to the east, apparently birds have a natural sense of direction.

As I'm making a right turn to stay on path a feel a sharp pain in my right wing. "AAAAHHH!" I shout grabbing the pain. An arrow. I stumble to the ground tears stinging my eyes, I shuffle off to side into the woods

"It's that party" I mumble in a whisper. 'What are they looking for' i question internally, then it dawns on me 'me' enters my brain before I can get away more I hear "where the hell are you villian. We know you're hear' rings ear through ear but no one spoke. I remember the spell, I can answer 'I'm not a villian, I'm charlie.' I return hoping it gets there "his names charlie, he claims he isn't a villian" a low pitched voice informs the other members of the mostly tall party "Charlie eh, they a girl or some shit?" A shorter one questions back "I can ask." And I hear 'what is your gender Charlie' I hate them using my name 'I'm a boy, charlie is short for Charles.' He resites what I just said replacing 'I'm' with 'he's' "Let's leave, we have a dragon to slay." The short woman says. And they exit the area, now being extra cautious

"Bitches" I utter under my breath while patching up my wound "that hurt like hell"
