Iām in a new world today and Iām not sure how I feel about it. This world seems worse than mine towards the orc kind. I was not well received in the kingās castle, nor in this village. I know that I agreed to this. But itās hard to live seeing everyone and thing look at you with fear or distrust. Iām paired up with a bunch of strangers with a penchant for death. Iām exhausted and Iāve already saved their lives a handful of times.
The little one is nice though. I respect their tenacity. When they decided to travel to some village we were attacked. I was attacked. I can handle myself, Iām a big girl capble of healing and protecting myself. I didnāt need them to step in but they did so without hesitation and thatās admirable. They donāt speak much but I wonāt complain. They let me focus on keeping the otherās alive. The first heroic act Iāve seen any of them do now that I think about it...
It seems as though everyone hates the creature called Slurp. Iām told they are a āslimeā but Iāve never encountered such a thing. If I have Iāve never realized they were sentient creatures. They insist on me carrying them like they are some king. If they werenāt so small and slow Iād be against it. But I have my own goal and theyād just slow us all down if I didnāt. At least they stay in the treeās hallow.
There is a cat like male, seems a bit creepy and smells like incense and death. I donāt have a reason to dislike him though. He takes care of the small rodent we found. I suggested we leave it but the cat insisted to keep it. Fitting.
Alister is your typical knightly human male. Bland. If I could I would have left him to die but Iād rather not break my vows just yet. Not only did he take significant damage in the fight on the way to the village, he was attacked by some sleep demon. If I wasnāt so inebriated I could have woken him up without incident but as it was I was lucky I was able to even cast a damn spell.
Thereās another one in the party but he never speaks and is easy to forget. Iām not sure if thatās good or not but I struggle to remember they even exist.
Then thereās me of course. A giant orc woman who heals instead of hurts. Ironic but Iām here. For a selfish reason. God itās so sad how I never learn. Making another deal with something beyond my control or understanding.. but here we all are. Common goal being our own selfish rewards. If we fail...we die. Canāt say thatās a bad outcome if Iām honest. Dying here a hero was better than any death I could have hoped for living in my own world.
After everything there is one thing we learned. This village has some sort of dark secret. Normally I wouldnāt care but there are monsters below the city. Monsterous things that made my skin hot and my body breathless. Literally. Almost died but... It was nice. The feeling of smooth tentacle like appendages wasnāt one I was expecting to like and yet.. I do. I liked how the crushing pressure took my breath away. I wonder if how the tip brushed clumsily over my cheek was intentional. Did it know I liked the feeling? Itās scary that Iāve become so touch starved that this brings out sinful desires. Not scary..sad.
Then again my whole life kind of reads like a tragedy so itās fitting. Iāll keep it to myself.. pursue a closer look tomorrow the group is bound to want the answer to the question of whatās going on in the village. Iāll tag along but if only to encounter those monsters again. I wonder if I could ask a villager to
Sorry the group almost died again... going off on their own without half the group. Slurp got attacked by the damned sleep demons. The little one and I were the only ones who seemed to care about the small creatureās life. I dislike the others a little more now. As stupid and reckless as they are I wouldnāt let a life go if I was fully able to stop it. That is..well.. stupid. I know I shouldnāt expect more from them, theyāre people, but we were summoned to be heroās and yet theyād readily let one of us die after just a day?
Whoās to say they wonāt deem me unworthy to be here and let me die..? Itās worrisome... I donāt think these people are all the heroās they were summoned to be. Itās sad really but we all came here for selfish reasons so I shouldnāt be surprised. Iām not surprised...I havenāt proved Iām any better. Honestly the only hero like one is the little one. The others? Myself?
I donāt trust them. The little one is good though. Iāll try to find something they like while I shop tommorow..Something cute? It seems theyād like that though Iām not sure what would pass as an acceptable gift in their world. Iāll have to keep that in mind.
Allister seemed hurt when I pointed out I could do this mission without them. My vows give me rules to live by...how I donāt loose who I am despite everything but.. .if it meant getting my body back Iād break every single one of them. I hate every day. Living alone in that hut was torture. Iād kill them all if the gods asked it of me. Does that make me a bad person? Probably...most definitely. But Iām okay with that. Iāve saved far more lives than Iād have taken. I should keep that in mind when judging the others. I feel like Iāve done far worse things than most of them. Making a deal with a demon... I... have nothing to show for my character. I didnāt even give them my real name. Gods help me find the strength I need to be the hero this world needs. Iād like to make it back home without having to give up more of myself.
For now Iāll stick with them for simplicityās sake but the only one Iād care to bring with me would be the little one. Iām still not sure what their name is nor gender but it doesnāt matter. Little one is fitting. Theyāre small. Not as small as slurp but slurp is still very much a mystery to me. What could a sentient puddle do to help save this world?
I still want to explore under the village. Not for the secrets. I coulnāt care less about their cult. No. But that monster.. I need to know if It was a body reaction or a genuine preference. I canāt shake the feeling of the breath being squeezed from my throat, the way it moved over my clothes. It could be that no one has even thought of me like that in such a long time... Perhaps it is my own desperation? Thatās a sad thought Iād rather not think about. But if slurp continues to sleep through the night Iāll at least be able to relieve some stress alone. The creature insists on sleeping in my tree. Itās a weapon not a damn bed... but never the less.
I didnāt think Iād write more but theyāve all dragged their beds into my room... insisting we all sleep together in fear of the sleep demons. Itās... worrisome and annoying. I donāt want to be murdered in my sleep by one of them. Iād let the little one stay but the rest can go off and get their souls stolen... itās frustrating. Little one is taking first watch though so Iām going to sleep now and hopefully my dreams will clear up some things.
