Monster?! [Danny/Frey]
Danny had visited Selphia once or twice before. It was pretty far out of the way for him, but since he traveled back and forth a lot on the weekends, it was sometimes nice to go somewhere else for a change. Just for himself, or maybe to pick up a souvenir.
There was always a danger of monster attacks, however. Whenever you traveled, you just had to hope you were lucky. Danny was no fighter, not really. He could probably come out ok in a scuffle with someone, and he could probably figure out how to swing a sword if one was handed to him, but he probably wouldn’t do so great against an angry monster. In the few cases in the past that he’d encountered a monster, he mostly just tried to sneak by without them noticing or ran. He definitely wasn’t the only traveler to do that.
Not far outside Selphia, Danny made the mistake of letting his guard down. He carelessly walked through a pile of fallen leaves and twigs, making a decent amount of noise. Hearing a growl behind him, Danny turned around to find an orc archer staring him down a few yards away.
“W-woah!” Danny said, taking a few steps back, putting up his hands. “U-um, easy there... ahaha...” The orc had no intention of calming down, and instead fired its bow, which thankfully missed Danny by a few feet. “Ack!” Danny jumped. That was a lucky miss. If Danny stuck around too long, it wouldn’t happen again. He booked it away from the monster, which only wound up chasing him.
“Ergh... This is really bad...” Danny said, checking behind him. The orc wasn’t gaining any ground, but with arrows, it didn’t need to. “H-help! Anyone there?!”
