Part Three:
The wind blew harshly and some clouds rolled in the distance, a storm was brewing. Vinn looked around and made sure that was the last of the goblins. She walked up to the house and pressed her ear to the wooden door, she did not hear a sound. Opening the door carefully, Vinn looked around the small one room building with a fire place which was lit up. The room also had shelves for random objects upon them.
Ana rushed into the room and walked to a chest opening it. "I wonder what's in this?" It was a bottled of mushrooms in some liquid. She picked it up quickly and put in in her pack.
Vinn rolled her eyes at Ana as she turned around and headed to the barn. The corner or the wall was broken and that was the way Vinn took to enter. She stepped over the crumbled stone and stood inside of the room. She imagined what it would have been to live here. Maybe a family lived here and the goblins chased them out, or even worse.
"Master?" Ana peered inside from a window and then she walked to the crumpled wall. "Should we head back to Gran Soren?" Her voice was kind which was weird for a Pawn.
Vinn turned to exit and walked passed Ana without saying a word. Her steps were hard against the dirt of the path. Ana followed her master without saying anything.
Vinn couldn't help it but her mind drifted back home. What it was like when the dragon attacked her small fishing village. Vinn was the only woman to grab a sword and defend herself. She didn't once think of running away like a coward would do. Vinn had her heart stolen and was destine to get it back, some how. The great beast would surely demolish a petty human like her.
The two warriors walked the path back to Gran Soren. About half way back the sun settled beyond the mountains and the shadows grew in depth. Ana pulled out her lantern and kindly lit it and held it up for Vinn to see her way back.
"Stray from the roads and we'll be soon to find monsters." Ana spoke as she looked to the edges of the path. Ana seemed to hate the dark because she always lit her lantern whenever a shadow cast over her head.
"I know, Ana. We are fine." Vinn continued to walk without looking about.
They walked underneath a ruined arch way and suddenly Ana shouted. "Arisen! Help me!"
Vinn turned around to find that Ana being held by an undead human. Ana dropped her lantern and struggled to get free. Vinn ran back and grabbed the hair of this creature, with a swing of her fist, she slammed her knuckles into its face. The zombified man stumbled back dropping Ana. She grabbed her lantern and hooked it ot her side and she took her sword in her hand.
Vinn grabbed the hilt of her sword and swung the blade from her hip. As she swung it the blade slashed a crossed the undead's chest and caused him to bleed. He stood up again and tried to grab at Vinn. She blocked him with her shield as she did so her hair got in her face. Unable to see properly Vinn was scratched on her neck several times. Vinn groaned as she soon felt weakened. "Ana!"
Ana was simply standing there just watching as her master was being attacked. She was frozen as a baby fawn would be. Vinn threw her foe off of her arm and jabbed her sword into his chest. The man rose again and Vinn gave up.
She had been poisoned and Ana was froze. Vinn ran to Ana and pushed her around. The girl soon fell out of it as she fell to her knees. "Ana get up!" Vinn grabbed Ana'a leather cape pulled her to her feet. Ana sheathed her blade and began to run along side Vinn.
They got to the gate bridge and Vinn struggled to breathe. Ana took Vinn's arm and helped her walk to the gate.
