Re: The Knight's Escape (Clara)
After a while of following the rude, haughty elf, Clara, as she was promised, was lead to what appeared to be a primitive settlement. Only, rather than seeing just a large collection of elves just like the woman, Clara found that there was actually a large collection of different races roaming about the town, busy with their responsibilities. A human blacksmith, making crude, but effective weaponry for the hunters and protectors of the town was seen pounding away at a sword upon a metal anvil. A centaur with packages strapped to her animal portion of her body was seen deliviering a large collection of meat, and edible plants to what appeared to be the Inn, a large building made of old wood, standing about two storied high, and large enough to store dozens of guests inside, which indicated that this town likely received a large number of visitors such as Clara herself who have lost their way.
And the strangest thing, was that the most Clara had received from her naked condition, was either a second glance, or a perverted one from some of the more predatory looking demi-humans in the village. A spider woman in particular, giving her a seductive, lecherous grin. The elf led Clara to the Inn, which the centaur had just entered to deliver her goods, up to the door made of wood, which had no knob to speak of, the only way to open it being a simple push of her hand, while locking it shut was likely performed by using a length of thick wood to prevent it from opening. Very primitive indeed.
"This is where you'll be staying, and where I've been instructed to leave you. The centaur minding the counter inside will take care of any creature comfort she can, a room, food and water come to mind. You will rest here, and mingle with the locals if you like. Get used to our settlement, as you'll likely be spending a long time here earning your keep, until you're fit enough to explore on your own, as so many humans before you have done." she instructed Clara, before turning, and pointing towards the middle of town, where a lone well was located, constructed of stones around the base, and wood over it, where a bucket was attached to a length of rope.
"That is the center of town, where the leader of our town, Beatrice, will give all of you humans who arrived today an orientation, and welcoming to your new home. And in case you're wondering, by home, I mean this island. Due to a magic that keeps any life inside, and prevents it from leaving, you'll most likely spend the rest of your days here." she told Clara simply, with a simple, 'tour guide' disposition.
