when I awoke this morning Ran was there to meet me. He explained that I was to choose as either being an errand runner or a worrier. I didnt know which one to choose so for the morning I ran a few errands and then went off to lunch. After lunch I was just about to run an errand for Blacksmith Bartz when Ran came up to me out of breath screaming that another person was needed to support the gate. I grabbed a .... pointed stick and ran through the gate portal. When I got outside... there was fighting everywheres ... I didnt know where to turn. This thing... I had never see before ran for me. It was huge! I threw the javlin at it hopeing it would go away ... but I missed. looking around for anything to use on the ground around me and to my supprise I found an ax...I hit the beast as hard as I could but it only hit its arm Backhanding me I flew to the ground... all of a suddent the best growned and fell foward. A man was standing behind it and a dagger was in the back of the "goblins" head. The man instructed I follow him and I did. He introduced himself as Ian and explained that the battle feild was no place for me and to meet him at the blacksmith later then he vanished. When Ian meet up with me lateron all he said was that I needed training he made sure I had my ax and we went out together to fight the creatures. he taught me much about handling wepons and where to look but apparently I still have alot to learn. I am very tired now and we have just finished dinner. Ian has retired to his room as have I and I must be up early to join him in the morning... good night
