Cloth

Greetings tiny creature. You got the look of an adventurer alright. I’d call myself the same but this dreadful place makes me feel inadequate.

Enough! I cannot wallow in my weakness. I must take strength from your example!

You act so confident in battle. You show no fear before your foes. I’ll try my best to do the same.

Such luck! This tiny one appears at just the right moment. And what masterful skill it shows!

As a warrior it sets powerful precedent. I’d do well to learn from its form.

Am I in over my head? Even these shroom creatures almost did me in and far nastier things await further down.

Curse me and my foolish bravado! If I could shed my pride, I’d be asking this tiny warrior for help.

Well now that was something! A true battle of mighty warriors. So intense. So climactic. It’s really everything I could have ever hoped for.

Thanks for all your help, my friend. For a tiny bug you set a valiant example. We’ll meet again, I’m sure of it.

My friend, you dealt with all of those beasts?

I’m ashamed to say... I was hiding. Those ghastly things chased me and I ran. If you hadn’t come along, who knows if I’d ever have survived.

Others take me for a fearsome warrior, what with my impressive size, but this kingdom’s beasts, I wonder if I’m just no match for them?...

I’ll be off soon. It’s a dangerous thing to trek the desolate sands beyond the kingdom. I’ll need all my strength to survive them.

First though, a good rest is in order.

It’s time! I’ll face that fear. Nola will be proud.

Keep sharp my adventurous friend. Stay alive and let’s meet again on the road ahead.

Nola, I’m coming. More challenging foes are out there, somewhere, but none in this ruin could take me to you...

I’m taking what brief rest I can, then I’m off in search of less terrifying challenge. This nest is no place to die.

This whole area swarms with deadly critters, biting, burning, scratching types. I’d thought to test my strength against them. Now that bravado has left me and all I feel is tired and sore.

I look forward to our next contact, tiny saviour. Then you’ll meet a warrior with courage to match your own.

Ah! Tiny warrior. I’m glad I could see you again. You’ve inspired me! I’m about to head off in search of other places and other foes.

This quiet town’s the perfect stop before I scale the cliffs and head out onto the plains.

Such bad luck. The critters about here are just terrifying. Those scuttling legs, those gnashing teeth.

Tis not the end I’d ever want to meet.

Ahhh tiny warrior. Then, you too come to test yourself against that traitorous tribe?

A deadly bunch they are that roost within these glades. I’d once’ve stayed well clear of them, but your actions have shown me the truth of it. We must face down our fears or be defeated by them.

If we both make it through, we can swap stories of our adventures. I’d look forward to that!

I wasn’t hiding, you know. Just napping before I head off again.

Bound to be facing even more deadly beasts soon, so I gotta keep me strength up.

Be on my way soon. Nola is waiting and I’m done down here. Just savouring the moment a little longer.

Ah ha! The tiny steps of a tiny creature. You got the look of an adventurer, so we’ve much in common.

Searching for dangerous places aye? Well you’re on the right track.

A long necked critter warned me of a tribe deeper down. Warrior sorts, so she says and I’m itching for some serious combat.

Stay alive my friend. Whatever you seek in here, I’m sure that tribe won’t look lightly on our intrusion.

Oh! Ahh. Such a tiny creature, yet you dealt with all of those beasts?

I wasn’t hiding, if that’s what you’re thinking. Just waiting for the right moment to pounce!...No... I can’t speak such a lie... I was hiding.

Those ghastly things chased me and I ran. If you hadn’t come along, who knows if I’d ever have survived.

Others take me for a fearsome warrior, what with my impressive size, but this kingdom’s beasts, I wonder if I’m just no match for them?...

...

I could only hide. What warrior am I?..
