Wait, how sturdy is that sandbank?

Too bad you can't take a hit.

Too bad your nipples didn't tell you about the meteor.

I suppose that means it can't swim.

We need to get back to our compatriots. Otherwise, how will we save the princess from those Kerran baatards? The hideout was near a river, but the odds of it being this river are preposterous.

Unusually, the this river would be uninhabited. With no settlements on it's banks.

This place, it smells good.

The abomination is not about to admit that its name is Thora, nor that its lack of tits is inconsistent with her gender.

>>635712
She wasn't very pretty. Her teeth weren't very long or sharp either. More like an herbivore than a carnivore, really.

Tgchan never had to worry about voices in her head, or a decentralized nervous system. She never had to move boulders the size of a temple.

This crude anthropomorphic rabbit isn't named Peridot.
Pronounced Perry-Dot.

Perry Dot is a cute name. Maybe not fitting, but cute! Her parents hardly knew what she would grow into at the time.
Plus, it gives the boys an excellent icebreaker.

...Not that she meets many. This little podunk town is a quiet little place, here mostly because the river moved in the Summoning. Her waitressing work lets her chat up virtually everyone who passes through, but there hasn't been any for weeks, She's taken up some weaving recently to-

It sure was a tradegy when the abomination killed and devoured Peri. She meant her harm.

Perry was not impressed by the creature's internal crystals.

What the f-fudge is that?!?
Did it just pull me through the bridge? and those teeth? Oh gods, is this a hero?

W, well I'm not dead. Thats good, that means its one of the nice ones, right? Or like, one of the ones with rules? Should have paid more attention when the teacher came through.

Uh, it was something like: 'If you're still alive, be nice to it.' Maybe that's smiling.

I don't suppose there's any fluctuation or some such to its hissing? Maybe it's trying to talk to you.

Just... Just motion for it to follow, maybe?
And if it responds by following, then, well, it's good.
And of it responds by lunging, then
Uh
We'll work from there

It keeps hissing, but there really isn't anything to it. Just a long constant thing, like a snake with huge lungs.
>>638310
I climb out of the river, keeping the smile plastered to my face as I beckon it to follow.

It just stares at me hissing, staying under the bridge.
Since it dragged me under the bridge its been acting like a scared animal more than anything else. Some heroes are supposed to still be really smart, but maybe this isn't one of them.

Should I even be leading it into town? We don't actually have a dentist really, just a healer to who holds people together while their magic takes over. Maybe I should lead it into the guardhouse, or the mercenary guild.

You dropped your bag!
But how do you know it's a hero? It hasn't completed any quests or caused mass destruction.
And I suppose you could... Help it up?
...after sticking a bit of wood in its mouth so that it can't bite you

Shoot, there goes any plan of tempting it with my lunch.

I guess I could have been jumping to conclusions. It could just be some poor soul with a bigger than average Shard.
I'm silly to think a legitimate Hero escaped when there aren't any Trackers in town.
Man, I'd love to meet a Tracker. They're the kind of people you write steamy novels about. Strong, dangerous, well paid, adept with thrusting weapons...

>Stick a bit of wood in its mouth so that it can't bite you
Both ends of the plank are still tied to the bridge. It actually doesn't look like there were any smaller pieces, the ends of the board were cut super cleanly. Did it do that?

It stops hissing the moment I touch it, and follows me as I stumble out of the river.
It's acting really submissive now, head bowed and far fewer teeth then it had before. Its hand and arm have changed a bunch too, feeling and looking way more normal than it did in the water.
I think it's a girl? When someone has been changed this much by a shard it can be hard to tell. but it-she is all kinds of dainty and soft. And light, I guess.

So, where should I take it-her? I could get her a meal at the tavern I work at easy, or maybe the guardsmen have gotten some kind of missing persons report.
I still have that nagging fear that it might be really dangerous, even if it is calm now.

Take it-her to ye olde makeout pointe

So what's this stuff about shards and heros? Sometimes people just change into something really different?

>I could get her a meal at the tavern I work at easy
Food is a pretty universal sign of hospitality.

>I still have that nagging fear that it might be really dangerous
Well, all the more reason to stay on her good side, then.

Besides, if she is dangerous, it's not like you can do much about it. You're not dangerous yourself.

Something like three generations ago a thing happened. Details are unclear because everyone died and the Teacher was super boring.

Some kind of monster was summoned and ate a third of the world. Oceans drained, the sky burned, the earth shook and collapsed.

When the Heroes finally killed the monster it didn't die so much as shatter. Anyone standing close to it caught a bunch of pieces and also turned into monsters.
Then they went on to destroy everything again before they got stopped.
Shards are still floating around, and heroes constantly splash them around. Every so often someone catches one and changes.

My grandparents people got it mostly under control. Now people live around the big crater the monster left, with the Heroes held in big prisons out in the wastelands. New villages like ours are starting to move out, but its a huge effort to carve new farmland out of the salt.

I got my first visible shard when I was 9ish. I stopped growing hair and started growing crystals. I also don't need nearly as much water as everyone else.

>Food is a pretty universal sign of hospitality.

I'll start boiling some dollar bread. One handed, since she doesn't seem interested in leaving me alone for even a moment.

Maybe she can help?

>>665419
Might work. Two one hands make two hands.

>I got my first visible shard when I was 9ish.
So wait, does that mean it's sort of normal for people to have shards? Is what sets a hero apart is just they got a ton of them?

I'm just whining to distract myself. It isn't exactly hard to boil water.

>So wait, does that mean it's sort of normal for people to have shards?
It's not natural maybe? Everyone I've ever met has at least had a visible shard.
I guess that might explain why the Mages picked people out for this village.
Two years ago instead of just sending a Teacher around they went though and picked out people with only a few shards, and had us start a new village.

'Made' is probably the wrong word for it. They gave a bunch of gifts to anyone who moved.
Like this Firestone! Just give it a touch, and it lights up in this pretty blue fire that won't burn you!
Way better than trying to dig up old wood.

My family was lucky enough that we all qualified, so Mom and Dad were able to get stuff that worked together well.
We've also got a vase that cleans water. That's most of what I do during the day, just clean water and bottle it.

>'Made' is probably the wrong word for it. They gave a bunch of gifts to anyone who moved.
Encouraged with subsidies and/or bribes.

The way you capitalize say those makes it seem like they have some special significance. Who or what are they?

>>678776
Your friend has turned away and is hissing(?). And there's a really faint grey static. Either she spies something unpleasant behind you, or she doesn't like magic blue fire.

So, Is there anyone else in town?
