Episode 42: Mari
You awaken suddenly to find a young woman kneeling over you. As you sit up, she falls back.
"You're finally awake," the young woman says, feeling somewhat relieved. She speaks in a familiar tone, almost like the wolf that attacked you in your dream.
"What happened?" You ask.
"You were lying on the side of the path, covered in wounds," she answered. "I couldn't just leave you there, so I brought you to my cottage. I was dressing your wounds before you woke up."
"Thank you," you finally reply after a moment of silence. You climb to your feet. "If you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to."
"But your wounds... They're not fully healed yet!" She cries out with a note of concern. "If you go back out there, you'll die!"
"Maybe," you reply, "but if I can't avenge my honor, I'm dead, even if I'm alive."
You take notice as her eyes begin to well up with tears. She seems to genuinely concerned for your well-being. She knows that she can't stop you from leaving, so she let's you go.
You take two steps toward the door of the cottage then stop. "Thank you... for your concern, Miss...?"
She stays silent for a few moments, then replies, "Mari."
"Yes. Thank you, Mari."
With those words, you leave. However, as you reach the hills, you notice a gang of orcs moving slowly toward the cottage. Mari's cottage, in fact.
