In the middle of the summers day a lone carriage can be seen trotting to it’s destination to Alliria and any towns they happen by along the way. The carriage is pulled by two horses one much larger than the other. In the front is a teenage girl and an older man they seem to be talking rather merrily whilst in the back sleeping on a uncomfortable wooden floor of the carriage is Eena. The old man says she must have been traveling all night to sleep like that. The daughter replies “I wonder if she's possibly on the run from someone?” The old man laughs at her assumption regardless they were lucky to run into her as with Swift Hoof getting sick they just sold the poor beast and filled it with Eena's own horse. The girl hit the old man a bit roughly stating that Swift Hoof had served them loyally for years! She was obviously still upset at his absence. The old man relented stated it was better that they at least avoided the hassle of buying a new horse in a city unknown to them.
However soon a rumbling from the brushes is heard which spooks the horses as four men dressed all in leather armor and wielding an assortment of weapons with the most intimidating of them wielding a twin sided great axe. “Nice day isn’t it” The burly man greeted with a smile that showed more teeth than cheer. The old man now shivering asked what the men wanted. “Everything! Now if you value your life you’ll crawl out nice and easy and leave the wagon with us. Don’t go nowhere though if we don’t find nothing worth squat were taking you for sport!” The now revealed bandit stated as the girl crawled into the wagon. “That place won’t save you girl!” He stated thinking she’s going in to hide. The girl moves over Eena grabbing her and shaking Eena rather violently. “WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! PLEASE!” She shouted almost like a mantra as Eena slowly came too. “Uhh…Wahhh…” She stated as the girl quickly grabbed Eena’s sword and thrusted it into her hands. “Were under attack by bandits you have to help us please!” She pleaded as Eena blinked dully still in a bit of a stupor. “Banndiot? Oh…That’s a problem…Better goooo” She stated beginning to waddle towards the opposite exit of the wagon. As she tried to exit she hit her shin on the wooden rail. “GAH!” She shouted in pain as she fell into the sandy road below giving her a face full of sand. “What in hells!” The bandit leader and his group ran to the back to find what made that thump. “HRRK *cough* *cough*” Eena bellowed clearing out and rubbing as much of the sand off of her now fully awake. She soon turned to see four fully armed men starring at her in somewhat wonder though that passed as they quickly scowled.
“So think you can take us on do you? You ain’t got a prayer woman last I checked four isn’t one and you don’t look like no orc berserker.” He stated raising his weapon as his companions followed suite. Eena drew her blade in turn taking a stoic disposition and began to quickly think. “Damn it I’m so dead! Where the hell did that idiotic merchant think he was driving getting us in this problem! Gods please give me the strength to get out of this mess!” She quickly darted her eyes to her horse thinking of just popping on him and running. No good he was straddled to the carriage making that impossible and the thieves had none of their own. So thinking quickly she took a deep breath and tried her one favorite yet desperate gambit. “It is you who should tremble in fear for you face Eena! Of house Eaglehart legendary in all the land.” She spoke with a tone that would fit a royal announcer she had practiced it pretty well she thought.
“Eagle-wha? You think a name is going to cause us to run in terror lady? HAH!” The bandit laughed as did two of his companions. ‘Seriously everyone should know what my ancestors did! Not even the merchant knew a damn thing about my family; it’s as if everything I was told about our family history was an exaggerated lie! Now that I think about it that can’t be true right?’ She began to think until she saw one of the bandits begin to back off. “Hey Bons what the hell are you doing!’ The bandit leader questioned as the bandit began shaking. “Eaglehart…That Sigil…No…NO…NOOOO!” He dropped his weapons and fell to the floor assuming a fetal position. His companions were unable to snap him out of it. Feeling a sense of victory Eena decided to put this to her advantage. “Hah you see! Our name instills such fright! So unless you yourself wish to become nothing more than a sniveling worm. Go on and face the might of thy strength!” She spoke as the bandits seemed to hesitate until the leader spit. “Sod it…Ju your with me Lance make sure that carriage don’t go nowhere and try to get Bons up!” The bandit griped his axe and approached. ‘Well that didn’t work…Damn it a fight it’s going to be then.’ Eena got into position as the man raised his axe intending to strike with a powerful blow. Eena raised her left arm to block the blow with her…Shield…That was in the carriage…Thinking quickly she deflected the great axe away with her sword narrowly avoiding damaging anything vital but the force of the strike caused to crash into the carriage. The bandit recovered faster as he attempted another blow. Eena quickly dived underneath the wagon as the great axe embedded itself in the side of the wagon scaring the girl inside causing her to let out a high pitch yell.
When Eena made to the other side she saw the two were right on her tail! She soon ran to the forest, she spied a strong looking branch pulled it back and wait for the bandit to come around the corner. When seeing his face she unleashed the branch the bandit was quick as he ducked his companion wasn’t so fortunate taking a hard stick to the face! He soon wailed on the floor as he seem to lose a few teeth. “C’mer you tramp!” The bandit stated striking at Eena again with such force is caused to crash into the tree behind her. ‘What is this bastard half Minotaur!’ She complained mentally as she stumbled upwards and charged at him before he could ready his axe! However he used his axe to block her blow then with his strength proceeded to force her against a tree as one of the sharp sides of his axe came slowly down to her face. ‘Nononono UP go UP!’ She tried to force her blade to raise the axe but he proved the stronger causing whatever gains to be quickly lost. Even worst it seems his companion was slowly getting up. ‘Damn it think Eena Think please think!’ she began to panic as it seemed her adventure to find her long lost cousin was about to come to a sudden end.
