The guard captain approached Chester, with two spearmen following behind. how did he get through the forest on is own? this man is obviously very powerful. He does not carry any weapons, so he must be a strong magic user. it would be a good idea for me to get on his good side while I can. When the captain reached Chester, he pulled a greater stamina potion out of his belt, and handed it to him. Chester took the bottle, is this lemonade? I am so thirsty. How much is in here, like gulp of lemonade? maybe its magical and really holds a lot. Chester pulled out the stopper, and gulped it down. It really was only a gulp.

  "Thank you"

  "No problem"

  Chester plugged the bottle up. He noticed that it was all made out of glass, but the stopper seemed to plug it up as if it was made out of rubber. The captain took back the empty bottle, and held out his hand, offering a handshake.

  "I'm the guard captain"

  "My name is Chester"

  "nice to meet you. I hope that will help you make it into the city on your own, there's not much else we can help you with"

  "That should be fine thank you"

  The guard captain motioned towards the city, and Chester walked on through the gate. After Chester was out of sight, the guard captain caught a whiff of a foul smell. He looked around, and then brought his hand up to his nose, and sniffed. He started to gag. One of the spearmen got worried.

  "Are you OK captain?"

  "There's shit....there's shit on my hands!"

  "How did you get shit on your hands sir?"

  "Just get me something to clean it off!'

  "Right away sir!".

  Chester entered the city gate. He walked over to one of the guards inside. Being so exited to start his questing, he forgot all about his immediate hygiene issues.

  "I'm looking for the adventurers guild"

  The guard was involved in the security alert when Chester first approached the city, so he was not surprised by his appearance.

  "I don't know of any adventurers guild, but the fighters guild is just down the road, you make a right down the street, and is on the right side"

  "thank you"

  Chester made his way down the street, and noticed he was able to walk much farther without getting exhausted. As he walked, he noticed every single person stopping to stare at him.

  He soon came to the first side street. It was much narrower than the main road, and the buildings on both sides blocked most of the light. He excitedly walked down the side street looking around for signs of he guild. As he walked, two men that were relaxing next to a dumpster got up, and stood in his way.

  "I didn't know they started letting monsters into the city"

  "This has to be the fattest baby giant I have ever seen"

  Chester did not like the way this was progressing. One of the thugs made a whistle, and five more came out from he shadows. The shortest thug stepped forward.

  "hand over your coins"

  "I don’t have any"

  The small thug motioned to the bigger thugs behind him.

  "My friends don’t like you very much, you better hand over the coins"

  Chester started to feel the adrenalin running through his body. This is it, the classic thug attack in the alley. Heres where I win my first epic fight.

  "Not now top hat man, I'm about to win my first epic victory"

  All of a sudden, most of Chester’s vision was covered by a giant blue box.

  Misunderstanding the fat baby giants rambling and flailing, the short thug called out to his gang,

  "Quickly, get him before he casts that spell"

  The biggest thug stepped forward, and punched Chester right in the face.

  Chester fell down. The thugs grouped around him, kicking his back and stomach.

  The kicks kept on coming.

  The thugs stopped their beat down. Chester’s glasses were broken. The small thug leader picked up the broken glasses. One of the gang members reported

  "his pockets are empty"

  "Take his shoes"

  This thing he wore on his face certainly is magical, maybe even a relic. And I've never seen shoes like that before.

  "Lets go before we get seen"

  The leader called out to another thug,

  "Take care of him so that he doesn't report us"

  The thug took out a dagger, leaned over, and stabbed Chester in his side.

  The thugs ran down the alley and out of sight.

  During the stomping, Chester had started to cry, and now, he continued to cry.

  "mommy" *sob, sob, sob*

  "mommmmy" *sob, sob, sob*

  *crying*

  "Fuck You top hat man!"

  *crying*.

  His body ached all over. He calmed down a bit, and looked towards the entrance of the alley. His vision was all blurry. He let out a moan of pain.

  So I realized, that when your'e getting beat up, after a while you start to zone out, and I started thinking, "I wish i didn't get out of bed today"
