Finally Something Exciting Happens!

17th of Horsebow Moon, 1173
 
Wandering into the town of Kelathar I looked around for a tavern to stay at. Walking along the buildings my eyes scanning for a place to stay I caught sight of a large metal owl bear... they aren't usually metal right? However it was next to a horse and seemed to be doing fine (not angry). It just sort of was sitting there, waiting? Looking over at the building it was staring at read: 'The Fire Flower Tavern'. It was too perfect of timing and there was sure to be something or someone interesting inside if this was their companion! Cautiously walking by the owl bear I slowed and observed it out of the corner of my eye. It moved and looked exactly like an owl bear but someone must've made it seeing as it was metal! How amazing!! Curiosity took me over and I stopped and stepped toward the owl bear now able to see its' face. Noticing me start towards it, the owl bear turned its head to look in my direction and glowing blue eyes blankly gazed at me. I couldn't hide my amazement and audibly gasped a hello at the creature. It was so lifelike and amazing I couldn't help but gawk at it. The owl bear's head tiled and the horse next to it snorted making me look at it in surprise just in time to see it bowing its' head. Giggling at how cute both were I decided it was time to head in and get some food and a good night’s rest. Maybe I would find out more about this metal owl bear from someone staying at the tavern, I thought. Surely I could have never known what later would bring.
 
Once inside I put my bag and gear in my room before grabbing some food. Waiting for my meal I looked around and saw a wide variety of people scattered around at different tables. Some were in pairs and others were sitting alone. My focus was mostly on an armored Ardent with blonde hair. She was traveling with a person that had a comically large backpack on. They were both chatting amongst themselves when the blonde armored ardent stood and started heading my way. She introduced herself as Emelina and looking for advice on her pamphlet to introduce people to Vorinism. All of her information was correct and it was impressive she had hand written them all. Complimenting her on her work I gave her some feedback and she left to go about the room and handout her pamphlets.
 
I ate my meal in peace while trying to listen in on Emelina’s conversations, curious as to why she was an armored Ardent, maybe someone would dare to ask. Catching a few words from her conversation with the two sitting at the bar I gathered the clues in my head. She was most likely in Knights of Ardentia, which calmed my nerves and allowed me to focus on my own thoughts while eating.
 
Not too long after the owl bear went crazy! How could something so dormant one second be so violent the next and punch a hole in the wall?! I wanted to make sure no one was hurt and rushed out amongst everyone else at the tavern. Everyone helped to subdue the owl bear, Therion (later found his name out) didn’t want his creation to be hurt and all I could think about was one spell I had in hopes of stopping Achilles (also found the owl bear’s name out later).
 
Therion had gotten badly injured but didn’t seem like he was going to rest and instead got to fixing his creation right away. I went over to him instead of heading inside with everyone else. We had a brief conversation because I was curious about Achilles and how he worked. He just seemed so lifelike it was amazing. I then introduced myself before casting a quick healing spell on Therion and his friend just in case something happened tonight with Achilles again.
 
And that’s pretty much all of the highlights for today!
