Hospitality

Despite how happy I was to finally find a clear indication where the village was located, I still had two problems.

First one, it was a damned night! 

While it immensely helped me in terms of finding out where my destination was, I doubted that a night visit from a stranger would be viewed kindly, forcing me to bid my time before the daytime in the forest.

And the second thing was just the sheer distance I had to cover on foot to get there.

While one could think that a few kilometres was nothing to such a powerful person like me, with how curved and constantly obstructed by trees and rocks this path was, I was unable to move faster than just a bit over the speed of an average human.

What I didn't expect though, was that after I finally reached the outskirts of the village with the intention of spending the night under some big tree, I would be spotted by forward guards!

"Stop right there! Who are you!"
