The Tower

A little closer to midnight, I went over to where the three of them were and watched what they were doing. It looks like they were trying to force open the door. They managed to improvise a battering ram with an old log and tried to knock as hard as possible so that the door would open. I thought the scene was funny so I watched without being noticed.

- Losing boar, raise that trunk right!

- You say that as if it were normal to have the strength of a monster just like you, mini gorilla!

- Why don't we let that poor trunk rest in peace?

- Leaf head, don't grumble now or we won't open that door.

And then they ran with the trunk towards the door with all the speed they had, but it ended up being an effort without results. Then they dropped the log on the ground and sat down thinking about what to do. I decided to enter the scene now:

- Huhum….

I feigned a loud cough to get their attention. The three then looked at me.

- Weird kid finally came!

Adrick looked at me with enthusiasm, Raild with anger or disappointment and Kaule soon looked away with sadness. But before any words came out of their mouths, I went ahead:

- I ended up changing my opinion and decided to help you, but with some conditions.

- And what made you change your mind?

Asked Raild.

- That is the first condition, I do not want to talk about what made me change my mind.

- Hmm…

- And the others?

Adrick continued.

- The second is that I don't want you to ask anything about my personal life or my past, any more than I am going to ask about yours.

- This is easy!

Replied the dwarf, as if he were proud of it for some reason.

- The last one is that I want to know more about your abilities and skills.

- An introduction from us, but nothing too revealing, right?

As always, Kaule is always very smart and assertive.

- That's right. I will also tell you about myself in that case so that it is fair.

Then the three agreed to the conditions and started their presentations.

- I go first. As you already know, I am Kaule, I am a protector of the forest and for that reason I have skills related to nature, I can make small plants grow faster in addition to producing my own fighting weapons with the help of trees.

- My turn! My turn! In addition to being the tallest in my homeland ...

- ~ Popularly known as kindergarten ~ Cof cof…

He tried to disguise Raild, but I don't think Adrick even heard what he said.

- Be quiet, weak boar, it's my turn to talk yet - weren't you a losing boar? - ... I am also the strongest of the fighters in my city - I think he said that too - and I won the award for best shot at the winter festival ...

- Shot? Like Axe throwing?

I asked.

- Throwing anything, for example, look at that fence twenty meters away!

We all looked at the fence at the same time, it was a little far away. Suddenly we saw something big flying towards the fence. He really managed to hit that fence with something so big! It is indeed an impressive skill. When I went to look back at him I realized that someone was missing. It can not be:

- What did you use to throw?

- The weak boar! HAHAHAHA

He said it proudly and laughing out loud. Although it was impressive, unfortunately it must not have been for Raild haha. I tried to contain my laughter at the situation.

After getting up and punching Adrick in the head, who by the way must have felt nothing, Raild took his turn to introduce himself.

- What I have to say is that I learned everything I know from the underworld, so my skills are focused on attacks and stealth manipulations, that's all.

Very objective. Now it's my turn then:

- I do not have much knowledge of combat and I only have experience in basic adventures, in addition I do not know how my only skill works, so far I only know that I start to shine and become the target of all kinds of damage, basically an easy target.

- We already have someone who can use bait when we need to escape then - I gave a perpendicular blow with an open hand on Raild's head - Ouch!

- Now that I have a better knowledge of everyone, we can proceed.

I turn and head towards the door. I stop in front of her and let out a big sigh:

- Ah ... Come on ...

With both hands, I opened the double tower door that started to shine the moment I touched it. It was extremely easy, even though they were using force to open it before it was surprising that I managed it that way.

The room is totally dark, but from the moment I put my foot inside a trail of torches on both sides began to light in blue flames leading up to a type of monolith one meter high with a kind of spectral cube rotating in on top of him. Really a transcendental scenario, if this is the moment that I die, at least I will feel less sorry than I had died in any ditch.

We headed towards that cube and I reached out to it. When I touched it, it suddenly disappeared and turned into a kind of transparent blue panel and something was written on it, but the moment I was going to read a female voice coming from all sides, she started to speak:

[ Welcome, challengers, to the Tower of Desires's game !! Where your dream comes true !! ]

- What?!... Game?!
