Follow Niki.

You can't help but watch her perfect, round ass sway left and right as she leads the way. The shape of her exposed lower back is tantalizing, as well the bareness of her legs below her shorts. The women of this world seem to be incredibly gorgeous so far. Whether this is Heaven or not, you continue onwards to your destiny--to that of a hero's.

When she stops, you nearly bump into her. She seems to be looking down the alley directly to your left, as well as wrapping her buckler around her arm, and slowly drawing her mace.

"I heard something," she says. "Hold on a moment."

She takes a step between the buildings and you follow beside her. You then make out shadowy figures in the darkness of the buildings' shadows. There appears to be a young man in commoner's garb pressed up against the wall behind two trashcans. There are two other men, both wielding short swords, as well as a shorter figure with ears on the top of their head.

"Hey! Get off him!" Niki shouts.

"Shit. They're here," one of the men mutters.

The other sprints into action with his sword at the ready. He moves to slash across your chest, but Niki's absorbs the blow into her buckler just in time. It's rather impressive just how little she flinches upon impact. Then, she slams her foot into his stomach, which causes him to soar backwards while also dropping his sword into the dirt. Without hesitation, the girl sprints towards the next, leaving you stunned and confused.

You pick up the fallen sword with little time to think.
