Help Willingly

I can't help but feel sorry for the small dog girl and before I can stop myself I reply, "Don't worry I'll help out as best as I can." The young dog girl almost immediately perks up and her tail starts wagging.

"You will?! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" She says happily grabbing a hold of my hand and drags me over to a covered wagon before letting go. "First we'll need to get you armed and armored." She says as she hops into the wagon and starts tossing out random bits of armor.

As she rummages around I try on the pieces until I'm able to make a full suit of armor that fits comfortably. As I finish she hops out holding out a glassy looking milky white sword with blue markings along the flat of the blade, "My Mistress found this sword a while back it seems to bless anyone who wields it so it might help you here." She says offering the sword to me.

I gently take it and examine the blade curiously, suddenly I feel a surge of power surround me, in my mind I can see visions of two young women standing in front of a huge snake-like dragon and fighting with two blades one black with red markings, the other the sword I'm holding now. Each one changes between five fighting styles each with unique techniques.

Abruptly the vision ends as the dog girl pulls me over to the double doors leading into the tower. I take a deep breath to ease my nerves as I ready the sword mimicking the stance of the two women as a white and black energy surrounds me.

The dog girl pushes the doors open and unsheathes her sword taking the lead as I step forward with her. Behind us the door snaps shut as four shadows appear before us.
