On to the farm.

“We need to find someone else who either knows stuff or can at least point us in the right direction. I admit I don’t have any idea what is going on, not really, but I know somewhere there is something that I am supposed to be doing something about. Some kind of evil nasty that I need to deal with.”

“There is all sorts of insanely powerful evil creatures all over, there is a literal hell, well not all that far away actually. Why is this something you have to do? Can’t we just have fun?” She asks, locking your arm in hers, kinda like she was your boyfriend or something.

“Oh I’m sure we will have fun along the way.” You say switching your arms position so you look like the boyfriend, “Like I said. I have no idea how or why, just that whatever this is, for whatever reason, it is my job.”

She smiles and sets to walking, leading the way you see, “Fine, so we head to the farm then.”

The darkness descends again and stars are in the sky by the time you make it tot the farm, but you do make the journey quite easily. The two of you have quite a good time practicing your skills on the way. This reveals several things to both of you. She is by far the better fighter in melee, and stronger than you, but not by a lot. By the look of it she isn’t exactly an expert in melee combat herself, meaning that you pretty much could defend yourself against an animal, but neither of you should mess with a skilled fighter. When it comes to accurate fire, she is a pretty good shot with a bow, and you are way better. Your eyes just seem to lock focus on your target, and you hit pretty damned close. She insists this is evidence you are using magic but neither of you can figure out exactly how that works, for all you know it might just be you remembering a skill. You also decide her bow is a better choice than your crossbow so you both decide she will make you a bow tonight. She also thinks both of you being archers is cute. Speaking of cute she also thinks you should wear a skirt like hers so you can show off your sexy legs better, plus it’s armored, and some men wear kilts so it isn’t girly. On the magic side of things you do accomplish learning a spell, a cantrip she calls it. You harness some energy inside of you after lunch and an unseen **** that in your head is dressed like a cute French Maid, does the dishes, that’s it, but it is an actual spell so you are happy.

As you get about 1000 yards from the farm she asks, “Think we should wait till daylight?”
