Choosing a direction

Go west

When you went out, the buiding you were in was surrounded by a small camp full of armored humans, probably for protection. You were directed to the gate and looked at the road going in two directions. North, towards aformentioned mercenary companies and civilization. There was also a road leading west, to less civilized areas and later Realm of the Demon Lord, a massive country that you were told to avoid. You smirked and chose that way.

You weren't given anything in terms of transportation, so you had to rely on your shoes. After few minutes you left behind the portal camp. Looking around, you found a branch - a decently sized stick to help you move and possibly use as a weapon to keep any possible attackers at a fair distance. Then you pulled out the hunting knife and made a few adjustment to your attire. When you looked at yourself in a small puddle of water, you were satisfied with your job. You didn't look like a completely new traveler anymore and got a little more freedom of movement.

Suddenly you felt the earth tremble. Then you heard it, the noise of dozens hooves approaching. There was no place to hide, tree line being at least a mile away, so you waited patiently for whatever was coming.

They arrived with speed and unmatched grace, each of them as beautiful as star in the night sky back home. Centaur girls. Each wearing a front armor covering breasts and stomach area, and a robe at the horse part. First of them had her hair pinned under the spiky helmet, but a single blonde strand came out from it. She approached you with a gently manner.

"Greetings, traveler. I am Shamira, the second knight commander from the Order of the Wind." She made a little bow, as much as her horse legs allowed.

"Hello, Shamira. My name is David." You responded with a bow of your own.

"It is an honor to meet you, David. The area around the portal is quite dangerous for travelers like you, so we are task with a mission of patrolling it. Females from some species can't stop themselves and would attack you on sight, just to bind you to them."

It made sense for those Centaur knights to be there then. They probably had a lot of work clearing the area of overzealous and **** monster girls.

"I must warn you if you continue heading west. Our patrol area goes for about twenty miles more in that direction. We are not allowed to go in further. It's dangerous there. One of our knight sisters got lost there a few days ago and so far we couldn't find her. If you do, please direct her to us. Her name is Kelara."

You nodded in agreement.

"I apologize, but I have to depart now. The mere presence of a scentless male causes us to slowly lose our minds." You noticed that as well, as some of the centaur girls were looking at you hungrily and one of them had to slap herself to come to her senses. "We have to temper ourselves and serve our Order. Farewell, traveler."

"Good bye."

And with that, she left, leading her knight sisters north east.

You continued on your journey and for next two days nothing happened that would be of interest. You ate your rations slowly, tried to hunt for some smaller animals and failed at it, but managed to forage a lot of edible mushrooms and other plants. You slept under a sky filled with foreign stars, and were wondering in which direction is your world. You washed yourself in a cold streams hastily, being used to hot showers back home.

On the third day...

What happened on the third day?
