[h2]Location: Cap-card tourney, outside[/h2]

	I was about to comment on the random things that seemed to appear from nothing, but, it seems like one of the small, green humans decided it was best to attack my right rib cage with a mace, and, since I didn't see anything like that coming, I took the mace, which only made my condition worse, and complained with [color=0054a6]"Ugh... first, the town's shut down, and now we've got armies of... something, or another... this really isn't my day, is it?"[/color] I then got up, and somehow managed to breathe fire at the thing, despite the fact that I was already pretty badly hurt. During this, I heard a familiar roar, but, unfortunately, couldn't really do anything about it, or even figure out where, exactly it came from due to the fact that I had to focus on my current opponent, this weird, small, green human in brown clothing who's wielding a mace... one that really hurts when it nearly breaks your ribcage. [color=0054a6]"Hey, while we're here, d'ya mind telling me what, exactly, you ARE?"[/color] I asked the guy, almost expecting a response. I then remembered that this was the exact same thing that attacked me a few moments after it seemingly appeared from thin air, so, despite its resemblance to a human, something I know can talk, I was beginning to think it was less and less likely that this thing was going to actually say anything in response to my question. [i][color=0054a6]Today was going to finally be the day, too... I was finally going to defeat Bowser by sneaking into his castle when he least expects it, and attacking him, while bypassing his guards... this time without having them follow me around, but, no, THIS had to happen[/color][/i] I thought as I prepared myself for whatever attack this thing was going to try to pull off, next.
