《 Level 1 Tamer 》
[b]Location:[/b] Ruined Inn[/center][hr][hr]
Sora found the correct door, and a little girl came out of it, clearly scared. He was taken to a few years back, to when his sister was that age, and he was vividly – painfully – reminded of his younger sibling.

He crouched down so she wouldn’t have to look up at him. [color=AFEEEE]“Hello, there,”[/color] he lowered his tone and made his voice softer. It was easier to sound kinder as an elf; his voice was already different than he was used to. Melodious, warm, and airy all in one. When he was putting in the effort, it was as soothing as a light spring drizzle, as gentle as the warmth of early summer’s morning sun rays.

…

Maybe elves were naturally prone to poetry. Sora didn’t know why else he’d suddenly be thinking about nature like that.

[color=AFEEEE]“Ahhh,”[/color] he carded a hand through his hair nervously at the little girl’s question. [color=AFEEEE]“I was on a plane,”[/color] he said, making no mention of the harsh truth to the child. He gave a quick glance at the other two when they answered. It didn’t seem like they knew either. Maybe they were all in the same or in a similar situation?

[color=AFEEEE]“I don’t know how I got here. Maybe I got lost?”[/color] he joked lightly, smiling at the little elf in a friendly manner. [color=AFEEEE]“Did you get lost too? Were you with someone else?”[/color] He figured she must have been with her parents, or someone.

Not once did it occur to him that the small, scared girl might not be a child.

[color=AFEEEE]“It’ll be alright–”[/color] he started saying, but that’s when the pounding started. [color=AFEEEE]“Oh, [i]shiiiii[/i]–”[/color] he bit off the curse on the account of the minor present. His body grew tense however, and his smile slipped.

[color=AFEEEE][i]Don’t panic, easy, think it through, calm breaths,[/i][/color] he silently encouraged himself. [color=AFEEEE]“Alright, we have to be very, very quiet now, and very brave, alright?”[/color] he told the elf child. [color=AFEEEE]“We’ll protect you if it comes down to that,”[/color] he promised her, then stood up.

[color=AFEEEE]“Yeah, you’re not the only one,”[/color] he said quietly to the winged man. [color=AFEEEE]“When I looked out of the window…I thought I saw zombies.”[/color] He inhaled deeply, and exhaled slowly. [color=AFEEEE]“If this is all for real, we’re gonna have to be very careful.”[/color]

What did he know about zombies? Well, only what he’d seen in games, movies, and other media.

[color=AFEEEE]“I’ve seen they’re slow, but I don’t think running out right away is a good idea. They heard us, so maybe a loud noise can distract them. I’ll look around, try to figure out something. Could you two find something to block the doors? Maybe with chairs? Worst case scenario, we could still go out the ground floor windows…”[/color] he trailed off.

There wasn’t much time to plan or chat. Sooner or later the undead would burst in, and then they'd be in [i]serious deep shit[/i]. In even deeper shit. [color=AFEEEE]“Would you like to come with me or with one of the others?”[/color] he asked the short elf.

Whatever the girl decided, Sora stood up. First, he headed back to his room. He picked up the mirror, and cautiously moved over to the window. He opened it as carefully as possible, making as little sound as he could. [b]He hurled the mirror out of the window as far as it went.[/b] It landed in the distance with a crash. He wasn’t sure if that’d be enough to get the zombies off their backs, however. Either way, he closed the window once that was done.

[b]Next, he went on to explore the rest of the inn.[/b] He needed to know what this place looked like. Maybe he’d find something useful, too.
