Ficool

Chapter 3 - Ch2. First encounter

The sound of claws scraping on rock alerted me of their approach. I looked away from the screen only to note that it closed automatically after I turned my attention elsewhere.

Pushing that to side I focused on the approaching figure. The cave I was in had only one opening leaving me trapped at a dead end. Luckily the walls had crevcices big enough for me to squeeze into.

Not daring to wait in plane site I hid in the crevcice waiting to see who or what had come.

An orange glow bled from the cave entrance walls. Soon a figure entered, he looked just like me except he carried a torch in one hand and a crude stone spear in the other. He also had a belt with pouches worn like sash. But the biggest difference were their eyes. Their eyes seemed empty as if they were missing something.

I observed him closely from the shadows trying to figure out what was missing. The Kobold looked around the room as if looking for something. 'Could he be looking for me' I thought.

As I watched I felt something click in my brain and information appeared.

Race: Kobold

Level: 1 (Locked)

HP: 100%

Threat level: Medium

It's race was no surprise to me but the other information was interesting. Unfortunately I couldn't afford investigate fully during this time so I pushed it to the back of my mind for later.

The Kobold began walking deeper in the cave stopping were I awoke earlier. It suddenly started hissing and making clicking noises. I some how understood their meaning. "Were is food. I put food but food now gone".

I was both surprised and horrified. Surprised by its manner of speaking and horrified of what it's words meant. This guy was planning to eat me. That erased any hope of this guy being friendly.

The Kobold began to sniff the ground as if trying to pickup my cent. Realizing that I was about to be discovered I was forced to make a choice. Either make a run for it and hope their wasn't more trouble waiting outside or attack while he still had the element of surprise.
