The voices are getting closer; you could hear them laughing. Anxiously, you ride into the right road, trying to calm your beating heart. Your face showed no emotion whatsoever though. You have to remember to be composed if they become aggressive. You have weapons, you would be fine...

"Hey! Hey you!" You almost turn your head but decide against it. Ignore them, you say, they might leave you alone. They laugh roughly and ride up next to you. They were grimy bandits, that much you could assume. This adventure could not have started as worse.

The man who rides besides you grins widely at the sight of a lone woman on a horse. A perfect victim, you realize when he speaks to you with an assumed innocent tone.

"Hey, girl, what are you doing all alone here?"

You glance at him and lie through your teeth, "I'm heading back home."

"Oh!" one of the men exclaims happily. "You won't mind if we strong men escort you, right? We know a short way to Kai."

The deal wasn't even tempting. "No thank you," you say coolly. You grip your reins tightly, anxiously.

"Oh come on...!"

You whip your horse and it sprints forward. It was best to lose them now. Quickly, they follow you, whooping. You're equally scared and disgusted.

"Come on honey! You don't want trouble with us!"

Well fuck you, you curse in your head darkly. You ride swiftly and decide to try and outrun them. One man decides to try and shoot your horse down. It luckily misses and you decide to take the initiative, anger burning your heart.

With your legs holding tightly onto your stallion, you aim backwards (with surprising accuracy) and shoot one of the five men down.

One down. Four men left. Nine Arrows remaining.

You know they are the Bandits of the Right Path.
