Planet Tetro ~ Page 64

During the bull mole’s 3rd charge I dodged him again . This time it was just barely though .My shirt was slightly ripped by his horns this time . That means he sped up again . Practice is starting to get dangerous but I have a feeling that the bull can move a little faster to reach his max speed .On the next charge I’ll take that into consideration . Woosh! He launched his body and horns at me once again , this time hurtling at me at dangerous speeds . I dodged and then the bull smashed into a tree . Knocking himself out . Well I thought at least I got some dodging practice !

I decided to pack my things up and head to the west gate . I was able to practice for an hour and I still was going to be there early . We still had about an hour before sundown . I can take this chance to see who else will be accompanying us on this revenge mission .

When I got there I noticed a familiar face waiting in the small group that was posted . She waved at me and said hi . I returned the greeting and said hi back to her . She was a tall older bat lady with long white dreadlocks . They called her the witch of the forest . She’s one of our top adventurers and she helps out at the hospital part time . I didn’t know much about her . Other than the fact that she’s a great healer who’s also strong at fighting . If I recall correctly her name is Lillandra . There was a Doberman guard holding a paper so I assumed that I would have to check in with him . Sure enough as soon as he noticed my presence he came walking towards me telling me to check in . He looked at me and said check in . I said , “ Bright pro adventurer checking in Sir .” " Good ," the guard said before I signed my name on the attendance paper . " Half of you are already here ." The guard continued to say . " I would walk around and socialize with your teammates for this mission ." He then walked off and went back to where he was standing before .

I decided to go have a more formal conversation with Lillandra first . Especially because she and the guard were the only ones to greet me when I arrived . That’ll be the easiest person to approach for now . I walked up to her and said hi again . “ Hello Lillandra ? I said half knowingly . “ She nodded smiling so I continued to carry on . “ You have way more status than me so I’m not sure you know my name , like I know yours . It’s Bright .” She nodded in agreement with me and said . “ Hi bright, nice to meet you “ . She had a pleasant yet powerful presence to her . She also smelled good , she had a sweet fragrance to her . As if she spends all of her free time baking sweets . ( They have sugar in this world too , she has a sugary sweet smell to her . )

We had some small talk before I decided to go meet some other people . I really could’ve sat there and talked to her until we left . She had that safe motherly vibe to her that I haven't experienced since the loss of my mother . The fact fact that Goldy and Sylvi can probably beat me and John or Bulls Eye 2 on 2 might show credence to the same theory !
