Chapter 6: Part 6 – Bandit Attack

A few hours later, Kira had collected some sticks from dead trees that would be enough to start a fire this evening. She went to check the clothes that she had left in the sun to find out that they were now mostly dry, they just had that rough feeling you get from line dried clothes.

‘I’m going to miss earth.’

She thought to herself. she wiped the single tear that had managed to escape from her eye. But now was not the time to mourn as she heard a loud explosion in the distance on the other side of the river and picked up the clothes.

Her eyes narrowed as she began to figure out what to do next.

‘That’s either a freak phenomenon of this world or there lies civilization.’

She picked up all the clothes and pouches that she had after taking off her boots and put them on top of her head as she began to cross the river. It only looked to be about a meter and a half deep as she waded through it while taking care not to slip on the moss coated rocks below.

After she made it across, she shook as much water off as possible and wringed out her hair. Afterward she slipped the shirt and boots on as she ran off In the direction of the explosion this had taken about a minute. After about another minute of running she started to hear shouts and cries of fight that sounded intense she ran for another three or so minutes.

The trees had began to thin for about a minute until she stopped and saw that she was now standing on an about ten meter sheer cliff made of a light brown rock and down below she could see a four open carts, two cloth-top wagons, and a wood and metal carriage that was painted a light blue. The carts and wagons were being pulled by horses but the carriage was being pulled by what looked to be…

‘Wait…are those raptors?’

She shook her head and look a down the road about fifty meters where the noise of fighting was coming from. She suppressed a gag as she just saw corpses strewn all over the road. Their looked to be about a dozen men a horseback some with bows others with sword, spears and other melee weapons.

It seems to be that bandits attacked this caravan.

‘Oh, well their idiots.’

She thought to herself while shaking her head after turning away and starting to walk back towards the river where the rest of her clothes were. She had read enough history books to know that what those bandits did was idiotic. Yes, they had attacked a numerically superior force but, the guards of the caravan seem to have all been trained to fight on horseback. And from the sound of the odd explosion, she assumed they had some form of sorcerer with them.

After walking back to the river she took off the shirt and boots. She then started to wrap one of the pieces of cloth tightly around her sufficient chest. And after slipping the shirt back on she wrapped the other two pieces around her feet, she had see how to do this after watching a YouTube video about how the some soldiers in Russian soldiers didn’t have socks and had to do portyanki or foot wraps after taking these to off the corpse’s feet she thought that this might be the normal for this world so she just follow the tutorial she roughly remembered.

She then put the trousers back on with the belt. Along with the boots and jacket. She also tied up her long black now tangled black hair into a ponytail with a strip of cloth she had ripped from her makeshift bra. And then walked back in the direction of the road.

She watched from a place slightly further along the cliff. She saw that the guards had moved all the bodies of the bandits to the middle of the road and they suddenly all burst into flames. She watched dazed for a moment then the smell reached her, and she couldn’t help but again turn around and as quietly as possible vomit. She guessed she had to stay hidden since she might be confused by one of the bandits.

She hid there for about five minutes until the bodies had stopped burning and then watched as the guards moved some of the debris out the way and then remounted their horses and motioned for the caravan to continue.

She was glad she had remembered how to wrap her feet or her soft and now scabbed feet would not have made the about five hour trek when she saw in the distance a gate along with about five meter high walls made of the same light-brown stone.

She smiled knowing what she would do next.
