(The scene begins with an open shot of the waxing moon shining its light upon an open plains, with what appears to be the borders of a city off into the distance. When suddenly loud neighs are heard tearing through the silence of the night sky, as the scene then cuts to Itally facing off against a large boar.)
"What, why a sudden attack at this time of the night, this route should be devoid of nocturnal beasts?" Itally thinks, as he examines the creature in front of him, he realizes, "A Razor boar! That's a tier 5 beast. They are normally diurnal. Why in the world would one be active right now?".
The Razor boar then begins to charge towards the carriage, and the horses begin to shake in fear, Itally then leaps out towards the boar with his lute in hand as he prepares to battle.
"I have to take this fight elsewhere." He thinks as he looks at the carriage behind him.
He then runs off the road away from the sleeping passengers. Itally takes a deep breath as he locks eyes with the beast. They both stare each other down with rage filled eyes. The boar then rams itself towards Itally, but before it could make contact, the sound of strings being plucked is heard as the beast's head makes a forced strike towards the earth, despite the great impact the attack had, the boar gets up in a matter of seconds and continues its assault towards Itally, but just like before all its attacks are redirected towards the environment, from trees to boulders the boar smashed everything as it was already under the command of Itally's melody, and with one final crash, the boar is left badly bruised with a broken horn.
"Why don't you give up already, I don't want to have to end you, so please just stay down." Itally pleaded with it, but his words fell on deaf ears as the Razor boar got back up with bloodshot eyes as it looked at Itally from the bottom of an impact crater.
"Bloodlust, eh, that's going to be a problem, I guess it's time to go on the offensive." He says as he readjust his lute strap.
(The scene shifts to show 10 pairs of eyes looking on at the battle about to ensue, 3 of which appear to be the shadowy figures from before, 6 appear to be of similar appearance to the Razor boar, and lastly a pair of crimson red eyes, before the focus is shifted towards the two.)
The boar charges right at Itally with all its strength, Itally responds with the play of a note. The boar expecting a redirection stiffens its neck in prevention,but it is suddenly hit in the face by what seems to be a quaver.
"Haha, not what you expected, right? I'll no more be redirecting. Instead, I shall bombard you with a symphony of attacks, but it's nice to see you learned a bit, even if it was too late." Itally said as he chuckled at the stunned boar.
The battle continues as both strike and doge each other's attacks, but the beast is clearly inferior. Upon realizing its predicament, it starts rearing up as its horns begin to glow a bright red.
"The Razor boar's signature move, 'Searing Horns', an attack so fast it causes severe friction burns, I'll need to counter with a big one." He said as he started rapidly stringing his lute as it began charging mana for its next attack.
The boar, with every last ounce of strength, bolted towards its assailant. All that could be seen was a blur followed by a streak of red, Itally released his attack as well. This time, a semibreve, it flew through the air towards the boar, damaging and slowing it down, but it wasn't enough. The boar still had a straight collision course towards Itally. CRASH!!! The boar had made contact with its target, and a big cloud of dust arose.
As the dust cleared, the boar can be seen laying lifelessly on the ground with a compressed skull, and Itally can be seen sitting at the base of a tree, badly injured and bleeding as he groans in pain, "Arggh, Gaia!, my arm's all broken." He said while holding onto his left arm on which was minor first degree burns.
"Good thing I used a rest in the very last second. It must have been an alpha." He says as he thinks back to the last attack, where just before the boar collided with him, he strung his lute once again, firing off a rest symbol.
"I hope 'Grecca' is not damaged." He said as he inspected his lute for any damages. He then sighed in relief as it was completely unharmed.
(All the eyes can be seen looking at the climatic end of the battle, with the beastly ones appearing to be enraged by the outcome, the shadowy figures are surprised, and the red eyed spectator seems disappointed.)
"Woohoo, you did great. Itally, your powers are so cool." Fyllu cheers for Itally as she pops her head out of the carriage with her grandparents watching from behind in awe.
"Thanks, I did my best. Too bad I woke you all up." He responded with a smile.
Suddenly, a loud rumble is heard as six more Razor boars jump onto the road ahead, with all of them preparing their very own Searing Horns attack.
Itally shouts towards Fyllu and her grandparents, "The first one was an alpha. You've got to run far away from here."
Fyllu responds, "But what about you? What's gonna happen to you? Save yourself, you're on a quest right, you don't wanna die so early into it."
The grandparents agree with her and say, "Please save yourself and our grandchild. You all have your whole lives ahead of you."
The boars have all charged up all their attacks and begin rearing up to ram into everyone, "It seems I'll have to rip the strings, doesn't it."
Itally thought to himself, but before he could do anything, the boars launched their assault, several streaks of hot red can be seen charging towards them, but in a split second a shadow with bright red eyes is seen leaping past the small family towards the bolting beasts and in the blink of an eye there was nothing left but minced meat and atop the pile of flesh stood Ra'ell.
As the moon started to set and the sun rose, Ra'ell said, "Did y'all really forget about me? These were nothing, I'm really disappointed in ya, Itally, for something this weak to leave you like that, tsk tsk tsk, pathetic."
Fyllu can be seen staring up at him with wide eyes and her jaw touching the ground. She had never seen such an upclose display of overwhelming power.
"Thank you very much, we are so grateful." the old couple says with tears in their eyes as they feared that would be their end.
"Whoa, Ra, you are super strong, you beat six of what Itally fought without even breaking a sweat, one day I'm gonna be a pirate queen that's super strong like you, believe it." Fyllu cheered in admiration.
"Yeah, he is super strong." Itally thought as he looked at Ra'ell as the first rays of sunlight shone on his face.
(The shadowy figures are left in awe as one says to the others, "We must report this to the boss.")
About an hour later, the group is seen riding into two enormous gates with a sign saying, 'Dawnsreach, Valmorra'. As they enter the city, a man in a white suitis welcoming them into the city.
"Ahh, Mr. and Mrs Vegoya, I see you have returned safe and sound. One of our guardsmen had reported hearing loud monstrous noises in the middle of the night, I'm glad to see you arrived in one piece." The man said.
"Oh, mayor Brohas, we only have these two contestants to thank for our safe arrival, thanks to them all of us, and the goods arrived without a scratch." Mr. Vegoya said as he stretched his hand towards the duo.
"Contestants, you say, thank you so much, I will most definitely give you two my vote of thanks, and the two of you can feel free to explore the city however you like." The mayor said as he shaked their hands in gratitude.
"You, the injured one, you can proceed to the nearest hospital and get treated by our professional healers." He continued.
"Thank you, sir. We shall do just that, Ra'ell shall attend to matters concerning the vote while I go get myself treated." Itally said as he held his arm in pain.
"Mummy!,Daddy!" Fyllu suddenly screamed as she ran into the arms of two people who appeared to be her parents, with the woman having a similar appearance to the old couple.
"Mummy, these two men fought all the crazy strong monsters easily. They were all super cool and stuff, and I'm gonna be just like them, believe it." She said as she pointed at the two adventurers.
"Thank you for watching over our daughter and parents. We shall be eternally indebted to you." The father said with a warm smile.
"It was really trouble at all." Itally replied while Ra'ell turned his face away as he tried to hide the dour expression on his face.
"Alright then, I'll be going with the mayor now, Itally, you go get yourself patched up. Remember, we want a headstart, so we can't spend too much time anywhere." Ra'ell spoke while walking towards the mayor.
"You're right. I guess we'll be going now, bye everyone." Itally replied as he waved the Vegoya family.
"Bye!, come visit okay, next time we meet, I'll be just as strong as you, maybe even pirate queen, believe it." She said with a cat-like look on her face as she waved back. Her family chuckled as they waved in unison.
(After exchanging goodbyes, everyone went their separate ways, as the scene pans out to show an overview of Dawnsreach, and the three shadowy figures can be seen just outside the walls.)
