You continue to head down the 'yellow brick road' so to speak when even more monsters these look like lions only they have the bodies of eagles and serpent like tails you are in shock
"Hold on aren't those-you know those things from Greece myth?" You ask reaching for your knife again but the young big boy named Rui(sorry best name I can come up with on such short notice) shook his head
"Won't do any good Sir! Manticores' skin is like dragon hide nothing short of a enchanted sword can pierce it besides they're far too powerful! Come on this way to my village its this way follow me!" He grabbed your hand and began to lead you towards a different pathway that just seemed to spring up out of nowhere and more Manitcores popped up some roaring and slashing at you with their claws,others spitting purplish fire or darting from tree to tree trying yo get at you bug the boy Rui kept them at bay by swinging his sword which for some reason they seemed to fear.
It takes a incredibly long while but the two of you manage to trek it towards his really small village where only a few people live and it appears to be what you expected a village to look like: all depressed and ruined with the people dressed in simple rags several of them come up to you begging for food to which you shake your head
"Sorry,so very sorry but I don't have any food sirs and miss if I did I would definitely give you some but so sorry I really have nothing to offer you." You said with compassion but Rui takes you to a really small house

"What do you think? It's because of these damn monster attacks sir! They strike here so often most of the people have fled to other parts of land or else(as tears fell from his eyes)are of course never seen again...alive...."
"Haven't you gone for support or help?" You asked
"What do you think I was doing in those neck of the woods? Asking people for help but none of them wanted to or were busy doing 'something else' all the knights anyway! But luckily my father and grandfather taught me in the ways of combat and mostly it's been me defending my village against monsters,bandits but alas I have a feeling I'm not going to be around for much longer if I don't get some help." Rui said also sitting down opposite of you
"I'll be glad to help out if I can!" You said without much thought to what you were getting into
"Really thanks but I think it would take more than just the two of us to defend this village!"
"Actually I'm sort of on a special quest myself." You informed him "If you would accompany me I'll be glad to return the favor by helping to protect your village."
"Ohhh in that case of course I will." Rui said getting up and shaking your hand as the two of you prepare to head out of the village you receive quite the surprise as.......
