As Asher looked up, he saw a much taller humanoid monkey with darker fur and vibrant pinkish-purple eyes that seemed to pierce through his soul. Damn i feel short ashen thought but on the out side Both stood there in silence until the other monkey heard the humas and grabbed Asher by his hand, this guy led him to any unknown destination. As they finally reached a clearing in the forest, Asher thought to himself, Shouldn't I resist? Why am I allowing this guy to drag me along? Well, it's better than dealing with the mob chasing us, I guess.

  As they had finally lost the human mob trying to kill them. “Who are you?” his deep, bitter voice cut through the silence as he looked at Asher with a stern expression. “You first!” Asher shouted. The man looked shocked but then replied, “Fine. My name is Cypher. And yours?” “Ashen...”

  No, my heart rate is up because we just ran a marathon. Marco also,your sound feminine why is your name Marco?

  //I like the name, that's all.//

  Ashen was snapped out of his thought by Cypher “Well then, Ashen, where is your tribe? You shoundt be aloneyounlessyou were kicked out.” The wind blew as his quick thinking and good acting skills activated. Ashen looked down with a pitiful expression. “They're all dead. Humans killed them. I'm the last survivor.” Tears filled Ashen's eyes in less than 5 seconds of saying these words.

  Cypher's brow furrowed slightly at Asher's words. His gaze softening for a moment, he took a deep breath and mumbled something and took a second to reply, “I see,” as he lowered his head.

  Thats fucking it?! I just gave him some random sob story, and he says,[I see.] Wow, just wow.

  Then Cypher looked up with a grim expression. “Come with me if you want to live.”

  What is this?! The fucking killer robot movie termanation.

  Ashen spoke, “Y-yes thank you.” his voice on the outside was sweet, but on the inside, he was screaming curse words at himself and everyone.

  Cypher looked surprised at the way ashen responded

  Ashen stood up only to realize that if he wanted to play it safe, fuck, i gotta act nice. Just use the only nice character you have ever played as a reference. Wait, wasn't he a twink?

  Oh fuck me, its to late now to change my fake personality now. Goddamit

  As Cypher tells Asherns, “I'll bring u to my tribe for now and talk to the elders council.” Then takes Ashern's hand and begins to guide him to this tribe, aka, safe heaven

  After an hour of uneventful walking with no talking between cypher or ashen, the only one talking was system who called itself Marco and it was informing ashen on the culture of beastmen finally arrived. Two guards were standing at the entrance of this wall of wood. “Halt,” the humondioad boar guard said before looking at Cypher. Both guards now stood in front of the door. Cypher only said one word that Asen couldn't quite understand or hear.

  What the fuck?! What did I get myself into? Is this some kind of cult?!

  Both guards nod and step out of the way.

  “Asher, you may now go in and wait for me inside.”

  Ashen nodded and walked slowly past the guards who were looking at him funny but let him pass

  When he got inside,

  Did it get tens times brighter, or is it just me

  Ashen blinked as his eyes agusted

  It's beautiful, this village striving with life and animal people of all kinds.

  He thought and couldn't help but be stuck in awe at this place's beauty and livelyness, children playing together without a care,

  An old woman's voice called out, “You should close your mouth deary its rude to stare”

  “Ah, sorry, I didn't realize I was staring.” Ashen turned his head to look at the woman to see an elderly armadillo with a rosy red shawl wrapped around her shoulders.

  “It's quite right, dear. Oh, me, where are my manners? I'm Maddie. But you can call me Madd for short.” Asher was quick in his response time

  “Oh, my name is Asher. But please feel free to call me Ash.” Suddenly, he heard someone behind him. “Ahem,” Cypher looked at Maddie then asher the spoke leaving asher in shcok “ i see you already met one of the five elders of the council, ashen.”

  Ashen nodded in response and pretended to look nervous. He fidgeted with his fingers.“Oh my deary, no need to be nervous, we will judge you honestly and fair and if u pass, you can stay.” Maddie gave a sweet, reassuring smile that only a loving grandma could give

  I kinda feel bad now for lying. Oh well.

  “So what happens now?” Asher smiled shyly as he asked

  Either I'm too good at acting or y'all are stupid, but let's be real, it's both.

  “So what do u think, Maddie?” Cypher asked

  //system notification//

  //Quest unlocked!//

  // You must try your best to pass the trial, you will get reworded with 50 p points //

  //P points = power, the more you have, the stronger you, the user can become.//

  Imma get a lot of p points.

  “ //so it should go well from what iv seen.” maddie had finished her sentence, Asher realized something important

  I wasn't paying attention?! What did she say I was so focused on winning p points that I didn't listen

  “ ok, then it is been decided. Asher will stay with me until the council is ready to see him.” Cypher's voice was stern and stiff

  Well shit
