The main character used in the first chapter is my character Soval.(https://www.sofurry.com/user/character/details?id=...)

I am very new to writing and this is actually the first time I really have ever publicly shared a story that I have written. All feedback and or criticism is welcome.

Introduction

Soval had been living in a trading town known as Glassdell for a few weeks now, and he was currently living in a small house inside the town. Glassdell was fairly close to one of the major cities of the area. This meant that a lot of traders and other people passed through the town.

And that meant word of Soval spread quickly, and this led to more people coming through the town. More people meant more business for the residents of Glassdell, and more business meant that most of the residents had a larger income which in turn allowed them to live a bit easier. Which meant that the town benefited from him being there.

Regardless of that, there were still people who hated Soval, and little did he know that one of those people had informed a nearby group of bandits/slavers that he was in the town. Most of the bandits/slavers did not believe it and thought it was a trap but a small group of them had decided to go to the town anyway just to see if this information was true or not. All of them were suspicious of this but they quickly came to a group conclusion that if this information did turn out to be true they could be in for one hell of a score.

*** (Soval's perspective)

Why does the sun have to be so damn bright... I rhetorically asked myself. I had just been rudely awoken by the sun shining through the window of my rented room. I turned away from the window trying to get the sun out of my eyes, I was only partially successful as the mirror opposite of the window reflected the light onto my eyes. I lay in bed for several minutes letting my mind rise to full consciousness before I got up. Once I was fully awake I sat up in bed and looked around the room. Seeing the wooden walls and the stained floor I had grown accustomed to over these past few weeks.

I then got up feeling the cold wooden floor against my footpads. Once I had gotten dressed I headed downstairs to the ground level of the Inn I was staying at. Looking around I saw a few familiar faces along with quite a large number of new people who I assumed to be travelers. Noticing that a large number of them were staring at me I immediately started feeling nervous. I then saw a large human walking up towards me. He stood at about 6´6¨. Once he got over to me I heard him say ¨Ah so you're the guy everyone has been talking about.¨ His voice was smooth and cocky. I could also smell the alcohol on the guy´s breath.

The man then began circling me and as he did I thought to myself. What the fuck is this creep want?~ As I was thinking this I instinctively tucked my tails against my back. A few seconds after I did this I felt him brush by my tails. He is about to grope me~ Exactly as I thought this I felt him grab onto my rear.

I then moved away from him while also quickly looking around for any familiar faces. Perhaps if I buddy up with someone this pervert will leave me alone~ I then saw an older dwarf. Quickly recognizing that it was my friend Thomar I quickly started heading over to him. Hoping that the sight of my friend would be enough to get the man to leave me alone.

The man was following me clearly was not ready to give up on achieving whatever the fuck his goal was. This caused me to feel a bit panicked and I said ¨M-morning Thomar.¨ At hearing my voice Thomar quickly looked over to me and said ¨G´morning kiddo.¨ his usual kind but also a rough expression on his face. When we made eye contact I saw Thomar nod. He then proceeded to pull out a chair for me to sit next to him. I felt relieved at seeing him recognize what was happening so quickly. A few seconds later I felt the man place a hand on my shoulder before he said ¨Would you mind joining me for a drink or two my furry friend?¨ His tone was calm and cocky, but it was clear by his lascivious expression that he wanted more than just a simple drink.

This caused me to say ¨N-no thank you..¨ at this I felt him get a bit annoyed before he said ¨Come on it's just a few drinks..I will even pay for all of them.¨ at this I heard Thomar say ¨Kid he said no thank you. And it's pretty obvious that you want more than a simple drink..so come out and say it in front of all of us or don't say it at all.¨ Thomar said this in his classic no-nonsense tone. I then sensed the man becoming angry just before he stalked off muttering under his breath as he did.

Thank the gods that he is gone~ I then looked at Thomar looking him over with a grateful smile. Seeing that the dwarf was not wearing his boots today I let out a small giggle. This is because without them he only stands at 4´8¨.

I then looked at Thomar and said ¨Thanks a lot for that. I don't think he would have left me alone.¨ My tone was filled with relief and gratitude. This caused Thomar to smile. He then lightly patted me on the shoulder before saying ¨It's no problem kiddo. After all, you did help me out a lot in my shop and forge yesterday.¨

Thomar is Glassdell´s master blacksmith and I had recently begun helping him out with moving things and cleaning up his forge. He had difficulty doing those things because of his age. Even though I never ask for anything in return for helping him. He always finds ways to pay me back for things I do.

¨So kid, are you planning on going back out into the woods today?¨ I nodded saying ¨Yeah. I found a cave yesterday and I was planning on exploring it today.¨ The dwarf let out a deep laugh before saying ¨Well then kiddo make sure to bring a pack with you then. You might need it.¨ I nod saying ¨Understood..well, then I will see you later.¨ I then got up and headed out of the inn.
