Playful Attacker

~Playful Attacker

Once again it was another nice day at Sun Town. Fierra was walking across the town streets surrounded by cheerful and rich people. She had no time to slack though, after all she wanted to become stronger so once again she was headed towards Request Board, hoping that her last job didn't do much damage to job givers financial state. She didn't bother her head with that much since she didn't care at all, fighting with an ant was fun anyways.

After some minutes of walking she had finally reached the request board. She slowly walked up to it and started watching what kind of jobs there were. She slowly started mumbling job names to herself, "Exterminate 10 headed Pig, Walk my Dogs, Dang and Bang." she scratched her head a little. None of them suited for her when suddenly she noticed a job named 'Playful Attacker'. She decided to take it since she had to escort the merchant to Moon Town, maybe there were some better jobs.

She calmly grabbed the flier where was stated that the merchant would wait near town's exit, so Fierra was headed there. She was was walking at rather quick pace so no one else would take the job from her.
After some time she had finally reached the merchant. He had rather muscular body build, brown short hair. He was wearing white shorts, a white sleeveless shirt and a brown leather jacket over it. He looked like he was around 25 years old. He also had rather big carriage but no one to drive it. She slowly walked up to the merchant and said, "Hello. I am here for the job to escort you to Moon Town."

Merchant turned at and spoke, "What? A little girl? I have no use of you." Merchant's words made Fierra rather mad and she pointed her two fingers towards him like a gun and turned fingertips to flames. "You wanna go to Moon Town pops or rather hell?" Merchant started laughing, "Well at least you have confident. If we set off now we reach there at night... maybe later." He picked up his carriage and started walking out of the town on the road.

Fierra lowered her hand and slowly started following the man. "So where are you from?" asked the Merchant from Fierra. "My home." answered young girl. Merchant started laughing, "Well, anyways keep your guard up. Remember that you must protect me from monsters." Fierra ran before him and started leading. "Okay, I am Fierra Tempest by the way." Merchant nodded and told his name aswell, "I am Jack, Jack Trash." after that they started chatting quite freely and it was rather nice mood up there. Suddenly Fierra sensed another presence and increased her guard but still kept on moving without rising much suspicion, calmly waiting for someone to attack them.

After a few minutes, something could be heard in the back of the carriage. Something was in there and was making a mess of whatever was in the carriage. The carriage was moving a little slower as well as if something was weighing it down.

Fierra stopped and turned around, "Hold on a little and just in case walk away from the carriage." Merchant trusted the girl and ran some meters behind Fierra. Fierra sniffed the air a little and she could smell an unfamiliar scent, she didn't smell it strongly though since her sense of smell wasn't so developed. "Let's play who ever is in there." said Fierra with a tone that she was ready for anything. She already raised both of her hands, pointing her index and middle fingers towards the carriage like guns, slowly turning her fingertips into flames.

The carriage suddenly lost alot of weight and a small blur of gray shot past the carriage and into the bushes and away into the forest. It was a little big, but was more like a skinny, mini bear.

Fierra was little mad at the animal. "Guess you don't wanna play." said young girl. Merchant quickly ran to the carriage to check what was there. Luckily nothing seemed to be missing, things were just messed up. "Good that beast didn't take any." Fierra nodded, "This time I am going to walk behind the carriage." This time the merchant nodded and young Girl walked behind the carriage, following it once the merchant started pulling it again.

The grizzy watched them from a tree and when the merchant went past he quickly got down from the tree and entered the carriage from the front and knocked over something with glass in it. There was a large break and the beast got startled. It fled through the side of the carriage, ripping it open, and took back off into the woods before they had time to look in the carriage and see what happened.

Fierra quickly ran to the front again and saw Merchant down. "It came again." spoke the man. Fierra scratched back of her head, "OMG... Why didn't you call me?" asked young girl. Merchant stood up and answered, "I didn't notice it until I heard the noise." Once again merchant looked inside and a set of glass cup had been broken. "You didn't notice it... how senseless can you be?" Merchant only mumbled something by himself and started moving again. Fierra didn't say a word and this time he jumped on carriage, constantly changing the directions of her head so she would see all directions and this time catch the monster.

The Grizzy wondered where the girl could be. It looked around and didn't see her. So it approached from behind and hopped in the back. It didn't notice her and started sniffing around.

This time Fierra noticed the monster when it was approaching the carriage. She smiled but didn't make a sound, she just pointed both hands' index and middle finger towards the monster like a gun and quickly turned the fingertips into flames and sent several flame bullets towards the monster.

(hope you don't mind if I cancel your action of hopping into carriage.)

The monster jumped back but it was to slow. It yelped in surprise as it got hit. Singed hair could be smelt now, which seriously stunk. It's hair was gone on a few spots and those spots were cherry read. This had pissed it off. It growled at her and then charged toward the carriage.

Fierra quickly jumped up while yelling, "Back of a little mister." Suddenly young girl's feet burst in flame and she flew towards the monster with quite high speed. She placed her hands towards the monster and slowly turned them into flames, trying to ram into monster with his speed and start burning his fur so she could do serious damage to him. She was prepared to turn her whole body into flames too if the monster should attack her, she was rather annoyed by the smell though.

The Grizzy cried out in pain as it was hit, but as they went back it attempted to slash her arms and stomach with its four claws. It also attempted to bite at her face as she burned it.

Fierra made one last smirk for little time as she turned her whole body into flames, letting the opponent slice, bite and do anything with her he wanted. Of course there were some consequences, for example getting burned. As she was in her full fire form now she tried to finish it off quickly. Fierra attempted to place his arms around the monster, pressing her body against it's aswell, hoping that it would burn like crazy.

The monster attempted to bite her arm as deeply and hard as it could. If it was able to, then it would die within seconds afterwards. If she let go, it would still be alive, but barely. It wouldn't die without doing some damage. She would already have deep cuts on her arms and stomach.

Fierra didn't let go, she only smiled and whispered, "Having a good time playing with me?" into monster's ears. She then proceeded, "I have a good time with you, thanks for the nice battle." Fierra's smirk wasn't visible as she had completely turned into fire now, she attempted to rise her flame's heat as high as she could so the monster would let go already.

The creature looked into her face area with sad, lonely eyes before it's eyes closed and all the hair was gone from it. It's body became limp in her hands. All it had ever wanted to do was play because it had been lonely. It knew no better when it attacked the carriages. It saw it as playing. Now the Grizzy lay dead and charred in her arms. An innocent animal killed from a misunderstanding.

Fierra let go from the animal and slowly backed away, returning her body back to her normal form with some slight damage, "Well? Did you have fun then." It sat down and the merchant ran to Fierra with some bandages already, "Here, patch yourself up." said the Merchant. Fierra nodded and took the roll of bandages, starting to wrap it around her wounded place thinking if killing the monster was a right thing to do, maybe she shouldn't have killed the ant also. It made Fierra think a lot while they were moving towards Moon Town. After some time they finally reached there, Fierra got her payment and walked away from the merchant shouting, "Bye!"
