Chapter 3 - First Fight?

While staring at the bigger tent while my vision changes I could see 2 reddish dots start to appear,

"Is that...is that their hearts??"

Two red dots slowly came into my vision but they were moving, or should I say beating?

The more I focused on them the more details I could see, After a few seconds the thin veins connected to their hearts pumping blood through their bodies came into view, I could see two silhouettes inside the tent, one was rather large, If i had to guess I would say they were around 7 feet tall with a very muscular build, unfortunately all I can see is their outlines I'm unable to see any details about the figure aside from their size.

Following the way the large figure was looking I could see a rather short and slender framed outline that seemed to be sitting on the floor with their back against the wall, the noticeable difference between the two had to be their hearts beats, the larger one's was rather steady, beating almost excitingly, The other one however was beating fast, not how it would if you were excited but, Scared, Terrified.

I broke my concentration returning my eye sight to normal, I was currently standing in the treeline to the side of the tent, from what i just seen the other smaller tents were all empty.

Sighing, I looked down at my small pale hand's and quickly made a fist,

"I might not be much of a fighter but I'll be damned if I just pass by someone in trouble"

Staying crouched down close to the ground I made my way across the clearing stopping just beside the bigger tent, I staying crouched down I was now a few feet from the opening of the tent, I could now hear a couple voices coming from inside the tent

"S-stop.. p-please, just let me go" said a shakey sounding feminine voice

"After all the effort I went through to capture you I wont let you go so easily, relax a bit sweetheart and you might just enjoy it" Replied a deeper, rougher voice.

"Oh god... I can only imagine what is about to unfold inside this tent if I don't do something" I thought to myself

I had nothing with me except the clothes on my back glancing around me there was nothing, no weapons near the other tents, hell i couldn't even find a decent sized rock, why the hell was this place so spotless!?

I furrowed my brows trying to think of a way i can help this women my eyes suddenly widened I remembered seeing on my on my status panel that I had magic!

"System! I remembered seeing dark magic on my status panel how do I use it?!"

[Normally you would have to chant an incantation of the spell you want or if you have a certain degree of mastery over the element you can cut out the incantation all together, In your case you can use incantation or you can use your mind to envision and shape the magic how wish although doing it this way will increase the mana usage]

"Got it envision what I want.. that can't be to hard right?" I mumbled to myself

[For this specific instance I would recommend using 'Dark Spear' it will summon a simple small spear made of dark magic that is capable of being thrown]

Ah thanks again system,where would I be without your help

I put my hand away from my body with my palm facing to the sky an said

"Dark Spear"

I could feel a tiny bit of energy leave my body, in the same instance I solid black spear materialized, floating just inches from my hand, The spear pulsed and hand and almost black mist coming from it.

OK as cool as this magic is now isn't the time to be playing around with it,

I thought it myself

I don't know much damage this will do but if it doesn't kill him I can always run away, I'm confident in my speed and at the very least ill be a decent distraction for her to escape.

Without thinking anymorei stood up and Using my speed I sped to the entrance of the tent With every intention to hurl the spear at the man, I looked inside and was shocked and confused about sight that awaited me

Standing there was the 'Man' i had come to stop but after seeing him i could see he wasn't a man at all. He had greenish yellow skin, 2 little horns sticking out of his forehead, A almost square shaped face and jaw line with 2 tusks sticking up put of his bottom jaw.

Seeing me appear in the doorway his eyes widened, he pointed at me and was about to say something. Seeing him notice me I panicked, glancing at the spear in my palm I threw it as hard as I could at his chest, like a rocket flying through the air It pierced center of his chest with such speed that he was unable to react to.

All he could manage to do was look down at the hole in his chest before before collapsing onto the ground, Before I had time to take in what I had done I message appeared at the center of my vision

[Orc warrior slain, 300 Experience rewarded]

[Congratulations your level has increased from 1 - 2]

[Congratulations your level has increased from 2-3]

I'll have to check out what happens when I level up later also,I glanced back at orc's body studying it a little closer,

"So this is what you call an orc huh"

Cutting off my train of thought i heard the familiar feminine voice

"T-thank you for saving me... i don't want to imagine what would have happened if you weren't here"

I moved my attention from the orc over to the girl that was still sitting in the spot she was before.

The first thing that caught my eye was how beautiful she was,

A slender frame about the same height as me, light blond hair that went just below her shoulders, long pointed ears were sticking out of her hair, looking down at her body I seen a dark green dress with golden accents hugging her curves in all the right places ending just above the knee, moving passed how beautiful she was another thing stood out to me.

She was injured, cuts and bruises covered her arms and exposed legs, her beautiful blond hair was a mess, looking at her face I noticed a pair of gorgeous emerald eyes staring back at me expectingly.

Speaking in my mind i asked

"Hey system is there a way I can heal her? With magic or something??"

[By using the spell 'Blood Mend' from the blood magic you possess you are capable of healing her wounds]

"Got it, thanks again friend"

Without saying anything its stuck out my hand towards her and muttered

"Blood Mend"

Unlike before when I felt energy leave my body this time I didn't, instead I felt a different part of me being used to fuel this magic. It'll be worth looking into this later.

A red glow came out of my hand and encased the girl she gasped softly and shut her eyes as her body was encased in a almost cocoon red light.

After a few seconds she opened them again to see she was completely fine, in fact she was like new! Every cut and bruis on her body and been fixed leaving behind no evidence they were ever there. Stunned from what just happened she blinked a few times and finally spoke

"Who are you??"

"My name is Lucy, I happened to be passing by when i noticed what was transpiring here and couldn't simply ignore it" I replied a bit relieved, I don't know how common magic is in this world i was hoping she wouldn't be afraid of me,

I walked towards her extending my hand to help her onto her feet, she reached up, grabbed my hand and I pulled her to her feet. Just then a sudden shock way hit me, my body got hot, my hand tightened its grip on hers, I could feel my fangs start to Protrud out.

It was then that I realized it,the energy that the blood magic used, it was related to the blood I drink.

As I finished that thought the sensation of my throat clouded my mind, it felt like sand paper.

Looking at the girl I had tightened my grip on the only thought that was going through my head was,

I. Am. Starving
