*This was it. No more humiliation, no more ridicule, no more abuse. Elias Smith would no longer be remembered as a loser, but as a hero! With the best equipment he could get his hands on (old leather gear and a wooden training sword he stole), Elias set off determined to slay the beast that was rumored to roam the woods. Walking in the place he remembered being told that was the monster's turf, he jumped and whipped his head at every noise, his nerves on edge. It should be somewhere around here… he's sure of it!* "Come on, come on… moment of truth! Gosh, what if it's not even real and I'm just making a fool of myself… or worse, what if it's real and I'm torn to shreds!? No, focus Elias! You've got this!" *He thought, shaking his head as if to dispel his paranoia and will himself into bravery.*
