User blog:RedNSFW/Cursed Sword : What Would You Do? - Revised version

A slight modification of my first WWYD, with the biggest sentence that is even longer than before. I've added some details and a map of what I have imagined (though its render is awful, at least it gives an overview of the environment). I don't update it directly on the original post because one answer has already been made for it. Same disclaimer as for the first version, this is my first one, and I'm not a native English speaker. Nonetheless, I hope you'll enjoy it :)

Two days ago, monsters have started attacking the town you lived in. You have managed to flee the town's center after leaving early in the morning, and are trying to go to the nearest city, while avoiding any zone potentially filled with monsters. Right now, you are on the battlefield where the attack started ; hopefully (or not), the front has moved on towards the city since this morning, which means you have very little chances to get into trouble where you are. From time to time, you see some couples having fun on the field, but they don't seem to mind you. Yet, you move carefully, just in case there would be some unexpected wanderer still in the surroundings. You need to get to the forest in front of you, leaving the town behind. It has been almost entirely explored by adventurers who have returned three days ago, and said it is likely to be a safe zone.

It is almost dusk when you arrive at what looks like an improvised camp, with a small, half-destroyed cabin made out of tree trunks, sit there at the left of a pretty big crate that was used as a table and check your surroundings. Behind you is the city, and you see nobody chasing after you. Nobody seemed to have a crush on you back there, and even if they did, you would probably have been caught in only a few minutes, so you tell yourself not to worry about this. On your left, you see the almost empty battlefield spreading, and the forest far away. It would probably not be a good idea to try and go this way, for you are very close to reaching the forest.

Then you lean over the corner of the box to look right, from where monsters started attacking and see quite far in the distance under the grey sky some black, pretty massive figure emitting a faint red light standing up, turning right and now coming your way at a relatively slow but steady pace, but also catch a glimpse of a metallic reflection at its shoulder level thanks to the orange sunrays piercing through the clouds. Then you understand she is the monster observers told arrived this morning and went berserk looking for a husband, and allowed for the monsters to progress even faster towards the dwelling places : a cursed sword, wearing what could very well be a living armor. She cannot have smelled you, since the wind is coming from behind her. Maybe she wants to check if there is anybody left for her on the battlefield, even in this camp ?

You wouldn't stand a chance against her in battle, especially if she has an invincible armor, and her cursed blade would turn you into an incubus the moment she hits you. There is no need to mention she will probably spot you and hunt you down if you ever try to rush into the forest.
