Marketplace, Kingdom of Valsyi
Mid-morning
Lieq lazily walked between stalls as the bustle of the market square gained more and more energy. The sun was finally starting to fully awake over the horizon, forcing merchants to face the truth of needing to earn another day's worth of bread, meanwhile Lieq had earned more than her share in the last two weeks. They were gaining so much bustle in fact that some of the stall owners were already trying to sell or con the cat woman out of her hard earned coin.
The agile cat certainly wasn't anything like a legendary figure or even really famous, but she was fairly well known within the area. If anything, she was known she being the adventuring type and good with her duel short blades, though admittedly she hadn't shown her true talent in some time - that would've brought on too much attention for her tastes. After all, she was a bit sick of attention, especially when it led to the feeling of being alone.
Still, only last week she had been escorting one of the richer merchants across the rocky hills that surrounded the kingdom of Valsyi, making rounds across all the outlaying villages. The merchant was an unusual type in Lieq's opinion. She was certainly a businesswoman and there was little doubt of that, but she was totally honest and even gave discounts to the really poor, which kind of made the cat like her a bit - though she had quickly dismissed any thoughts, like she did normally. No one ever really wanted her as it stood.
However they had been attacked by something a bit out of the ordinary... okay, a lot out of the ordinary. They had been magically-fueled golems made of copper and silver - the thing was, golems were an extremely rare art for anyone and to see what seemed like random golems roaming the countryside, that was enough to have the king send a few of his knights to investigate after the merchant had reported the situation (Lieq strangely never got the merchant's name). The cat could only thank the heavens that golems needed softer metals like copper and silver, otherwise magic had a hard time infusing itself, but it made them easier to damage and destroy.
