Noemi tip-toed up the attic, and pushed open the door. Dust bunnies floated though the air, drifting and dancing in the summer breeze. All her older friends were out practicing archery and doing big kid stuff that seem too boring and unimportant for Noemi. So of course she was going to explore the attic, there was practically nothing else to do.
She hopped into the attic floor, cautiously observing the boxes containing mythical artifacts and spoils from monsters Noemi had only even heard about in books. The attic felt hot and stuffy and creaked with every step. Summer wasn't Noemi favorite season, she hated the feeling of the sun beating down on her back and the heat wafting from even the shadiest places. She leaned over one of the boxes and peered inside. An Arimaspi's eye lay inside, dried blood cracking on the bottom of the box. Noemi shuddered in disgust.
She moved on looking inside each box, her stomach recoiling at each spoil. Why would anyone ever keep such morbid things?! This is disgusting!
Suddenly she heard a noise behind her. Her muscles tighten and she stood, ready for one of the spoils to recreate to it's true form and attack her.
"I'm armed!" she squeaked, quickly grabbing a sword from a famous warrior Noemi had never heard of.
