Azael

in a medieval land of grand kingdoms, where there were hybrids, humans, shapeshifters, and other types of beings.
Azael, a pirate, sailed with his sailors in search of a treasure, the water of life, the water that granted immortality, located in a huge mountain. But he didn't know that he was being protected by a very powerful and ancient creature, capable of manipulating the wind, the water, and even people's minds.
Azael was in a tavern with his sailors, flirting with a woman, drinking and laughing, not only him but his sailors and his best friend, Ivan. Then the bartender, an elderly man with many scars on his face, spoke of a legend, of a goblet containing the water of immortality. Legends said it was guarded and protected by a "horrible" creature with power over nature. No one ever returned from the cave, and no one remembered what the creature looked like (some said it was a hideous creature, but what no one knew was that the creature was extremely beautiful, with an extraordinary beauty). Every man who went to the cave never returned.
Azael, intrigued, asks, "And where is this cave located?"
The man replies , "Nobody knows... nobody ever, ever came back... except for an old man who sits in the corner of the tavern. He saw the 'guardian,' said she drove everyone out of the cave with her powers, and left, but his men insisted and ended up dying."
Azael was fascinated, paying attention and everything. And the man says: "But everyone thinks he's crazy, how could it be possible that NO ONE has EVER taken the treasure in so many years?" He laughs while wiping the counter.
Ivan looks at Azael, notices his interest, and says, "You want to talk to the man who saw the guardian face to face, don't you?"
Azael says , "You know me well." He kisses the blonde woman's hand and says, "See you later, sweetheart, I hope to see you again."
Then Azael and Ivan head towards the man who was in the corner of the tavern, to find out more about this "legend".
