[F01 | SP] Finding a helping hand <<Feeding the Enemy>>

[Runa 0]

It had been a few days since I had finished the first quest that hadn't been one of the tutorial quest together with Macradon, and I had decided that it was time to do some more questing and gathering, as I wanted to get a little bit of new equipment to become a better protector. After I had gotten the new Armour from Macradon and we had fought some creatures I noticed that it was nice and all, but that I wanted to have some more light armour to enhance my speed. The schooluniform was great for gathering and just basic out of combat comfort, but not what I would need as a full blown tank. Besides that I had learned from Macradon that one could get a pet that could help with fighting. He had had a three headed dog, that had helped fighting the nepents, so I wanted to have one too. 
I spent a few days gathering information on how to get a pet myself, and after talking to a few of the information brokers on the first floor I learned that there was a quest somewhere on this floor which would allow taming a wild animal to become a familiar. Once I had found out I dug deeper and learned that one had to find a possible partner, and that there were items that increased the chance of finding one, so I went to the seventh floor and bought one of the delicious looking garlic breads to help me with finding a friend, and increasing my chances of gathering materials on the way to where a friend could wait.

With all the preparation done I decided that it was time for me to leave the town at dawn, as I wanted to have as much time for finding a new friend as possible. I hadn't had breakfast, so the golden garlic bread had to do the deal. It was super delicious and I wished it wasn't that expensive, so I could buy more of it, but for now one was all I had. Eating the bread I left the town of beginnings and after a few minutes an old gypsy woman came towards me and mumbled something about her food being so good one could tame animals with it. I remembered that this was what the brokers had told me about, so I listened and nodded as she told me her story. In the end I smiled at her and she handed me the food, so now I was good to go.

I took the <<familiar food>> and instantly a I noticed a pop up appearing. I opened it with a swipe of my fingers and read the text, that told me I had just gotten a quest item and would now be able to accept the quest <<feeding the enemy>> so I closed the pop up and opened the menue with just a few more swipes in the air I saw the quest log infront of me. I noticed there was a tab that hadn't been there before, showing me pending quests, and once I opened it, the quest was right there.
I read the text, that told what I had to do and pressed the accept button once I was done reading. On the righthand side of my vision a small marker appeared and told my that my current objective was to search for a suitable companion and next to it it had a bar, that looked something like a loading bar. I did not know what it would show, but as it was part of the quest I would have a look at it every once in the while.

With the quest accepted I once again thanked the gypsy lady for the food and made my way towards the next foresty hill that wasn't to far off. I was not sure what kind of companion I would be looking for, but for sure the forest would be a good place to start looking for. While I walked through the forest I started noticing strange glowing tracks not to far off, and as I moved over to inspect them, they stopped glowing and the quest log updated, loading a few percent of the loading bar. - So it would be the progression of following my familiars tracks then - I thought as I looked for more of those tracks.

Following along a trail of glowing tracks that appeared every once in a while I travelled further into the woods and soon the light changed due to the change in trees around me. At first the forest had been nice and light with big beeches and showing their light green leafes and enough space between them so even grass was growing there, but now there was nothing of this. The ground was covered in spikey blackbery vines and it got harder for me to move along. Every now and then the vines made me stumble and I already wasn't so sure this was the way to go, but I continues following the track, now using the sugarcane to slice away the vines in front of me.
I must have made to much noise, fighting my way trough the undergroth, as I noticed a movement at the far left side of my vision and immideately turned towards it, just to see it being an ugly green goblin with some kind of hammer in its hand. The dirty green creature snarled at me, while it shifted the hammer from one hand to the other and while I was still hoping that it would go away it showed me that it wouldn't by running at me with the hammer high above it's head. I was not prepared for the attack, so  stumbled backwards a few steps and fell over some of the vines. The Goblin used the chance and swund the hammer at me, the weapon crashed into my side, but the armour was well made and blockt the blow nearly completely . Now it was my turn to attack, or at least I thought so, but when I was back at my feet the goblin had already jumped back, so the heavy blow of my axe hit nothing but the vines around me.

Enraged by my own mistake I grasped the weapon even harder and started to run towards the goblin that was still laughing with it's evil eyes focused on me. The attack he had landed before hadn't damaged me, so I was sure it wouldn't be able to land a blow that would actually hurt me. With this in mind I lost the fear I had when the monster first attacked and focused fully on attacking, swinging the weapon multiple times at the small beast, but the goblin either jumped away, or blocked the blow with it's heavy hammer. 
This was already getting really annoying, so I started to increase the speed of my attacks, but the mob still was quicker than me with the heavy armour I had just gotten, and when I had to take a deep breath before I was able to continue the attacks, the goblin saw the opening and jumped me with the hammer, hitting my left arm I had just raised to protect myself and I noticed my HP drop by the tiniest bit.

The fight was going on and I noticed that we moved away from where I had been going, as even with the goblin not really being a problem for my HP I instinctively tried to evade every attack it made. As soon as I realised this I changed my style of fighting a little, simply not going back anymore, but actually trying to move forwards with every attack. The red and white candy cane in my hand slashed the air before me as the goblin started to retreat, so my attacks weren't hitting anything, but at least we stopped moving away from the tracks I had started to follow. 

Once we were back where the fight had started I noticed the goblin appeared to be smiling and what ever it was that made him smile probably wasn't nice for me. So instead of pushing it further back I stopped my advance and simply started charging my swordskill. The glowing weapon couldn't await to connect with the goblin, but the creature was cautious and even when it started an attack it sidestepped my attack even though it had cost it it's hit as well.

We were still fighting around the place where the Goblin had appeared at first when I had a great Idea. I remembered, that I had stumbled over some of the roots and vines that were growing around, so I turned around and tried to look like I was running away, while I searched the ground for some more vines that I could use to make the Goblin stumble. At first I wasn't able to find any we hadn't already destroyed as our fight had gone one, but the I saw a string of vines that looked perfect. 
I ran over to them and in the edge of my eye I noticed the goblins movement as it charged in at me. I tired to jump aside, but the small mob was faster than me and the heavy weapon in my hands further hindered my movements. So before I reached the vines I got hit by a hammer and even though the damage it dealt was reduced to nearly none the power the attack had sent me flying a little bit away from the vines. I landed and cough a few times before I turned to the goblin and tried to attack it once more just to get knocked out of the attack by another blow of the hammer.

My candy cane was pushed aside by the goblins hammer as it had blocked my last attack and I was barely able to push back at it to prevent it from hitting me in the stomach. As soon as I had pushed it away I jumped back and started running again, but this time I actually reached the vines and jumped over them, turning around in mid air and started to charge the swordskill once again. The weapon started glowing and I stumbled a few steps back, so the goblin would have to move through the vines to reach me. The goblin looked at the glowing weapon and I could see that it wasn't going to follow me as long as it had to block one of my heavy attacks. 
That was the moment I remembered that most of the skills damage wasn't from the weapon hitting the opponent, but from the shockwave hitting them, so I released the attack towards the goblin and the small creature jumped back a little to evade the axe, but the shockwave hit it and sent it flying back a few meters. I quickly used the time I had before it would be at me to go into a defensive stance and await the monsters next attack. The goblin who's HP bar had dropped by a fifth charged in at me, stumbled over the vines and fell to the ground, but the hammer still hit my leg, as I hadn't been able to block the way o low attack.
