Well, her luck wasn't in the best of favors here, and that part royally sucked for her. But still, she was determined and that was something that someone wouldn't be able to take from her. Even if she is stuck in this death game. Neph sighed as she walked, wondering what all she was going to have to sacrifice to be able to finally finish this quest? That was when her questions were answered, or so she hoped. In front of her was a pair of wolves, and neither of them seemed to notice her. So, the first thing that she did was charge forward with the full intent of using Heft on the first one, only for the wolf to notice her and easily move. Well, that figures. She watched the two wolves as they turned their attention on her. But what she didn't expect to happen was for them both to try and pounce on her at the same time. This resulted in them instead pouncing on each other and getting even more mad, but hopefully at themselves.

Okay Neph, let's get your head back into the game. You have a couple of wolves to take care of, which you can't do if you're wondering if they are mad at each other. Obviously, they aren't since both of the wolves were soon refocused back on Neph, staring daggers and glaring death. If looks could kill, these two wolves would have murdered Neph just now. So, here she was, being glared at my two wolves, and she wasn't even sweating. Just a normal day for the calm woman wasn't it. She took her time to think, and the moment that she had her attacked planned, she launched forward, her spear immediately stabbing right into the wolf's rib cage. It yelped in a panic and in pain before it tried to leap at her, only to fall from the failed leap.

The second wolf though, seemed to just be staring in shock at what had just happened. It was shaking and in fear, was this just a young wolf? If that is the case, the poor thing chose the wrong day to be out learning to prowl.

Two angry wolves and a tired spear holder. Yeah, this was already an interesting fight on it's own. Not only did she not exactly have the energy to be fighting like this (thank you writer), she was just tired of not finding anything but angry animals. Those obviously weren't the animal that she was supposed to tame. Now, what she didn't expect to happen right as she went to attack the wolf, was for a bear to go running through the area. It ran right past her, but she noticed that someone else was chasing after it. Well, that didn't help her own fight now did it? Actually, it did. Not only did she miss because of a miss step from the sudden intruders, but the wolves froze up for a moment. It was almost as if they were wondering if they were about to be attacked by more than just this lone woman. Wouldn't that have been helpful?

She watched the surrounding area, and the wolves did too it seemed like. Once all three of them were certain that the bear and it's 'friend' weren't coming back, the battle was back into full focus. That was an odd little distraction don't you think? Nephthys focused her sights on the wolf that she had been previously hitting, it was time for this fight to come to a closing end, of two dead wolves and a surviving Nephthys. But to do that, she needed to land a hit first. Either way, she quickly moved forward and thrusted the spear tip into the wolf's chest and she watched as a chunk of health left the wolf. The wolf was so startled that it stumbled back a few steps instead of coming at her to attack. But it was the second wolf who thought that it was going to hit her, at least, until Nephthys pushed it back with the butt of her spear's pole.

Okay, one wolf was almost dead. She knew that this was going to end soon enough, just as long as the thing actually died and the second wolf didn't try to kill her in the process. Wait, it would take a lot for these wolves to try to kill her between her thorns and her mitigation. Hey, that's good news for her at least. Bad news for the wolves. So, lunging forward once more, she stabbed the first wolf right in the side, and the moment the tip of her spear got stuck in the wolf's body, she watched as it's health drain to nothing, then a cloud of fragments, releasing her spear to her. The wait for that to happen though left her wide open for the lunge from the second wolf, and the moment that happened, she was on the ground using her spear to push a wolf off of her. Stupid wolf...

One wolf left, and it wasn't a happy wolf. But then, who would be happy to have watched their buddy turn into fragments of death? She sure wouldn't. Either way, she was staring at this wolf as she tried to see what it was thinking. Obviously, it was thinking of revenge, but there was no true way for her to be able to deal with that at the moment. Mainly because she was quickly stabbing the tip of her spear into the wolf's flank as it moved. The moment her spear touched the wolf's flank, the wolf lunged at her, tackling her to the ground and biting her arm while clawing at her stomach. Ow. She quickly pushed the wolf off as she rolled back to her feet. Okay, this wolf was going to die now. Well, that was guaranteed, but now it was going to happen sooner than Nephthys was thinking because the woman was getting mad, and mad was not pretty with a large spear.

Once she was settled back on her feet and her spear gripped tightly in her hands, she stabbed at the wolf, the tip of her spear nailing the wolf right in the face. Now, this did some damage, but the wolf wasn't dead yet. In fact, it seemed to be a little more angry at her, so much so that instead of leaping at her, it lunged for her leg and took a bite of her leg. Only to be hit with thorns and the last of the health that the wolf had left was gone. Then the wolf was gone. This was starting to become more of a hindrance than a help while hunting down this familiar of her's. Either way, she looked at the loot that she got and she was starting to add things up. She was going to be set for crafting for a while if she actually did go to become a cook.

It was time for a little break, and that was what she was going to take. Knowing that the wolves were gone was the good part, because she knew that nothing else was going to be coming by just yet. So that was going to give her a few minutes to actually just sit down and relax. She needed to regain some of her energy anyways and where better to do that than to sit on the log that was right next to her? She sighed as she sat down and she looked at Spartan, such a trusting spear that she had in her hands right now. She knew that she was going to be going back to that blacksmith, mainly because the gear that she bought from him as actually been helping her with basically everything right now. She could have been dead, but not thanks to this stuff.

She sat there for a few more moments, thinking on what she was going to do. As she thought, she knew what she was going to train this familiar to do, if she was to ever find one. She was going to make the familiar a fighter. Help her fight things, make them die faster. For keeping herself alive, she can rely on her gear for that, and maybe gets some trinkets to help her with her accuracy. She sat on this log, just thinking over how she could go about building things for herself to make staying alive in here just that much easier. Of course, it wasn't completely easy, mainly because things were constantly changing in a game that was built around death. She sighed as she pushed herself up and off of the log. She wasn't going to find anything just sitting on the log now was she?

She grabbed her spear from the ground as she stood and she started to walk once more. She didn't know which direction she had come from at this point, but there was no way that this forested area was that large, so she knew that she was going to get out of here. It just might take her forever at least. But that just gives her a little more time to go ahead and attempt to find this darned familiar now doesn't it? She walked and walked though, walking in a straight line, or at least, so she thought. Did this forested area of her's have some kind of enchantment on it to make her get lost? Because that is how it was feeling at the moment. Wait, wasn't that the log that she had just been sitting on? She really was walking in circles, what the hell was going on here? This isn't fair to the poor child.

Her confusion as to where she was was getting a little irritating. This was mainly because she was certain that she had been in this exact spot, just mere minutes before. But those thoughts were soon stopped no matter what, because she heard a roar. Not a roar, roars are bad. Roars mean bears. Bear mean that people are going to be thrown into a tree. She spun around, only to see not just one bear, but two. Great, two bears found her while she was lost in this forested area. This wasn't going to be fun was it? She sighed as she started to channel Heft, knowing that she was going to need to get a leg up on these two bears. As she charged the first bear, she made a diagonal slash through the bear. Health left the bear's bar, sweet, and the surprise attack even seemed to startle the bear into not being able to attack.

The second bear though, it took this as it's moment to hit Nephthys. The hit? A claw to the middle of her back, pushing her to the right as well as forward a few steps.

So, that bear that she hit, yeah, it wasn't so happy right now. In fact, it was kind of mad at her, and it was already charging. So, instead of being able to actually stab the bear with her spear like she had been in the process of doing, she was trying to move. Only that failed when the bear managed to still clip her with his swiping claw, smacking her right in the gut. That didn't feel good, and it made her stumble backwards a few steps to try and get away from it once more. What was with things and hitting her when they were mad? This didn't seem entirely fair really.

But while she was moving backwards from the first bear, it made it so she actually managed to dodge the second bear's attack. That was nice for her, that meant that she wasn't going to get hit again in the moment.

Round...okay she lost track with all of the fights that she has already been in today. Either way, she had a new found vendetta against these bears, they really just wanted to hurt her, and well, the feeling was mutual at this point. She lunged forward the thrust the tip of her spear into the bear again, only for the thing to move just in time to be missed. As she turned to move away from it to dodge an attack, it seemed to read her movement for the bear hit her from behind instead. She felt it's claw connect to the back of her right shoulder, only for the bear to lose it's own health from the attack, then it was gone in a cloud of fragments. Sweet, one bear down, one to go. But it seemed like watching it's partner turn to fragments scared the bear, for it stopped in it's tracks, not hitting her at all.

Her gaze went to the second bear who seemed to be too shocked to hit her just now. Perhaps she should take that and make it an advantage for herself? That sounded like it would be a glorious idea. At least, until the bear moved right as she thrusted the spear's tip at the bear. So, it wasn't true shock, it was feigned shock. Well, who knew that a bear could be that smart? She certainly didn't, at least not the bears in this darned game. So what did the bear do in return? It smacked the woman right into the tree that was behind her. With her back hitting the tree and a branch smacking her head in the process, she swore under her breath. But, she watched as the bear's health drop when it hit her, and she couldn't help but laugh at that little factor. It hit her, and still lost it's own health, who wouldn't find that funny?

Nephthys stared at the bear, her back still against the tree. How in the heck was she supposed to kill this bear, if it was apparently faster than herself? She didn't think that it was right or fair, but hey, it's a video game that she is stuck in until she either dies for good or the floors are beaten. Huh, that just took a morbid turn for a moment there. She pushed herself off of the tree and she quickly charged for the bear, only for it to instead bat her to the side instead of letting her hit it. She grumbled as she rolled onto the ground and she looked around. There had to be something around here that was going to help her with this bear. Otherwise, this just might take forever to deal with because, let's face it, RNG was not being kind to her on this day.

At this point, she just had the feeling that she wasn't going to be hitting this bear at all, so she opted to just take her spear and toss it at the bear. Since it was a two handed spear, it wasn't meant to be thrown, and the showed the moment that it just fell to the floor. She knew that it was going to happen, she was just hoping that the next hit that the bear did on her was going to be the one that killed the bear. One could hope right? She watched as the bear started to run toward herself, and she wet to dive for her spear, figuring that it should still be in her hands. But instead of her getting to it, the bear ran right into her, pinning her against a tree. It looked like the bear was about to swipe at her, until it turned to fragments from it's hit on pinning her to the tree. Thank goodness.

Her back was still against the tree, and she stayed like that right now. This was the moment that she wondered if she just watched her life flash before her eyes. She couldn't tell really, maybe because she didn't have much of a life to really pass before her eyes. Oh well. She slowly sank to the ground, using the tree still to keep her back straight. She didn't feel like moving right now, mainly because sitting and leaning against this tree was just too comfortable. Perhaps that was a bad thing to think, being in a forested spot on the floor that she couldn't seem to find her way out of. But it also didn't help that she didn't want to leave without that familiar either. Or at least, she didn't want to go back to town without it. She started to think on what it was that she was really keeping an eye out for, but really, she just wanted to see if she was going to find something that was going to call to her on a spiritual level. That's how this worked right?

No Nephthys, that isn't how this quest works. It's just the first animal you find that wants to actually be tamed. If you don't tame it, then it goes poof and you never see it again. You may seem something like it, but not that exact animal. Granted, none of this was happening right now anyways, so it wasn't like it really mattered to her. She, at this point, was starting to wonder if there was something that she could buy that would end up helping her, instead of making this take longer than it probably should. But that would involve her going back to town, and right now, she wasn't too sure on if she wanted to go back to town. She more just wanted to keep exploring. But at the same time, to get back to town means that she would have to find her way out of this damned forest. That obviously wasn't helping at this point.

She sighed as she got up finally. She really needed to keep moving if she ever wanted out of this forest or if she wanted a familiar. Though, more just out of the forest more than anything at this point. She was actually kind of sick and tired of the dark, can you imagine her actually saying that? She never thought that she would ever really think it either. She's too used to being in the dark, that it was an odd thought to have been thought. But what was a lone wolf to do eh? She righted herself onto her feet and she grabbed her spear from the ground once more.

There was no sight of any monsters, so that was a nice little thing again. The forest seemed to be peaceful and quiet, for now at least, so it had that pleasantry going for it. Neph looked around for a moment before she picked a direction to start walking in. She wasn't sure where she was going, but she was going.

At this point, she gave up on actively looking for anything. She just figured that something was just going to pop out and find her. It was still something that drained her enthusiasm for this quest, or even just for her luck in general. She didn't know what she had done to have such horrible luck, but apparently she had done something. Was it the fact that she didn't let Nicky kill her? Because if that was the case, that is horribly..well horrible. She was running out of pg-13 works to think of, so she just opted to not think them much if anything at all anymore.

She shook her head for a moment before she nearly walked into a tree. Okay, perhaps she should go back to watching where she was going. And possibly finding her way out. This forest was getting darker and well, it seemed like it would be dangerous to be in the dark forest, alone.
