The wolf, now confronting two targets, continued its assault on me and ran around Sensei and attacked me.  I was ready by the time it circled around him and performed a <<Vertical>> on the beast.  A long gash formed where one of its eyes lay.  It howled in pained and anger as it wheeled around to face us again.

 

"This should be it!  Take it out!"

I felt my stance change as Sensei moved out of the way.  My blade began to glow and I surged forward.  I straight charge with an upward piercing maneuver.  <<Rage Spike>>  As that ended, the wolf gave one last howl before dying, shattering like everything else in this world.

 

I gave a final sigh as I sat down on the ground.  This day had way too much action in it.  That said, it was more exciting than anything that has happened since.  Soon I heard a set of footsteps before a hand rested on my shoulder.

 

"Come on, soldier!  Now is not the time to rest.  We need to get to the next town before more wolves come at us."

 

"Yeah, you're right."

 

I said as I picked myself off the ground, but fell back to the ground when a large spike in pain hit me.  This was worse than ever before.  Something came back to him, a faded image of a set of clothing.  It looked like a checkered mess of tan and brown.  The image then changed to the sounds of loud cracking and thunder.  Projectiles flying past at high speeds.  Someone yelling in the distance.  

 

"Hey!....  Hey!...."

 

I opened my eyes from the pain.  I heard the voice of someone familiar.

 

"Hey!  Are you alright?"

 

"Yeah.. I think so.."

 

"What was that all about?  You just started to thrash around looking like you were in pain."

 

"I don't know, but I saw things.  Things that confuse me."

 

Were those my.. memories?  It was certainly messed up.  I couldn't figure out what was happening, or what I was doing.  What triggered that, anyway?

 

"Anyway, lets get to town before we become dog food."

 

As I stood up, the notifications window popped up.  Another wolf pelt and something new.  Clicking on the item a new window appeared showing an armor type item.

"Oh what did you get?"

 

"Looks like an armor of some type."

 

Name: Wolf Pelf Vest
ID: 25973
Link: [sP-FL1] Stepping into A New Life - post 42
Item Type: Leather Armor
Quality: Uncommon
Enhancements: Evasion +1
Description: A vest made out of Dire Wolf pelt.  Gain the instinct of a wolf to evade the strikes of your foes.

 

 

"Nice!  You should equip that now, so you can take advantage of the stats."

 

Agreeing on that, I swipe through the menu to my equipment and equip the Wolf Pelf Vest.  It instantly appears on my body afterwards.  Looking at it, it looks like a normal leather vest with the neck covered in wolf fur.  It felt good to wear, and true to its text it felt like I was as agile as a wolf.

Before we could start anywhere, however, Sensei had a thought.

 

"If there was a pack of wolves, that must mean that something valuable may be nearby."

 

"Like what?"

 

"I don't know, just look for something that doesn't really belong in a forest."

 

I didn't know what he meant by that, but as I searched the forest I found something that seemed like it could be what he was talking about.  In the forest, there was a small clearing and in there looked to be the resting ground for the wolves.  Many bones and tattered armor lay strewn out and at the very middle lay a circlet of bones.  As I drew nearer, the bones looked more like a small nest and in it were two things.  A chest, and a small wolf pup asleep in its nest.  It looks like if I wanted to get this chest, I would have to either be very stealthy and open the chest without waking it, or kill the pup and take what I can.

I made a quick action to run in, and open the chest.  I didn't even pause to see if I had awoken the pup.  The lid of the chest was easy to open, but that only shown the surprise of a needle flashing into my chest.  I pulled it out and shook my head.  Soon I got a notification about the items inside.  20 Col and a Potion of Minor Healing +5Hp.  That was slightly useful.

 

Turning around, I found myself looking at a small wolf pup staring right at me.  Its tail wagged back and forth playfully.  It didn't seem like it was going to attack.  It just looked at me with want.  Not knowing what to do, I just calmly gestured for it to stay quiet.  It just stared at me while panting in an adorable fashion.  I slowly back away from the pup.  I didn't really want to kill the poor thing.

 

Coming out of the clearing and back onto the path, I found Sensei in a rather peeved mood.

 

"I couldn't find anything.. How bout you?"

 

"Yeah, there as a chest over there, but it only had 20 Col and a potion."

 

"Oh, could I have that.  I did rescue you, ya know."

 

"Sure!"

 

Without really thinking on the matter, I gave all of the chests contents to sensei.  It felt right after all that we went through.

 

"Alright, lets get going!"

 

"Yeah!"

 

*********************************************************

 

We soon got to a place called Horunka Village.  A quaint village that held a handful of building.  This would be my next search destination, but I was tired.

 

"Well, I'm off towards the next town.  There should be something going on over there."

 

"Hey!  Sensei!"

 

"Sensei?  My name is Ignalo, I thought I gave you my contact info?"

 

"Oh yeah.. Right.. Well, could you help me look for some friends of mine.  They helped me back when and I wanted to return the favor.  Do you know of any groups of five or more people that have come through here?"

 

"Sorry, that sounds way too vague and there have been loads of people that have come and gone.  You do remember that there were 10,000 people trapped here, right?"

 

He was right.  If there was any chance that my friends were out there, they would be on the other floors or...

 

"Thank you, anyway.  I hope to see you again soon."

 

"Like wise."

 

Ignalo waved to me and we parted ways.  I found the Inn and booked a room.  Laying on the bed, I recounted the events of the past several days.  So much has happened, and it felt like I had grown in the process.

 

Another day; another step into a new life.

 

 

**************************************

 

Meanwhile, on the path to Horunka Village.

 

 A small wolf pup could be found sniffing the ground, circling around and around trying to catch something.  A faint scent filled his nose, and it wagged its tail happily.  It made a little cute bark before running towards the source of the scent near the direction of Horunka Village.
