Chapter 9
"What is life? More specifically what is my life? Would my life be considered interesting? Perhaps having a friend might help? Can I even make friends? People are quite scary nowadays.. Then again what determines what is interesting from boring? Is there such a thing as fate? Do I even rationally make my own choices or am I bound upon a self-destined path... hmmm… is a goal the same as a purpose? What if really I hit my head awhile back and lay in a coma where everything in my life right now is just a figment of my imagination.. a bit dark I admit.. hmm.. lets think of a new question… "If I was born as animal which one would it be? Hmmm.. perhaps a bear, no no.. maybe a bird? Then again my luck was never good so I'd probably turn out to be a crab or something" "Does pineapple go on pizza?"
I have many questions but few answers. But that is okay... There are many people in this world. Surely someone will have the answers I seek!
I sit crossed legged attempting to seriously ponder some more things… "Awhooo.." a wolf-pup runs circles around me.. It's been about a week since I've been lost.. I am still lost..
I gaze over at the pup.. I have come to conclusion that the pup is male, I hope so in any case because I have already named him Leo. I was never good with picking names.. and as for whether the name I picked is a suitable one for the wolf I do not know.. However the pup has taken a liking to the name. I think that when I see Jack he will be able to confirm that I indeed have a spectacular sense for names, given his capabilities as a beast tamer."Okay let's go.. This way!" I pick a random direction and start walking.. the wolf-pup trudges along behind me…

***
Menacing Stone Walls stand before me.. they seem to pierce the heavens. Soldiers patrol along the wall holding heavy longbows. Multiple archer towers can be seen strewn across wall. Monstrous sized ballista's are mounted upon the wall. The wall is nearly 10m thick with 3 gates one behind the other at the entrance point.
City guards solemnly watch over those entering the city, to and fro.An intimidating sight to behold… but lucky for me, I am a honest fellow… I make my way over to the entrance and with not a pause in my stride I confidently walk up to the most intimidating city guard there.
"Hello, you can call me a not-so suspicious individual" I extend my hand… he does not do the same. Casually lowering my hand.. "Ahem.. I was supposed to arrive with a convoy but there was this battle and I got lost but here I am." You make gestures with your hands as you describe the battle.
"I'm lucky to have made it here alive, it took me nearly 2 weeks to arrive here.." The soldier's gazes at me coldly "A battle you say..? Sir would you consider yourself a dangerous individual?" "Huh.. no?.. While it is true that I find myself in many very dangerous situations I am definitely not dangerous, my apprentice Jack can affirm to that. Have you seen him by any chance? He is quite tall and wears black robe, ooh and he is a beast tamer!" "I see.. Another suspicious individual" the soldier mutters to himself as he writes on a piece of paper. He gesture to a fellow soldier, "Take this and keep a watch out for this one.. and report to me when you see him" "Yes Sir." The soldier salutes and walks away.

The city guard soldier gives you a glance.. "I know the convoy you speak of but you say it took you 2 weeks to travel where the trip should have only taken 2 days…? Did you perhaps get an itch to do some banditry? It's very common nowadays.." a cold glints appears in the soldiers eye.
He gazes at me intently… "Woo Wooolf" "…." "Sir.. would you like to explain the sound coming from underneath your robe?" "Um.. Is that an optional question?" He gaze turns solemn… My robes ruffles as a wolf pup's head pops out. The pup's cute cuddly eyes bear down upon the Soldier. The soldiers hard gaze softens.
"Ahem.. Well Sir while there are many reasons to detain you and countless more to imprison you.. you seem to be a good-natured fellow since you are taking care of this pup. Therefore you may proceed into the city.. and .. ahh make sure to drop by sometime… I have some snacks I'm sure the pup would like.. My name is Henry by the way." "Ah thankyou soldier, I'll be on my way then!" Just like that I venture into the city…
