Today i woke up and mother fed me. I however was still very much hungry due to cutting myself off of my own life force. Grumpy that i already ate my whole meal and was still hungry i decided to find the applesauce that the neighbours fed there child Sophia. I looked in all the obvious and easy spots for me to look in and didn't find it. Frustrated I went out side and went out to the push with Lizard and Sophia tailing behind. I decided to walk everywhere for now to increase my strength. Wait a minute how the hell does that increase strength.

“codex!!!” i yelled at him telepathically

“yes?”

“how does walking increase my strength wouldn't increase agility instead?” i voiced angrily

“by pushing your muscles to the max your body becomes better toned increasing both your agility and strength.”

“I guess but isn't this more of agility training?”

“Strength and leadership are the hardest to attain while you are young.”

“intelligence is easiest when your young but is also easy to get as you age. Agility is very hard to get as you age and is still hard to get when your young.”

“fine... ill agility train until i get older....”

after this little verbal scrap i decided to go into the woods. Being hungry and walking aimlessly is not a good combo. Seeing as how i couldn't eat any of the fresh fruit on the trees it made me quite annoyed almost as if the forest itself was taunting me. As we continued on the forest was teeming with life. Sophia by example was now able to walk although about 1/10 of my pace and only when leaning on me. This let FEAR catch all sorts of critters and animals. I saw at least 10 raccoons die on this day. It seemed that mice hunting had made FEAR fast as he outran the raccoons and then killed them by crushing their necks in his jaw. He kind of reminded me of an alligator or crocodile. We explored deep into the forest but didn't find much that FEAR couldn't one shot kill. That's when i turned around and

Fuck I got lost.

“Codex?”

“yes?”

“how do we get back?”

“uhm not sure”

“what do you mean don't you have access to all my memories?”

“yes but you were looking down the whole time...”

“can you access FEAR's memories?”

“I can but it would break the beast tamer pact and he would hunt you till you die.”

“well that’s not an option.”

so i kept walking forward. Onward to victory right? We walked for about 10 minutes until we came to a clearing. That’s where i saw my first elf. She was about 5 years old from the looks of it. Seeing as how i couldn't talk I ignored her and walked right past her. She however seemed to be interested in me and she started approaching. So I did what any gentleman would do. I hurriedly put Sophia on FEAR and ordered FEAR to

“return Sophia home!”

“What's home? Where is home?” it would seem that FEAR only understood basic commands

“Scatter until i tell you to return WITH Sophia!”

FEAR ran off and I went the opposite direction. I didn't want to become this elf's play toy. Upon seeing FEAR and Sophia leave she got distracted and let them get away. She then looked at me. I couldn't see her face but i could feel something staring at me. Almost right through me.

“Master I figured out why i couldn't find the way out earlier”

“what the hell do you mean?' i telepathically said this as I tried to walk even faster.

“something was blocking you from checking your surroundings making me unable to record landmarks”

“you think it was the elves?”

“most likely, considering the library you raided was created by elves and later used by necromancers and finally demons. From my analysis of the books that is a typical eleven magic. It usually draws in those that are powerful enough to be immortal or eleven and those that are not are forced away by the same magic.”

“i see”

as i continued walking fast i could hear the young girl get closer and closer.

That’s it, now is the time to try that! I start moving my legs even faster and now I’m jogging at a good pace. She seems to be running at the same pace however so its become a battle of attrition. I keep running for a long time until i make it into a clearing. This is where it hits me. I had the advantage in the forest because i knew how to run on uneven terrain in my last life. But then hope sparks my eyes the village is in sight. Using telepathy i boom to FEAR

“COME TO YOUR MASTER!”

I feel his telepathic nod to my order and i continue running. If FEAR gets here first I will have the advantage again. But this girl is closing the distance quickly. She's pounding on the path right behind me. Less then a stride behind. Then I see the crazy old man walk out of the bushes from the side. He picks me up by my shirt and i feel myself hanging in the air.

I’m free thank-you old man thank-you!!! is what i thought in my mind. But when i saw his face my thoughts changed and i remembered the library. I kept a smile on my face to feign ignorance and i looked to his other hand. He had the elf girl from earlier she was real perrty. The old man then said

“if it wasn't for your potential i would kill you destroying my library and stealing the elf princess.”

without thinking i did the worst thing imaginable. I talked telepathically.

“ya right you old fart the library was completely unused and that elf chased me all the way here.”

he stared at me awkwardly then said out loud.

“man i should really get some rest i haven't slept in 3 days i must be hearing things. Ill wake up tomorrow and it’ll all be a bad dream. It must be that cat ear girl with some make up on that’s all. Yup time to go to bed.”

He put me down first and i jogged as fast as i could home. The elf had about a 10 sec lead that she had to catch up on. Just as was about to enter my house i got tackled. Now unable to move my weak and small body i turned and saw my saviour. FEAR and Sophia were only a meter away. Sophia got down approached the elf and ... started braiding her hair...

“FEAR help me” i begged telepathically

he picked up the elf and then Sophia with his large mouth. Tired and calling a day a day i went to my bed and went to sleep. Sophia curled up next to me and the elf slept beside me with her arm over top of me. It felt like she was the man in a cuddle. Needless to say it was a weird feeling. Seeing as how the elf had only tackled me and scared the living daylights out of me i decided to forgive her for her past actions. (i mean who can not forgive pretty elf?(possible wife *ahem *ahem))
