“What the Fuck” I shout in surprise while staring at her status menu. “What’s wrong Daemon” Grace exclaims nervously while grabbing at her spear. “Wh- what happen…” I exclaim, letting my sentence trail off, unfinished. “Hu-, you mean these? I thought about what you said and decided that I agree with you” Grace? Says while reaching up and grabbing ahold of her ears, now I know how she felt. “What do you mean ‘what I said’,” I ask consciously. “You know, when you said, ‘why does it matter?’ about being human.,” She replies while feeling her ears. “So… you didn’t take off the armor I take it,” I say more as a statement than a question. “What happens when you take your armor off?” I ask out of curiosity. “Watch,” she says while sticking her fingers under the edge of her armor and grinning at me.

She’s… perfectly normal. That’s… gonna take some getting used to but, it is pretty cool. “Ok then” I reply to her.

“Olivia, Lucy come on girls wake up,” I say, walking over to them and shaking them awake. “Good morning master,” a pair of voices resound in my head as they get up and, Lucy licks my hand. “Grace, look at the quest menu” I say solemnly, remembering my original intention when waking her up. “O- what? War?” She says, her eyes upturned and full of worry. “Yeah, I know, I think we need to go” I state in a quiet voice. “Don’t worry, we’ll get through this” I say, engulfing her in my arms and stroking her hair.

“Distribute Status, 2Int., 2Wis., 6Con.” I state while closing the menu.

Reaching into my inventory, I pull out the werewolf corpse and Alpha dire wolf’s corpse and, using my knife, I cut a few choice pieces off of the bodies and store them back into my inventory. Once again reaching into my inventory, I pull out a piece of goblin meat, and start to set it next to the werewolf meat over the fire, only to be interrupted by Lucy’s growl. “What” I say exasperatedly at her. “It’s not uncommon for wolves to eat their own kind besides, I hate goblins” resounds an angry voice in my head. Slowly pulling back I store the goblin meat back into my inventory.

“Yes!” I exclaim loudly. I jump and reach for my blade as I hear a voice ringing out from behind me, “What happened.” “Ohhh good lord Grace,” I sigh out as it registers in my mind who’s speaking and as I release my hand from my dagger’s pommel. “I just found out a new function and learned a new skill,” I say aloud as I start to store the new skill book into my inventory. I toy with the thought of enchanting my current equipment before deciding against it. After all I don’t know if they can be removed or not. Making up my mind, I walk over to the bins and take out a goblin’s dagger and chant the spell, “Enchantment, Attack increase”

After sitting down to catch my breath for a few minutes, I get up and start gathering my equipment. “Are you girls ready?” I ask as Olivia tightens the straps on my armor. “Yes; Yes master” resounds mentally and physically. “Ok Let’s go then…”
