CH 12

I watch the wolf as it moves around me looking for the opportunity to strike. I shift into a stance like Jager had taught me and turn my body so that my spear is always pointing at my enemy. It circles around me a few times looking for an opening then dashes forward towards my right leg. I thrust my spear down towards its leg. But it jumps to the side and leaps towards my exposed back. I spin around barely elbowing it in the face as it scrapes a chunk of flesh out of my back.

“ AHHH”

I yell as I take the offensive. I make an attempt to stab the night wolfs head. But it jumps back and avoids being hit by inches. But I keep pushing the attack and kick it in its side. It jumps away trying to avoid being hit. The kick still connects to the wolf but it doesn’t get hit nearly as hard as I wanted it to. It does get sent a few feet away but it hopes right back up. As it gets up I charge at it in an attempt to keep presser on it. I trust my spear and scrape its side as it jumps away to avoid another attack.

Then it jumps at me its mouth ready to chomp me into two pieces. I shove my spear into its mouth in an attempt to block the attack. It pushes and pulls in an attempt to get the spear out of my hands. I plant my feet and twist my body around which through the night wolf off of my spear. As it landed I see an opportunity to strike and thrust my spear towards its gut.

But this time it doesn’t just dodge it jumps up over the point of my spear and lands on it cracking it in half. NOOO it took so long to make that. Ahhh I don’t have time to worry about that. The night wolf leaps at me again as I’m distracted. I roll under it and pull out my dagger. I really don’t know if I can survive now that we’re fighting the way the night wolf wants.

We stop our attacks and look at each other. It is bleeding from the scratch on its side but other than that it looks fine. I on the other hand have a large gash in my back that’s leaking blood and a lighter scratch on my stomach that has scabbed over sometime during the fight. I’m pretty sure that the night wolf is better off than I am.

I have to finish this soon or I’ll die. I hold my dagger in my right hand and the back half of my broken spear in my left as I prepare myself for the next attack.

The night wolf rushes me with its full strength. It jumps up and try’s to bite my head. I block its bite with the back half of the broken spear. And with it attached to the spear, I through it down onto the ground and jump onto its back. As soon as I get on its back it let’s go of the broken spear and tries to bite my leg to pull me off. I let go of the spear myself and grab onto its fur for dear life. I know if I fall off of the night wolf I’ll be killed instantly. And as it spins around trying to through me off of its back and biting at my feet I start to stab into its back with my dagger. I stab it over and over again until finally I’m thrown off. I get up onto one knee and stare at the wolf as it bleeds from the new injuries.

But it doesn’t back down. Instead it lowers itself and prepares to attack again. Why won’t you die? Well I don’t want to die ether so I guess I can’t really ask that.

“Arh-wooo”

The night wolf howls. Then I sense the mana of the other night wolves around me begin to move slowly towards us and more precisely me. This thing is trying to get its followers to kill me for it, that ass.

I can’t sit here and wait for them to kill me I have to act. I charge toward the night wolf with the little strength

I have left. I jump into the air in a despite attempt to kill it. If I’m going to die so are you, you mutt.

“AHHHHHHH”

I crash into it as I land. Its mouth has clamped down onto my left shoulder causing it to bleed immensely. And my dagger is stuck into its throat. It is shaking my body around trying to tear out my flesh. While I just keep pushing my dagger deeper and deeper into the night wolf, twisting my dagger around as it spews out blood onto my hands as I try to kill it.

Blood flows down my arm and back as we try to kill each other. The heat is quickly draining out of my body as more and more blood leaks out of my injuries. I never knew I could get this cold. I start shaking on the inside. I feel so tired. I can’t go to sleep yet. My senses are leaving me. But I have to kill this night wolf first.

Even if I die here this one dies with me.

Ahh. Everything is getting blurry. I don’t even have the strength to stab this beast again.

But the night wolf isn’t moving ether. I can barely feel its breath on my shoulder. So it’s still alive, I think. But if it’s not moving ether. Maybe it will die here with me.

Haha I won’t be going back to the spirit plain on my own then. But neither will you. We will go together and leave this world fighting.

It wasn’t a long life but I enjoyed it.

Maybe the goddess will send me back quickly since I had such a short life.

I don’t even feel cold anymore and all I see is large shades of grey.

“Ahhh good bye…”

I mumble under my breath. As I lose the little consciousness that I had left.
