Chapter 4
On the way i learned they are called Dore for the dwarf, Narwen for the elf archer and harndes for the elf mage.
Also i learned that the world is conformed by nine kingdoms or at least the “civilized world” as they called it and the rest is the wilderness and from time to time the nine kingdoms are attacked that works as a way to train the troops , avoid war between the kingdoms, because as the dwarf said “got no time to fight between them if the enemies is at doorstep”, and also as dark as it sounds control overpopulation,.
The nine kingdoms are :
The kingdom of Envia ,governed by an Envian queen, the envian are a humanoid race, like in all kingdoms, that creates their cities in the sky using gravity magic, unfortunately that magic is long lost and all that remains are the large floating cities, and by the dwarf words the only way to access them is by using a lift that leaves the soil in an hourly interval or by being an envian and flying to it, of course not all envian can fly that high and they only can do that because the area where the cities are located has some sort of magic that prevent the wind to
massacre their bodies.
The Dhrom mountain kingdom, governed by the dwarf mightiest blacksmith, Dhrom is a strange kingdom consisting of a long mountain range, that trades its goods with other kingdoms in exchange for some kinds of food, mostly grains and vegetables, sometimes meat when they are too tired to eat the beings hidden in the heart of the earth.
The Dhrotar desert tribe, governed by the orc chief, powerful warriors with no magic affinity, they build their homes in mountains just like the dwarves and are reigned by the most powerful warrior of the orc race.
The Rhonar kingdom, governed by the alpha prime of the beast race, consist in large woods that are used as hunting grounds. And their cities are few and are populated by some of the weakest sub races of the beast race.
The Fargo region, governed by the human king, with a lot of small farming villages and a large capital.
The swamp kingdom, governed by the matriarch, this swamp kingdom is inhabited by lizard people, caiman people and more that the dwarf doesn't seem to remember.
The kingdom of Milivar, governed by an Elven queen, its the kingdom we are currently are, they adore nature and they capitol that we are currently headed to named Evalance is surrounded by a tree wall,made by nature magic that the elfs specialize in, and houses huge mansions above trees, of course only for the nobles, the commonwealth have houses at terrain level and three floors top.
The kingdom of Viredar, governed by dark elfs, much like the elf kingdom they specialize in nature magic, and are separated just by the kingdom sub-racial origin, but by no way they are enemies in fact they are the kingdoms that best relations have with each other.
And finally the Monster region, consisting in a large number of tribes of sentient humanoid beings that govern that region, the most powerful race that has erected a queen is the Dorth race descendant of the mighty dragons, superior to all in strength and magic but with much less population.
Then theres the tenth kingdom that is not governed by a single king nor queen or chief,etc.
This kingdom is smaller than the rest but is in the middle of all of them, this kingdom has representatives of each of the other kingdoms that governs in a senate kind of government and acts as intermediaries of the conflicts between kingdoms, and helps in strengthening the borders with the wilderness
I know is a lot to remember he said to me, but strangely i could remember every word he spoke me.
Anyway on the way to the elf capital, we don't just talk, we also fight a lot of wolfs that attacks us and bunnies and foxes that we use to eat gaining 2 points in strength for the sub races of wolfs and 6 points in agility for the subraces of bunnies and foxes.
Three hours go by and night falls, but we don't stop, we keep running non stop, and thats fine by me because when the night fell i could feel stronger and that helped with the wolf pack that approaches us just before reaching the borderline of the woods in i can clearly see the tree wall of the capital in the distance.
The pack consists in at least 10 grey wolfs, a pair of silver ones, one red which i haven't seen till now ,and a big black wolf, at least two times bigger than the rest.
The Leader of the pack as i see it howls, and the wolfs start the attack.
Like the last time Baltoz yells a battle cry, that in the trek i learned is to gather aggro, that i also learned in a simplistic way said by the dwarf “is to let the enemies focus on one ally”.
Swiftly i approach the wolfs and with one stroke of my dagger i pierce the head of the nearest grey wolf, and strangely it pierces and end its life in a single hit.
I'm just standing there dumbfounded as well as my three other companions but Baltoz and Eos are still fighting and ignoring the last action like if it was normal.
“Attack” I yell earning a point in leadership.
I continue massacring the wolfs, looks like they are no match for me, i look at the dwarf and the elves that are going for a wolf and all combined can take care of them but with some difficulty and of course thanks to Eos who is focusing on healing.
I ran past the rest of the grey and silver wolfs and go for the red one, simply like the rest a dagger to the head and its dead, all thats left is the black one, it stares at me, and i notice something strange.
Its malnourished i can clearly see her ,now that i notice her gender, ribs and decayed muscles.
I look behind and i see the rest in the same state.
So thats why they attacked, they are about to die, and i guess all their puppies are in the same condition, they don't care for their lives, but want to at least let their descendants live.
But why didn't they attacks the bunnies or foxes?, is the reason their decayed state, did they thought we were easier than those elusive bunnies and foxes?.
We will never know, but i don't plan to be wolf food so im sorry but i'll end your life.
With a quick stab i end the wolfs life and looking behind the rest did the same.
I follow the ritual that i do with all the new beings i kill and take a bit of the red wolf and the black one.

The fight ends and i feel bad for the poor wolfs and the puppies that will surely died without their pack.
Quest acquired!
Save the puppies!
After killing the wolf pack you feel remorse and want to save the puppies that you have condemned to die, why kill all the pack and now want to save the puppies? only you know.
Quest difficulty : G
Reward : none.
So… i acquired a quest that say i'm stupid? nonetheless its right so i'll accept.
Quest accepted!
Now how to find them, maybe with my smell trait? no… i dont think i can trace them im still new to that trait.
Just when i'm about to walk randomly in the woods to try to look for them Baltoz puts his hand on my shoulder and asks me “What do we do with the puppie?”
… He already knows where they are… but he said puppie, so the rest died, quite sad if you ask me but what can a heartless person like me that killed the whole adult pack say.
“Can you guide me?”
And he leads the way, not far from where we killed the pack i start to hear the sharp howls of a puppie.
The howls are louder and louder with each step, and when it can't be louder we see a large tree with a cave below. The howls are from there.
And when we get down the sight is horrific.
There a single puppie munching on the dead bodies of its relatives.
Anyway i've seen worse, like that time with the shadows… a chill comes down from my spine each time i remember.
I take out a piece of rabbit meat thats left from the time we ate and use is to make the little white wolf to approach.
When it notice us and especially the smell of the rabbit it runs to it and starts munching on it.
Do you want to make the cannibal white female puppie part of your pack?
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Wow it only took a single bunny and i already can make it part of my pack, mhh maybe its because of the circumstance and the fact that he is a puppy.
It worries me a little the cannibal part but i accept.
Name the Cannibal white puppie.
mmhm i think i'm supposed to use something about her to name her.
I could use cannibal but every time i call her name i would remember this scene and i don't want that, then something white? like whitey, no thats awful, should i use a normal name then? Yes i'll do that.
Then a sudden whisper to my ear says “Astraea”... I look around and my companions are waiting outside the den, so who told me that?, i shrug it off because i think astraea is ok and i'm sure the name i surely would have choosen was going to be awful… I don't have a good naming sense.
“Astraea”
Cannibal white puppy name changed to Astraea.
Can't see stats due to lack of necessary skill.
Mhh… guess i'll need to find that out.
Of course before leaving the den i grab a chunk of meat from the puppies bodies and munch on it gaining 4 more points in strength from the different sub species, red, grey, silver and black. Maybe the white puppies is a rare subspecies because i don't see others white puppies bodies.
Now don't judge me because the one that suggested this was the all knowing and secretive voice in my head… and i'm not crazy.
The voice no longer spooks me but the window that appears after the eating sure do.

Holy fuck!… I take a peek at Astraea that right now is licking the blood of her dead relatives from my hands and looking me with her red eyes.
A shiver runs down my spine but immediately i become enraged at the damn windows for the insults.
And like always can't make a dent in them, i can't even touch them as my arms trespass them.
I give up in the impossible task of taking my anger on the windows and exit the den with Astrea on toll.
Quest completed!
Save the puppies! Completed!
Sadly you only saved the most crazy puppy on the pack.
Lvl up!
Title obtained Deviant affinity

...
What kind of fucked up title is this!!?... but maybe it'll come handy sometimes in the far far far far future, far, until then i won't ever equip it, and if those weren't enough,far.
By the way i already learned to ignore those comments appearing in the windows.
On the way out i find all my companions looking at me and intermittently at Astrea, but they just look at astrea for few milliseconds and then the sight is back on me again. If only they knew what i did after they left alone there.
The dwarf is smart and quickly takes the lead to the city and signal us to follow him.
After a few minutes we are finally out of the tree lines and there is the city in all its splendor.
As mighty as my description would be you'll have to be here to really appreciate the sight.
In the near distance i can see the tree wall with detailed engravings in all its length and further ahead a huge palace over the threes of course i can also see nobles mansions but in comparison with the palace they are crap.
The city is huge ,more than fifty kilometers in length can be seen of wood wall, but i suspect larger because the line of trees from the woods are blocking my view.
As i'm seeing this place for the first time the dwarf and elves stroll casually in the direction of a huge arc that acts as the how the dwarf called it south entrance.
As we approach we see a long line of wagons and people carrying some sort of merchandise trying enter the city, and wolf, foxes, squirrels ,badgers and all kind of small creatures just loitering around and some of them being killed by other people, and by other people i mean elves,dark elves, dwarves, some humans, beast people some people that look like humanoid serpents, and more.
And in the near distance i see a fight between two wolves ,one white and the other grey, at least half the size of the ones in the woods.with a surprisingly fast bite the white wolf attacks the grey wolf neck and kills it, but it doesn't stop there after the white finish to kill the grey one, it starts to eat only leaving the head, it grabs it by the ear and starts approaching us.
Of course the white wolf is Astrea, she nudges affectionately with the head on my knees and throws at me the grey wolf head, that i fastly munch down earning one of strenght.
Familiarity with Astrea +2%
I point at the rest of the different animals and she rapidly goes and brings me one of each for me to eat, she doesn't even try to eat them, i guess i now know what she likes.
By eating them i earn six agility points, so as a reward i go and kill another wolf and bring it to her and she munches happily while letting small whinings to me. Its a crazy puppy but i guess its my crazy puppy.
While all this happens my five other companions look at me like i'm a crazy person, with eyes full of pity… what the hell i havent equiped the title why are they looking me like that!?.
Anyways we head towards the arch that now that i'm closer i notice its a huge double door metal and black wood gate, that in my assumption could resist a siege.We cut line but none of the people waiting protest at us it seems strange to me but the three other seems unfaced.
As we approach the start of the line i see two guards inspecting the goods the merchant are trying to enter to the city, some bring exotic food that i've never seen in my life… i don't remember my life so i guess all food is exotic to me. Others brings weapons, swords, axes, hammers, morningstars, shields, armors, and other kinds of weapons and armors i can't seem to recognise.
When we reach the gate, the guard looks at us and the dwarf and elves show three identical bronze rings with a blue gem encrusted in them, and they are allowed to pass.
When our turn comes the guard looks at us expecting some kind of action, but we don't have rings so i show him my empty fingers.
He opens his eyes wide and yells at me.
“You, how did you leave your born place without a ring!!?”
All the people in the line look at us including the three already inside the city.
“Bernard!” yells the guard.
A few minutes later a fat man in guard garment, brown eyes matching his hair comes and looks at the guard that yelled with no so pleasant eyes.
“What do you want Rod, i'm busy and can't come every time you forget how to clean you buggers”.
“Shut up and look at these people hands” Says while signaling us to show them.
After seeing them he lose the composure he showed moments before and starts to sweat.
“But there hasn't been a case like this in years!, where they born in the wild!?”He says while taking out a marfil coloured silk handkerchief from one of his pockets and cleaning his temple.
