Chapter 4: Contract

'I finally started to feel somewhat safe after having put some distance between me and that crazy woman, now my only problem was this wolf while it seems friendly I'm not sure if I could just walk into a town with this beast, especially without any identification. First I should at least give him a name, wait is this wolf a male or a girl? Fuck it, I'll just ask and hope it doesn't get mad at me for not knowing'

"Hey... uh," I feel a sharp pain from the cut on my throat, the wolf looks over at me, their eyes a deep purple like a night sky being illuminated by a full moon, "Um are you a boy or a uh... Girl?" I say in a weak scratchy tone "Oh yeah you can't talk can you? Well uh... Can you shake your head if you can at least understand what I'm saying?" the wolf looks at me with an almost confused look before shaking their head, "Ok so hmm... can you move your head up if your a girl and down if you're a boy?" the wolf slightly moves her head up

"Well ok, I guess I should give you a girl's name then," I say already trying to think about what name I should give her, almost bumping into a tree, "Hmmm... How about Luna"

The wolf tilts its head for a few seconds like it's deciding then gives me an approving nod, "Alright, so Luna is it alright if I sleep on your back cause I'm quite tired and my throat hurts a lot"

Luna stops and lowers down enough so I can hop on, I walk over and put one hand on her back, as I lift my leg over her back, I only now realized how big she is, aside from her being about 4 feet tall, she is quite big her back is big enough to be considered a bed, I slowly lay myself down on her fur. Barely thinking I Yawn as I say "Keep walking until we either find a town or a river and if we find a town try to stay out of sight from it and just wait nearby. Oh and if you find people and they notice you wake me up." Almost passing out as I lay my head on her fluffy fur, her fur is so soft and warm it makes me feel as if I'm floating but at the same time sinking into a bottomless pit, a nice soft, warm bottomless pit.

----------------------------------------

I yawn as I flip over only to feel something silky and hairy tickling my face, annoyed at whatever is making my face itch, I open my eyes slightly to see why my pillow is itchy only to see what looks like a yellowish galaxy, my eyes adjusting to the light I see now that it's the mystery wolf I summoned, wrapped around me like a blanket, sleeping peacefully "oh great so that wasn't just a crazy dream" I mutter out sleepily, putting a hand against my throat to realize it healed fully while I was sleeping, not even a scar remained it was like it never happened.

I carefully push Luna off me, careful to not wake her, and look around and see a green field tinted by the red sunrise. I look out to see a cliff going down what looks like a thousand feet with a beautiful green field going for miles with small hills and some patches of trees and in the distance, I can see a huge field with a wall surrounding a small town.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

I look down at myself and wonder if I could pass off my ruffed-up black hoodie and gray sweatpants as clothes from a foreign country or something similar, considering how Mercy said this is in the medieval times.

I pick up the bag that fell off next to Luna and start going through it to see if there is anything like clothing I could wear or money, looking in the bag revealed the fruit I quickly shoved it in the bag, and at the bottom was some kind of wand, a ring and a book with a title that had some weird letters I haven't ever seen before. I open the book up to see if it was just the title I couldn't read, flipping through the pages revealed that I couldn't read anything from this world.

I closed the book and put it to the side of the bag I kept looking through it and I found something interesting a white crystal orb, tapping it made it turn red before cracking and shattering into pieces I put the shattered base of what once was an orb on the ground and pack everything else back into the bag.

While I'm putting the book I look over to Luna waking up, lifting her head and yawning loudly. a screen suddenly appears spooking me as I fall on my ass

Would you like to use [Contract Book] on "Luna"?

Yes No

I look blankly at the screen before saying "Yes?" without thinking

"Isn't this just Luna's status, how is this even a skill?" I mutter to myself as if doing so would make someone give me something more useful, another screen suddenly replaces the my skills screen

'Well even if it is a weird skill at least her status is normal and it looks like she has some pretty useful skills' I close the status and look down the mountain, at the beautiful field and towards the town knowing that if I go to town while it might have stuff that could be useful I would also probably have to talk to people, I shove the book back into the bag as I walk down to Luna as she looks up to me "Come on girl, lets get going" I say as I put on the bag and hop on Luna "Lets head south" as she looks down the mountain before turning left and starting our new adventure.
