FUCK. I did not sleep properly. I got paranoid thinking what will happen to me, a 14 year old boy venturing into a man eating forest. On top of that, killing a creature that lives there. Where can I even find one? They did give me a tip, bring a compass and follow east when I head back because the mist will always misguide people and lure them into a dangerous area. I got up and wore the equipment I bought. I went to the market and bought a compass for 15 bronze coins and saw a centaur heading to the nearby city of "aeforwitch" . I stopped him and told him that I will be going to the mist forest. The fee was 10 bronze coins, I paid him and went to the carriage and I saw a beautiful elf. I saw her skin. She is a dark elf along with her companions; dark elves are not allowed in the kingdom of the holy empire because of their beliefs and labeled as evil. Of course it does not matter to me, I smiled at her, Complimented her and the results? Call me a genius because I got a perfect grade. She said come closer and kissed me. Yes you read this correctly she is now my first kiss. The other companion said are you not afraid of us, boy? The four of them were female dark elves. Why would I be afraid of four beautiful women? They blushed and giggled. One of them asked where are you heading? I'm going to the Mist forest. One of them gave me a ring but before she gave it to me they chanted something on the ring. They explained that this ring will glow if it senses a creature is near you. This will help you venture in the mist forest. I was happy, finally something good is happening in this world. I asked them what are you gonna be doing in aeforwitch? We are looking for someone. I did not ask for further details. They asked me for my name. The name is frode. How about you girls? If we meet again, Frode, we will tell you our names. The centaur stopped to tell me that we're here in my destination. I bid farewell to the four beautiful dark elves they said farewell to. Before I went , one of the elves who kissed me chanted something and said you will know what it is when you venture in the forest. As they left they said we will never forget this moment in meeting you frode (me). I blushed as I went into the mist forest. As I wandered, my surroundings started to only see the mist as I attempted to light the torch the centaur gaved me. My eyes started to hurt and my vision changed. Did I get cursed? I got dizzy and collapsed. I woke up to a loud noise but when I opened my eyes I could see better in the mist. My vision was enhanced by the pretty lady as I smiled in rejoice and thanked them in my mind. As i realized the loud noise. The ring they gave me is glowing. It seems some creature is observing me in one of these trees. As I went further the ring started to glow more. Is the creature behind me? FUCK It is, But it is not the one hiding in the tree. It's a big ass crocodile rampaging towards me as I run. I started to see eyes from the mist far from me and the eyes got closer, I lit up my torch and threw it in the mist, more eyes suddenly popped up. It was more crocodiles competing to eat me. I grabbed the compass and went east. As I ran, I started to see big crocodiles, the size of a school bus. As the groups of big ass crocodiles chasing me, One catched up with the others as the fucker went close towards me that it can almost bite my back it stopped. Was it because of the ring the beautiful dark elves gaved me? No, it's snakes as big as the titanoboa with horns that creates an electric current and stuns the crocodiles as the both groups fight to ease their hunger. I just realized the temperature has been cold as I hike through. I was busy escaping from the monsters, I did not have time to check my compass. But when I looked at my compass. I have been hiking towards the north for about half an hour. Shit. My ring started to glow, A monster was nearby and I heard a loud howl. No doubt it's wolves. But the wolves are different. They stared at me from a distance and when they opened their mouths some circle suddenly popped up. That circle it's a magic circle. Then the group of wolves started shooting ice magic as i ran away, Some Ice shards hit the ground I stumbled. As I was standing up the wolves had already catched up. There were six wolves, One had a third eye and a horn. That wolf was obviously the leader of the pack. As they surrounded me with three eyes, its horn started glowing towards me. It was like its charging up, Well fuck this looked at my compass again. Ran towards east, Two wolves jumped at me as one of the wolves pushed me into the ground. Ready to bite my neck, The other wolf was already biting my leg as I cursed and shouted in grief, I grabbed my dagger and stabbed the wolf that was pinning me down numerous times in the head. I grabbed the fur on the fucker who bit my leg, I stabbed it's ear and then the other four wolves arrived. One bit my left upper limb, The other bit my shoulder and the other one was going for my head. Shit. How am I gonna escape this? As I cried and shouted in grief. I used my dagger to stab the mouth of the wolf that was going for my head. Went in for the throat as it clawed my face and bit my arm. I killed it. The remaining wolves retreated when the leader used its horn and fired a large beam. I managed to grab the tail of the wolf who bit my upper limb as the beam hit the ground. I used my adrenaline rush to mount the wolf that I managed to grab and forcefully tried to rip the fur to the east. It did not work. The wolf grew more rebellious and started to shake me off, but if I can hold onto its fur I can lose the other wolves. I Used the belt for my leather pants and tied it onto the wolf so it couldn't howl, But it was no use. The wolves followed the scent of my blood and it attracted more packs of wolves. Thankfully the other packs were hostile and fought each other, some driven by greed still followed me as I went back to the place where crocodiles chased me. It seems the fight is over and alot of snakes and crocodiles died. Eventually the hungry pack of wolves started to eat the remaining corpses but suddenly one wolf collapsed. It was the same horned snake but bloodied. It paralized some of the wolves, while the other pack leaders fought with the huge horned snake as they bought time for me to go east, As i forced the wolf. Went further and I stabbed the wolf in the head as it weakened and I finished it off. It would be useless to try and tame it because it's a wild adult wolf without meat it would eat me in my sleep. I removed my leather clothes, I started to cut some parts to cover my deep wounds. I tied it to my upper limb and my leg since the other parts were not that deeply bitten. I proceeded to skin off its fur. It took me about 40 minutes getting the fur and slicing the tail of the wolf. Since I am wounded and the hide is tough. I wore the fur, Took some of its teeth and went east. I hiked half an hour until I managed to get out of the forest. Finally i'm out of the fucking hell hole alive. But I realized something was watching me as my ring started to glow again. It was the creature from before, as it looked at me and went away. I started to hike back to the city. My body worsened, while blood started to drip again. Halfway back to the city, Raindrops started to fall and as I noticed my skin become paler and I didn't have the strength to walk anymore,The dizziness took over me as my mind went blank and my body collapsed. Am I gonna even make it? I passed out but I woke up to the rain and my bleeding stopped. I don't know how but I'm glad that I'm alive. Started to get up but It hurt like hell, I forced my body, My legs as I walked back to the city with the claws and teeth of the wolf who gave me these wounds, The bloodied fur I skinned, and the tail I sliced as I took it as an achievement in killing the wolf. My body gave up again, As I forced my wounded arms to crawl my way through and finally made it back to the city.
