"Yes, WOOHOO….."
The wolf pup lowered its guard and calmly walked up to her and laid down.
TTring
[Will you name your new companion Y/N]
"Of Course a name...….let's see...… Ahh how about Moro"
[Companion named]
{Moro lvl 1}
[This Companion will now follow you until death or release]
[Moro is now added to your party]
"Alright, come on pup lets go"
As they made there way out of the forest into the clearing between it and the town, Kireina had noticed something was off about Moro, Since Kireina had acquired the pup she had placed herself between Kireina and Koda glancing back at him every so often letting out a faint growl.
'I wonder what that could be all about?'
Walking behind them not giving any attention to the pup at all, Koda was deep in thought.
'Moro... Moro... I seem to recall hearing that name somewhere before.
Hhmmm'
Clearing his throat,
Cough cough*
"Madam,"
"It's Kireina, That's my name and that's what you should call me" She Quickly retorted."
"Oh okay, then Ms. Kireina,"
"Just Kireina….Jeeez, I'm only 16 years old thank you" She fired back
"Kireina"
"Why did you name the pup Moro, It seems like a very unique name"
"Well," She paused for a second
"Moro is my favorite wolf in a movie I have fond memories of called 'Mononoke Hima', That's why I named her that"
"What is a movie?" he asked standing there utterly confused
"Ugg you are clueless aren't you" she sighed
"It's too much to have to explain so let's just drop it"
They started back walking heading towards town again all the while Moro continued to growling at Koda and even took to snapping at him if he got to close, although she enjoyed watching him dodge Moro it was starting to annoy her a bit.
'I need to find out why she is doing that.'
While coming into town Kireina noticed that the townspeople were giving them some odd looks.
"Hey Koda, Why do they keep looking at us like that?"
"I don't know" he replied shrugging his shoulders "I didn't even notice"
He said while still keeping an eye on Moro, who was still growling at him.
'Should have known, useless, …..hmm maybe it's the wolf' she thought while looking around.
"Moro, don't stray "she called out.
The pup, understanding what she meant, sped up and stayed right on her heels.
As they walked up and down the town roads looking for a shop to buy gear.
They started to notice whenever they headed towards an open shop the door would be shut and the curtains pulled closed. Kireina tried to knock and make contact at the first few but eventually just gave up trying and walked away.
Just as she was about to give up hope and leave the town she saw a shop still open, although it looked run down, she decided to give it a shot and began towards it. When they got closer she was expecting the door to close like all the others but it never happened.
Ching*
A little chime rang out as the trio entered the shop. A short hearty man came from the back out of the office looking down at a pack he was carrying while pulling a stitch through the seam.
Will a full voice
"Welcome to the Olde Shopeeee....."
His voice dropped off when he looked up to see who came into his shop.
The three kept walking toward him and he just stood there jittery and shifting his eyes from one to the other.
Making there way up to the counter he stood behind Kireina scanned the shop to see what might be available.
'He seems to have a few potions and a few bits of material and tools for making potions and other crafts.
"H-H-How can I Help you" he barely got out.
"This might be a little difficult for you but I need
4 x Potions
2 x Elixers
6 x Cure all's
10 x Rations
...….Ohh and 4 x Torches"
"Oh this Well take a minute to round up, do you mind if I help this fellow behind you if his request is small, I won't let it compromise yours." He faintly smiled at her.
"We are here together," she said back puzzled.
"Oh, My apologies, I did not know since you were not partied together."
The man left to gather her equipment.
She turned and looked at Koda then opened her menu and there it was in plain text.
[Invite Player to your party Y/N]
'How did I not see this before? Was it because I wasn't looking for it?
And how are you able to add an NPC to your party?'...then it crossed her mind.
'Maybe that's what is wrong with Moro'
[Invite Player to your party Y/N]
'Yes'
Blam* Crash*
All of a sudden Koda yelled and jumped back into a self knocking over some pots and camping gear.
"What the hell is this witchcraft" Swinging his arms in the air in front of him.
"Be careful you idiot don't break anything" She popped off.
'Even though its all sh!t'
"What's going on, Am I Dying"
Tears began to fill his eyes.
"No you fool just say yes and you will join my party, That way I can keep track of you better."
After calming down he said yes the ring sounded out
TTring
[Player has joined your party]
'Nice, While we wait I'm going to check some stuff'
She looked at Moro and pulled up her menu.

'Sweet she has the skill provoke, she can be like my little tanker.'
Then she looked around for Koda.
'I wonder'
Koda had walked off to talk to the shopkeeper and began asking him questions.
"Is today a holiday in your town?"
"No."
"Do shops close up Early?"
"No."
"Are You guys scared of Wolves?"
"We do live next to Red Forest, no wolf pup would scare the towns folk here boy."
"So why did everyone shun us all-day today?"
"It's all about the Awakened kind."
"What do you mean."
Huffing the man stood still for a second.
"Whenever an Awakened comes through town on there way to Mt. Teruya they buy us out of all our materials. We ask them to beat the Goblin Warchief but none ever do so he sets his horde of cave goblins upon us and the wreak the town, so naturally, we have become distrusting of them."
Now within earshot of the conversation, Kireina Spoke up in a giddy tone.
"That sounds like it's a Raid Boss, And Raids give lots of gold and experience."
'This will be great'
She then looked over at Koda and stared at him in amazement

'This is crazy, Bloodlines has some weird new features. I guess I'm just gonna have to figure them all out.'
"Ma'am"
"Ma'am"
"Ma'am"
"MA'AM"
The shopkeeper yelled snapping her out of thought
"There you are, It'll be 82p."
"What that's Highway robbery I'll give no more than 50p."
"I'm sorry, we are the only shop open in town and you will need these items on your adventure to take on the raid, will you not."
He then grinned a big grin exposing two gold teeth on the left side of his mouth.
'I see how it is, damn it Koda you should have just kept your damn mouth shut.'
"Fine."
She took out her pouch and pulls some coins out slamming them down on the counter.
Smack*
"Here you damned thief."
"Thank you for your business, drop by and see me anytime."
He said as they were leaving.
'Ha I think not'
They quickly set off out toward the base of the mountain, reaching their destination rather quickly.
"It's pretty late already, we waisted too much time back in that damned town. We might as well camp here on this side of the hill for the night and get in a full day tomorrow."
Koda dropped the pack off of his shoulders with a sigh of relief.
"I'll go get wood for a fire." taking off only for Kireina to reach out and grab his arm.
"Are you trying to get us killed?" She asked.
"Huh."
"If those goblins happen to look this way while we have light in the night sky don't you think they come out in droves to see what's going on?"
"Oh." he sat down hanging his head.
'This is pitiful' she thought to look at him.
"Hey we still need water and there is a clean flowing creek right back there." pointing back where they just come up from.
"Yes...Yes, I'll go get some " then he jumped up grabbed the canteens and took off.
After a bit, she looked up thinking he should be back by now and opened the party window she realized he was taking damage.
"Oh, Sh!t"
