Chapter 112 - Volume Hundred and Twelve

What legend is around me?!, I have no feats. Nothing under my name, I've never slaughtered people like Adamsin. Are they trying to bring his legend back to life?!, why though the world I hate to say it is better without him. His legend is something nobody can just make up overnight and everyone believes it. I don't understand why people want to bring him back, what is going on in Nord?!. I have a gut feeling that my party isn't telling me the whole story. I can't tell them I fell skeptical about them, if they are hiding something from me. It wouldn't be the first time someone hid something from me. My eyes are getting to heavy, as I fade into sleep. The thought of Adamsin being brought back to life. Catches me panicking in sleep, a small hand started to let my head. My eyes open very slowly. The carriage was stopped, I walked past the sleeping bodies. As I exit the carriage. I've noticed footprints around the exit of the carriage, these footprints were not if my party members. The prints were of an animal. The size couldn't be any human nor elf,I eased around the carriage. Scouting the area to see what beast had been lounging around the carriage. Nothing but owl's making noise out in the woods could be heard, I made my way to front of the carriage. As I climbed up top of the carriage. My worst nightmare came true, the merchant had been. Eaten in half!. The horsesvas well are no longer with us, I have very little time before that things comes back. I smoothly climbed back down. I can't make any noise while heading back to the carriage. Whatever done this is still around, I had a bad feeling about this trip. It was going to well for me. before making my way to the carriage, I grabbed the lantern used to bring light to the dark. I hope that this light doesn't bring me unwanted attention. I quickly made my way to the back of the carriage, I stumbled into the carriage. I fell into to Eten. I cautiously covered her mouth, whisper in her ear. " Listen to me closely!. Something has killed the merchant, same goes for the horses. Wake up the others. I've got my family. Tell them to be very quiet!". Eten was waking up the rest of the party. I gently woke up my wife, " baby. Please wake up!. Don't panic, but we have to go. Trust me!. Okay. Once we leave this carriage I want you to be very careful to not wake up our child, this is very urgent!." She can tell by the terror in my voice that this was nothing to be taking very lightly. it took us a little while for us to get ready to leave the carriage, this is going to extend our arrival at Nord. I stepped out first to scan the area once again before the rest stepped out. Still no noise was coming out of the woods, the party stepped out then my family followed. We set a formation where all of us was protecting my wife. The formation is the best option us to survive this night,we started to move with each step we took. I gripped the handle on my sword tighter. This is a real test of faith for my party, from their perspective it's thirty test of faith in me. The more we walked. The amount of footprints appeared, this is a horrible sign. Either we are following this creature,Or we walking straight to it. I can't freak out the party cause if they lose their cool, we all die. I whispered to my left where to mage was patrolling. " Alley!. Can you use fire magic?. Any kind will do in this situation!." He voice is very Shakey. " Y-y-yes i-can summon a very small flame.". That's great news for us, we journey forward a little bit more until I stopped at a tree covered in moss. I picked up a fallen branch. Took a piece of leather wrapped the moss from the tree, pointed at Alley. He lit the moss on fire. So far my party is doing a great job, I handed the handmade torch. To the dwarf in the back,I know they have no clue why I'm doing this. " Look, the more light we have right now is better. Also normally if your Fighting against any animal, they don't attack a huge animal without backup. I'm pretty sure by the tracks this creature is alone. So if we can create a big light. The animal will take us for a giant mob if people,or even better prey. Once again I've done the same thing too create another torch. The journey through these woods are going to be very confusing since I've never traveled through them during night. The night causes the woods the shape shift into a continuous path that leads to death. The sun still has hours before rising, so the danger will continue to grow until then. The woods are know for claiming many of lives due to several things. The number one is starvation. As long as they stay with me, we have a great chance of surviving this long night. A scream echoed through the woods, causing branches to fall off of trees. The scream confirmed my suspicion. The creature is a Bolf, that is the last thing I would want to encounter at this moment. Right now at this moment we have maybe a few minutes before it starts to charge at us, even though my idea works. The aggression of the Bold. It changes that idea, the Bolf doesn't care how big or small an being is. The flow of the red eyes is the only thing I've saw in the woods, the Bolf started to charge at us. While trees were falling down all I could notice is that he had the merchants body in his mouth.
