As Eligot and Amy start their journey toward the capital after about six hours of travel they reach a big forest. "Should we go through the forest it could save us about a day worth of time?" Eligot asks, "Yeah i don't see a problem with going through it it may have some animals but it won't be anything that's too dangerous." Amy said calmly, "It's possible we could get attacked from the trees, in case something like that happens are you ready to fight?" Eligot asked, "Of course!" Amy answered immediately, "Well either way we should probably set up a camp here it's getting late and it's safer to get rest here than in the forest" Eligot said, "Yeah now that you mention it it is getting dark, okay i'll set up the tents and you go get wood for the fire" Amy answered, "Okay sure" Eligot answered as he went tot he outskirt of the forest to cut some branches off of a tree. He notices a tree with a few weak branches and decides to break them off. After breaking the branches he gets ready to head back but he suddenly hears a howl, Eligot turns around immediately and sees a wolf about to attack him. He pulls his rapier out deciding to fight back, as the wolf jumps to attack him he stabs it in the stomach and throws it on the ground, "Oh damn, That was unexpected i think i killed it" Eligot said as her turned around to leave. But suddenly the wolf jumps at him again, he slices it on the chest with his rapier making it fall again "What is this, it isn't a normal wolf" Eligot said as the wolf somehow got up again, and that's when Eligot noticed the runic writing on the wolves back "So a runebone, I didn't know that animals can be runebones" Eligot said clearly dumbfounded by this discovery "oh well guess i'll have to be a little more serious then" Eligot said as the runic writing on his white rapier started glowing red and moments after runic writing appeared on his arm as well, "You aren't the only Runebone you damn mutt" Eligot said while smirking. The wolf jumps at him yet he points his rapier at it not moving and he mutters the words "Mana Shot." A red ball the size of a pebble appears on top of his rapier and it shoots off at immense speed piercing the wolves heart ending it's life. "Hm i didn't expect to have to use my power so soon, but something is wrong even though it's a runebone no wolves should be around the outskirts of the forest." Eligot said deep in thought "i should probably go check on Amy." He said as he picked up the wood and left. He reached the camping spot and saw Amy sitting on the ground waiting "There you are, what took you so long idiot" Amy asked visibly annoyed at Eligot's late arrival, "Yeah sorry i got attacked by a runebone wolf." Eligot said clearly expecting sympathy, "A runebone wolf? That doesnt exist idiot" Amy said in a mocking tone, "No i am telling the truth the wolf had a rune in its back, i even had to use my runic powers to take it out" Eligot said defending his previous statement, "But animals can't be born as runebones someone must've given that wolf a rune artificially." Amy said worriedly, "Well no worries now i killed it." Eligot said expecting praise for his deed, "That's not what im worried about idiot, im worried about who it might've been and why" Amy said seriously, "well better think about it tommorow i wasted a lot of energy using my runic powers can you stay on guard first so i can get some sleep?" Eligot asked, "Yeah sure i will be the first one on guard" Amy answered, as Eligot went to sleep. About an hour later he is awaken by Amy screaming his name, he immediately jumps up and opens the tent door seeing a horrid image of Amy being strangled by an unknown figure
