-looked at it with a second thought, the equipment was lighter than I thought it would weight, the width of the telescope is the whole size of arm to shoulder it was a bit cumbersome but I sometimes managed, with a sudden belief I looked at the telescope and looked at the sky through the window the thought was “what am I doing” that thought bought a dilemma in me as stealing was wrong, at this point two consciences was in my head arguing of what to do

The first thought was I should steal this to benefit myself it could help me scout the area and help me see farther and wider, but the image of a crying poor and injured child halted me temporarily

The second burden was to leave it be, because of the certain commandments I follow and worth following till death I always knew everything has it’s ways of punishing

As time passed I had not moved a single inch, and decided not to touch it leaving it be as my exploration on this strange house resumed the house was indeed certainly strange, looking around more I found a couple of high quality papers and some kind of colored pencils it was wrapped in paper too finding this a bit strange I decided to leave it too, maybe leaving things is a good idea because if I were to disturb thing it can raise suspicion and get caught and maybe be experimented with their magic or-

My worries was interrupted with a series of strange noises hurriedly I ran toward the door but forgotten that the strange house is small and ended up hitting wooded wall, and all the noises outside went silent and was replaced with hesitant walk, putting my right eye on the heart shaped font I saw another of those horse-creatures again except this time, one of them was wearing a blouse and ended with a flared skirt with specific color, the other was wearing an orange shirt and wore short pants, the other was wearing white shirt and jeans

The three crusaders were taking careful steps toward the house and eyeing the structure as each step goes with their big and glinting eyes, panicking and do not know what to do I looked frantically and thinking everywhere and an idea came to me and it’s the worst one out of them all, I stepped backward and jumped through the now broken window as the pain in my back was a prickled sensation

As the katipunero slammed the ground he regained his composure swiftly as his adrenaline clouded his rational thoughts and with one goal in his mind Escape, as the man tripped over a bump-rock he entire composure left again and his sharp bolo sheath hit his head hard enough to cause him blurred vision

Meanwhile the three fillies were flying with reactions, the white furred one was shocked and could not move, while the orange one was ready to defend his friends, and the last one was eying the strange creature, in their minds they initially thought one of their friends was on their clubhouse, but instead flabbergasted with surprise as the creature jumped and broke the window on their clubhouse, but it tripped on a rock a hit it’s head with a strapped something

Meanwhile the man stood up once more but slowly made his way up and leaned his shoulder on the nearby tree as his blurry vision and ringing ears was he felt, as the man breathed in and out the last filly said something

“What are you?” One of the fillies blurted

Little did they know something was in the midst of the…

-----------------------------------------------Point of view--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Confusion, it was all I was currently experiencing right now I was waiting for them to prey on me instead I heard a strange vocal voice, I think they said something to me maybe an offer to surrender but no I did not come this far to surrender, so I slowly walked backwards into the forested foliage and assumed that I disappeared from their sight, my state of confusion was now gone as the blurry vision and ringing ears were reduced allowing me to have a better vision and hearing, planning on trekking back to camouflage base of operation was on my goals along with going back home.

A minute passed me, the pained sensation on my back shoulder was painful with every move I made in the area of the muscle, was sharp pain worried of what is in the shoulder I touched the area and notice something sticking out of it, it was sharp and it was painful every-time I move it grabbing it with my fingers regardless of the agony I pulled it out and Screamed out loud as the sharp pain was turned into a agonizing cry and panted as my legs felt wobbly and my arms spasms and fingers and lips twitching, as I looked on the sharp thing I pulled out of my shoulder, it was a shard and it’s very sharp, sharp enough to pierce a leather, and it was stained with very red fluid, with a wide eyed realization I untied and pulled off the bandana and painfully turning my back and distracting me with sharp pain in my back, it was one of those moment in my life that I felt really lightheaded and hurriedly tied my back with the rag I managed to only cover it partially before falling on the ground and crawled next to a shrub and pulled my bolo right next to me and putting my salakot against my head to act as a soft comforter against my head and passed out peacefully and hoped I will not di-

-----------------------------------------------------UnknownTime(Night)---------------------------------------------------------The forest floor I was lying in was unusually soft andPitch black was all I saw my eyeballs were moving underneath my eyelids and finally opened it and saw a lightly dimmed moonlight shining with an beautiful scenery around me, With leaves obscuring the moonlight while still reflecting the attraction it was a moment of strengthen resolve, I Would like this moment to continue but timing is important, Especially the time when the locals know about my presence on this strange land

Shooking my thoughts aside and stood up and resuming the trek I creepily sneaked through the heavy foliage of a forest and taking a random direction because of the dimmed vision taking careful steps to avoid something as I glanced at my back to avoid being caught off guard, As I randomly trekked a random path I Heard a sound of a howl it sounded like a dog except more high-pitched and strangely familiar, looking around I heard leaves, sticks and branches being disturbed as it got closer and closer to me as if it smelled my red fluid, I hastily walked randomly and unsheathed my weapon if the creature following me knows how to play with it’s prey then I should not underestimate the creature, as the disturbances became louder and louder so is the low growl, the silent was suddenly pierced with a loud growl and a jump from a nearby tree as the creature before me was unseen before this, a quick glance and the creature looked like it was made of sticks and branches except it’s eyes were ghostly green and the creature was large as a barrel, my mind was filled with overwhelming fear and wonder of this creature but I should exam-

My gawking was interrupted with the creature pouncing to me, I sidestepped and slash my bolo at the attacker, the predator roared in pain as it landed on the ground and swiped its clawed paw at me, the sensation on my leg was numbed by the adrenaline as I slashed it’s cheeks and finished it with a thrust of a weapon on the shoulder as the whole sharp weapon dig deep unto it’s bark and yelped in pain for the last time, retracting the blade I bashed the creatures head again and again until it was destroyed

Not wanting to see the carnage I flee away without looking back carefully not to attract attention and disappeared

-----------------------------------------------------Midnight-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I placed my hands on my knees panting , I looked at my large leg part and saw a laceration and luckily was not leaking any red fluids but the pain was excruciating and has a chance of infection

At this pace I’m never going to be back in time for my base of operation looking around I Saw a structure in the midst of the foliage, without a second thought I carefully placed my footings walking toward the structure and gazed at a cottage, it was larger than the strange house I encountered, coming downwards to the steep forest floor the cottage looked nice and it provided

A chicken coops, various small houses hanging enough to accommodate various birds a small stone bridge over the peaceful stream and doors and windows, not wanting to incite a crowd of horses ”I need to give them better name” I slowly made my way into the cottage, the decision maybe be bad but I need to steal some eggs so I can cook them, and maybe drink some of the water stream, if they are not poisonous to me or something
