The New Adventure

Chapter 2

Previous Chapter

I stand up as I hear howling again, It sounded like the crying and howling were nearby to the west, so I start sneaking toward the direction trying not to step on any leafs. As I slowly make my way towards the wolfs I start thinking about different ways to kill them.

I will use my Rune's for this one, No need to get hurt when I can take them out from afar.

It sounds like they are right in front of me now so I bunch up against a tree and slowly peer to the side, There is what look to be two wolf's made of wood slowly walking a... Young white unicorn with a Purple and Pink mane.

Should I help it?

One of the wolfs grabs one of the little unicorns hind legs and threw it against a tree, They are toying with the poor thing.

I am not going to leave it here to die.

I stick my hand inside of one of my pouches looking for the right runes I needed.  There we go, One air rune and one fire rune, Just what I need.

I put a rune in each hand as I remember what the magic instructor taught me.

"Put a rune in each hand and then smash them together, Wait for the light to appear and then open them. With the element floating in between your hands, Throw it at your target as if you were throwing a ball at them, And make sure your not too close to the target or you might end up killing yourself."

If I aim just right hopefully I'll be able to hit both of them with the ball of fire.

I stood up from behind the tree.

" Hey!"

The wooden wolfs take their attention off the little unicorn and look at me.  I push both of the rune's together, There is a orange light emitting from my hands as the wolfs begin to growl and walk towards me.  I opened my hands and saw a floating ball of fire in the middle of them, The wolfs stop and look at the fireball with a look of curiosity in their eyes before it turns to one of fear, as if they know whats coming.

I launch the fireball at both of the wolf's, One of them jumps out of the way just in time but the other gets directly hit in its side with the fireball, It lets out a howl as it instantly bursts into flames.  The other wolf charges at me from the side, I try to reach for my sword but it turns out, that's exactly what it wanted me to do.  The wolf latches its mouth onto my hand before I can grab the sword and starts shaking it like a rag doll, I try to force it out of it's mouth, but I learn it only causes more pain as the wolf did not let go.  I start to loose the feeling in my hand so I kick the wolf in the side As it finally lets go, I look at my hand to see that blood is dripping out of the leather glove.

I look back at the wolf to see its walking back and forth waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

If I reach for my sword it will create an opening, But if I don't I will have to fight it with my bare hands.

The wolf stops and lets out a growl as it gets ready to attack.

Looks like I am going to fight a wolf with my bare hands.  Oh Saradomin I'm going to die.

It jumps at me as I manage to grab it by the throat before it forces me to the ground, It only causes me to loose more feeling in my hand as it's the only thing keeping the wolf from turning my neck into it's dinner.

I use my other hand to punch the wolf to the side of it's face, The blow temporarily stuns it, which is just what I needed.

I use both of my hands to throw the wolf off of me, Giving me time to get up and unsheathe my sword.  The wolf jumps at me again, But this time I'm prepared.  I jump out of the way as he tries to pounce on me, When he turns around he is met by my blade.

The wolf lets out a slight whimper as I stab it between the eyes, It's ear twitches before closing it's eyes and goes limp. I use my foot to push it's head off my blade, I sheathe my sword and then turn my attention to the hand that wolf bit.

Now that the adrenaline was wearing off it was hurting quite a bit, Nothing a lobster can't fix.

I look through another one of my pouches to see what kind of food I have with me.

Two lobsters, Three cods, And one Trout. I need to be more careful, wasting food would be the death of me out here. I grab one of the lobsters and start to eat it, I am relieved to feel it almost instantly start working as the pain in my left hand goes away. I look at my hand one more time before turning my attention to the unicorn.

There was tears streaming down it's face and it's hind leg was still bleeding, It had a look of pure fear in it's eyes. With a hind leg like that it probably cant walk, And I didn't just kill two wolf's made of wood just so more can come and make the unicorn their food. When I took a step near it, The unicorn curled up into a ball and started trembling.

Being as gentle as I can, I walked up to the small unicorn and picked it up, Maybe there is a path nearby that leads to a town that can fix it's leg so I can release it back into the wild.

I start walking through the tree's again and it isn't long until I find a path, Finally, Now to see where the path leads to.


I am walking down the path still carrying the unicorn when I see a strange hut, But I dont get long to inspect it before the unicorn starts... Barking? Didn't know unicorn's barked. It's not long before I hear another bark from inside the hut, A white unicorn with a purple mane comes out accompanied by a zebra, Both are a few feet larger than the unicorn I am carrying.

The white unicorn looks a the Zebra and barks, It looks back to me with eyes filled with rage. It didn't take long to figure out that it was the mother of the injured unicorn, But if it attacks I will do whatever I have to do to survive.

The Zebra uses it's mouth grabs a vial filled with green liquid and throws it at my feet, The liquid quickly spreads as gas rises from it. I try to move but the green liquid was acting as glue sticking my feet to the ground.  The gas reaches my helmet and its not long before... Darkness fills my vision.
