"Manhunt" The flames began to die down as a soft breeze blew across the fields of South Window. Pesmerga grabbed a few more logs and threw them into the fire. He had spent most of the day travelling from the Wind Cave to South Window City,and would arrive in a few days.The rest of the afternoon he had spent searching for logs and such to chop up for a fire.He sighed to himself and slipped off his right gauntlet, slowly tracing the brilliant lines of the Rune etched into his right palm.It was yet another reminder of the cursed fate that had been so callously cast onto him, and ,fortunately, was of at least some assistance in his search for Yuber." Damnit Yuber...where are you..?" He picked up another log to throw into the fire, when he stopped, alerted to some movement behind him.Pesmerga heard a twig snap as something heavy stepped down on it. He slid his un-armored right hand down to the hilt of his sword, and slowly revealed the brilliant silver blade to the dark night sky.Suddenly, there was a loud crying sound...almost like a....."Wolves....." A pair of blue furred Wolves stepped close enough to Pesmerga for the fire to sillhouette their shadows against the ever-darkening grass.One of the wolves was obviously rabid..with foam dripping down it's blood spatterd fangs.Both of the wolves growled and bared their teeth at him...as three more wolves surrounded him on all sides. Pesmerga simply sighed to himself and readied his sword..he had fought hundreds of monsters much tougher than this...and in greater numbers as well. This might would at least give him some excersise for the night, as well as some fresh meat to roast over the fire. The first wolf arched it back and growled, throwing itself at Pesmerga. There was a bright yellow flash as two other wolves followed suit,and both of them promptly bit at air. Pesmerga's Counter Rune shone brightly as he ran forward with blazing speed and hacked the first wolf clean in half.The second lept to bite at his neck, but the rune once again flung Pesmerga quickly out of the way and into an almost automatic counter-attack. He spun and sliced through the neck of the rabid wolf, and then turned to face the last one. The wolf backed away and scamperd off wimpering, as Pesmerga wiped his blade clean ,sheathed it, and slid his gauntlet back over his right hand."Well..at least now i have something to eat, and tomorrow.. i will resume the search for Yuber. We will have our day of reckoning,"old friend", this is promise." He sat back down and placed some meat over the fire, had his supper, and went to sleep.
