…
All I see are the tree trunks and a white tunnel. My hearing only hears the wind, and I only feel Rejula on my back and the ground that I touch with my paws.
It doesn't take long for me to recognize the scenery. I am back at the river in four minutes of running.
I stop and look around and then at Rejula, I question her with a worried voice.
-Are you okay Rejula?
… No response.
I put her on the ground and see her with crossed eyes. I use [Analysis] on her and the white box shows a (Unconscious) state beside her race.
I guess I exaggerated a little bit. But it was good that she didn't fall down, next time I will be slow.
I put her back on my back and begin to walk towards my pack.
After one minute, I hear Camio's howl. Signalizing he saw something.
I look around and see a ton of wolves looking my way. I to walk out of the forest and Camio walks up to me and question me.
-Weren't you with the Silver wolf pack?
I smile nervously and answer him with a happy tone.
-Well, I ran here to see if this wolf could be helped by Tamiri.
Camio tilts his head and questions me.
-What's wrong with him and who is he?
I turn my expression into a serious and look around for Tamiri.
-Well, the problem isn't something I can tell you, and she is the Silver wolves elder partner.
He nods and begins to speak with a serious voice.
-Follow me. Tamiri is on the cave, she is resting due to healing Yomi, who got hurt last hunt. He is already hunting, so he is fine.
I nod and follow him into the Great wolf cave.
I am looking around in search of anyone I recognize, but I don't see anyone.
I guess the hunter's pack is hunting right now. But I at least wanted to see Setory.
We enter the cave and I see without much effort, but I look to Camio and see him trying to not bump into the wall, because he can't see.
I use [Elemental claws] and coat my right paw in fire so he can see.
He stops and speaks with me.
-Thanks for the light, but this is where I stop. I need to keep looking out for the pack.
I nod and cancel my [Elemental claw] and begin to walk past him.
I pass a familiar place, but I keep going forward. I see a small room, it's like Ateri's tribe home, but it's smaller and made of stone.
I enter and look around and see Tamiri sleeping with rough breathing.
I walk to her and wake her up by shaking her lightly. She wakes up and tries to see me, she questions me.
-Is that you Ammy?
I answer her with a worried voice.
-Yes, and are you alright?
She sits down and answers me with a happy tone.
-Yeah… I just needed some rest. I used my healing spell for too long. It's just a headache.
I keep a worried expression while looking at her in the dark.
She is gasping for air, has tired eyes and blood on her paws.
I question her with a serious voice but having still a worried expression.
-Can you use a recovery spell? This wolf I have on my back is cursed and her wounds are burnt, Amataz healed her a bit, but she needs a stronger heal.
She nods and I put Rejula on front of her. She wobbles towards the sleeping Rejula and sits down.
I question her state with a worried voice.
-Are you sure you can do this? You don't look so good.
She looks at me with tired eyes and smiles weakly. She speaks with a mocking voice, but it has a weak feeling behind it.
-I don't want to lose to you. Sorry, but I want Meritios as my partner.
She looks and Rejula and lowers her head, I put my paw on front of her chest and say with a serious voice.
-You already won. Meritios knows what you think about him, I told him.
She looks at me with surprised expression and tries to question me.
-Wh- How did you-
-It was pretty obvious Tamiri. Meritios did notice, but he wasn't sure. But for right now, rest. Rejula can hold on for now.
Actually, I am pretty sure that Meritios didn't notice. When I revealed it to him, he made a surprised expression for a bit. I guess he was too focused on hunting or in me. All though I think he is not the smartest person, he can be the most stupid one in some subjects.
I sigh in my head and Tamiri lies down there and immediately begins to sleep.
Wow, she was really tired. Rejula is still wounded, so I need to clean those wounds again.
I drag Rejula to a corner to the room and begin to pour water on her wounds. I look to her face and I see that she is enduring her pain while sleeping.
I finish cleaning the wounds and the ground and put her on my back and I curl around Tamiri and rest without sleeping.
Furiae must be sleeping since I don't feel tired at all.
But really, these first weeks has been filled with things to do. But I am not complaining, I just expected to be at least two or three days of peace and then action starts.
But I guess this a life under the need of survival. I got so used to being on top of the food chain that I never thought how animals must feel.
But for a "Battle-junkie" like Furiae used to call me, it's pretty good actually, because I hate to stay in one place and do nothing.
… How long have I been here? Ah, right. Two minutes. I guess I should train [Analysis] and some other skill or spell.
I look over my spells and skills and decide to train [Ice fangs], [Elemental fangs] and [Analysis], since I have Tamiri in front of me to use my [Analysis] on.
White boxes repeatedly begin to appear in front of me while I feel the warm feeling on my mouth from time to time.
Unknown / (Magical Fatigue) Young wild wolf / Threat: D+ / Class: Medic
Well, I am still bored. I guess I'll try to look up my memories.

…
I am really stupid to do that, I guess i should hav-
I wake up from my absent thinking while training due to someone moving on my back.
I look up and see Rejula waking up and looking around. I question her with excitement due to someone finally interacting with me.
-Rejula? How do you feel?
She looks at me with a confused expression and answers me with a calm tone.
-I feel fine. Where are we?
I answer her with the same excitement.
-In the Great wolf cave, in my pack's home.
She tries to move but makes a pained expression and goes back to lying down.
She questions me as she looks at her body.
-Didn't you say a wolf would heal me?
I look at the peacefully sleeping Tamiri and I answer her with a whisper.
-Yes, but this wolf was tired when we arrived, so I let her rest.
-Ngh…
Tamiri begins to wake up due to my voice. She begins to look around with a sleepy expression. I apologize to her with a sad voice.
-Ah… Sorry Tamiri. I didn't mean to wake you up.
She looks at me and speaks with a lazy tone.
-No… it's quite alright, I made you wait.
She looks around in the dark and tries to see anything in it.
I guess she can't see in the dark too. I better use [Thunder ball] to illuminate for now, since she is on top of my paws.
A small ball of thunder comes out of my mouth and begins to float in the room, illuminating it for a bit.
I speak with a surprised Tamiri with a calm voice.
-Tamiri, can you stand up? Then please.
She gets her attention off the thunder ball and looks at me and nods. She begins to stand up, and I put Rejula on the ground in front of her.
The [Thunder ball] goes away and I begin to illuminate the room with [Elemental claws], since I can keep it on without using my mana.
Tamiri and Rejula look at me with surprised expressions. I break the ice by asking Tamiri with a calm tone.
-Tamiri, can you heal Rejula? She has been cursed, burnt and has big wounds. Amataz healed her enough that she won't bleed if she doesn't move too much, but that's it.
Tamiri shakes off her surprised expression and turns it in a serious one while answering me.
-Yes, but the curse might depend on its type.
I nod and answer her.
-It's an Asimilix curse. You just need to constantly heal her. Right now it's on a mid-level curse.
She looks at me with a surprised expression and I answer her before she questions me.
-I saw through [Analysis].
She looks at Rejula and nods. She begins to use a healing spell. I begin to [Analyze] Rejula.
-?
And get surprised at the new information that showed.
Tamiri looks at me and I shake my head, showing it was nothing.
But what really happened was with the box.

So, I guess my [Analysis] level up when I was absent minded. Now it shows their health. I was in question at first but with this, I don't have any more questions.
This system is like a game.
I just played some video games because I was out of jobs most of the time. But I never got into them though.
Level, skills, spells, titles and monsters. What is this world? I need to talk with Furiae as fast as I can, maybe she can answer me that.
I get back to paying attention to Rejula and notice that the wounds are closing.
The curse is gone and the burned fur appears on top of the closed wounds.
I see… Tamiri is a strong healer and wolf. Even though she just rested for two hours, she still heals without rest.
I use [Analyze] on her and see there is only ¼ of her mana.
She stops and begins to gasp for breath rapidly.
She begins to fall down, but I support her and congratulate her.
-Thanks Tamiri, you did it. The silver wolves are going to be grateful for your work.
She smiles at me and faints. I put her down and look at Rejula.
She stand up and stretch. she looks at me and opens her mouth.
-AMffhfds!
I stop her by pressuring her mouth with [Telekinesis] to close and whisper to her.
-Shh… Let the one who helped you sleep.
I stop pressuring her mouth and she nods. We begin to exit the cave with her joyfully humming.
In the middle of the path I talk with her in a happy tone.
-I guess being unable to move for some days must be annoying. You seem the energetic type like me as i hate to stay still for something other than sleep.
She answers me while following behind me.
-Yeah it was annoying, but I am not an energetic type. I am more like a serious type. But Ammy, can I ask you something?
I look back at her without stopping walking and answer her with a happy tone.
-It depends, if its about me then no.
If its about how i got so powerful then i won't say nothing about it.
And even if i talked about it, nobody would believe me though. If the wolves are so afraid of humans, imagine if I said that I killed one while having a broken arm.
Then, luck got on my side and I found a health potion in the human belonging's and got my arm fixed up.
Next I befriended the crystal lizards, they then brought me to their home and their elder wanted me to kill him. I decided to battle him due to some grudges of my past life, and after some talking he accepted it, I fought him in even footing and won.
So many questions appear if you weren't me in that time. Only Furiae knows since she could see my memories.
But i don't care if someone believes me or not, i just want to find my reason to live, a reason to hold my life closer like i hold Furiae close.
But I digress…
Rejula speaks with a serious voice.
-It's that what made your eyes so lonely?
I stop walking and she stops behind me and I look forward and answer her with a depressed tone.
-Yes. I had a lot of time to think when I was alone in a cave in pain.
I want to scream my pain someday, but I can't scream it here. Since this a new life, I just need to endure the pain of memories and feelings.
…What am I thinking? I guess I just got back to my previous mind set.
I continue to walk in the silence between me and Rejula.
We finally get out of the cave and I sit down on the entrance. I look the sky and notice its dusk.
I guess we have been in there for a long time.
Rejula stops in front of me and continues to question me with a depressed tone.
-Do you seek something?
I look at her back with a serious expression and answer her with a calm tone.
-Yes, but don't worry, i am definitely going to find it.
She looks at me with a slightly surprised eyes and a smile. I look back at her with a smile.
I suddenly hear someone getting close to us. I look to my right and see Setory walking up to me while looking around.
I greet him with a happy smile.
-Setory! Hello, I am back.
He looks to me and he makes a surprised expression. He gets close to us and begins to question me.
-Already? And who is this wolf?
I answer him with a proud voice.
-Yeah, I ran with her on my back. This is Rejula, she is the Silver wolves elder partner. She was injured when I arrived at their home and decided to bring her here to Tamiri.
He looks at me and then at Rejula. She smiles and he looks back to me, and nods with a calm expression. He then sits beside me and questions me with a worried voice.
-Where is Amataz?
I answer him with a calm tone.
-With the Silver wolves. They will probably arrive after this moon.
He nods and continues speak with me in a calm tone.
-You better rest for now then, can you stay with that wolf? Just in case the cowards try to begin trouble with her.
I nod and look at Rejula and speak with a serious voice.
-Rejula, you are going to sleep with me. It's just in case okay?
She nods and I look back at Setory and question him.
-Where is Meritios? He should have been back now.
He looks at the forest and answers me with a worried voice.
-Mari decided to only come back after hunting at least four deers or a bear and two deers. They want to finish this qui-
Setory is interrupted by Camio's howl and we look at the forest.
We begin to see the hunter's pack with three deers. Meritios and Kilitio are carrying one, Kaz, Limely and Bas are carrying one and carrying one is the two new wolves together with Mari.
Now i think of it, I never learned the calls of those two. I better ask Setory, so I don't upset them.
I look at Setory and ask him.
-Setory, I wasn't in those two wolves call ritual. What is their call?
He answers me while looking at them.
-The grey wolf is Kisio and the other one is Yomi.
I nod and Setory begins to walk up to them. I look at Rejula and we follow behind him.
I [Transform] in the way into my younger form and we arrive in front of them.
We sit down and they drop the corpses in front of us. I greet them with a happy tone.
-Hey everyone! Doing work huh?
Meritios, Kilitio and Mari look at me with confused expressions and Setory answers them before they question me.
-She ran here with the Silver wolf's elder partner on her back. But anyways, good job!
They all look at Setory and proudly smiles. I request Mari with excitement.
-Hey Mari, after this moon, can I go with you guys and help with the hunting?
She nods with a smile.
Setory begins to request them with a serious voice.
-Leave one here for the pack, the last two you can put inside the cave.
I look at Setory with a confused expression while Bas, Limely, Kaz, Kisio and Yomi drag two corpses to the cave, and I question him.
-Won't the corpses rot?
He looks at me with a serious expression and answers me.
-Remember that the Great wolf cave is still a dungeon in the inside. Food there takes longer to rot because the dungeon feeds their corpses with mana.
I tilt and try to question his knowledge, but he answers it before I questioned him.
-That was what Amataz told me. I really hope that he is right.
Suddenly Mari questions me with a calm voice.
-So, is this the wolf you brought Ammy?
I look at her and see her looking at Rejula and then at me. I nod and speak with Rejula.
-So, Rejula. Can you hunt? Since I am going to hunt with the Hunter's pack, you are going to hunt with me.
Rejula looks at me with an angry expression and answers me.
-Of course i'm going with you. It's better than staying back like these wolves here.
I nervously at her truthful comment.
Kilitio and Meritios drag a deer corpse towards the cave's entrance and howls. Almost immediately, the cowards run towards it so they can eat it.
It gets dark and the pack goes to sleep and I and Rejula sleep together, away from the pack while waiting for her pack to arrive.
…
(I fucking hate this doc manager. It keeps deleting the spaces between things.
Fixed them. But I'll have smileys on them from now on :I)
