Evening found Hiro, Kraven, and the baby near the entrance to the forest that was on their way to the prairie. The forest was eerie and dark, little or no sunlight getting through the treetops. The trees were pretty thick and there was a path, so Hiro assumed they would not get lost. The baby was still asleep, luckily for Kraven and Hiro. They looked ahead into the forest, thinking to themselves. They were considering whether or not they should continue on or stop for the night. They both looked to the baby, contemplating.
"I say we keep going. We should get to Bale as soon as possible so we can speak with King Albert and Minister Noish." Hiro remarked. Kraven shrugged and nodded, agreeing.
"Yeah, I want to know what that thing was and what it wanted with the baby." Kraven added. Hiro nodded and they began to walk into the forest. Kraven and Hiro looked around, squinting to see as the forest seemed to grow darker and darker. Soon, they could only see a few feet in front of them. They had to resort to holding their hands out in front of them so they would not run into any trees. It was also very quiet. An eerie quiet. They both were having the feeling that they were being watched. They looked to eachother and being a mere foot or so away from eachother they could faintly see eachother's faces. They nodded and pulled their weapons out. They could hear faint sounds as they walked. Hiro and Kraven soon stopped as a large wolf jumped in their way.
"Damn! There must be a whole pack of these in this forest and we can't see!" Kraven cursed as he pulled the string tight, ready to loose an arrow. Hiro told him to be quiet and he powered up an energy ball, giving them enough light to see that behind the wolf that was in front of them there were several more. Hiro and Kraven looked to eachother, a look of fear on both of their faces. The wolf in front jumped up at them and Kraven loosed his arrow, which buried itself in the wolf's neck. this made it fall to the side and Hiro slashed it's neck, killing it. The other wolves growled and approached.
"I'll go to the left, and you go to the right. And Hiro, try not to die." Kraven said as he jumped to the left, Hiro mimicking his actions, going to the right. The wolves split up and chased them. Hiro ran and soon stopped in a clearing with a bit of light, surrounded by wolves. Hiro grimaced and got into a ready stance. A wolf leaped at him and he spun around, slashing at it and knocking it back. The wolf yelped as it landed on the ground and ran at him again. Hiro took his sword and thrust it behind him, impaling the wolf's chest. He swung his sword forward and the wolf went flying, knocking another wolf down. Hiro flew up and looked down, powering up an energy ball. A wolf jumped up at him and he shot the energy ball down, exploding the wolf.
Meanwhile, Kraven was trying to dodge the wolves and loosing arrows at them at the same time. The wolves were lunging at him and he rolled to the side, loosing arrows at their necks. One wolf tackled him and went for his neck. He held his bow sideways, trying to push it off. Kraven reached behind him as the wolf was bearing down on him. He pulled an arrow from his quiver and stuck it through the wolf's throat. The wolf fell to the side, dead. Kraven jumped up and began to run. The wolves were catching up quickly. Kraven jumped to the side and in speed appearing to match that of lightning, he loosed an arrow into the lead wolf's snout. The wolf spun out of control due to shock and the wolves crashed into eachother. Kraven chuckled until he heard a loud growl.
Hiro had now been blowing away several groups of wolves but he knew he should be trying to find Kraven. He landed and slayed the last of the wolves with his sword. He then heard a monstrous growl and turned slowly around to see a wolf roughly ten times the size of the other ones. His eyes widened and he turned back around and flew forward over the path, the wolf following closely. The path twisted and turned wildly, so he had to slow down a bit to avoid ramming into trees. The wolf was catching up to him fast. He soon saw something faintly and noticed that it was Kraven, being chased by a wolf identical to the one chasing him. As Kraven and Hiro passed eachother, they readied their weapons. Kraven shot an arrow down into the throat of the wolf that chased Hiro while Hiro impaled the throat of the wolf that chased Kraven. The baby was crying loudly at this point.
Kraven and Hiro stood up straight, putting their weapons away and turning around to face eachother. They grinned and began laughing. Soon the baby stopped crying and was laughing as well. Hiro and Kraven walked up to eachother and were laughing hard now. Their sides were in pain and tears strolled down their faces.
"Ahh, man! We defeat a flaming monster of shadow but almost get our asses kicked by some little mutts, how sad is that?!" Kraven asked, and they both continued laughing. After several minutes they stopped laughing and looked around. Hiro spotted a little spot of light in the distance.
"It's the exit! Those dumb wolves chased us to the exit of the forest!" Hiro remarked, snickering. Kraven grinned and they began to walk towards the exit.
"Can we hunt for some food or something? I'm hungry." Kraven announced, smiling.
"You are always hungry but yeah, I guess we should stop off to get some food." Hiro added as they left the darkness of the forest and entered the blinding sunlight. Hiro and Kraven kept walking and soon found a small oasis. They set up camp and fished there for food, cooking it by the fire they made. After a while, they were all full and laid back, beginning to doze off.
