AN:I put the chapter in third person earlier to make it easier to introduce Horus and his family
After my precious hammer broke,I took out in a sprint into the forest. Kind of a dumb move since I don't have a map of the forest and haven't explored here yet. I was stuck and I needed to survive
After around 15 minutes I made a fire and sat around it,grabbing a stick and sharpening it with some random stone I found on the floor.
Now I was in a moment of peace I can truly appreciate the scenery. The slow,calm river to my right. The everlasting glades of emerald grass. Does anyone know how satisfying the crackling of a campfire sounds, it's like a massage for your ears.
I got up to explore the forest a bit more and saw this random cabin in the woods, now in normal circumstances I would never approach that cabin since I don't wanna anger a witch somehow and get turned into a Grimm or something like that.
I'm getting desperate to atleast have a chance of getting out the forest alive so I start approaching. As I close in, I hear some girl crying.
I'm prepared for the worst I've watched horror movies. I knock on the door and the girl starts crying louder so I panicked and smashed the door in.
Some creatures were throwing the girl around the room and I saw her presumably family lie on the floor with a hole through their throat. I stand there in shock for about a minute until I saw her thrown at me.
I caught her then ran for my campsite to grab my stick and put down the now unconscious girl on the ground. Do I look like I have a masters degree on bush-crafting it's dirty but atleast I'm not gonna wake up with a half broken back.
I saw the creatures running towards me so I ran towards them, predictably one leapt at me and I landed a perfect jab straight through into their (I think) heart sending them crashing to the ground in death. "Phew,thank God I was right" a creature tried leaping at the girl but a jab through the head fixed that problem and I felt a claw go through my arm. "ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!"
The pain was unexplainable,it felt like dying in fire. Out of rage,I charged at it with only my left arm and gave it the best hook I had. It got sent flying and I could sense a change in the air pressure.
"Little fucking maggots tore off my arm" I saw the fourth one and it seemed to crumple and compress. It's squeaking as it dies made my rage cooldown abit as I suddenly remembered the girl.
She was sat up,still with tears in her eyes and said "..." Nothing? What? I came over and she seemed to flinch and I noticed some damage on her throat "Shit,your voice gone" she seemed to be looking somewhere to my right,I looked down "Oh yeah,my arm hurts still. The worst of the pain is gone still hurts bad though. Not much of an arm is it now? Haha" She seemed confused then started to giggle a bit wiping the tears from her eyes "OH SHIT! I'm bleeding out! Do you got any banda... the bleeding stopped?" She took a stick and wrote something on the ground "Aura" "Heals faster" "Stops damage"
3 Days later
Me and the girl,Autumn walked through for days. We learnt how to hunt deer and catch fish,especially with one hand. Good thing I was left handed then since it would be an absolute headache to learn how to write again.
I told her about the stories of fighting Grimm and am now regaling her with my kill of an Ursa "It came at me with claws as sharp as a guillotine and aimed for the same purpose,I managed to duck and smash the bones in its knee so it couldn't walk properly.
It catches me with the second jab and my chest was scarred for life." I lifted my shirt a bit to show three claws five inches scarred on my chest, she had her hand to her mouth in a soft gasp. She regained the ability to speak but it's very soft.
It's soothing almost. "I came back with the rage of a lion and pounded its head. I set off the thunder dust on my weapon as well. It managed to survive but the sheer electricity from the lightning gave it a cardiac arrest and it convulsed to death"
I heard rustling in the area and I got up immediately. I was training her but most she can take is two Beowolfs before it gets dangerous. I heard voices and I got excited so I said "HEY,ANYONE THERE?!" "Horus! Your alive!" I grabbed Autumn's hand and ran over "Dad,thank God your here." "I saved Autumn,the girl, from some flesh Grimm and lost my right arm" "WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH YOUR ARM HORUS!" "I said I lost my arm fighting Grimm"
