Last time I left off, in the darkness, I, Jameson Thornwood, had just seen a blue-eyed wolf.

Chapter 3
"Rusl, come here." I said while gripped my unsheathed sword.
Rusl hurried over with great difficulty. I was surprised that Yuki didn't help him. She was occupied with hissing at the wolf. Rusl got to Yuki and I and put his torch in front of me to see what we were looking at.
"A monster," he said.
There was a shield on the wolf's back. "Hey, why do you think it has that shield?" I asked while rubbing my eyes. The wolf had taken that as an opportunity, and pounced on me and ran off.
I groaned when I figured out what had happened.
"You alright?" asked Rusl.
"Yeah," I got up, "Yuki has given me a lot of practice on the whole pouncing thing.."
I noticed that Yuki was staring at me. I had just then remembered that when a trained tiger did that, they were waiting to see if they should chase whatever they just had come across.
"Go." I said to her, and she ran off in the direction were the wolf had went.
"The shield that the wolf had had, that was on the wall of another villager's" Rusl said after a small silence.
There was then a small yelp in the distance, which I knew to be Yuki. I ran over to where I heard the sound. Yuki was on the ground and the wolf was running away.
I put my sword over my head, aimed then I threw it at where the wolf was. It narrowly got away.
I got my sword, put it in its sheath and walked over toward Yuki. She had only one cut, but the cut was deep. Rusl hobbled over and inspected the cut.
"My wife could bandage this up." He said.
I picked up Yuki and followed Rusl to the house. He opened the door, and before I knew it, I was sitting on the ground with Yuki-all bandaged up- at my side. I was petting Yuki and contentedly staring at the ceiling.
"Uh," I said, "I was sent here to pick up the gift for the Royal Family. Do you know where I could pick it up?"
Uli just finished bandaging Rusl, and she was sitting on a chair near the coach that Rusl was sleeping on.
"One of the black monsters had stolen it." She said.
I thought for a moment, then I said, "I won't be able to travel back to Hyrule Town when Yuki is injured. I'm sure that my boss won't mind if I stayed here for a bit and looked for your son." I was looking at the floor while I said that.
There was a small silence,"That would be wonderful, but I think you should wait while my husband heals before you head out. I'm sure he'd want to accompany you, James."
I yawned, "Sure, sounds good. Uh, do you have any extra blankets and pillows I could borrow?"
Uli nodded, "Of course. You probably saved my husband's life today. It's the least I could do." She got up and got for me a blanket and two pillows.
"Thanks." I yawned, and put a pillow under Yuki's head and I lied next to her and put the blanket over both of us. I fell asleep before I said goodnight and even put the other pillow under my head.
The next morning, I woke when Yuki was licking my face.
"Its nice to see that your ok, girl." I said as I patted her on the head.
"Excuse me, James?" I turned to Uli, who had talked, "Every morning Rusl is supposed to fish for the food for the day. And because he is hurt-"
I interrupted her," Of course I'll fish for food. How many fish do I need to get?
"It was usually nine fish when Colin was here. I can eat one fish per meal. When Rusl wakes up he'll probably be hungry, I would think four fish for him. So covering Rusl and I would be seven fish." She explained.
"Ok," I looked around, "Where is a fishing rod that I could use?" I got up and stretched.
Uli got up from where she was and got something from behind the coach. She handed me a fishing rod and said, "Thank you for all your help, James."
I smiled and walked out the door. The first thing that caught my eye when I got out side was the beautiful sunrise. The next thing was the beautiful color of green, the trees surrounding the village were.
I took a deep breath and walked to the rive near Uli and Rusl's house. I followed the river until I saw a small lake. There was a small dock to fit the lake on the other side of a building. I walked to the dock and then finally realized that I didn't know how to fish.
I tried to remember how my good knight buddy, Luke, fished. The only thing I could remember was that you put the bobber in the water and when it was pulled down, you pull up the rod. I literally punched myself for not remembering the obvious.
I was about to start fishing when I heard a scream.
"Beth, Beth! My poor Beth! The monsters have kidnapped you!"
