832 Words
It has been three days since Azariah has remained unconscious in the forest. Kitten has established a camp and has been diligently caring for her during this time.
Azariah finally regains consciousness, completely taken aback by her surroundings, and notices Kitten's presence.
She addresses Kitten with a question in a formal tone, "May I inquire as to why we find ourselves in this location, Kitten?"
Kitten, with tears welling up in her eyes, struggles to relay the unfortunate news. Finally, she musters the courage to reveal the truth - the village has been destoyed.
Surprised by this revelation, Azariah responds, expressing her lack of surprise due to the strength of the enemies they faced.
Kitten is taken aback by this response, pondering whether Azariah truly lacks concern for the destruction.
Azariah rises to her feet, acknowledging that it is now time to leave. However, as she attempts to walk, she stumbles and falls back down.
Kitten observed as she witnessed her companion faint on the ground, sensing that something was amiss. Realizing that she needed to seek assistance, she fortunately had set up camp on the outskirts of the forbidden forest. Experiencing an unfamiliar sensation, she peered at the forest with excitement, despite being unsure of the reason behind it.
Carefully lifting Azariah and placing her inside the tent, Kitten acknowledged, 'You have a fever, and I should refrain from moving you further.'
Azariah weakly opened her eyes and reassured Kitten, 'I will be alright.'
Surprised as Azariah coughed up blood, Kitten expressed concern, stating, 'That doesn't seem promising. We must find help for you, Azariah.'
Remaining steadfast, Azariah replied, 'Please do not worry, Kitten. I will be alright.'
Throughout the remainder of the day, Kitten pondered the situation and realized what she needed to do. However, Azariah had once again lost consciousness.
That night, after providing Azariah with homemade medicine, Kitten embarked on her mission. Aware of the limited time available, she walked tirelessly throughout the night, being wary of the danger that surrounded her.
She skillfully evaded monsters, carefully navigating her way through giant spiders, killer plants, ogres, wolves, and various other threats. This perilous journey persisted throughout the entire night and the following day until she finally arrived at a place where she felt secure.
The serene ambiance overwhelmed her as she marveled at the lake adorned with a magnificent waterfall. The full moon hung overhead, illuminating the sky with a myriad of stars.
Kitten found herself aware of the advancing hour and realized that she needed a bath, as she had not cleaned herself in quite some time. She proceeded to carefully remove her clothing and placed them neatly to the side. With a composed demeanor, she stepped calmly into the water and began to cleanse herself.
Given the distant sound of breaking sticks, she couldn't help but contemplate what or who might be responsible. Her curiosity led her to question if there was someone present.
However, all she encountered was absolute silence, leading her to conclude that her senses must have deceived her.
As Kitten immersed herself in the water, the serene ambiance created by the radiant full moon above brought her a sense of relaxation. Suddenly, she detected a pleasant aroma in the air. Although perplexed by this newfound warmth and unfamiliar sensation, she couldn't comprehend its origin.
In the distance, she noticed a figure approaching and impulsively called out, demanding to know who it was.
To her shock and dismay, an ogre stepped into the light.
Kitten's startled reaction prompted her to release a scream.
The ogre, grinning maliciously, addressed her with the proposition of providing him with companionship for the evening.
As the ogre drew closer, Kitten experienced an overwhelming surge of fear.
Just as the ogre attempted to seize her, a wolf-like creature intervened, launching an attack against the ogre.
Defiantly, the wolf warned the ogre to leave Kitten alone, cautioning that there would be consequences if he persisted.
Kitten's legs trembled, not from fear, but from an inexplicable thrill. She struggled to comprehend why she felt an undeniable connection with the wolf, who she soon deduced was a powerful werewolf standing at an impressive height of 7 feet. When the ogre tried to strike the wolf, his attempt was effortlessly thwarted as the wolf successfully caught his fist.
.The ogre launched yet another assault, displaying enhanced swiftness this time. In response, the werewolf swiftly evaded the attack and retaliated by executing a powerful kick to the back of the ogre's head. Possessing remarkable agility and strength, the werewolf swiftly closed in, delivering a forceful drop kick below the ogre's waistline, followed by a rapid and accurate uppercut to the throat. Consequently, the ogre hastily retreated from the confrontation.
In an inexplicable burst of Happiness, Kitten leaped with joy, her motive unbeknownst to her. Acting impulsively, she embraced the werewolf without second thought.
However, amidst the sudden turn of events, a realization dawned upon her: she had forgotten that she stood entirely unclothed.
