Keep the momentum

I spent the rest of the day trying to bury the bodies. At this point I wasn't getting anymore stats from it. But the smell was getting very bad. So I worked till sun down again.I only had seven more left to bury.

I could of keeped going but I was missing my bed. So I went back into town and slept till morning. When I woke up I fished, ate breakfast, then went to the bodies.

What I saw when I arrived frightened me. The unburied bodies were mutilated. The bodies was thrown around having parts missing . Two of the bodies were also missing.

Looking at this I puked. Once my stomache was empty I ran back. As I ran I kept a look out for anything in the area. Once behind the wall I ran to where I had moved the weapons.

I grabbed a spear and walked back out slowly. I went back to the village entrance hole. I searched the area looking for any kind of movement.

[Perception +1]

Soon I saw movement on the side of a large out cropping of rocks a fair distances away. It was to far away to get a good look at it, but it seemed to stare back at me. Soon though it climb around the side disappearing from site.

I couldn't see it clearly, but it reminded me of a gaint lizard. Not godzilla sized but definitely horse sized. Also seeing it scurry across the side of a cliff didn't help me.

Staring at the wall surrounding the deserted village I felt less confident then before. Now I needed to focus on combat. I also figured that I should max everything quicker.

With this a I start with my fire bending. Opening my hand I willed the fire to form there. Instead of a quick puff of flame I continued to pour chi into my hand.

[Chi +1

Control +1]

With this I began part two. I slowly tried to move the fire around me. Then I ranaround the town.

[Agility +1]

With my fire still burning I ran stopping every so often to readjust the flames. I also was on high alert so the beast wouldn't. Due to my endurance skill I didn't need to rest.

As I ran I could feel my speed getting faster, the tiny flame growing stronger. Soon my flame was extinguished. I couldn't seem to will anymore into existence either.

I stoped for a minute to see if I could fix it. So I sat on a chair in front of a broken house. I concentrated trying to feel the chi.

[Skill learned

Chi recovery- the ability to restore chi while resting

Rank depends on Chi

Rank- B]

Looking at it it remined me of stamina recovery a bit. So it should do something similiar when it maxes out to. So I ignored it my chi till I got it back.

So I started running again while keeping a lookout for anything. It wasn't till the next morning when the stat maxed out.

[Agility maxed

New skills earned

Fast as lightning- you have the ability to move as quick as lightning

Of course I wanted to test it. So with this in mind I started running... again. I started very fast but soon I started to quickly gain speed. Soon I found myself about to crash into a fence.

I ended up ramming into the wooden fence before I could stop. I was fine but the fence was destroyed.

While this skill was usefull it seemed to only help going in a straight line. I needed to find a way to fix that.

I feel as soon as I fix one thing I need to fix something else. With this in mind I go to fix one of the original problems, my chi and control.

So I started forming balls of flames and making them float around. As I was doing this I rember watching something once. It was a person who would shoot out fire in the shape of spears.

With this in mind I focused on one ball of fire. I tried shaping it to be longer, slowly it took shape. It looked like just a large stick.

Not detered I shot it forward. It struck a nearby house. It shattered against the wall then showered the area with flames.

Seeing the house on fire I began to panic. Everything in this town was made pretty much of wood. The dry terrian had baked all of it to.

Thinking quickly I tried using fire bending on it. Luckily it did seem to work. I pulled all the flames from the house and brought it towards me.

Due to my panic I didn't notice that I brought the flames to close. Soon the fire engulfed my hands in itself.

Due to certain skills I didn't feel much from it other then a tingling like when a leg falls asleep. My skin though was burnt. My regeneration was slowly healing it but the fire still causing some damage.

The burnt flesh was no longer spreading and istead began to heal. With thst done I focused on the flames. I willed them out of existance.

Looking at the scorched house I figured I should do my fire bending somewhere. The only place I can think of is out into the rocky plains.

Honestly with the skills I should be strong enough. With this I walked to the village entrance. Looking out to the out cropping I had seen it on.

My perception had leved up so I could see the rock much clearer then before. Clinging on the side basking in the sun was the lizard. Now with a clear look I could now see what it was.

It was the size of a horse with green scales it face looked like that of a lion but from its mouth flicked a large tounge between large fangs. Its feet were flat with long toes at the end of the toes were sharp claws. It also seemed to have a long thick lizard tail.

As I observed it I saw something that made me more worried. It seemed to be in a pack of them.

On top of the pilliar sat the leader. It was twice as big as the others with what looked frills around its head.
