16. You're Giving This To Me?!

"Lance, The Sun's have already set. We should head back." Lance fell asleep laying against the big wolf's corpse. Vixen was trying to wake him gently as it was growing dark, and by the time they got back, it would be early morning. So she wanted to hurry.

"Mmmmm, Not now mom. I'm tired!" Lance spoke in a sleepy state, clearly not remembering where he was and still sleeping.

"WAKE UP!" Vixen's voice echoed in Lance's head loudly. Startling him awake.

He jumped to his feet and grabbed the hilt of the sword. "What! What's going on? Are the wolves back?"

"No you idiot, It's night, and very dark. we should collect the teeth and get going."

"Just the teeth? Seems a waste to leave their hides as well though." Even if he couldn't craft anything with them, he felt he could probably sell them.

"Fine, just examine the bodies and put the items in your inventory, and let's go already." She was growing anxious as she pulled out the map and started studying it.

"Oh? I can do that?" Lance walked over to the corpses of the smaller wolves and examined them.

"Hey! That's pretty neat." He began walking from body to body, inspecting each one and collecting the loot. He noticed that not all of them had the same drops. Some had 2 fangs, others had 1. Some had 4 claws, while some had none. All in all, he grabbed all he could and looked in his inventory.

"Whoa! All Uncommon green stuff and one rare blue." Lance was eying the drops. If he could find a blacksmith willing to craft for him, he would increase his strength tenfold with this stuff. Without a second thought, he pockets the loot and starts heading out of the forest.

It took quite a bit of time to finally leave the woods. But they made it, and still in one piece. The Suns were long since gone, their only light was from the moons. Hours went by before the pair finally made it to the front gates. The gates were closed tightly with two guards standing outside them, chatting with one another.

The two men were busy talking, till one of them noticed a man walking out of the woods and heading their way. Upon seeing the man, the pair stood at attention and awaited his approach. "Excuse me, may I see your ID please?" The taller of the guardsmen asked as he looked Lance up and down. Lance was still covered in the blood of the wolves.

"Oh, yeah sure. One sec!" Lance reached behind him and pulled his ID card from his inventory and handed it to the man.

"Thank you, hold a moment." The tall guard pulls a device out and scans the ID card. "Rene Knight. Guard Trainee. Welcome back! I take it your hunt went well?" The guard hands his ID back to him and pushes a button to open the gate.

"Yeah, you can say that." Lance laughs a little as he walks through the gates. Waving to the guards as he goes into town. 'Hey Vix, do you remember the way to that shop?"

"Yeah. I'll pull up the map." A small window appeared in front of her. "Just go straight for now."

"You're the boss." Lance mused as he chuckled to himself.

It didn't take them too long to reach the shop, but it was still the middle of the night. Even though the morning was on its way, it was unlikely that the shopkeeper was gonna be awake.

"Well, let's see if he's still up." Lance walks up to the door and tries to open it. To his surprise, it was unlocked, so he walks in. Old Lokarn was busily working at the back of the shop when he heard the door and looked over.

Lokarn's eyes grew wide once he took a closer looked at Lance. "You're back!? And..... You're dripping blood everywhere." The surprise grew to anger with the mess Lance was making.

"Oh, sorry old man." Lance started scratching the back of his head. "But I was able to get 21 teeth, as well as some alpha teeth and such." He was grinning at the old man.

"You killed the alpha!!!" Lokarn was very surprised. He was an expert blacksmith, but he couldn't hunt worth sh*t. "You're lying. There's no way you could beat it. Very few even survive to see the alpha."

Lance's grin grew even bigger. He opened his inventory and laid all the loot on the counter. "Still doubt me, old man?"

Lokarn's jaw hit the floor. Not even in his wildest imagination would he think that someone would beat the old wolf, let alone, bring the hide and teeth to him. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes to refocus himself. "Well, I'll take the teeth for now." He grabbed all the common teeth from the counter.
