Strange things

The day went uneventful both Crim and Tristan took turns resting and taking watch, even though neither of them really needed the rest that bad it was good to go out fully rested and prepared. The plan had stayed the same, Crim was searching for Ents, and Tristan was hunting to hopefully level up, and to find new evolution traits from predators.

Tristan didn't have any more strange dreams this time as he rested so his mind was fully focused on the hunt, he was traveling at a fast pace looking for anything that be worth his time to hunt, the problem with his strength was for something to be perceived a apex predator with him it actually had to be a challenge in some way for him. Even in his fully transformed wolf form he could now easily take care of most normal beasts. A quick slash of his claws or bite from his jaws and the creature would be gone in an instant. Due to him not really getting notifications from the system he almost forgot about it completely just focusing on finding an apex predator, due to this he didn't realize that every kill he had gotten in his wolf form was adding XP.

Tristan had gone farther this time searching for something worth his hunt, he had come to an area that changed from the forest he was in, to a lush grassland, it was wide open and he could see large animals grazing. "Finally some good news, there has to be a predator around here, if I get closer to the prey animals grazing I should be able to wait for whatever hunts them." Tristan thought to himself.

Many hours had passed, and he had seen nothing, the animals he was currently watching were some sort of mix between a water buffalo and an elephant, they were colossal in size and had both tusks from their mouths and huge horns on top of their head. Tristan just sat in his wolf form and patently watched, if nothing showed up before daylight then he would try his hand at hunting one of the beasts he was watching, if nothing else it would be a good challenge and a great meal.

Meanwhile Crim had a stroke of luck, he had found some Ents, to him they really looked like some sort of crazy squirrel from earth, they were slightly larger and roamed in large groups. He knew that even though the group in front of him was quite large he would need more to make a weapon. "Who in the world found out that these things bones melt and make great weapons, like seriously that's so ridiculous the person who found that out had to be insane." Crim thought to himself as he stealthy tried to follow the Ents hoping they would lead him to a larger group. He followed them for quite a ways, the seemed to be foraging and grabbing nuts and fruits whenever they saw them, however for some reason no other predators would mess with them, Crim had spotted a large cat that spotted the Ents and immediately ran away, and a snake that definitely could've ate one or two of them just stayed perfectly still as the went all over it. For some reason nothing bothered the Ents and he was very confused as to why. The information on them was rather small and it basically just said their bones were useful and they were hard to find, then a short description of what they looked like and nothing else. Now the information also recommended using traps to catch them but Crim assumed that it was just because how elusive they were. He just rolled those thoughts to the back of his mind with the who cares, he had grown rather cocky in his new abilities, and although the plan was to find the Ents and then have Tristan help him he had decided after seeing them that there was no point in that and he would just do it himself and surprise Tristan.

They had finally come to a stop on an extremely large and old looking tree. Then one of the larger Ents let out a screech and the group of about twenty suddenly became a group of over one hundred as they all came out of the tree. Crim smiled in excitement he would be done with all of this quick an easy he thought as he stepped out from where he was hiding and threw a knife killing and pinning one of the Ents to the Tree.

Tristan was just sitting watching and waiting the Tusked buffalo as he decided to call them when suddenly a voice appeared in his head.

"The idiot that is with you is going to need your help" then a strange chuckle was heard inside Tristans head.

"What was that, am I going crazy?" Tristan thought to himself inside his head and shook it off.

"Well you probably are crazy letting the Hellhound go off against Ents on his own but you aren't imagining my voice in your head if that is what you are referring to." The voice said very seriously "I know its been awhile since I've seen your kind but wow did no body teach you anything about Ents and Hellhounds, it must be real tough times."

Tristan shook in fear for a second "My kind, what do you mean? Who are you, and what is the problem with Hellhounds hunting Ents?" Tristan quickly rattled off towards the voice in his head.

"It really has been a while hasn't, by your kind I mean Lycans, and who I am is of little importance, you will meet me soon enough, but trust me in this you need to summon your Hellhound to you if you value his life... also prepare to fight" Another chuckle was heard as the voice disappeared.

Tristan was shaken he had never experienced someone else's voice inside his head like that, and he felt a strange pressure just from the voice like it was extremely powerful. He believed the voice when it said Crim was in trouble, so without hesitating he activated the Alpha Howl knowing that it would force Crim to come to him, it also would bring any other wolfs or wolf like creatures that were weaker than him to him so maybe they would be able to help if there was any. However, while he was waiting after performing the Howl, he couldn't help but wonder why all these strange things kept happening here, to him.
