Baranor took a step back to acknowledge his new companion, admiring the new beast as the start of what he believed to be a force to take back the throne. After Baranor was finished admiring the ability of the ring he found, he decided to sit down while looking at his now burned leg. Baranor not thinking too much of the burn, took his sword and cut off a piece of his robe and tightly rapped it around the burn for it to not get infected. As Baranor laid down to rest for the night and to let his leg continue to heal, the bear looked at Baranor with what looked like remorse in its eye as it watched over its new master for the night. Meanwhile Lunamir just got done looking at the bears stats decided to check his own.
'Hmmm, I wonder how much I gained from dominating that bear' Lunamir thought to himself

---------------------------------
Lunamir was quite surprised when he saw how much he grew from dominating just one bear, although it was on the stronger end, he felt it was still quite a lot. With more skill and stat points obtained Lunamir once again went into deep thought thinking of what to invest into. Lunamir still not really understanding which stat he should invest in once again distributed his stat points evenly, while he saved one extra point in case of emergencies leaving 2 stat points left over. Lunamir was no onto his skills looking over which one would best benefit his current scenario.
'Hmm domination? No Its not like I need an army anytime soon. Perhaps I shall see after seeing the new skill i received' Lunamir thought
-----------------------------------------
-Fog of Light: (Level 1): Releases a fog that glows with a mysterious blue hue, and ominous whispers will emit from it: Effects: Slows, Blinds, and Weakens enemies, Meanwhile Allies are able to see perfectly in the fog, as it increases ally stats by 5% and grants clarity
-----------------------------------------
Lunamir looked at the new skill rather impressed by its effects yet it gave little insight to his current situation. Lunamir having thought about what would help in this current situation just decided to put 4 skill points into Mercy and kept on incase of emergencies. Lunamir feeling satisfied took another look at Baranor and the newly dominated bear watching over his wearer.
*Sigh 'How I wish I could use you to feel the freedom of a body once more, However I don't believe my new owner would appreciate being left unguarded at night' Lunamir thought before he decided to slow down his mind to an almost sleep like state as he learned how to do this over the years of solitude....
Baranor waking up in the morning found the bear he dominated sitting close by on alert waiting for any intruder, as he moved around the bears ears twitched as it looked towards Baranor. The bear slowly walked over to Baranor as Baranor held out his hand and the bear rubbed its head into it making low growls. Baranor stood up although with slight pain and discomfort as his leg has still yet to heal walked over to the entrance of the cave, as the bear followed along. The bear noticing Baranor's awkward walking, started to walk closer to him and made low growls as if it was asking if Baranor needed help. Baranor seeing this let out a small smile as he found the bear quite cute and funny for such a big beast. Baranor accepted the help of the bear and held onto the bears side with his left hand as he made his way to the entrance of the cave.
Once Baranor saw the morning sun and heard the chirping birds and with his mission complete decided to head towards the sun to the east. Before Baranor left though he decided to take a minute and let the bear eat its fill before the adventure started, as Baranor was banished from death he didn't require any nutrients but that didn't apply to the bear.
"Alright Bear! As my first command, Go find your prey and feast! For we have a long adventure ahead of us." Baranor said quite sarcastically as he found giving orders to a bear laughable
The bear seemingly understanding Baranor's orders rushed forth into the forest completely disappearing into the thick woods as Baranor watched it from behind.
'Now what should I do in the meantime?' Baranor thought to himself
As Baranor was thinking on what to do to keep himself busy for the meantime he instinctively reached for his sword. Baranor as a prince would attend multiple lessons and classes over the days including sword play in the morning. Baranor thought back to how, as a child he despised his teacher, one of the junior guardian knights of his father the late king.
*Sigh 'How I enjoyed those days talon, and how I will never, for as long as I am alive forget how you fought valiantly for my father that day!' Baranor thought to himself as he started his sword training
Lunamir watching Baranor swing his sword away Lunamir found it quite Fearsome as if it was nothing but pure aggression pushing him, but to Lunamir it was still quite a sight. Lunamir figuring this was the perfect time turned to peer into the bears view and saw it running around the forest and coming to a opening. The bear watched as a field filled with horned rabbits and twin tailed squirrels ran around, as the bear was waiting something finally appeared. A deer that had green fur with white dots and a brown underbelly, arrived and started to feast on the vegetation that grew around the forest floor. The bear seeing it slowly but surely started to crawl its way there making sure that it made little no sound on its way there, sticking to the shadows the trees cast. The bear taking its opportunity as the deer is looking away pounces on its prey lightning fast and kills it just as fast. The bear finished its meal as it started to hear weird silent whispers as Lunamir commands it to do as he pleases it to.
The bear under Lunamir's orders started to run around the place while checking out the surroundings and exploring the environment around it. Lunamir who out of curiosity was making the bear view the world around it, including the bugs on the ground, found the place he resided quite strange. No matter how hard Lunamir searched their was no sign of any civilization that would be directly related to him. Lunamir thought that he was simply abandoned in a cave on purpose, or simply hidden away to keep his powers away from anyone to use.
'Or has time really passed for that long to where theirs no sign of the place I once resided?' Lunamir was lost in thought until he realized he had been commanding the bear to search the area for too long as he could see Baranor patiently waiting
Lunamir released the bear to continue Baranor's orders, the bear once let free ate his fill and immediately ran to its owner. Baranor seeing the bear's return slowly got up, although awkwardly, and made his way to the bear.
"You know that was rather long if you ask me, but what can one do if he owns such a massive beast as this" Baranor said
The bear, almost as if it seemed saddened by Baranor's words made a low growl and looked away, Baranor seemed confused but it didn't bother him. As he walked towards the bear once more and petted its side admiring the beast and then looked down at his hand which wore the ring and admired the power which could control such a beast.
"Alright, Now we go forth bear!" Baranor said however right when he was about to step he stopped in his tracks
"Actually, It would be quite a bother for me to just simply call you bear this entire time, lets give you a name! How about Talon?" Baranor said
The bear which seemed to like that name as it let out a growl and jumped up on its hind legs and fell back down. With this they started their journey back to the place Baranor called his home, as Baranor looked at the cliff he fell of he wondered how he would get back. Baranor also thought what would change, how would his home be after the fall of his father.
As the day passed, Baranor visibly moving at a slower pace than normal because of his burned leg, realized how slow they were covering ground, as did Talon. Almost as if Talon read Baranor's mind he rubbed up on baranor's face and lowered it's posture, Baranor looking at the kind jester of the bear jumped on it's back and gave it a little rub.
"Their we go! Now we can cover more ground. Onward!" Baranor said
