other humans

getting out of the cave I looked around to see if there is any other sign of human life but unfortunately, there is none

picking a random direction I walked for miles until I see a roughly made road

excited to see other people at long last I follow the road until I found a small village with guards patrolling the area

walking closer to the village one of the guards saw me with my coat covering most of my body he said

"State your business" the guard asks

strangely, even when he spoke a language I never heard of I can understand it completely, as I open my mouth to say something

"GRRRRRRR"

a strange sound came out of my mouth, trying again I made the same sound

"GRRRR"

fuck, I realize that I don't have a mouth, a featureless golem without eyes or mouths, the guard looks confused trying to come close to me, I backed off so he won't see that im a golem

"Why are you backing off sir please stay still, I need to identify you so I can let you in"

with suspicion, he put his hand on the sword ready if I were hostile or a runaway criminal

turning around I ready myself to sprint, as I do I heard the guard behind me

"STOP RIGHT THERE"

putting all my power into my legs I sprint to the forest, turning around to see the guard chasing me

after 30 minutes of running the guard finally exhausted his legs and gave up chasing me

after a few more minutes of running, I stop running and observe where I'm at, the forest is still around but after passing a few trees I saw a lake and a running river from a mountain up and also another river running down opposite of the first river, circling the river I admire the beautiful lake for a few minutes until I heard a scream not far away

running toward the direction of the scream I saw a wounded girl with leather armor holding a sword and being encircled by a pack of wolfs,

standing guard ready to counter-attack any wolf that tried to move close but it seems that the wolfs made fun of the girl and dodges any of the girl's strike

I asset the situation and moved close to one of the wolves that turned his back toward me, ready to strike I moved my right arm back and leaped to the wolf's side

with a downward strike, I hit the wolf's head, with a crunching sound the top of the wolf's head caved in and died instantly, surprised by my sudden arrival the wolf's friends turn all their attention to me

enraged the closest wolf lunged toward me with his fang ready to bite, with a side-step I counter-attacked the wolf with a punch to the neck

with a whimper, the wolf was launched and landed dead, two more wolves tried to attack at the same time but I rolled away and recovered to see one wolf in the middle of striking me with his claws blocking with my arm, I reeled my other arm and strike him with an uppercut to the jaws

"WATCH OUT!" I heard

turning around I saw a wolf in mid-jump and biting my shoulder, trying to shake him off I threw my upper body with a front flip driving the wolf and me to the ground

struck to the ground the wolf let out a whimper and loosen his jaw

not missing the chance I reel back my fist and struck the wolf right in his head killing him instantly

the other wolf stared at me with vigilance, it seems that my previous display of strength made them think I was a predator rather than pray, keeping their eyes on me they slowly backed off and eventually ran away

after checking that they are gone I turned toward the injured girl

with vigilance in her eyes, she points her sword toward me and said

"Where is your master?"

confused I raised both of my arms to show that I'm not an enemy, taking a clear view of my face seeing that I don't have a mouth she talked again

"Do you have a master?"

I shook my head implying no

the girl seems confused and lowers her sword, putting her hand on her chin she contemplates and asks

"then how are you moving without orders?"

I shrugged my shoulder implying I do not know myself

"then are you a sentient golem?" she asked tilting her head

with a nod I reply

as I reply she made a pained look and inspect her body, there were multiple wounds on her arms and chest, though most of them are light scratches there was one big wound on her shoulder "shit, fuck that hurt"

coming close to her I inspect the wound, she looked around for something and walk towards it following her direction I saw a backpack on the ground, with hurried stepped I passed her

"hey what are you doing"

grabbed the backpack giving the backpack to her she looked at me

"Thanks"

I nodded

redirecting her attention to the backpack she opened it and took out some clean cloth and a green paste

taking off the shirt she applied the paste over the wound and wrapped it in the cloth, she made sure to secure the cloth around the shoulder before grabbing her shirt and putting it back on

redirecting her attention back toward me

"thank you again for saving me, if you were too late I would probably be a wolf's meal by now"

I reply with a nod

"Now I should go to a town, there is one near here, do you want to come with me?"

thinking about it I eventually nod in reply

"Great now I don't need to worry about getting attacked again"

oi I can hear you you know, turning my head and tried making a blank expression

"What? you're a great bodyguard, your fist can kill a great-wolf with a single strike and you won't be damaged with that rock body of yours" she said but her eyes glowed, and remember the wolf corpses

"Oh right the great-wolfs, I should dismantle them" and walked toward one of the dead wolves

taking a knife out of her backpack she started dismantling them, while she dismantle one of the wolves I walk to another dead wolf and use appraisal on it
