A different direction Part 2

And one of them is the most merciless animal and second to the Galgoth monster was the Wild beast Black Panther. The similarities were a bit different as the Black panther has a much larger canine that looks intimidating. The features of the Black panther It looks more like a lion but it is much more built than a lion and it has an exceeding canine that is scary when seen.

Soon after Artirian and Clara would reach the edge of the forest they would still feel the breeze of the wind that is blowing. They would then set camp for now because the stars are now visible and also the bright moon can be seen in the sky. As Artirrian lit the campfire and built a small tent for both of them. Clara would sit near the campfire because it is still windy and she is shivering because of the cold, While Clara was sitting beside the campfire Artirian would then pull out a rabbit meat that he brought earlier and sneak in one of the pouches of the saddle as he pulls it out Clara would look at him and said "Arti… Thanks for helping me and saving me back there.

I did not know you are able to kill people in such ease" Artirian replied with a smirk then looked at her "You see sometimes I became heartless because I needed to be for my safety and also for your safety" After that talk Artirian would get a stick from the ground and burn it a little to clean it he then stitch the meat to the stick to make some barbecue.

After 1 hour of cooking the rabbit meat they would share it. But also they are going to cook another one for the sake of an extra hungry tummy. While both of them were munching on the rabbit meat Artirian would sense something different from the lingering smell. The trees were like dancing as the wind blew and the ruckus of leaves would make eerie noises.

Artirian would hold his Bokken sword and look at the surroundings. Then the noise of a laughing like animal would be heard in the near distance. Clara would hold Artirians arm. Then slowly as the noise comes closer and closer there would be a silhouette that would form as a huge type of animal. The eyes of the animal would first appear, the eyes was bright red with a misty kind of appearance. As the animal slowly walking towards their direction Artirian would unsheathe his Bokken sword and he would prepare to strike anytime soon.

Then the animal would jump in front of them and it would be a small cute black panther. Clara would see the cute small black panther first so he would pull Artirian who is about to strike and the small black panther. Both of them would be in shock as they both walked towards it and then the panther would give a gentle playful smile. Slowly it became much comfortable with them but as the night came the panther would go back into the forest and they never saw the panther again.

Next morning comes, and both Clara and Artirian would share the same place to sleep. Clara would be cuddling Artirian while Artirian would face the other side. Artirian would be the first one who would wake up and so he would try to remove Clara hub from him. Artirian would be successful in removing Clara hug and he would then look around and stretch his arms wide and do some morning warm up.After the morning warm up, he would go search for a nearby river and would wash his face.

Artirian POV

I would remove my shirt and bend over and put my hands together to get some water onto my face. As I checked my body it would be looking much better. As it is getting better day by day and my wounds are good as normal it doesn't even bleed anymore.

Then I would notice something near the river and as I saw a small camp of Republican forces are also on the farther side of the river. I would then hide beside a tree trunk as I quickly wore my shirt. Then I would check my back and I forgot that I left my Bokken sword at the camp.

I would slowly walk back and still look back at the Republican camp to see if someone would notice me. Luckily I was not noticed by the patrolman, then as I turned back slowly and I saw it was clear I would run towards the camp and saw Clara still sleeping like a baby. I would grab her hand and shake it to wake her up. She then slowly opened her eyes and turned over to the other side. I would then say with a low tone of voice "We need to move out there are Republican forces at the other side of the river earlier… wake up Clara'' as I said those words I would poke her side to tickle her but it didn't work. So I would grope her breast and suddenly she would wake up but I would receive a slap on the face. She then was awake and angry and she said with a low tone of voice but irritated "You could have just told me that you wanna touch it.." Artirian would have a serious face and look at her "We need to get out of here or else those Republican forces would catch up to us and it won't be good if that happened alright." Clara would then quickly wear his armor and prepare herself to move the same as for me.

Clara POV

"I am quite shocked he grabbed my…" I would murmur and still roll my eyes if she would make eye contact with me. "Errr if she wants to grab it then ask permission tch..I would let him..if he wanted.." my face would turn red as I remember how he touched my breast. I would then wear my armor and pull Artirian into a kiss and then he would kiss me back. I could his tongue inside my mouth like our tongue would fight like swords.

Artirian would then grab my shoulders and he also stopped kissing me and he would say in a flustered manner "Ermm Clara I am sorry for earlier and that's how I pay my debt I won't do it again I promise." He would then give me a peck on my check.

After that we would move out and I would again grab Artirian waist and put my face at his back and feel his heart beating.

-----------------

After that they would reach the secret passage luckily it was guarded by some Senior rats who knew Artirian once they saw Artirian they would bow a 90 degrees and greet the leader. Artirian would wave at the senior rats to open the gate for them to pass. The The two senior flying dagger members would follow Artirian orders. Then an arrow would hit Artirians horse.
