Lost

Bjorn-uggghgh*stomach rumbles and loud groaning*

I grab my stomach as I awake.Where am I?

The bright sun blinding me as it pierces through the trees. What happened...again I lost my self.I think back to the wolves.Laying on the ground I recall every thing I remember.The river,wolves, but the rest blurs apart.I can only remember running in the forest as I was bleeding out.

Now im naked and covered in dirt and blood.But I feel...strange not tired at all if anything I feel great.My ribs don't hurt anymore,nothing.Yet there's this sick feeling in my stomach like if I ate something bad.

Something's fucking wrong me.

Bjorn-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaa!!!!

I yell out in frustration,why cant I remember.Whats wrong with me.

But I've got other things currently to worry about,That can wait.

I get up off the ground brushing the leaves off me.

I look around but all I can see is thick forest,im lost and naked.It couldn't be worse I dont think.

My injuries!I touch my face the hole seems to have healed just some scar tissue left,the same thing with my shoulder and leg.Was it all a dream?Was I robbed in the river and imagined the wolves?

Forget it,lets find a way out if this forest.

I begin walking North as since the snow is not as heavy here.It must mean im near the Storm Border.Near the Raven lands.The place I dont want to be in.Their planes are filled with bandits and wild beasts.And their fortresses can be seen miles away.

After through the forest for hours ,I come upon the sound of a girl crying.ï

What the fuck is that!I look around frantically but dont see any girl.I cover my private area since I wouldn't want people to see it,even if it's a large one...

As I get closer to where the noise is coming from I try to remain silent.As I dont know what It could be man or some wretched beast from a story.Afterall I've never been this far out from storm village before.Far as i kno there could be some type of animal stalking me right now.

I peak around the tree and see a little girl crying inside a hole in the tree.She is coverd in a fur cloak.Gripping it tightly as she crys.

Bjorn-Oi,what are you doing in there!?Do you need help?Are you stuck?

She stops crying ,almost looking relieved to see me.

Bjorn-Its ok you can come out.What happened?

Little girl-M-monster it came at night.Mom and dad went to go see,but they never came back and I was scared so I ran.All of them screaming for help.

Bjorn-Did you see this monster,or was it people?

I've heard of trolls destroying villages,but those those are only from across the sea.

Little girl-I didnt see it but it was loud and big.Sounded like a wolf.I even heard a loud houuuuu before...*starts sobbing*

Bjorn-Hey it's ok,whats your name.If you tell me I can find your parents.

Ardina-My name is Ardina,can you really find them!*her eyes showing slight hope*

Bjorn-Yes Ardina can you take me there to your village?

Ardina-Yes come.Its close I think.

She gives me her brown fur cloak and I tie it around my waist.As I follow her through the forest.I can see the village but it's eerily quiet as we approach.A nasty rotten smell lingering in the air.As we go around the corner im the first to see.A massacre is what it is.

Bjorn-what the Fuck...Wait here.

As the girl waits behind the house.I continue walking through a village destroyed and stained in red.Mangeld body's everywhere.Intestines hanging off roofs.

Bjorn-*Gag*

Who could've done this,people of all ages dead,horribly.I look at a few of the house's that have giant claw marks that tore through the wooden walls.The stone on the ground littered with scratch marks.Like if some beast came through here,Rampaging Through the village.

I walk over to a house to try and find some clothes.Walking through the hole in the wall.

Stepping over some bodily remains I aproach a table with a Sleevless leather tunic,Raggedy grey trousers stained with blood and some simple boots.

A few minutes later

Bjorn-Theres nothing left there.And your parents are dead.

Ardina-*crying loudly*

I couldn't put it another way,at least she couldn't see the remains of her parents.That would leave her debilitated.

1 HOUR LATER

Sitting on a tree stump in the woods near the village. Ardina slumped against it sobbing. We've been like this for the past hour.While I think of how to get back the fastest way.

She has no clue where she is,I dont know.Only that we have to make our way north back to Storm Village.

A few days journey on foot at the very least.Maybe we can even hitch a ride with some merchants

Bjorn-Come,get up we are leaving before it gets darker.

Ardina-*sobbing*Where?

Bjorn-Storm Village,Get on my Shoulders.So we can get there faster.

I help her climb onto my shoulders,Take deep breath and take off running.

Even with her on my shoulders I feel light and powerful.

As the trees blur past me I leap and bound over fallen trunks.Deer turning their heads in my direction.

This should work out mostly good,all the storm bears should be at the village by the time I arrive.Then I can finally get the battle I have been craving,like a starving dog to a peice of meat.

I wonder if any ones looking for me,Am I dead to them.

And that damm mountain,I'll scale it after the Raven sheilds are no more.

Ardina-LOOK!*pointing to the caravan up ahead*

I stop in my tracks.She climbs down from my shoulders.

I walk over to the caravan.

Bjorn-Hello,Friendly?!

No response,maybe they didnt hear me.

Bjorn-HELLO!,FRIENDLY!?

Still nothing,somethings wrong here.A caravan to stop in the middle of the road,no people in sight,no response to call outs.

I take a look inside the caravan,empty no chests,nothing.

They must've been attacked or fled.

Looking around I dont see any trace of a battle.

Bjorn-Its safe.

Ardina walks out from behind me.Taking a look at the caravan as well.

We could take refuge here until tomorrow,Suns getting low now.

Bjorn-We'll stay the night and set off early tomorrow morning.

Ardina-Ok.

I take a seat on the caravans roof.

Chewing on some bread and cheese from the village.

What happened yesterday night.

I go over the events in my mind as i touch my healed injuries

River,wolves,running back to the village.Then mid way through the forest My memory stops.

A blank spot,Its what ever now I guess.Right now i have to return back home.

I jump down the caravan.And head inside laying down.

MIDNIGHT

Ardina-*shaking me*There's something out there.

Bjorn-What?

Ardina-I hear people.

Damm could be the caravan owners.

I take a peak out the caravan.

Oh no...
