Completed How The Wolf Was Haunted

[Jirou]

A months journey was no trial to the ronin. He had ventured for a much longer time than that in his past. What worried him was what this devil could accomplish in a months time. If it was already able to disrupt his mental functions then it would only get worse from here. It was no time to dwell on his worries, Ash asked the ronin to accompany him for safe travel and he would fulfill that duty.

He lifted his bag of fruit he'd purchased and smiled. "Well lead the way, friend. I've gotten provisions that should hopefully tie us over until we reach a few towns passed. It should be fun. I'd love to hear of your exploits as a keeper of dragons since we'll have the time to discuss it."

He pulled his straw hat to his head and tied the bag of food across his back. He set his cane sword down as a walking stick and nodded to the elf to take charge. This would easily the most daunting bodyguard job Jirou had taken up. Making a friend out of the deal was never a bad thing, however.

Tieing his hair back Ash looks at the sun and feels the breeze with his hand. He’d walks to the east walking with a hop to his step. Maybe he was happy to be returning home? Or he just loved to travel on foot. “There’s soo many stories Jirou.” Ash comments thinking.

The way was going to be simple until they reach the end of the grasslands. Then they would have to worry about the hills and eventually the orcs filled mountains. Ash sighs thinking about how they are going to avoid them, after all Molthal was moving to conquer. Just like their leader’s brother of some sorts, Gerra.He prayed that his family were safe and to not do anything rash.

“There was this time when a kid... well an adult for your human years, and I met at the Battle of Ningal. Poor thing was left changed after what came of his original mentor....” The elf will go into how he and Alistair became good friends, not just mentor and pupil. Including how he had given the young man a hatchling dragon to help put his mind at ease and to care for during his intense hydromancy training.

And as the two new acquaintances started on their new journey together, with a good story and bright hopes for the most part.
