“This,” Adam said, gripping Phantom in hand tightly, “is going to be ruff.”
The group had travelled into the forest, this time searg for Winter Wolves withi quite so deadly forest.
Jurot was fident he’d be able to track them, and Lucy was itg food fight.
However, Adam hadn’t expected to find so many.
Seven Winter Wolves, and three Elder Winter Wolves growled towards the party, ready and eager to tear them limb from limb.

“Did you really say ruff?” Lucy groaned, summoning her Destroyer, the giant, fming greataxe.
Jurot did not say anything as he raised his shield, all the while the ten Wolves bouowards the pair of them.
As a White Wolf struck Jurot, thunder rumbled in the air as the White Wolf’s body spasmed, thunder rog through its entire body, shattering its bones, managing to scare away some of the other Wolves from attag.
“Damn, Jurot, since when could you-“ Adam shut up, as some of the Wolves who slipped away from Jurot, charged for him and the Porters. ‘ht,’ Adam thought, remembering how he had ented the shield.

Soon the group was overwhelmed by the tes. O up at Adam, and tried to tackle him down, but he mao punt it babsp;
An Elder White Wolf struck Lucy across her side, and tried t her down, along with the help of another smaller White Wolf, but she mao stay up, smming her fmiroyer down onto the smaller White Wolf, splitting it in half.
Jurot also mao cleave through a White Wolf with a single blow, and as aried to nip at his heels, he sliced through its head.
Remy and Jeremy, who had dropped their panquin quickly, mao hide behind their spears, with Remy even managing to poke one away from him. Nobby his behind his shield, and swung his axe wildly, but the White Wolf was too nimble for him.

Adam was a flurry of death, his Phantom weaving through the air as he cut into the White Wolves all around him and the Porters. He tore through each of them as though he were carving a cake, as the seds passed, the four White Wolves y dead between his feet.
Jurot and Lucy both heard the bodies of four White Wolves drop, and the three Porters stared at Adam, mesmerised by his swift movement, and how quick he had dispatched the four White Wolves, each of which held much greater strength than typical Wolves.
‘Whoa!’ the twins thoughts.
Nobby also stared at Adam, his eyes twinkling. ‘I be that strong?’
The three Elder White Wolves roared as their followers were killed, but they charged forward to strike. Jurot intercepted two of them, smming his shield against one of them, and keeping a bay with his fming axe.
Lucy, who was having too much fun, swung wildly, allowing the Elder White Wolf to strike up against her thigh. As it snarled, dragging her down, she wailed with ughter.
“Yes!” She struck the Elder White Wht against its skull, her fming axe sinking deep, a somehow she did not mao kill it.
Jurot mao sink his axe deep into an Elder White Wolf’s shoulder, which roared in pain, as the st crept backwards away from the raging Iyrman.

Adam charged in towards Jurot, who was surrounded by the two Elder White Wolves, and swung his axe wildly, managing to hack against the back of the injured Elder White Wolf. It turo snarl at him, but found Phantom slig through its neck, causing it to drop.
The other two Elder White Wolves slipped ba the otion and fled, though one found a javelin striking its hihough it tio bound away from the bringers of death.
“Let ‘em go,” Adam said. “No point chasing them.”
“No point? I almost killed it!” Lucy cried. “Now I only cim one White Wolf!”
“There are plenty more things to kill, Lucy,” Adam said. “You three alright?”
The trio stared at Adam, who always shocked them, with a greater sense of awe.
“Yes, boss!” the pair replied.
“Yes,” Nobby replied, still staring at Adam with those sparkling eyes of him.

The porters tossed the bodies on the panquin, and Adam turo Zeus.
“Oh,” Adam said. “I fot you were here.”
‘Proteobby,’ Zeus said.
“Good job,” Adam said, rubbing the back of its head.
When a White Wolf had e for Nobby, Zeus was right behind, ready to stomp it aside, though Adam had dispatched of the White Wolf so quickly it had no ce to ehe se.
“I stole your thunder,” Adam chuckled, befhing harder at his terrible joke. “Man, I just don’t miss. Ruff. Thunder. God, why am I so funny?” Adam kept ughing, but no one uood why he found himself so funny.
Eventually the group started to make their way back, the body of the Elder White Wolf slung across Zeus’ back, which made the trek back far more bearable.
“Let me know if you see anything, Hades,” Adam said, allowing his Familiar to fly about as he pleased to keep an eye on the area around them.
“The shield is very useful,” Jurot said. “Though I should not use it too often, for more enemies may appear.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Adam asked.
“You do not want us to be in danger,” Jurot said. “So I ot rely upohunder magics within it.”
Adam smiled. “Damn. I’ll try and make one which does a different type of damage then.”
“The shield is useful still,” Jurot said. “There is no need for another shield.”
“Then maybe I’ll take the shield and make you another one?”
Jurot wondered how he should refuse, but remained silent. He could not fault Adam’s logio, there was a way.
“You made this shield for me, Adam,” Jurot said. “In the same way you made Dunes’ Sword.”
“Fair enough.”
They eventually returo the Guild, which eagerly accepted what the group had brought babsp;

“We would like to buy some of the cws, teeth, as,” Braun informed.
“How much?” Adam asked.
“Half, for one hundred gold.”
Adam whistled. “I mean…” Adam looked to Jurot. “We should probably send some back to the Iyr.”
“Half is good,” Jurot said. “We will be hunting much more during Nightval.”
“You’re right,” Adam said, nodding his head. “Alright, sihe Guild always treats us so well.”
Braun nodded his head. “Thank you.” He handed Adam the gold and gems, which he took to split with the others.
“Here,” Adam said, pg down the s for the Porters.
“So much?” Remy asked, swiping the five gold s for each of them.
“You know it,” Adam said. “Remember, you’re on my payroll until the fourteenth. After that, yoing to be having a fun time with the Lord and us on the road.”
Remy nodded his head. “Thank you, boss.”
“This party fund idea is really good,” Lucy said. “Is that how you’ve been paying for my stay?”
“Yep,” Adam replied. “I’ve put in a lot in the party fund so I pay the Porters through it too, though I also use my own gold to pay them sometimes.
Luodded her head. “I’ll put in the same amount as you, then.”
“I, too, will put in the same amount,” Jurot said.
“You sure?” Adam asked. “What about the Iyr tax?”
“I will pay it separately,” Jurot said.
“If you’re sure.” Adam smiled. “Well, since we’re doh our work…”
Remy and Jeremy smiled, with Nobby nodding his head.
Adam bit into the jam bun, staring at Jurot and Pam talking.
“Sometimes, Adam,” Lucy said, between taking bites of her own jam buns, “I think you’re a genius.”
“I like to keep you guessing. Is Adam an idiot, or is he a genius, or is he both? No, he’s definitely both, but which will he be today?” Adam smiled. “You will never know.”
“I’ll just assume you’re an idiot all the time.”
“Assumptions make an ass out of you and me,” Adam said.
Lucy stared up at him with a quizzical look.
“Oh e on,” Adam said. “That one was actually good.”
