It was the start of fall, yet the snows had already fallen. The reason? It was because a particular wolf. The wolves of Chaven, they came from the peak of Chaven mountains. Within the pack, there was one large wolf, bigger than the rest. This particular wolf was their pack leader. He had power to freeze his surroundings. The wolves of Chaven could only survive in freezing area, so the leader had to freeze the environment for the pack to survive. Every now and then, there would be some kind of fight for the controls of the mountains, and the losing side of the fight would come down far from even the base of the mountains. Today, they decided to come to the forest near one of the cities in Frisian Kingdom, Hellbraun.
We were near one of the entrances to the forest. We brought some meats to serve as a bait, so the wolves would come out of the forest. We split our party to 2-man partners, there was six of us, so that made 3 groups. The groups were separated around the south entrances of the forest. Each with their own baits and flares, so if one of us were attacked, the other would come rushing to help.
That was the gist of the plan we made, or to be more specific, Grey and Rose plan. Me? Well, my plan to just assault the forest head on was rejected by everyone. They said it was too dangerous as the wolf could ambush us. Hey, becoming the bait was free as far as I remembered, and fighting the wolves would be dangerous anyway.
Becoming impatient, I sneered toward my partner today, Grey the Old Man. "Hey old man! does this plan really work? Look, the meats we brought were freezing right now. Can they smell freezing meat?" Looking slightly annoyed, the old man answered me. "Can you just wait? If today doesn't work, then we can do it tomorrow too." Tomorrow? are you being serious right now? "We have to do this again!? We have been waiting since morning! Look at the sun now, it's almost now!" Waiting for so long in the cold made me feel frustrated. With only an old trench coat to fight of the cold, I was freezing to the bone. Suddenly, old man pointed to the forest. "Look there boy, our targets" There I saw some white wolves staring at us.
Not long after, two wolves started charging at us, so I had to prepare my weapons, a magic pistol on my left hand, and a dagger on my right. The old man was rummaging his trench coat and took out his flare gun, then he shot it to the sky signaling others. Meanwhile, I shot one of the wolves in the head almost at point blank and stabbed the other on the neck as it tried to bite me.
However, it was not over yet, this time six wolves came circling around. I used the opportunity to reload my gun; the gun had a side lock that can be opened so I could reload it easily. While I was busy with my gun, old man shot one of the wolves with his rifle. "Heh, great shot old man". His aim was always so good, ever since I knew him. "No time for chat boy, here they come again." As he said that the five remaining wolves charged at us.
The old man quickly reloaded his rifle and shot another wolf, and I shot one of them as they come closer. With three wolves remaining, I throw some snow to one wolf and again stab the other wolf with my dagger. Old man had already killed a wolf with his bayonet in swift motion. Looks like the last wolf was shaken and did not move at all, so my dagger effortlessly slide on its neck.
After that, we reloaded our gun and prepare for the biggest wolf I had ever seen. The temperature suddenly dropped, and a snowstorm came to hit us. "What in the world? How is this the wolf power?" I was taken aback by the sudden snowstorm. It was not too power since it lacked winds, but the cold and the reduced visibility made my bones shiver. "You see him old man? seeing nothing here." He quickly answered, "on your three" I was surprised he could see anything in this snowstorm. "Shoot your flare around. We need light." I quickly grabbed my flare gun and shot at where the old man had pointed.
We burned our flare stocks in just some seconds. With the flare on the sky, providing light for the surrounding, we saw the wolf observing and circling us from far away. "Wait till he comes to us, don't provoke him." said the old man. Couple seconds later, the wolf charged at us with incredible speed. We shot him, but it did not stop him at all. The wolf slammed onto me, and I was flung pretty far away. Fortunately, the snow softened the impact.
After standing back, I saw Grey fought the wolf with his bayonet. It was clear he got overwhelmed by the wolf. I quickly reloaded my pistol and shot the wolf, drawing its attention. The wolf slammed Grey with his paw and charged at me. I had nothing left, and my consciousness was still blurry. Heh, damn it old man, I shouldn't have to save you. I braced for impact as the wolf open its mouth to bite me.
Then, our leader, Rosetta, arrived just in time to save my head. She stabbed the wolf in the gut with her straight sword. She quickly pulled her sword back and started slashing the wolf with it. Her strength was on par with the wolf. She did not even flinch when she was hit with its paw.
Then Alex, Rossetta's partner for this mission, impaled the wolf, locking it in its place. The wolf could hardly move after that. For the next few minutes, we rapidly attacked the wolf while dodging its attack with relative ease. When the wolf could no longer move, Rose put its life to an end by chopping its head, finishing our mission.
