I see another set of legs. I look up and see wolves surrounding me circling as they grab a hold of kitsune.

I use the fire to swat at them as they grab it and chuck it across the flat mountain grove. One charges at me biting my arm as I let out a yelp. Its dragging me off and up the mountain as another grabs my hair.

Damn.

I frantically scramble kicking one of them in the snout as it licks its chops, shaking off the attack. It doesn't show its teeth but instead just stares at me. The other one still has kitsune in its grasp.

I dont know what possessed me to talk to them but something told me that if they wanted to eat me they would have already. But they didn't.

"D-Do you k-know w-where the n-nightingale is? T-The f-flower?" I ask them. Fear still in my voice as my hands shake.

What a idiot, there animals for crying out loud. Animals that want me for lunch. Wild animals.

As I hyperventilate the one I hit nods at my question and it stops shortly only to come towards me a moment later.

It licks my leg, the one the spider had attacked earlier and heals it almost instantly. The same with my shoulder.

"T-Thanks." The wolf nods as it howls and runs up the side of the mountain and I follow them.

I finally reach a clearing full of trees and another stretch of flat land.

There was fire and what looked to be people. As I slide down the mountain trying my best to keep up with the wolves I finally become level with the ground. The people all look at me in shock as I stumble onto there camp site.

"Tiki whats the matter witcha' I said food, not people!" One of them is wearing wolf skins on his body and a wolfs head as a hat.

I cough up dust as I frown walking away back up the mountain.

The dog i had socked who's name was Tiki is barking at me. It was pulling at me trying to get me back.

"Ah whos this little dude-" as he picked up kitsune he quickly dropped him.

"A god, a god, like the god. No way kitsune, and you must be his wife! We've heard so much about you. A human god. Woe."

"Please forgive us for being rude your grace but what are you doing over the mountain? And with the king?" The other one said politely.

"I-Im looking for nightingale, the flower."

"Really? Well thats quite a walk. Its past the forest and over those mountains, this is Wolves Pass but as you go over deaths valley you'll be in fairy territory. You should be able to get there before nightfall tomorrow, well if you don't get eaten." He says matter of factly as I look beyond the forest to more mountain this time no snow just dry desert.

"My wife Tiki can like totally fix your friend, she has magic paws." The wolf cosplayer says.

"Yes you should get some rest. You have been through alot at least thats what the foxes said." The smart one says and I join them around the fire as one gives me a blanket and something warm to eat.

They introduced themselves as mortin and hunso. Mortin was the wolf boy.

I take a sip of the questionable soup as its green broth and its odd odor threw me off. Not to mention the weird substance floating in it.

I chock it down only to barf it back up.

"Yeah its not the best but its what we had to work with, spider is not exactly good tasting but it does have protein." Hunso says as they wait for the fire to slowly die.
