Overlord The Son of Death

Food from Home

It was the middle of the next day and a group of four people was walking in a dark creepy forest, this group was The Swords of Darkness. 

They had been walking toward the northern part of the Great Forest of Tob, their mission was to walk to the designated location, activate a message scroll, and call Filius. 

"Man, we've been walking since forever", Lukrut whined. 

"Come one man, just a little farther and we'll be close", Peter said cutting another dried branch from out of his way. 

"But I'm tired!", Lukrut said as he sat down on the floor. 

"You're like a child", Ninya said with a giggle. 

Dyne and Peter chuckled a bit, Dyne then turned to his captain, "Wouldn't it be best for us to rest and recover our strength. Lord Filius suggested we didn't force ourselves, he wouldn't mind a quick rest."

Peter looked at the area ahead and thought about it, they still needed around 2 more hours to reach their destination, and on top of that, they would need to face off more monsters on the way. Peter nodded, "You're right Dyne, alright guys rest up we'll keep moving after a quick stop."

"Finally!", Lukrut yelled and he dropped his giant pack on the floor. 

"Are you okay?", Ninya asked him.

"I'm good, it's just that this thing is heavy, what is it anyways", Lukrut asked. 

"Lord Filius said that it was a form of creature we'd use if we found ourselves in a pickle", Dyne stated. 

"I guess It's time to feed it again", Ninya said as she pulled out a small squared item. 

As she unwrapped it Lukruts nose started twitching by the delicious and sweet smell, "Hey! Is that some of that chocolate Lord Filius gave us before?"

Ninya looked at the candy bar and nodded, "Yeah, why?"

"Can I have some?", Lukrut asked, ever since he tasted chocolate he never forgot it. Not even in the kingdom's capital just a delicacy, so when they were allowed to have some during their meeting in Nazarick, they fell in love with it. 

"No, this is Anya's food, besides you already ate yours", Lukrut slumped when he heard Ninya's words. 

"I'll take point, I'll be back in a bit", Peter said as he started checking the surrounding area.  

Ninya went to the pack that Lukrut had been carrying, she then opened a small cover and light entered the box. 

Ninya saw the creature's black eyes, "Hello there, you want another meal little one", Ninya ripped a piece of chocolate and held it out for the creature. 

The creature put its mouth out and extended its tongue pulling the piece of chocolate and eating it, "Good girl, here have another."

"She's taken a liking to you", Dyne called.

"You think so", Ninya asked as she petted the creature's nose. 

"Yeah, she only lets you touch and feed her, i tried it and she growled at me", Lukrut whined. 

Dyne chuckled, "At least you qualify as her pack mule."

"Hey", Lukrut yelled, He then started laughing along with Ninya and Dyne. 

In the middle of their laugh, Peter returned, "Looks like we're clear, we'll take a 30-minutes rest and then head back into our journey."

"Understood", everyone said. 

Lukrut moved his arms behind his head and laid down relaxing, Dyne also started relaxing but he pulled out his Axe and started cleaning it. 

Ninya was still feeding the creature, Peter decided it would be a great moment to have a snack. "Hey, guys, how about we have a snack", immediately after he said that everyone looked at him with excited faces.
