Lucky To Meet You

Chapter 1: Stuck In A Cave

Bennett was an adventurous boy, he was always looking for new adventures to go. Whether it was old ruins that were abandoned years ago, or dangerous temples full of traps and treasure, he was always up for any of it, the only thing that held him back was his terrible luck.

Since he was young, the boy was cursed with bad luck. No matter how good he was at something, the universe would just find a way to mess everything up, making it rain on the sunniest days, having a random earthquake happen right next to him, causing lightning to fall on top of the boy, it was always a disaster. But Bennett was determined, no matter how bad it turned out to be, he continued looking at the bright side of things. His determination and optimism showed a light in his dark path, granting him a pyro vision when he was on the edge of death. That inspired Bennett, it inspired him to continue doing what he loves most, adventures. And that leads us to where we are now.

Our boy is now 13 years old, he got some brand new goggles as a birthday present and is excited to experiment with them on his next adventure. He put some food, water, some bandages and his map in a bag and attached his goggles to his head. Heading off to where his next adventure would be, Wolvendom. His bright green eyes shone in the sun and his gray-ish hair flowed with the wind as he left the gates of Mondstadt.

After some time, he finally arrived at Wolvendom, jumping with excitement, the boy didn't even stop to breathe as he entered the wolf's territory. He tried not to make too much noise, as he didn't know what enemies he could stumble upon, the area was brand new for him, so all he knew was that Wolvendom was not a place to joke around. Bennett had only ever known about Wolvendom in the stories his dads used to tell him, and in rumours, he heard in the city, it was his first time in those woods, so he couldn't keep his excitement.

The boy ventured into the woods, paying attention to every single detail, he decided to pick some wolfhooks for his friend Barbara, she used them to make medicine, and he wanted to help her out, since she was also the one who took care of him when he got hurt, and that happens quite often. Most of the wolfhooks got stuck to him because he didn't know how to pick them properly, but he managed to get some and put them in his bag.

Distracted with the wolfhooks, he didn't notice the hilichurls behind him, only looking at them when he got hit in the head by a rock thrown by one of them.

He quickly got up and drew his sword, getting into his stance, he blocked another hilichurls attack and hit him with his weapon. He engulfed his blade with fire using his vision and managed to break the hilichurls club, but got hit by another hilichurs arrow in the process. Deciding to take on the ranged hilichurl first, he charged at his enemy, slashing it with his sword, he managed to defeat the creature. He turned around to face the second hilichurl, who attacked him with its club, managing to hit the boy's arm, making it bleed. The boy shook it off and tried to slash him with his fire but his blade missed the target by an inch as his enemy dodged the attack. He tried again, slashing the creature with his sword, almost defeating it, but he got hit in the back by the third hilichurl, ripping a few of his clothes and making the boy fall.

Standing up, he charged his blade with fire, looking at the closest hilichurl, he made three consecutive fire attacks in a row, managing to injure his enemy severely. He struck it again, hitting it with his weapon and ending the creature. The boy looked back, blocking another attack given by the other hilichurl. Not giving him time to charge his sword with fire, the monster attacked again, interrupting the boy's attack and injuring his arm.

The boy then attacked, his arm was hurting a lot, but he ignored it and focused on the fight. Quickly charging his blade with fire, he attacked the hilichurl once, burning some of its skin, and after some hits of his sword, he was able to defeat his enemy and end the battle.

Lowering his sword, he then stopped to look at his injuries. The only thing that seemed to hurt was his arm, so he prioritized that. Looking for the bandages he had earlier put in his bag, he covered the injury with them, doing so as carefully as possible, but it then started to rain. Not wanting to catch a cold, he quickly patched his arm up and ran to look for shelter, planning on putting the bandage properly once he was out of the rain. He put his bag above his head and ran to try to find a place where he could sit and rest.

After some time, his eyes landed on a cave. The entrance was big, but the rain didn't seem to get in it. Entering the opening, he sat down and started to properly cover his arm with the bandage. Then something happened, a real miracle of misfortune. With the rain, lightning also came and happened to strike right on top of the cave Bennett was in, making rocks fall, and blocking the only exit.

The boy looked up from his arm when he heard the crashing sound of the rocks. Panicked, he got up and tried to take them out of the way, which didn't work. He then tried to hit the rocks with his sword, but only managed to get it stuck between the rocks.

Trying miserably to get it out, he then heard a noise coming from the depths of the cave. The boy looked back, seeing a pair of red eyes in the dark. Those eyes stared straight into your soul. He then heard a growl, and was scared, as all he thought of was "wolf".
