Wanderlust

Episode thirty-two

Both of them proceed to fight their opponents. Yelling, screaming and the sound of metal hitting metal, can be heard. Sag finds himself with his back to the woods, fighting a circle of soldiers. A strange feeling runs through him. Suddenly, an arrow pierces through his leg and the witch is forced to go down on his knee. A sword appears in front of their eyes and he manages, almost too late, to block it with his axe. The sparks, created by both weapons, nearly hits his eyes. With his free hand he creates a wave shock, throwing away three soldiers, that were about to attack him from the side.
"Move!"
The pressure against his axe, suddenly lessens.
"Huh?"
The man, that was in front of him, now runs to the side. Everyone seems to run away from the little witch.
"What..? Ey, get your asses back here, you cowards."
he flinches. The feeling, from just now, is back.
"Release it!"
A loud animalic growl is to hear. "Ahhh....shit."
A rhino like creature stands on the other side of the battlefield and shashes with his hoove on the ground. Suddenly, it starts running towards the small person. Sag tries to get up, but immediately finds himself on the floor again. A nervous smile finds it's way on the little person's face, as he takes off his helmet and places it next to him. He inhales calmly, as the creature starts running. The witch, slowly, moves his arm into the air and points at the sky, exhaling again, in a small whistle. Pascal, who is a little further away from the spot where Sag is kneeling, takes notice of the situation.
"Sag! Sag get away from there!" He tries to help the witch but three other people throw him to the ground. The creature is now only a few meters from the witch away.
"Alright,"
Sag whispers. He takes his arm down, pointing at the creature now, "FETCH!!" A giant beast jumps out the forest, behind and over the small person, landing on the creature's head and smashing it into the ground. The giant direwolf barks and growls, bites into the creature's back and tears it appart. Pascal's and Rey´s eyes widen, at the sudden situation. Sag points away, from the torn corpse and moves his finger into Pascal´s direction. The direwolf looks at the person, as they whistle again and immediately runs into the pointed direction, biting and kicking the men, on Pascal. He throws one of the men into the air and swallows him whole, as he falls back down. The nose of the beast finds itself in front of Pascal, taking in his scent and deciding to leave him be. Another whistle resounds and  the wolf runs over the field, following more and more orders and helping Rey, Pascal and Sag in their battle. The witch managed to get up and limps over to his son.
"You good?"
Pascal is still mighty confused, which can´t be seen, due to his helmet.
"..Yeah. What..what´s that?"
"My friend. His name is Rufus." "..okay."
he streches the word somethat. "A shit! I left my helmet, laying there."
The witch limps back to the spot, he left seconds ago.
