The Slave: A SetoSorcerer/ ClassicPsy/ Waglington Story

Ch. Four: Meeting Isaac

*Seto's P.O.V*
Cooked venison, or rather semi-cooked venison, has never tasted so good as it did last night. I haven't had meat in a long time, I missed it so much. The wolf kept following me, so I just decided to name her Nova. I won't stink anymore as well since I jumped into the river. Nova runs pass me and slows down, walking a steady pace and looking back at me ever now and than like she is checking to make sure I'm behind her. While I was in the river, I noticed some weird tattoo on my chest that was covered by my dry blood. I'm not so up to date with magic as I use to be. I definitely need to practice my magic and also get physical fit enough again so I can handle doing my powerful spells. But first I need to get home, but I have no idea where the nether I am. Hopefully I can find a town or something, get some new clothes and shoes. But I don't have any money to buy any I just realized. I just need shoes at least and maybe a coat or something, it was cold even before I jumped into a river.

After what felt like a few hours, I set my eyes on a town. A semi-busy one, it has stone buildings and stalls with food and more. I look down at Nova.

"Um...s-st-stay." I stuttered. Nova stares at me, dumbfounded. I can't bring a wolf into town. I don't know this town's opinion on magic and bring her might raise questions. I walk out of the bushes and onto the road, but as I walk I could hear Nova trailing me. I look behind me and stop. "N-No." I turn around as she stops and runs into the bushes. I chuckle slightly and smile. "I-I s-see you." She pops her head out of the bush, her tongue hanging off the side of her mouth. I smile at her at how funny she looks. Again..she acts more like a dog than a wolf. She tilts her head, pulling her tongue back in. I sigh in defeat. "C-Come o-on." Nova comes out of the bushes and runs by my side, jumping on me. I grab her paws, feeling her sharp claws. I pet her head and she shakes slightly. I continue walking, she stays by my right side.

As soon as I entered the town I could feel some stares. But I kept my head low, Nova right behind me. How can you stay low with a bigger than a normal wolf following you and also dry blood on you? My eyes look around the stalls, good thing people are busy. I swipe a small knife from a stall which I slip into my pocket when no one was looking. Now I just need shoes and maybe a cloak or coat and a map as well, that will be useful.  I go into a open shop and I look at a black cloak. I grab it, looking at it. Nova sits down next to me. I look down at her and than my eyes catch a pair of dark brown boots a some socks. I don't remember the last time I wore shoes or even socks. I was able to take off the braces off my ankles, than Nova licks the bruises off them. But the scars are still there. I walk over to the boots. I grab the black socks. I look over at the storeowner, he's busy. I grab the boots and I swipe the black cloak as well, leave the shop and hiding instantly. I sit on the ground next to Nova. I slip on the socks and than the boots. I grab the knife I took and put it in the boot seeing a small hiding place for a knife in there. I pull the cloak off the hanger and I put it on, pulling the hood up instantly. The cloak is a little big, but it will have to do. I stand up and I hear Nova growl. I turn around seeing someone standing there, staring at me.

"You shouldn't steal." They said. I look away from him, feeling guilty. I know I shouldn't, but I'm desperate. I take a step back when they walk towards me. Nova growls at the guy. "You're lost, aren't you?" I don't answer him, not because he is right but because I don't know if I should trust him. Sooner or later word is gonna spread that Seto Azdel is still alive, who said I was dead in the first place? But I have to stay out of populated areas so I don't get recognized, I mean I look totally different than I did four years ago. "Let me help you." I look at the guy, Nova stops growling.

"I-I'm f-fi-fine." I stuttered. He rises an eyebrow at me.

"Is that so? I could always turn you in to the guards for stealing. Stealing is against the law you know." He said. My eyes widen slightly, I just got my freedom back and I don't intend on losing it again. "And you don't look that tough." He walks up to me and I look up seeing he is taller than me and a little thicker in the muscle department than I am. He also seems to have dark brown hair, grey eyes, and a black jacket with a hood and a sword strapped to his side which makes me nervous. I take a step back.
