As Ren, Ki and I walked into the forest, I could feel a sense of foreboding creeping under my skin and sinking into my bones. The world around me seemed to shrink down and I felt isolated. The dampness of the undergrowth left a stench under my nose and the dense foliage left little light to shine down upon our heads.

" Where to now young master " Ki stated as if we were on a holiday.

[ She sure doesn't scare easy ]

" I am choosing where we go?" I almost whispered and held myself a little.

I could hear the sounds of creatures far off into the distance echoing into my ears.

" Of course, we are here for you young master," Said Ren as he looked around and sniffed the air.

I had never been in the wilderness before, the closest jungle I had ever been in was made of concrete so I was worried I would lead us astray. My self-confidence was shrinking by the minute.

Kibble's voice rung in my ears and seemed to calm me.

[ Kibbles are you there? ]

" Yes, Meowster! Need anything" said kibbles as they were tucked away inside what I assumed was my soul.

[ No just glad to hear your voice. ]

" Meowster how sweet! Well, I am here if you need me! " Kibbles responded. They then seemed to materialise and land perfectly on my shoulder.

Kibble's warm fur and weight seemed to calm me like a hug, I thought for a minute before asking " Do we have a detailed map?" to both Ki and Ren who were waiting for instructions.

" We sure do!" Said, Ren, as he revealed a map.

After checking it over for a little while I chose for us to head northeast avoiding going too much further in. As we walked there we saw various footprints for animals as well as humans. Some were hooves while other were like chicken feet.

We had walked for a few hours before there was a strange smell wafting in the air, Ren quickly drew his sword, while Ki grabbed her daggers.

" What's wrong?" I whispered as I unsheathed my sword.

" Something's off," said Ren

" Mm this smell is bad young master... It's a scent used for drawing spirit beasts." Ki said before she was cut off by the sound of heavy hooves.

A ball containing pink fluid was thrown at our feet by an unknown assailant.

" We are surrounded!! " Shouted Ren

Thirty or so spirit beasts had surrounded us each gnashing their jaws and baring their fangs. They started to charge at us. I looked up to see the massive teeth of a creature about to bite my arm off. It stood on four legs and had a massive tail like a salamander.

What was unique about this creature, however, what was strange was that it was covered in deep black features and its mouth was a beak covered with razor-sharp teeth.

I abruptly dodged to my side but was almost trampled by another one. I looked over in shock to see Ki shout " Young Master! " before charging towards me. She was leaping over spirit beasts like she was possessed. She fought like a bloodthirsty death god stopping me dead in my tracks.

[ Ki can fight?! ]

" Young Master Look Out! Behind You!" Shouted Ren hysterically as he also went to reach for me.
