Chapter 15: To Battle
after leaving the chief I ran over to the blacksmith shop. since I didnt have a weapon I was hoping that Lensa was done with my weapons or at the very least sell me ones to use.
I arrived at The blacksmith shop at find lensas father hard at work repairing a sword for an awaiting elf. he looked up as I arrived and said
"I was wondering when we were gonna see you again, Lensa just got done with your daggers not long ago."
" She did? That's great! I was going to go out and Help get rid of the bear, but the daggers I had before were dropped in the forest."
with a serious look in the Smith's eyes after hear that he said.
"young man you had better take more care of these daggers than the last pair then, These are with out a doubt the Best I have ever seen her craft."
after he said that he handed me a rolled piece of leather that contained my new daggers. I unrolled them and an ornate sheath with a depiction of a a giant wolf head howling at the moon was embossed on them. I unsheathed one of the daggers and for a second my mind went blank.
The daggers were exquisite! the hilt was pure silver, it had a D guard that looked like a crescent moon with a wolves head as the handle and in the wolves mouth was the pommel, where a clear crystal was. the blade itself was pitch black and looked like a slimmed down version of the wolf tooth I gave her.
except on the back side that should be curved, I could see the all too familiar spiral from the rabbit horn, I should know what that horn looks like I mean I've hunted plenty of them the past few days.

as I marveled at the dagger i asked the Smith.
"can I see lensa and thank her for these?"
"Lensa worked herself day and night in some kind of trance to get those done for you. she is going to be asleep for a few days, so you can talk to her and thank her when she wakes up"
"then I will be back when she wakes up, for now I am going to see if I can help with this bear."
"ok just don't lose those daggers on their first hunt or she will definately kill you."
"you have my word I'll make sure to keep them safe"
with that I turned around and ran toward the gate where the hunters were rallying. as I ran I fastened my new daggers on my waist and ran through my inventory to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
when I arrived at the gate I saw the chief talking to the elf who would be leading us. I walked up to him and said
"I'm back and ready to go hunt when do we leave?"
the elf, and the chief who were talking, stopped and turned toward me
"my name is Fenril and I'll be in charge if this group, young man do you have a bow or know some magic or anyway to do long range attacks?"
"no all I know how to use are my daggers why what's wrong?"
"this is a big raid, and if we have everyone running in to do close combat the lord of the forest will kill everyone in a few swipes, so were having everyone at least equip a bow."
I was at a loss at what to do when the chief said.
"here young man take this bow and quiver, I owe you a prize for saving my grand daughter I was going to make you a totem but this seems more appropriate at this time."
with that the chief handed me a polished dark green bow and a matching quiver

"thanks chief! I'll be sure to put it to great use!"
"ok now that your set up with a bow go over to Squad 6 with everyone else, we are going to head out in 5 minutes once the last of the stragglers arrive."
I walked over to where my group was awaiting their orders. everyone gave me quick glance, and went back to their nervous chatter amongst them selves.
as the last of the elves gathered the chief and Fenril went up on the battlements surrounding the city and a hushed murmur went over the crowd, then Fenril spoke.
" everyone I want to thank you for coming to the aid of our Village, We have tried to live in Harmony with the lord of the forest, however today the lord of the forest is on a rampage and now we have no choice, in order to protect this village, our families, and our loved ones we must drive the lord of the forest out! there will be casualties in this battle but those who pass on will never be forgotten, you will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone here today! we are off to battle so everyone form up and get with your squad leaders they will assign you your positions and orders."
with that Fenril lept off the battlements and took his place at the front of the awaiting masses.
a female elf walked in front of the awaiting squad 4 and introduced herself.
"my name is Sonya and I'll be leading this squad today. if you know magic throw your strongest spells and if you have a bow shoot as many arrows as you can. every squad will take turns sending in 4 close combat fighters to keep the bear occupied. this is a very dangerous job and these fighters will be the most likely to die first. i will take the first spot so I need 3 of you to volunteer,"
I looked down at my new daggers that were itching to be put to use and with out a moment's hesitation I raised my hand
"I'll take one of those spots if you'll have me"
