It was a quiet night in the town. Quiet like many others in last months. The noise of the day's activities was ended and the only sound citizens could hear was the cricket sound. All were in their home to rest after a hard day's work in front their oven. All except one person.
He was walking around town streets, enjoying the tranquility that only nights like this could give him. He was happy because his dream had come true. A town where crafters could work in a safe place, sell their goods and live with their family without the risk of a life far from big city.
But something was disturbing these tought. It was some days he had a strange felling: something wrong was happening around his town. Some days before the strange encounter with that creature. And now rumors about strange screams in the forest around the town.
*Why now? Why so suddendly? All was going well and now this...* While he was walking these questions were constantly in his head.
*Good Evening My Lord*... A voice from the shadow scared him.
*Ang !... How many times i have to tell you don't jump outside from shadow in this way? One day i'll die for an heart attack! *
*You are healthy My Lord!*
*You said the same thing 200 time ago!* And then he starts to laugh. *Sorry Arn but in last days i'm a bit nervous. And how many time i have to say you don't call me Lord??? We are friend by 30 years so you can just call me Magichands.
*Yes My Lor.. Ehrm Magichands.. But it's hard for me don't call you My Lord.. You are the Lord of this Town! *
* Oh come on.. It's only a title and at least when we are alone you can forget it no?*
* KK My Lord*.
Magichands starts to laugh * You'll never change My Old Friend*...
In the meanwhile he start to think about how many years has passed since their first encounter. A young crazy man that wanted only travel around the world and a young savage that was running away from a strange creature. *If only you could see him today... He becomes a strong and loyal ally... A true friend...You were right as always...*
*What did you say My Lord?*
*Oh nothing... Just speaking with myself my old friend... But tell me.. How it's gone your search?*
*Nothing My lord*
*What??? Nothing? You didn't find any traces?*
*Yes My Lord... Nothing... No footprints on the ground, no smells... There is nothing out of place... But....*
* But what?*
* I don't know my lord but i have a strange fellings... I'm sure there is something in these forests but i can't find anything and it's very strange...*
* You are right Ang... It's impossible that anything will escape you... But...*
* Sorcery My Lord... Sorcery... Before that creature you found in the forest... Now this... it must be sorcery for sure*
* What's wrong with this sweety creature?*
* Sweettyyyyyyy?? My lord are you crazy? It's bigger than 3 wolf, and his eyes... When they look at you, it's like he is reading your soul... Or maybe it's like he is thinking about eat you !*
Magichands start to laugh *Like now?*... Ang Ogger turn on himself just only to find in front of him that creature... An enourmous wolf black and red with 2 big yellow eyes with teeth and claws long as half man's arm...
*What the hell??? How did you come here without making noise????? See My Lord... It's this i'm speaking... It's sorcery !!!*... The big wolf start to walk slowly and then lie down near Magichands. Caressing him slowly Magichands smile and then turn on Ang Ogger *See? It's like a cat !!*
*You are crazy My Lord but maybe you know what are you doing... And don't you think maybe it's time you begin to use your ability to find something to help us to understand what's happening?*
*I'm only a crafter Ang... Maybe a good crafter but only a crafter...*
* You aren't only a crafter My Lord... You know and it's time to....*
* Ang you know i don't want speak about that... Those times are gone forever!*
* Sorry My Lord i didn't want...*
* No need to sorry Ang... It's my fault... I'm just only nervous... well it's time for you to rest a bit... Come back at your home... Eat something and sleep and tomorrow we'll see*
* All right My Lord... Good night and it's better if you go to rest you too... You are very tired*
* Ehehe don't worry my friend... I'll do it... Good Night*
Ang Ogger bows and then disappear in the shadow leaving alone the wolf and Magichands.
He start to walk around the town again with many toughts in his head.
*Why you didn't tell him who am i?* Magichands got scared by that voice
*Lupacchiotto!!! Want you too i die for an heart attack???*...
* You are healthy My lord* voice answer...
Magichands start laughing *For how much time did you spy us????*...
*Oh well not much... Anyway why you didn't tell him who am I??*
*Are you crazy??? What's do you think will be his reaction?? Ang Ogger don't worry.. This big wolf can speak with me in my head and he isn't dangerous !!!... I bet he will start to yell around: Sorcery!! Sorcery!!! No no better if he doesn't know anything for the moment*
*Well but isn't wrong that... It's your Sorcery !!!*
*Sorcery??!! Are you crazy?? i didn't cast any sorcery.. How could i know that you were coming from another plane and that my healing spell will bonded you to me???.. I tought only to help a creature wounded !!*
*Yes and i thank you for that.. But you cast a sorcery*
*Strange your way to say thank you !! Well better come back at home... It's too late*
The wolf and the lord turn in a street and start to follow it to come back home.
* Who are you?*
That simple question.. *What you mean? I'm the Lord of this town and i'm a crafter*
* No i asked you who are you really? Your friend say something...*
* I don't want speak about it !!*
* But you say you are the lord of this town right? Isn't responsability of a lord protect his citizens? If you can do something and you don't do it you are running away from you responsability*
*What the hell??!!! A wolf that make me a sermon about my responsability!!!*
* Can you do something more for your town and citizens??*
* No!! Well... No... Or maybe... I could... But it's hard... It's something forgot...*
* Well if you remember it isn't forgot... So if you don't do that you are running away from your responsability*
* What??? Or damn... You are right... But... But... It's so painful...*
* W h o A r e Y o u?*
* Oh stop! Come on i'll show you*
Magichands starts to walk faster with the wolf behind him and after entered in his house, he went in a old room. It seemed that the room had not been open for years... And in the middle of the room he started to spell some strange words.... After some seconds a little light start to shine around the room and it went in a corner of the room lighting up a magical door.
*Listen to me Lupacchiotto... In the next room don't touch anything, understand? I'm here just to take a thing so please don't touch anything kk?*
* Understood*
While walking slowly in the room a light start to shine over everything but mostly on an manequin with a wonderful Set Armor.
*I'm sorry... I'm breaking my promise... I don't want but it's necessary this time... Forgive me* .While wispering those words a shadow appeared on Magichands's face...
* Who are you talking to?*
* Nothing my friend... Nothing*
After took all armor parts they went out from the rooms and with some strange Magichands' words the door disappear.
*So here we are... I hope it still will fit me... So many years i don't wear it... Remember Lupacchiotto: No words with anyone about what you saw this evening kk?*
*Understood... But what's this??? I can feel a powerful energy coming from that armor!!! You made it??*
*No no i wish but i wasn't so good... It was a present from a person that wanted to protect me*
*And it worked?*
*Yes it worked fine... But the cost... Was too high.. too high... *
Magichands start to wear every pieces... *Whattttt? What's are these laughing in my head!!! Why are you laughing so hard???*
* Your hat!!! That hat tip is so ridicolous on you!!!*
*What????????? It was my favourite hat!! Don't joke me about it... And to be honest i can't accept this from...* Magichands start to laughs * from a sweety wolf with a pink ribbon *
*Pink Ribbon??? Where is it?....* Turning back Lupacchiotto see a big pink ribbon on his tail... *Whattttttt???? Take it out from me now or I...*
*You what??? You started joking me about my hat... Or maybe you want that ribbon between your ears?*
*Whatttttt????? Take away that damn thing from my head !!!!!* After that he jumps on Magichands fighting playfully and licking his face...*
*KK kk you won... The ribbon is gone but you have to sorry with me for my hat !!!*
*Maybe i'll do it.. Or maybe not*
*You are a crazy wolf !!!*
*Well that for sure... I'm going around with a Crazy Man with a stupid hat on his head !!*
Still laughing Magichands pats Lupacchiotto and they go outside the house.
*Listen me ... From now it will be not a joke... I don't know how, but i had a strange felling about everything is happening around our town... I think we'll need many nights before explore every parts of these forests but if something will go bad remember to run to Ang Ogger's House... He is a friend and also if he will never admit it, he is charmed by you and your power so he will help you. Remember always this kk?*
* Understood Magichands... But you think we'll had problems?*
* Who know... You come here from another plane and maybe you aren't the only one*
The wolf and the man start walk in the forest and their shape disappear in the shadow.....
