Chapter 7. Return of a injured farmer:

As Dave looked at the green stem his eyes widened. utterly lost control of his anger. At the top of the stem was a tiny bit of purple. Dave knew exactly what it was. It was a Detriota. The thing he spent this entire time to find. Dave stood there dazed. The sun has already half set into the horizon. Dave quickly noticed that he wasn't moving. He was enraged and happy at the same time. He charged right upto the stem and got on his knees. He took out a small shovel and started digging. After he dug a small hole next to the Fungi he saw a few white bones. He continued to dig them out. Eventually he took out a surprisingly well preserved skeleton. This skeleton was stripped away from all that once surrounded it. No muscles, no skin, no flesh, none… nothing remained. The bones were with him and it was time to set on. After walking for a short while he found the road he originally used to get to Copper Cantury. By the time he arrived at the town it was already night. The guards were utterly shocked to see an injured man covered in wounds, scratch marks and bruises approaching the town's west gate. Copper Cantury was fairly large for a town therefore it had 5 gates. The North gate is where he came out of today while he returned at the west gate, so the guards did not recognize him at all. After some questioning the guards allowed Dave to pay the entrance fee and let him in. Dave reached the research center at night. Dave soon discovered that Leanana was still at her office. It seemed that she had some things to complete before leaving.

When Leanana saw him she looked surprised at how injured he was. She asked if he was ok and also gave him a cup of water. After telling her a simplified version of what he went through he gave her the skeleton. After that he received his payment and went to rent himself a new room in a nearby tavern.

After a bit of haggling and getting a lot of strange looks from the people nearby, Dave managed to get a room. He went up the stairs and entered his room. He cleaned himself up and collapsed on the bed. He started to dwell on what happened earlier today. The memories of what he did to that wolf-like monster kept crawling up into his mind making it difficult to fall asleep. He felt as if something awakened within him once he finished eating the wolf-like monster. Dave eventually fell asleep allowing his tattered body to recover.
