Break makes you break

I ran away. 

There is nothing shameful about that. I just did what my instinct told me and what I could reason to be the best thing for me to do. 

I already encountered a powerful monster once. If not for some kind of mad luck, Lucius would pay with his life in an attempt to save me back then. 

And I definitely wasn't going to track this monster all on my own!

As such, while moving as silently as I possibly could, I retreated into the depths of the forest, as far away from the monster's path as I could. 

'I guess I should report it,' I thought, turning around as I judged I ran sufficiently far enough. 

Right now, I was too distressed to even think about hunting. The few bones I managed to extract from my first hunt would have to suffice.
