A wolf-1

Arun was really impressed by Adventurer Guild in Lando because after coming out of the dungeon, he didnt encounter any beasts or monsters of any sort. He was quite surprised that by nightfall he didnt even find a mere goblin. The town's adventurers did a phenomenal job of taking care of their surroundings.

That city smelled like piss and was a shithole. But at least they cleaned up the area around it.

The moon was up in the sky and he made a camp for himself. He lit up a fire, and while basking under the light of the moon, he ate his food. His mood was dampened a little bit when he realized that he had forgotten to fill up his water and food supplies. And he was running low on them. But he figured that he would manage somehow.

That night he was watching the stars and was having a good time in the peaceful environment when he received a message. The window that the message appeared was glitchy, just like the one that he got when he got that Anamoly Quest.

Now that is new. Arun thought. But like the other invitations he had, he ignored this one as well. Because there was no benefit to joining this Familia. 

He realized that this Destroyer of Worlds fucker was the leader of the Anamolies. At least that was his current theory.

That fucker didnt give him any reward for the things that he did in the previous quest. He might not have succeeded in killing off any of the enemy Familia members, but he was still able to save the old man. And still, he didnt get any sort of reward.

So why the hell would he even consider joining this Familia? Because from the way he sees it, there is nothing that they could offer him, that he cannot get on his own. Which is why, he just ate his food and went to sleep. From tomorrow onwards he would be in the deep jungle, and there might be a chance that he would not be able to get good sleep tomorrow. So, he needs to rest today…

Arun found himself sitting in a cold dark cave, which was illuminated by this blue light. The crazy part was, he could not make out where the light was coming from. While the craziest part about the cave was the wolf, that was chained before him. The wolf was black and had blue eyes like the ocean, and that thing was staring at him intently. The wolf was big, it looked as big as a small baby elephant.

But the strangest part about the wolf was that it was bound by the cave by chains. And these chains were big as if they were made for a creature at least 20 times bigger than the wolf before him.

"You didnt accept the invitation." He heard an ancient voice in his mind.

Hearing the words, a chill ran down Arun's spine. But at the same time, he couldnt help but think whether he would be able to handle this wolf, if it came jumping on him.

"Speak boy," He looked around, "Who is talking?"

"We are the only two here," said the voice, and it is when Arun looked at the wolf with astonishment, "What kind of freaky Friday is this?"'

"Never seen a talking wolf before?" the voice asked.

"Yup," Arun then stood and approached the wolf, and then started inspecting the chains the wolf was bound by. He maintained a distance from the beast, knowing well, what was good for him. It was then the wolf continued, "You didnt answer my question boy, why didnt you accept the invitation,"

Not paying a lot of attention to the wolf, Arun started looking around, "And why would I accept this… invitation? I have no reason to accept it now, do I?"

"You are underestimating the power of Familia my boy. When all the gods would start to make their move, and multiple familia would be formed, you would need someone to watch your back,"

Arun chuckled hearing this, "That sounds like bullshit,"

"If you dont believe in our cause or your lord, why the hell did you choose to serve him in the first place?" Arun looked turned towards the wolf.

"I agree to serve under someone? Why? What did you offer me?" he asked.

"You dont remember why joined our cause?" the wolf asked.

"No," he said with a resolution, "Should I? Because till now I was operating with the theory that all the Anamolies have their memory erased,"

The wolf stared at him, and then said, "No. They dont,"

It was a lot to wrap your head around." What the hell do you mean?" he asked. "I dont remember anything about my past. I can only speculate what kind of man I was by looking at my shadow, but I dont remember anything. Why is that?" The wolf fell silent to his question, making him realize that there was something really wrong there.
