Chapter 3
Chapter 3
As Ragnar just finished his training with a wooden sword. A small pack of 4 wolves came out from the snowy clearing of forest. Their was still lingering bandages across Ragnar's body but other than that he was mostly fine
What's not fine is that he left his tomahawk in the chopping block and his knife inside the cave. Good thing the tomahawk was just ten meters away from him. With the wooden sword in hand for blunt damage, Ragnar made a run for the tomahawk, with the wolves in tow.
He almost reach the tomahawk when suddenly he sense a fifth wolf coming from his left side. So he rolled forward, barely dodge the wolf and overshot the chopping block. With Ragnar facing the five wolves blocking his only weapon to kill them, he needs to use the wooden long sword to knock back the wolves.
Even though it's been only a month practicing form one, with the blood of the Númenóreans, he quickly grasp the form to be considered a newly appointed Jedi knight. The wolves charge at him simultaneously, so he dodge left to make a distance the walk closer to his tomahawk.
Then two wolves lunges at him, with one nearer and the other, just behind it. So knock back the near one to the right and the one behind it, who lunges, knock it back to the left. Ragnar still inchig forward to the tomahawk the other three wolves move in to his vicinity. With the two already lunging and the other one still running. Ragnar dodge to the left to avoid being bitten and slash the last one to the right.
With the tomahawk in arms reach, Ragnar grab the axe and swung it powerfully, like a true viking, towards the incoming wolf's neck,who already lunges. With the wolf decapitated and the blood spraying all over Ragnar's face. With that Ragnar lift the head towards the other wolf and roared at them, trying to intimidate the other four wolves. It work for a time but the alpha wolf growl at the cowards to continue.
With the alpha's command, the other wolf are preparing to attack Ragnar again. Seeing this Ragnar calmed himself again for another fight. With that he roared at the wolves and charge forward with an axe in the right for killing and the wooden sword for blocking on his left. Ragnar didn't know what is the outcome of this fight, but he do know that he will be gaining a lot more of action points for this one.

Line break
------------------
We see Ragnar breathing deeply with with wounds all over his shirtless body. You can even see claw mark on his chest and a bite wound from his left hand directly given by the alpha wolf. Even if he got any diseases from that bite, his Númenórean bloodline will counteract any diseases he took.
All around Ragnar is the dead wolf, with the last one being the farthest because it tried to run away. Ragnar didn't let it so he threw the tomahawk hard and struck the wolf precisely at the spine. Ragnar began to move closer to get the axe and return to the cave to recuperate.
On his way to the cave,he began to think that he needs to move to another location now due to the frequent wolf attack in area. With that in mind he began to plan for his next course of action but first he needs to heal.
Once inside the cave he looks at his action points and raised an eyebrow. His action points are in the above fifty thousand mark. He thought 'maybe it's how you do it to get more action points, the first time I killed a wolf I was given a thousand and that was I direwolf!' "Maybe their just stingy from giving action points or it's the skill issue on how I kill."
With that in mind, he carefully buy the medical essentials to disinfect and cover up the wounds. He being careful right now in order not to splurge unnecessarily in order to buy something from the shop with the remaining points. He began applying the alcohol on his wounds then began covering it. He notice that his body is becoming leaner due to his training for a month in this frozen forest.
With that he finish up bandaging the wounds carefully drag the wolf carcasses into the cave for processing. He quickly clean up the battle area in order not to attract any more wolves ' I really need to move out of this area' he thought. Then he quickly process the wolf that took until the sunset.
We see Ragnar sitting on the cold ground watching the blue panel in front of him while the the deer meat was cooking by the fire. Ragnar saw his stats which were:
Name: Ragnar Lothbrok
Race: Númenórean (late dúnedain)
Power: 13
Constitution: 10(-3injured)
Intelligence: 7
Charisma: 5
Magic: 3 (-3weakened)
"At least my months training was not a complete waste" he said while going to the shop option to buy something. "With the remaining points I can buy this item" he said while looking at the said item from the shopping cart icon:
Lembas bread 10
Knowledge fruit on tracking 1
Felling axe 1
Sled 1
With that he spend all his points in one go. He notice that the price on knowledge is discounted to fifty percent so he points. He wonders on why it's was discounted and he theorized that youhe needs to be in a certain level of skill to get a discount. Their is only one problem, he doesn't know what that level is. He can only know once he upgraded his panel to another level for the skill section and that going to be a long time.
Once he finish buying, he looked at the meat and saw it was almost finished. Before that he heard a rustle in the bushes outside and thinks its a wolf again. So Ragnar grab his knife and tomahawk in hand ready fight again. Once he was outside Ragnar began searching for the wolf in the dark. Though it's almost pitch black outside he can still clearly see in the distance only for 10 meters, beyond that it's dark, he can thank for his bloodline for that.
Once he spotted the rustling bushes he began to ready himself for a battle. Few seconds later we see the perpetrator who was rustling in the bushes. It was a cub of wolf to be more specific it is a direwolf cub.
He began to ready himself again because a direwolf is clearly different from a normal wolf, faster,stronger and taller. If their is a cub their suppose to be a mother in tow. So he waited for a second then it became a minute. Ragnar began lowering his guard but still cautious of his surroundings.
Then he saw the cub just standing still their motionless like it was struck with fear. Once Ragnar move closer it began whimpering. So he grab a small snack from his pocket to give it to the small pup. Once the pup saw the food it move cautiously to him and began eating the snack. Ragnar pat the head of the pup then gently scoop it and go to his cave.
"Well this is a convenient way to gain a companion" he said while knowing who gave him this pup.
