Chapter 9: The Cloak Actually Does Something?

Right as I was starting to get bored of dodging the wolf-man's

pathetic attempts, I felt something shift. The Cloak of 'Nah, I'm Good'

fluttered around me like it had a mind of its own, almost like it was

trying to say, "Hey, don't just stand there and let this dude slap you

around."

For some reason, I didn't even think about it. Without knowing why, I

yanked the cloak in front of me as the wolf-man lunged for another

strike. The cloak glowed, and before I knew it, the wolf-man

slammed into a sort of invisible barrier. He bounced back like he'd

run into a brick wall, groaning in pain.

I stood there, wide-eyed. "Okay, now that was not in the instruction

manual."

Kyuu blinked, her ears perking up in surprise. "What just happened?"

I had no idea. But for once, I wasn't complaining.
