	They won. It was as simple as that and Lomen was blissfully happy that the battle went as smoothly as it did. He had his worries about Zectoll but the small goblin pulled through in the fight. Although it was strange to acquire skills. He hadn't put much thought into it, but as two skills were effected, it was odd to him that they seemed to pop up in words in front of his face. It made him wonder if the others were having the same peculiarity. Either way, Lomen was happy to have gained another skill while upgrading a different one.

	[color=1a7b30]"You two were excellent in that fight. I see that you didn't get that horn out of pure luck, Lomen. And Zectoll, you were able to move for less than a day and you already caught up to me. How do you think that will make me feel! Just kidding."[/color]

	Lomen chuckled a bit and held up his horn.[color=A9A9A9] "Seems so. Although you will have to teach me that battle-cry. It was the perfect mark for me to charge in."  [/color]

[color=1a7b30]"You probably realized it by now, but I used you two to get to Isurta and Xaal. I'm sorry I risked your lives. If you could, however, I would be indebted to you if you could help me carry them back."[/color]

	[color=A9A9A9] "Just don't make it a habit. Although it did work out in our favor this time since the wolves were unaware of us and one was killed immediately. Had they caught wind of us and attacked first, we would have been dead. Although that has past. I am willing to carry the fallen as to at least have their bones to bury." [/color] 

	Lomen then went about gathering all the loose bones that had not been gathered until they were all in a small pile. He then took the rabbit pelt off his back and used it as a bag for the remains, placing it near the wolf carcass. 

[color=1a7b30]"We should probably eat one of the wolves now. We will not be able to carry all of the bodies back, so getting rid of one of them would be good."[/color]

	[color=A9A9A9] "Agreed. If you both do not mind, I would like to keep the pelt of one of the wolves. It looks large enough to make into a cover for my body while not being too heavy."  [/color]

	Lomen then knelt at the carcass, offering a prayer to the gods of Beasts, Life, Death, and the Wind for the meal and then savagely devoured the heart and brain of the wolf. It had been easier to reach the heart and brain thanks to Zectoll removing a few pieces of the wolf already. After eating the main dish in his mind, Lomen began skinning the wolf in order to expose more meat.

	[color=A9A9A9] "If we are to eat, we must do it fast. I will skin the wolf to show more meat so Kishi and Zectoll, please eat fast. The smell of blood may attract other beasts and I want to stay alive. On a different note, Zectoll, good job in staying in position behind me. I had my worries since it was your first hunt, but those have been cast aside now. Congratulations, you live. And Kishi, we have avenged your fallen comrades and now are stronger for it. I am impressed by your bravery to start the strike and I look forwards to the next hunt. Although I hope you do not learn to hate the wolves for what they have done. All they do is kill to eat, grow, and survive. Much like us at the current moment and only the strong survive it seems. "[/color]

	Lomen hoped that this would partially sooth the possible hatred Kishi had for the wolves. Yes they did slaughter goblins that were close to him, but they were doing the same as the goblins, surviving as all natural things do. Either way Lomen concentrated on steadily skinning the wolf, enjoying the feeling of the air on his skin.

	[color=A9A9A9]"Also stay alert in case there are other monsters. Your battle cry Kishi may have been effective, but it may also attract danger.[/color]
