After finishing his tea, the young boy fell asleep. He must have been exhausted, Erik thought, as he returned to the deck of the ship. The sky was now blue and sunny, the sea had calmed down and was crystal clear. He continued sailing north.

As he scanned the sea, Erik noticed black ooze-like stains in the water again. He wondered what they could be. Over time, the stains became more frequent and seemed to be growing in size.

Hours passed, and the sun began to set. Finally, the boy awoke and came up to the deck.

“Hi, how are you?” Erik asked.

“My head hurts, and I am hungry,” the boy replied.

“Alright, I have fish soup in the cooking pot if you want.”

“Sounds good, but can I trust you? I don't know you or where I am.”

“Well, I saved your life; you were drowning. Besides, you have no other choice. We're in the middle of the ocean, and if my calculations are correct, we're days away from dry land.”

“I guess that's true. Okay, then I would really appreciate some fish soup.”

“Alright, let me heat it for you.”

Erik went into the small kitchen of his boat and lit the fire under the pot. Afterward, they both sat down to have dinner.

The battle with the snake, was my first encounter with a monster. At the time, I just thought monsters were just another part of this strange world to me. It wasn't until later that I realized these creatures did not belong and it was up to me to eliminate them. After defeating the serpent, I found Jannay nearby, mourning her family who had been killed by the beast. I felt terrible for her loss but didn't know how to help her cope with such a tragedy. She clung onto me, fearing she would be alone again.

I embraced her and promised that I wouldn't leave her side. Deep down, I decided to take Jannay along with me on my journey, even though I had no idea where we were heading. We spent the night in the same cave I stayed at before, and she slept safely in my arms until morning came.

The next day, I ventured out to find food for us. Being unskilled in hunting, I gathered some fruit instead. After our meal, I made the decision that we should travel eastward.

Without delay, Erik lowered a rope into the sea and then leaped in himself. He swam towards the boy and assisted him by pulling him toward their ship. Climbing up the rope together, Erik noticed an unusual black ooze in the water but was unsure of its nature. The young boy was chilled to his bones, so Erik provided him with some warm blankets for comfort. Afterward, he went on to prepare a steaming cup of tea for both of them to enjoy and help ease their discomfort from the cold ocean waters.

In a distant part of the universe, a voice spoke, “How is the situation?” Another figure replied, “It's quite dire; many are wounded and several are in critical condition. It may have spread to other universes as well.” “This is concerning,” said the first figure. “We need heroes now more than ever. Prepare for the activation of Project Imortel, initially only within our universe which has been hit hardest.” “I understand, but Death won't be pleased with this decision.” “I don't care; it must be done,” said the first figure resolutely. “Death will eventually accept that this is necessary.”

I followed the little girl towards her settlement. It didn't take long to see an incredibly large snake with two heads. Much bigger than I had imagined, I could see how scared Jannay was. I told her to stay here and not come closer.

I ran toward the snake, part of me thought I must be crazy running towards a monster snake. That did not stop me though. As I entered the destroyed settlement, the snake immediately noticed me. It moved its long neck towards me, and one of its heads snapped at me before I could react. I remember its teeth chewing on my body; it was painful. But I died in a matter of seconds.

I found myself surrounded by darkness once again. Then, the next thing I remember is waking up on the ground. I assume the monster spit me out for some reason and did not swallow me. Maybe I didn't taste good. Ha!

I picked up some hunting spears lying on the ground next to me. I threw them at the snake, which hurt it a bit. But then it tried to attack mr again. Thankfully, my life as a thief made me quick and flexible. As I was running, I saw another spear with a bigger pointy stone head and thick wooden stick handle. It gave an idea; instead of just throwing it at the snake, I managed to get behind the snake and climb on top of it.

I climbed its long and slippery body up, the snaking did not help but I managed to reach the top of its neck. Then I thrust the spear into its neck where the two heads met. The snake began screaming and shaking, blood gushing out from the wound into the air and onto me. It struggled and threw me off, breaking my bones in the fall and causing me pain. Eventually, the snake collapsed and died.

Next something strange happened; its body evaporated as star dust, entering the sky where it formed a star constellation.

It had been 3 days since Erik set sail with his ship, and he estimated it would take another two days to reach the next port. The sea was mercifully calm, allowing him to focus on navigating in the right direction while spending his time fishing for food. He planned to sell any extra fish once he reached land.

On the fourth day of his journey, the weather took a turn for the worse. The wind grew stronger and dark clouds covered the sky. Erik lowered the sails and prepared to face the storm. As rain poured down and waves rose high, Erik's trusty ship proved its worth in handling such conditions. A few hours later, the storm passed, leaving behind a calm sea with birds soaring through the blue skies.

Suddenly, Erik spotted a boy struggling in the water, clinging to a log for dear life.

In the heart of winter, Nick found himself lost in an icy forest. Each step was a struggle, but he pressed on, hoping for warmth and safety. An hour later, exhausted, he collapsed into the snow and drifted off to sleep. In his dreams, he imagined lying on a sunny beach sipping delicious cocktails.

When Nick regained consciousness, he discovered himself in a large Wolf by his side. Nick was scared. But then the wolf spoke: “Don't be afraid, stranger, I am Lupar the wolf spirit. I help those who have been kind to nature like you. I raised Romulus and Remus a long time ago. You can stay here until you recover, and then I will guide you back to civilization. He was safe for now but still had concerns about returning home. Grateful for the refuge, Nick stayed until he recovered enough to face the world again.

A week later Nick had fully recovered with the help of the wolf spirit. As promised, Lupar guided him back to civilization. Deeply moved by their encounter, Nick dedicated his life to protecting nature and its creatures, especially wolves. He would never forget the wolf spirit that saved him on that cold winter's day.
