NOVEL SIMPLE Cycle 8 (6)
*****
Dear Diary,
We did it! We kidnapped the dire wolves! The whole pack!
I don’t usually feel like a mad genius, but at the moment I kinda want to laugh like a supervillain.
Steel and Fire were worried about the wolves reacting badly to them or something, but this pack of doggos is very well-trained. They know what to do when someone offers them meatballs. And that thing is to wag their tails and be friends.
There was a slight problem with my “ride wolves into battle” plan. Dogs don’t do well with bridles. And we wouldn’t muzzle the wolves. But! The kobolds got all the wolves used to pulling sleds, so they all know what harnesses are. So Avi made a harness, adjusted it for a rider, and duplicated it for everyone.
And sure, this all took like two hours, but we have wolf mounts now!! And yeah, the wolves are all down to 1 HP, but who cares we have wolves with us!!!!!
We’re on Floor 40 now, and I don’t even care that I can’t use the kitchen. Because, I may have mentioned, we have wolves.
There are a couple other groups here, and they’re equal parts afraid and amazed at our beautiful pack of wonderful fluffy dire wolf friends. Avi is taking all the credit, since he’s the official beast tamer here. I don’t mind.
Actually, I’m glad. Avi isn’t a fighter, so a lot of times he says he feels like a background character. That he’s just kinda there. But this was mostly his doing. He gets to be the main character for today.
Anyways, we gave all the wolves baths, and they’re dry now so we need to bush them.
Goodnight, Dungeon!
