Geno watches her leave with her pet and ponders following her. Turning to the older couple he began, "I was lost in the woods with the rain, I didn't think we would survive and in my good fortune I was able to find this cabin. I don't know what would have happened to Storm here or I if we didn't find this shelter."

Storm lifts his head from the bed and makes a huffing sound before shaking himself off and laying back down

"Poor storm hates the rain....but we must be going. I fear we've intruded enough and it's a long way through these woods again. Could you provide some details on what lies in which direction so we might not get lost again?"

Geno eyes the food apprehensively

"And if it's not to much to bother, could we take some of this delicious food for the road?"

"Are you sure?"the woman says as you leave, "watch out" she screams as a huge morkko walks into your sight.
It pushes you back inside

"Arora, Stop growling, let her leave!"says the old man, the woman says" she seems to like you"

The bear fallows you wherever you go, you cant get it to leave you

you have gained a new freind, Arora, she's yours and she ill continue to be in your story

Well, why dont you stay, we've got plenty of beds here, I wouldn't want to make you seep in the storm" Said the woman. "Of cousreyou can take some food though." "a village is to the north, our door faces south"

you go into the dark rainy forest and find a cleaing

Geno looks at the couple with sincerity and bows low, "I'm sorry but I should be going. I have a lot to do and a long road ahead of me. You're hospitality is a welcomed breath of fresh air in these times. The rain isn't to bad and will be good to stretch our legs"

Geno whistles sharply and Storm stands and stretches and walks over to Geno's side and nuzzles his hand. Geno strokes Storms head softly and turns back to the couple

" I wish you good tidings and thank you for the food and drink."

Geno takes the offered food and places it in his bag.

"We'll remember this kindness in the days to come, thank you again."

With one final wave Geno walks out on the porch and circles the house and begins heading north with Storm close at his side. Once he is out of sight of the cabin he quickly checks his bag and pulls the axe out and places it in his belt.

Geno mumbles to himself, "Can never be too careful..."

You walk for a long time before coming to a stop near a village, it looks like its desserted, yet theres food cooking. Theres a market where you cange just abot anything, but its run by ghosts

all you see are broken branches, you hear a rustling in a nearby bush
