Bleeding...bleeding...
It was only thing Gustav thought of as he stumbled his way through the forest, tracking blood as he went. In one hand was a crossbow, the other clutching his sides as he unconsciously slammed himself against a tree, then slid down it into a sitting position.
He was breathing heavily, and had released his crossbow. The man had two arrows impaled to his sides/ Gustav was bleeding fast, his vision began to blur as he fought for consciousness.
With all his effort, he whistled, whistled for Ace to come back to him.
A minute of silence went by, with no reply.
So this is... how it's going to end...huh? Gustav though to himself, almost smirking to himself, but the pain only made him groan. 13 years...and I die like this...least...I...went...
Gustav's eyes were beginning to shut.
Fighting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, a large wolfhound was scrambling about the forests, nose to the ground as he desperately sniff the ground.
The two of them had taken a bounty, but it seemed they had bitten off a little more then they could chew.
They were ambushed, but not before Ace sniffed them out and then flushed them. It made the fight easier, but that didn't mean it wasen't hard. Gustav had taken an arrow to his side, but was able to keep fighting. It was only the secound arrow hit him did he stagger, and that made Ace mad.
The man who shot the arrow immidiantly knew his mistake and took off running, Ace in pursit. Ace chased the man, but it would seem he had lost the hound by traversing through a river.
It was then Ace realized that Gustav hadn't followed him, and was sniffing around trying to regain Gustav's scent. He knew Gustav was hurt, and need his attention now more then ever.
But where was he?
The hound took only moments to give a howl, hopping Gustav would hear and come to him, or give a reply.
No luck, seemed like Ace ran a little to deep into the forest.
Ace's nose quickly went back down to the dirt, sniffing at the forest to see if he could retrace his steps back to the battle scene.
