Failure is no longer an option

  Down in the bottom of a ravine in the 'Dungeon of Lorain' a young adventurer laid there injured and bloodied from a fall.

  (Mc Pov)

  'Am I alive.' I thought to myself 'How? Is there any one else that made it?'

  I thought about shouting for a while until I heard something behind me.

  -snarl-

  The hairs on my neck raised up as I slowly turned around and saw a large Black dire wolf with blue streaks in its fur, blue flames coming out of its mouth and nostrils.

  -GROWL-

  It let out an ear piercing growl it LUNGED at me. I dodged his strike by a hair. I ran to the walls of the ravine trying to climb up the steep wall with just my dagger and a hundred pound bag on my back. I got pretty high on the wall but nowhere near the top.

  The wolf was still at the base of the wall snarling at me occasionally trying to jump up to get me.

  I had no idea what to do now, as it felt as if I was looking at death itself. I started feeling extremely heavy up here. I suddenly had an Idea. The bag I am carrying weighs a hundred pounds and is full of alchemical substances, that I know little about.

  Taking a leap of faith I take off the bag trying not to fall off my foot rest, I drop it below hoping for the best. For a few seconds there was eerie silence with only the wind making a noise.

  -thud-

  The bag landed on the ground next to the wolf. The wolf went over to the bag breathing out fire from its nose.

  -BOOM-

  The bag exploded causing a large fire ball and a noise so loud I went deaf for a few seconds.

  I wanted to see if the wolf was still breathing or not, so I went down to check.

  And sure enough the wolf is dead its body still intact but with the head a half melted sludge.

  I sat down relieved and with the adrenaline wearing off I sat down to chop and cook the wolf over the fire that was still burning from the explosion.

  When cutting up the beast I realized just how easy it was to cut through its fur and skin, which were unaffected by the fire. Meaning that I could have killed the beast without to much of a problem.

  'From here on out Failure is no longer an option.' I proclaimed to myself
