Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: A New Beginning

Darkness… Eternal and all encompassing…

I awoke to find nothing but eternal darkness…. Again... But before I could even sign in resignation a blinding light envelopes my consciousness. Immediately after I begin to regain my senses. First is hearing, I can hear what sounds like a little girl speaking complete gibberish… [Crap.. Am I really going to have to figure out an entire language now?] I think to myself. Soon after those thoughts I begin to feel again, and soon after come my other senses. After a minute or two of just enjoying the feeling of being alive again I attempt to open my eyes…

They open of course and in front of me is a cute little 8 year old girl in ragged clothing with an ecstatic look on her face. She is almost 4ft tall from what I can gather; with pitch black hair around shoulder length and blood red iris that look surprisingly charming.

She begins joyously yelling something with a giant grin plastered on her face before running to what I assume is a cabin in the distance…

But thankfully, with her gone now I can assess my situation. OK… Lets get this over with, time for some answers, I close my eyes. Legs? Check. Arms? Che.. wait.. They feel like legs… I have four legs?!?

"Jarvis!" I yell in my mind

"Jarvis wake the f**k up!" I berate him again

A pained voice sounds out in my mind, "mmmm, quiet please.. I'm barely holding myself together after that mess. Give me a couple minutes please, and no talking or things might get dire"

A few minutes later I attempt to whisper in my mind [if thats possible], "All good? I have like… alot of questions right now and need you."

"Still loud but im fine now, I just finished piecing my soul together again. Thank god I decided to do this with you and not just soloing the reincarnation. If, id been impatient and did I most likely would be dead by now. I was only able to piece myself together because your soul holds mine and thus the pieces couldn't scatter"

Alright, can you give me a status update regarding pretty much everything right now? Im pretty sure im not a human, that little girl seemed very large in comparison to myself and I dont seem to have hands.."

"Hahaha! You probably dont like that, but atleast now I dont have to witness you useing them to please yourself like I unfortunately saw in your memories"

"What the hell man! Thats a natural thing!" I offendedly object

"Yeah yeah.. Ok, heres the results cause your going to need to get up to speed asap incase we wander into danger. Things are not optimal.."

"Optimal huh.. I have some differing opinions there…" I mentaly sigh.. So I guess Im a baby wolf? Huh.. Not what I expected when reincarnating. I was guessing I'd get thrown into a human body or atleast a humanoid.

I kinda hoped I'd be a dragon as well.. That would have been dope. But I'm a baby wolf… [Can I even survive here? Where is the pack? How can I protect myself? ect..] a dozen questions flash through my mind.

"Hey hey hey, calm down, your - err - our? heart rate is really getting up there. Lets take this a step at a time. Can you open your eyes and take a look around. I recall you seeing a little girl, what else is there?"

Realizing I've had my eyes closed this entire time, I tentatively open my eyes to see the cabin in the distance like before, I slowly sit up and glance around to take in more of the surroundings…

I appear to be lying in a shallow wooden crate filled with straw. Golden wheat or atleast what I assume is wheat is everywhere for as far as my little baby wolf eyes can see. Behind me is a forest with dense brush and greenery near its periphery. Almost no sight of civilization at all.. [I must be in the outskirts of the boonies at this rate] I mumble in my mind.

At this moment Jarvis speaks up, "Atleast we confirmed our safety, and it could have been worse I suppose"
