My Favorite Game Followed Me!

Anton complained a bit about the fact that his father forced him to show movies every night while they camped.

“Is it going to be very difficult for you to do that,” Ander asked concernedly.

“No, I was just being a jerk,” Anton then laughed.

Of course, he would follow his father’s command since based on everyone’s reaction, all the group members were in favor of it and as a matter of fact, Anna was truly excited and kept pestering Anton about what movies he would show.

Anton then gathered everyone’s attention.

“Since Anna kept bothering me, I’ll tell you all about the shows that I’m going to let you see every night. It’s called a television show which is comprised of a series of episodes lasting from 30 to 50 minutes each. Right now I’m still in the process of choosing which television show to show you so you will learn what it was tonight.”

Anton then summoned all the animals that were usually there during their journey which were the three Dire Wolves that were assigned to his father, Lucas, and Devon, the two Spirit Wolves that were assigned to Frederick and Colin, and the Ravens that were assigned to the ladies.

Devon still took it upon himself to circle their two carriages. His reasoning was he wanted to make sure that they were safe but everyone knew that Lucas’s son just enjoyed riding the Dire Wolf. Anton tried it and he could understand Devon’s feeling. The Dire Wolves were truly fast and they moved like a combination of wind and shadow.

Anton still preferred to fly though using his Telekinesis spell.

Soon Devon returned to one of his self-assigned scouting missions and informed them that a five-carriage caravan was being attacked by a group of monsters consisting of trolls, kobolds, and goblins in front of them.

They continued moving though until they saw the caravan and the monster’s battle. Anton summoned his Grizzly Bear and the rest of the Spirit Wolves. Lucas, Devon, and Anders stepped down from their Dire Wolves and then Anton commanded every druid-summoned animal including the Ravens to attack the monsters.

Anton and everyone in the group saw that the caravan guards were startled when a bunch of ferocious and powerful animals appeared and attacked the monster but the guards seemed professional enough that they adjusted quickly and accepted the unique allies that appeared.

The Grizzly Bear was so gigantic and savage that every time it slammed its huge paws, several monsters were decimated at once. The bear alone could have killed all of the monsters without any problem but with the other animals' presence, the battle only lasted for a few minutes then all the monsters were destroyed.

Once all the monsters were annihilated, the guards looked at the animals that helped them cautiously, not lowering their guard but Anton could see in their eyes that the caravan guards were aware that if the animals attacked them, just like the monsters, they wouldn’t last long.

Anton dispelled all the summons since he wanted to make sure that all the animals were clean before they returned to just being pets of the group. When he summoned them, the animals were spotlessly cleaned and he rolled his eyes at Devon who was examining his dire wolf in detail as if making sure that the summon was not injured.

The caravan guards who were startled at the animals’ disappearance finally noticed their two carriages. Anders and Lucas moved near the caravan and informed them that the animals were magic beasts summoned by their mage to kill the monsters that were blocking the road.

The caravan guards were still cautious but one of their men moved forward to thank them.

Anders just shrugged and returned to their two carriages and they moved forward leaving the five-carriage caravan behind. Anton didn’t know if there were any injured men there but it seemed like they were not welcome so they just moved on.

The rest of the day was uneventful. The summer was hot, the road was a bit dusty, the trees were green and the forest was vibrant with life. Devon was still circling their two carriages continuing his mission of making sure that no monsters approached them.

He still continued bringing back some game, fruits, wild vegetables, and berries back to his mother. Lucas was so amused that he joined his son in his adventures but Devon just complained that it would be better if he were alone so Lucas just remained near the carriages together with Anders but Anton could see that the men, including his father, truly enjoyed being on top of the Dire Wolves.

The women also enjoyed petting the Ravens even though in Anton’s opinion, the ravens were not particularly attractive birds but that was just his opinion. Based on a quick internet search, a lot of people disagreed with him.

Soon the sun was setting on the horizon making the leaves of the forest look like they were burning. Devon led them to a nice campground which was near the road. Everyone was busy setting up their camp for the night and they even set up an area where they could bathe.

The ladies busied themselves cooking and soon the smell of the food floated in the air. No one was worried that they would attract monsters or even wild animals since the three Dire Wolves, two Spirit Wolves, and five Ravens were enough to drive them away from their camp.

Anton, after bathing, set up the white blanket that they would use for the projector screen on the side of one of the carriages. Everyone was also taking turns bathing and once they were done, they would start eating while watching the show.

While setting up the screen, they heard the Dire Wolves howling, informing them that someone was coming. They saw that it was the five-carriage caravan that was attacked by monsters earlier.

Anton was surprised that the caravan traveled swiftly enough that they managed to join them in the campground.

A fat man followed by two guards cautiously approached them.

“Good evening! My name is Giovanni and I’m the merchant leader of this caravan. Can we rest here as well?” The fat man shouted.

“I’m Anders. We don’t own this camp so you can rest as well but please stay by your side since we do have animal guards and we don’t want any of your people to have an accident.” Anders told them coldly.

Anton guessed that his father was a bit pissed at the merchant caravan for not welcoming them earlier when they helped them defeat the monster but he thought that the caravan had reason to be cautious. They were capable of summoning powerful animals that were able to defeat monsters in minutes. Anyone would be scared of that.

The fat merchant just shrugged and the caravan began their preparation to rest.

Soon, everyone in Anton’s group was done bathing so they sat on the logs prepared as their seats facing the white blanket that Anton set up. The merchant and what Anton assumed was his family since he saw that there was a lady and a couple of children both boys were looking at them curiously since they were exhibiting some strange behavior of sitting while facing a large white blanket.

Anton then went in front and made an announcement.

“The show that we’re about to see is called Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. I will be showing two episodes tonight. Please don’t expect the quality to be the same as Lord of The Rings since television shows were created by fewer people with a lot smaller budget.”

To be honest, Anton hadn’t seen the show before. He just chose a television show that conform to a setting that wouldn’t shock the audience of this world too much using a quick search on the internet.
