You come to the rescue

Without much consideration you drop your backpack and stick, and rushed.

"Scream came from there!" Layla shouted to you while keeping your pace.

You both ran as fast as it was possible for you. She was a little faster, but the trees made it a bit harder for her to navigate inside the forest.

About half a mile later you got to a clearing. The situation looked dire.

There were a bunch of wolves, about a dozen or so surrounding and jumping on a centaur girl. You could see she barely had any strength to fend them off with her glaive, and that there were wounds on the back of her body. The wolves were huge, each of them when standing on all fours being at least on the level of your chest. Their fangs looked like small daggers, and their claws were similar to hooks.

"Watch out, those are primees!" Layla shouted at you from somewhere. She did disappear from your line of sight some time ago.

You proceeded to charge at them without a thought. It wasn't a battle you could win, but if you could distract them for long enough, then maybe the centaur girl would be able to escape.

They wolves noticed you right away and two of them broke off from the pack to intercept. First one jumped without a warning, and somehow you managed to dodge it's fangs, while shoving your sword forward just to keep balance. That lucky stab caught the second wolf right in the eye, the injured animal was retreating now.

You still had a wolf behind you and about a ten in front, still busy with centaur girl. You got lucky with one of them, but as you felt the eyes of more and more of them on you, you felt like your luck ran away.

You couldn't be more wrong.

"Ayyyaaa!" Layla stormed out from the other side of the clearing, her leg-blades dancing in a beautiful and deadly rythm, slicing and hacking, while gracefully avoiding her enemies.

All of it seemed to give the injured centaur girl second breath as she raised her glaive once more and attacked with renewed ****.

You couldn't keep watching them fight. You had to roll on the ground to dodge the wolf that's been attacking you, but it did leave a scratch on your jacket. You knew you can't count on a stroke of luck again, and had to go on offense.

Next time the wolf jumped, you did so as well. By some miracle you avoided it's jaw while the claws ripped through whatever was left of your upper attire, and you striked, right in the side of beasts body. Once was enough.

Whatever was left of the wolf still managed to overpower you and pinned you down to the ground. It took you a while to get out from underneath it.

You looked at the battlefield. Centaur girl, now on her knees, was resting. Her golden hair were in a complete disorder, falling on her face and the rest of her body. The chestplate armor she was wearing was ripped in half esposing fully one of her breast, and the robe on her horse part of the body reminded you of one of those that Shamira - the centaur you met before - was dressed in.

Around her were corpses of dead wolves, mostly slashed in half. Few meters away you saw Layla having the time of her life creating coccoons and filling them with fallen beasts bodies.

"One coccoon here, and one here, and no poison spreads anywhere." She was singing this loudly while working.

You didn't want to question her right now or interrupt her work since it looked important. Instead, you approached the centaur girl.

She slowly raised while putting a lot of her weight on a glaive.

"Thank you, traveler. It's an honor to meet you, and it's an even bigger honor to be saved by you and your... companion." She said and smiled at you. She looked quite nice, even in her current state.
