I was running through the forest and Shelly was tagging along behind me . We encountered some wild wolves but those were no longer a thread to me . I decided to dispose of them . To my surprise, Shelly attacked one of the wolves and actually won . Shelly used its speed and the hard shell to ram into the wolf countless times and then bit it to death when it was incapacitated .
I then saw Shelly eating the wolf . I thought it will eat only fishes but I guess I was wrong . Apparently Shelly will eat any meat it likes whenever it's wolf or fish . 'In that case I don't really have to worry about fishes, as Shelly can eat other types of meat' I thought to myself and the said "Come on Shelly, we shall continue our travels" .
The road ahead was quite dangerous due to the animals living on the path we took . We meet loads of wolves and even some bears . Shelly would not go against bears because it couldn't inflict any substantial damage to them . I took care of the bears that we encountered while Shelly would take care of the wolves and boars .
Of course I wouldn't just leave Shelly to die and if the situation got dangerous, I would kill a wolf or two . Those situations were quite rare which shocked me . Shelly typically managed to kill couple of wolves by itself and didn't need my help . This turtle was very crafty and the agility it had was out of this world for a turtle .
We continued like this till late afternoon where I stopped and said "We shall make a shelter and stay the night here to rest . When we are rested, early the next morning we will move on" . Shelly nodded its head and tried to help me with building the shelter . It collected some branches that were thick and long enough for shelter and brought them to the place that would become our shelter .
I was already a bit experienced with shelter building . After a bit over 20 minutes, we had our shelter ready for the night . I didn't have to go anywhere to hunt for food as I collected a lot of meat during the journey here . It was already cooked partially, I just had to reheat it and cook it more properly .
When I cooked the meat and started to munch in on it, shelly came over and looked at my with what I could only describe as cute eyes . 'Who could guess that a turtle can actually show that type of expression?' I thought to myself . I asked Shelly "Do you want some?" and it nodded . I gave it a piece of cooked meat and the turtle ate it, then looked at me again . 'It seems that Shelly liked cooked meat as well' then another thought entered my mind 'Wait, didn't Shelly eat quite a lot today? Usually it would eat only something like one or two fishes but now it actually ate couple of wolves and is still begging for food' .

I was baffled by this change of character in Shelly and asked out loud "Shelly, why do you suddenly eat so much?" . I didn't expect answer because Shelly couldn't talk but it still tried to show me why . It jumped around a bit then ran around a bit and showed me an eating motion . A sudden thought entered my mind 'I think Shelly is trying to say that because it moves so much and at such speeds, it needs to eat a lot more . It would make sense because when it ate one or two fishes, it would go to sleep' . I asked Shelly "You mean to say that because you need to move a lot, you also need to eat a lot right?" to which it nodded its head .
I took one more piece of the meat and gave the rest to Shelly . I was not full yet and I could surely eat more than just this one piece but I decided to give it to Shelly . Besides, Shelly was the one that hunted most boars not me and that was the meat taken from boars .
I gave Shelly about 2-3 kilograms of food that was left over from today . I stocked so much because you never know if you need food and besides, my old habits dictated my hunger . I could eat a lot as well, although I didn't get any fatter . Shelly gobbled down the food in matter of minutes and laid down in the shelter next to me .
I must admit that I grew attached to this turtle . It always wanted to follow me, it was intelligent and it was also skillful . I started to treat it like part of the family and the turtle seemed to treat me in the same way . After the dinner, I laid there reading the Great Scriptures of Evil Medic and tried to relax a bit .

I needed to be rested for the next day as the pace we were going at was quite fast . Also because of the path I chose to take, we had to face a lot of animals such as wolves and bears . After a bit of reading I felt tired, I hid the book back into my shirt and noticed that Shelly is already asleep next to me . With that I went to sleep as well .
The night was very uneventful, probably because we killed a lot of animals in this area and there were simply none left or those left were scared away . I woke up Shelly and said "Alright, it is time to go . We will hunt on our way . This way you can refill your energy" . Shelly nodded its head and followed after me . We were about 2 days away from the Grasshill Village . My estimates were that I would travel 3 days to the Grasshill Village while Rond and the rest would travel about 4 days . I should be able to arrive before them .
Even though I encountered many wolves and other animals, I should still be ahead of them . I tried to do minimal breaks but because Shelly needed much more food due to the pace, I did stops and let it eat or hunt to replenish that energy . Shelly could run for about an hour at full speed but then it would need to consume enough meat to create a wolf . In other words, it would have to consume one wolf to replenish its energy .
I also ate a lot but due to my weird constitution, I could run at full speed for about 3 hours and only then would I be hungry . Of course I could do it for longer but then hunger would change into starvation and that would be a problem . I didn't want to weaken my body anymore, hunger was fine but starvation was already crossing the line and this would damage my body .

Even though we ran at full speed for an hour and then did about 20 minutes of break, we traveled a bit more than I expected before the nightfall . Late in the afternoon, I chose a place for our second shelter and started to build it . Shelly helped me again with twigs and what not, it seemed happy that it could help . A while later the shelter wa built and I cooked food again . This time because I knew Shelly would eat as well, I prepared about 20 kilograms of food . It was like some kind of grand barbeque . About 5 kilograms of that would be probably eaten by me while the rest would belong to Shelly . This guy was only about 40 centimetres big yet it could fit all that food no problem . I think it had similar constitution to mine .
I was much bigger and therefore 5 kilograms of meat is a lot but proportionally to my size, it could be eaten somehow . Yet, a turtle that is over 3 times smaller than me? Eating 3 times more than me was mind blowing . After the meal, I decided to read the book again and I already saw that Shelly went to sleep .
While I was reading I heard a very loud howl and then another, and another and so on . I thought 'This must be a whole pack of wolves' . I put away the book and got a bit agitated . The amount of howls I could hear was not small and one of the howls was very distinctive and different . I then heard more howls that were getting closer to our location . I waked up Shelly and said "We have trouble . It may be possible we will have to run through the night" . Shelly was a bit sleepy but still nodded its head .
The howls got closer and closer . I stood up and said "Follow me Shelly, we need to get out of this place" .
