This...Is...Wielding! Part II
"You will pay for this!" Jake screamed at Mane. The very fact that he didn't address Mane as 'brother', but used a pronoun was more than enough to convey how furious he was. His fury was well within reason, for his other half lay on the ground unconscious. They might be superficial wounds, but what did he care? He dashed towards Mane at incredible speed, closing the distance of approximately 40 metres within a couple of seconds.
Mane's expression changed at the sight of his colleague- rather, his enemy for today- rushing at him. Without any inner energy, there was no way he would be able to avoid this attack. It was similar to Frederick's surprise attack at the beginning of the spar. Since he wasn't expecting it, he couldn't avoid it. All he could do was brace himself for the impact, by putting up his guard with his arms crossed to form an x. His arms shone dully with a brown hue, evidence of the fact that most of the earth element armour was concentrated on his

A wall of fire. A magical sight. A miracle in itself. An unbelievable scene it was. Flames of gold slowly merged together, a distinct shape beginning to form. Abe and Jake could only watch in amazement. They couldn't get any closer to the flames. The sheer amount of heat it gave off was beyond anything they had ever felt. Even from this distance, the fist of earth that coated Abe's hands was melting away, like a piece of iron in a hot furnace."Incredible. My flames are nowhere near as hot as this" Jake said whilst swiping off the sweat that had started to form on his forehead."IGNIS DRACO!!!" Mane's voice was heard once more, the authority in them conveyed to the flames. The shape of the fire was finally made clear."Is that a…?" Jake had barely posed the question when Abelard replied. "It is. Only one creature of legend fits this description."The figure forged by the flames was fire itself
Hunters: The Prequel I am Basileus Part II
*BOOM**BOOOM**BOOOOM*The sound of the fire dragon crashing into the walls was deafening. The fire dragon spear had already destroyed four walls, but it wasn't without cost. The flames were dimmer than before. The previously unbearable heat wave was now much more tolerable. Abe and Jake noticed the change. A change that was very much to their delight. Mane noticed it as well. After all, they were his flames. The walls had successfully taken off half of the heat the dragon carried. Though the next few walls were not as tall as their destroyed compatriots, their shorter height made them sturdier. They had lower centres of gravity, hence were more difficult to destroy. Abe knew this. And so did Mane.The new information had Abe reassured of his victory. He was certain that the walls would be destroyed. But their destruction would mark a successful completion of their goal- cancelling out the flames. Once the flames were dealt wi
Hunters: The Prequel Mane's Glow
*BOOM*The flame dragon- or at least what was left of it- crashed into the seventh and last wall. Despite looking dispirited and far dimmer than it was before, the majesty of a dragon was exuded from its being. Although summoned from the flames, the fire dragon gave off the aura of a real dragon. The seventh wall faced the same fate as its brothers before- destruction. Yet it had served its true purpose, for the flaming dragon was almost extinguished, its light diming very quickly. As the flames slowly died out, Abe could finally make out Mane's figure from across the field.The blue haired boy looked visibly exhausted, even more than he was. His face and clothes were drenched in sweat. Though it was hard to say what caused the sweat. After all, he had literally been playing with fire all along. Across the grounds Mane smiled at him. It was a smile filled with pride. Abe noticed that Mane's pride was not for himself, but for his friends. The
Hunters: The Prequel Son Of Lightning
The bolt of lightning that struck Mane was powerful, the shockwave from its descent knocking Abelard and Jake onto the ground. They could hardly believe that the target of that lightning bolt looked so energetic and well. There were no signs of injury on Mane. The only evidence of the difficult battle were his dirty clothes and dusty face. The former exhaustion was nowhere to be seen."How is that even possible?" Jake asked with disbelief as he struggled to get back onto his feet. He fell the first few times, finally managing to pick himself up on his fourth try. Scepticism filled his voice as he sought to understand what was happening before him. Lightning was a destructive element. It was one of the rarer forces of nature. As an uncontrolled beast, it gave life and took it back on its whims. Fire was birthed from this great element, and although fire in itself was destructive, it paled in comparison to its parent.What they had just witnes
Hunters: The Prequel Moody Abe
*crackle* *crackle*"Abe? Abe? Abe!" Jake roughly shook Abe to grab his attention."Yeah…yeah. Sorry about that" Abe smiled embarrassingly when he finally came to."You were reliving it, weren't you" Jake said, the confidence in his tone showing that he didn't require an answer. He already knew the answer. Abe nodded at his words. He looked to John and the two newbies. "Lucky bastards" he mumbled softly under his breath."What was that?" John asked, puzzled by Abe's unnatural loss of concentration."Nothing. I was asking if you needed a fresh one." Abe lied without batting an eye, pointing at the block of ice John was applying to his shoulder. The fall from the explosion in the earlier duel had caused a bit of swelling. Mane had frozen some water into ice blocks and wrapped them in towels for any injuries. Luckily, there were no severe injuries."No thanks. This one
Hunters: The Prequel The Glow That Remained Hidden
"Got to hand it to you kid. You actually pulled it off" Mane walked lazily towards the door before him. He pulled a bunch of keys from his pocket and inserted one of them into the keyhole. A clicking sound was heard when he twisted the key, indicating that he had pushed in the right one. He pushed the door open to reveal what lay within- the healing springs. There were at least eighteen of them. Even royalty would marvel at the lavishness of the one to whom this belonged."Not necessarily. If I didn't use my glow, I wouldn't have succeeded." Mane replied to the 6th's earlier comment. He bent down to assess one of the pools. The pool was as clear as the others in the room, and seemed to give off a green hue."They have been restocked." Mane stated. "I wonder, when did he get this done?" It was a question to no one in particular. As for who the mystery person was, only Mane knew."His talent in alchemy is very high. To thi
Hunters: The Prequel Lavishness
"Man, you folks do know how to enjoy life. What a luxury" Inside the treatment room, the official and unofficial members of the Silver wolves team were each soaking in separate healing springs."I know right. Emperors would be spitting out their tea if they knew we were using healing pools for such minor injuries" Frederick chimed in. He had a relaxed and refreshed smile on his face as he soaked in the pool.Although their injuries could not really be referred to as light, no one refuted Frederick's words. On Zandor, no one- absolutely no one- would use healing springs for this purpose. Although prestigious royal families could afford the pools with almost no difficulty, enlisting an alchemist was the main challenge. They were rare and scarce. And those who were enlisted by royal families would feel insulted if asked to build a healing spring for a few bruises and fractures. Royal families wouldn't risk losing the service of an alchemist jus
Hunters: The Prequel Answering A Few Questions
Why don't you start by telling us how it is you are a spiritualist?" Abe asked."Simple. I meet the criteria. Next question." Mane answered nonchalantly."Could you be clearer with your explanations?" Abe's brows twitched in annoyance"Ok. To be a spiritualist one must have a high level of intelligence and a soul based bloodline." Mane stated."That is the norm" Selina interjected. "Don't tell me that it is false?" she continued. Over the past few days, she had learned that most of what she believed in were untrue. She wouldn't be surprised if Mane said the requirements for becoming a spiritualist were not entirely so. Maybe there was a loophole that many were unaware of."Oh they are very true. In fact, the only other way to become a spiritualist is through a bloodline transference technique performed by a spiritualist. But it is a high risk technique. Even high level Spirituali
