The Raven Shield soldiers prepare to head back to the capital, gathering up their gear and mounting the horses, they set off at a slow pace. The three wolf siblings are hitching a ride in one of the wagons the soldiers brought, that had previously been used to carry supplies for their journey to Kalda.
The wagon has no seats and is a bumpy ride. The wolves are having trouble getting comfortable for the long journey ahead. "How long did they say it could take to get there." Skoll asks.
Luna responds to him while trying to get into a comfortable position. "They said it would take a week."
"An entire week of dealing with this bullshit." Fenrir says. 'I would have liked to concentrate on training my magical aura while on this trip, but I guess that's not happening, at least not while riding in this.'
Fenrir turns his head and looks at Skoll. "You like to exercise don't you? What do you say, do you want to walk instead?"
"I
A scream is heard echoing throughout the camp, everyone is quick to stop what they are doing to find out what's happening. Mortas is the first one to discover the grim scene, a soldier torn apart from the torso lying in a pile of blood. The face of the fallen soldiers has a terrified look, almost like he knew he was going to be killed. Looking up from the soldier into the woods, Mortas sees a pair of red eyes staring back at him."Everyone, prepare for a fight, we're are under attack." Mortas yells.A stream of orange flames approaching Mortas catches him off guard, but fortunately, he puts up a magical barrier in front of him just in time. The barrier shining blue even in the dark of night as the flames pass around it barely avoiding the soldiers standing behind him. The fire stops and a large black figure takes to the sky and Mortas finally figures out what it is. "Just as I feared, its a wyvern. Everyone take cover, Elenor back me up, Gabriel make sure t
Mortas continues his battle with the wyvern. Being an elemental type mage gives him the advantage in a fight against an opponent that can only use fire. However, since the wyvern is flying in the air Mortas has to resort to long-ranged attacks. By combining wind and water he creates ice crystals which he molds into spears and shoots them at the enemy. This has caused him to lose a good portion of his energy and he has not been able to hit it yet. 'When fighting a monster that has an advantage in the air the best option is to make it a close-range fight. That is easier said than done. There must be a way to get it to land.'"Elenor, we need to make this a close-ranged battle. It won't land by itself, we need to coordinate our attacks and focus on hitting its wings so it can't fly.""Alright, just tell me what I need to do."'Elenor is a nature mage. Which means she focuses on healing spells and mid-ranged attacks. She can manipulate the surrounding tr
"What was that wolf thinking coming in here alone? The orc says. "That brat got himself killed for nothing, that's what he gets for trying to take on more than he could handle. Now then where were we?"Just then Fenrir's body starts to move. Dark aura starts to surround him as he stands up. 'It's been far too long since I've been in the human realm.'Luna looks concerned by Fenrir's new form. "Fenrir, is that you?""No, you stupid bitch, Fenrir is no more. My name is Zel'guul, but you can call me Zel for short. That kid was stupid enough to let me use his body as I please, and now I can wreak havoc upon this world once more."The orc steps up to fight Zel. "Just because you got a little power-up doesn't mean you can defeat me and my minions. Goblins attack him.""Don't get too cocky just because you think you're some big shot around here. I've fought much stronger opponents than you, even though this body can't handle my full power yet, it's
Mortas waits for Zel to attack again keeping calm and alert. Then he sees it, the slightest moment from Zel and Mortas knows that he is coming. Since Zel Is too fast for Mortas to react, he has to rely on his battle experience to foresee his attacks by observing the slightest movements from Zel's muscles. 'I have to use the rest of my energy to make the shield as strong as possible to withstand this attack. It will be up to Fenrir after this to take control and end this.'As Zel closes in he uses his momentum to jump while digging his claws into the shield slowing him down and lands behind Mortas. After realizing what just happened Mortas quickly turns around to use his remaining magic to attack Zel. However, it's too late, Zel thrusts his arm through Mortas's chest just as Mortas puts his hand up to attack."If you attacked me when you had the chance to might have won the fight." Zel says to him as Mortas starts coughing up blood. "This fight was decided t
Fenrir finds himself lying on the ground not being able to move. The wound he gave himself from slitting his throat has completed healed thanks to Zel trying to save himself. 'I dont sense Zel anymore, he must be gone for good. My body feels like it's on fire from all that magical energy. I need to force my body to move, I can't stay out in the open helpless like this.'Fenrir is eventually able to force himself to stand up even though his body is still screaming in pain. He looks over at the lifeless bodies of Luna and Mortas. 'I'll have to wait to give them a proper burial, right now I need to find shelter and recover my injuries.' As he heads off to seek shelter in the Dark Territory something draws him back to Mortas. He walks over to his corpse. 'I feel an urge to start eating his flesh like some wild animal would do. But this isn't right, I can't do something like that. Well, maybe I can. I am technically a wolf, and last time I checked wolves dont get sick from e
A week and a half later with Elenor leading the way with the remaining group of soldiers, they have successfully managed to escort Skoll safely to the capital of Fura known as Hitara.Approaching the gates to the capital with walls surrounding it four times the height of a person, Skoll is amazed at the sheer size of it all. Since he has spent his whole life in the woods this is something that seemed foreign to him. Seeing Elenor approach the soldiers guarding the entrance to the gate motion to others at the top of the wall to open it. The group makes their way into the city where a small crowd of people have gathered, most of the crowd contains the family members of the soldiers that had gone off in the journey.As they make their way past the crowd, some of the family members notice that the ones they waited for are not with the returning group. Cries and sobs can be heard over the sound of the horse's hooves clicking on the stone roads.The group makes
Fenrir continues his training with Delmar. Day and night Fenrir focuses on strengthening his magical aura and his control over it. Delmar noticed that Fenrir has trouble using other elements besides fire. "Even though you are technically an elemental type, your progress with using other elements are downright awful. So I suggest you continue trying to master fire first." Delmar says."I've never heard of mages using magic to enhance physical abilities before. Why am I different from the rest?""Those mages are called enhancers. Just like magical weapons that can enhance the output of magical energy, enhancers can greatly increase all physical attributes. If you get good enough you can even enhance a weapon's durability. This type of magic is rare indeed and takes a toll on the user's body. Therefore on top of your normal training, you need to get your body into peak condition.""How does enhancement magic work? Does it multiply my attributes? W
The Dark Territory is filled with many unknown ancient ruins that magical beasts have made their home. Many of these structures the humans have not known about before the portals made this land into a hostile place. The monsters here could sense the magic coming from these ruins and many of them have made these their home.Fenrir follows Delmar deeper into the Dark Territory and wonders what exactly he is looking for. "Is there something in particular that you are trying to find?""As my apprentice, you will be needing to get your hands on a magical artifact, one that is suited for your fighting style.""How long did it take you to find yours?""Far too long but when I found it, it was the most exciting experience of my life." After Delmar says this he looks a little annoyed by all this conversation. Delmar has no problem explaining how things work, but other than that he just wants to enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts."Don't yo
