Are you coming with me?

BOOOOOOOM!!!! The whole mining area and the ruins above them were shooting into the sky rocks the size of houses flew in every direction. This was the moment Loken waited for... he lifted the door and ran as fast as he could to the house of his mother. In the mids of all this chaos, no one noticed him. He was able to sneak out passing by a lot of Beastman that looked with shock, into the sky and watched huge rocks coming down in their direction. Some even did not attempt to flee, it was nearly impossible to dodge all these boulders coming from the sky.

A huge Beastman about eight meters tall with wings on his back with a width span of approximately fifteen meters was flying in the sky flapping its wings like crazy trying to gain more and more altitude... slowly but surely the debris that flew up into the sky caught up to him... the explosion did not simply lift some rocks. Those boulders turned to deadly projectiles... if hit by it could smash an Iron improved castle wall with no problem. The Beastman that was evading those deadly bullets in the sky was none other than the Beastman Chief Dreadclaw.

He knew that he could not escape any longer and turned around... slashing sounds and powerful explosions could be heard from the sky. He dodged and defended against the incoming rocks with all his might. He unleashed very powerful Body arts to destroy everything coming his way... but it was simply to much pressure and to many rocks coming his way so he was getting hit here and there... even though he was able to endure it for a short period of time he soon realized that he was overpowered he curled up his body and used his wings and thick and sturdy skin to cover his vital body areas.

On the ground... most of the Beastman and Humans that gathered around the mine tried to escape and dodge the falling rocks. Soon the Water and Ice Elementalists from the Knightorder regained their composure and unleashed their powers. The Water users gathered wave after wave to build hight walls of Water... the Ice users then froze the Water walls... in no time an enormous wall of Ice was gathered around the whole area so that everyone had a chance to escape. Here and there the walls broke and were smashed by huge rocks but were frozen shortly after again... they were very skilled in defending an area... that's what Elementalists are for after all.

In between all this turmoil, Loken used the opportunity to escape... no one noticed him they were busy with the incoming rocks... As he escaped he shortly turned around and observed the whole scene. "I have to be careful in the future this thing can destroy a whole town in no time... maybe even kill the Dragonlords." He thought to himself. "Maybe this is what killed Bahamut... this power is truly frightening." Then he turned around again and left the excavation site to go and get Ragnar.

When he arrived at the door of Megan's house the door opened on its own. "Is this your doing???" Shock filled her eyes as Megan was standing in the door holding Ragnar in her hands. He lifted his face and as their eyes met he grinned and walked inside... as he passed her by he said. "It seems that what I found in that mine is really powerful" Megan shouted "Powerful my ass... the entire town shook... what happened in the mining area?? I heard that it collapsed and a volcano is going to erupt." Loken shook his head and said. "Do not worry it is over... sooner or later someone might guess that this is related to me. I have to leave... are you coming with me??"

Megan was not prepared for this sudden question and was taken aback "Where do you want to go??" Loken took Ragnar from Megan and looked at him..."I will take him east, only the Stormclouddomain will provide us a good environment to raise him... originally I planned to raise him here but after confirming he might be the son of Bahamut we need to keep him safe from bad examples and experiences. He needs to have a neutral and unbiased view of Human, Dragons, and Beastman." Megan stared at him and was thinking deeply about what to do. She truly was not prepared for this. After some time thinking it through she said. "I will stay here and cover your escape" Lokens face saddened. "Thank you mother, take care of yourself" He walked over to her and kissed her on her cheek... Megan embraced them... she then took out a ring and said. "Here take this... some things to keep Ragnar warm and clean... something to eat for him and some clothes I made for him." Loken took the ring and thanked her again, then headed out without turning around. He knew that he would maybe never see her again so he did not turn around because that would probably make his mind waver.

Meanwhile the situation at the excavation site became quiet again... a lot of Beastman and Human bodies were laying around smashed to pieces... those that survived were surrounded by huge walls of Ice... multiple layers of Ice walls were surrounding a handful of people... those were the Elementalists of the Knightorder, some of the miners, the overseer and Sherrif Hound. They were looking extremely pale and out of breath. Soon reinforcements arrived and took care of the injuries the Beastman sustained and left the Human survivors as they were. Then the Sherrif got up and said "Gather some Rangers... we have to search for the Chief" Not long after Rangers arrived and began searching for Dreadclaw.

After some hours passed by the Rangers returned and said: "Sherrif, we can not find him... we need some Earth Elemenalists, the Chief might be below the rubble." Suddenly a place near them began trembling and a hole from underground opened up. A huge Beastman covered in wounds... blood flowing down everywhere came out of the hole. "Its the Chief quickly treat his injuries" Dreadclaw stopped walking and let his injuries be treated... he then turned to Sherrif Hound and said, "Hound you were the first to report the situation here tell me what happened."
