Impending Danger
The village is at rest for they believe their forces are enough to protect them from any danger outside.
"Sir Chris there are 50 individuals outside the safe proximity of the defending towers"
"How can we alert them of impending danger"
"Sir, we can shoot them a warning signal. So that they feel in trouble and come back"
"Can you identify the second strongest energy level second to mister Red ford" The owner's previous memory reminds him of why that Jack has that strength.
"I can Sir! They are a few distances from the wood storage where the assume Mister Red ford is"
"Okay warn them immediately we cannot forsake any possibilities except those bastards" Chris feels some kind of inherent danger coming and tries to minimize casualty while there is still a chance.
"Yes, sir!" The tower shoots an arrow just safely targeting the individual's perimeter not endangering anybody. It shoots an arrow every 15 seconds repeatedly
The individuals targeted by the arrow comes back with a weird report about the sudden appearance of an arrow shattering the dirt making them cry in fear.
The captain notices the unusual situation slam the bells to alert the entire village leaving only one in the forest on his own.
"Kling!3x (repeatedly)"
The captain shouts bringing attention to all people "Attention we are going to shut the gate within a few minutes!"
The crowds respond in worry and apprehension.
"Captain Bell what is the noise. I have a delivery that will come this afternoon" The merchant raises a victim card to get favor from the captain.
"What are you, idiot! I do not care about your situation when someone could die outside" looking down at the merchant's demand. He shows a cold face directing his mind to something more important.
Captain Bell Shouting to make the people calm and let them understand the odd circumstances.
"Hmmm, you are only a captain in this godforsaken place where the death of one is nothing to others," The sly merchant thought seeing the captain go on his way leaving him feeling disrespected.

In the forest, the scattered body of eric and blood painting the Dark panther is seen by jack as he sneaks convince that he is not noticed by the beasts.
"What the! Is that Eric how come something like this occurs!" He hides behind the bush having this in mind watching the beasts eating his friend bit by bit.
At this time, he hears the bell rings in attention bringing the panther to stop and hear the smashing of sound. It stops eating and return to the forest like a shadow unseen.
"The hell! I thought I will never go back alive" Jack crawling back away from this murder scene assuring himself everything is fine.
"When I go back. I will beat the hell out of Chris and bang some ladies in the brothel would flush this fear and misery" he walks slowly, dodging some twigs on the ways and any object that might leave a trail.
In this arduous journey. He never thought that he brought something far more dangerous than that event.
"Heeuu! Almost there I feel the goddess of luck licking my rod" Jack comes closer to the gate as a shadow goes inside him hiding from the prying eyes of men.
Seeing the captain atop the tower overseeing the whole situation.
"Captain is everyone from the woodwork came back!" Jack shouts, a sense of joy in his voice standing outside the open gate. While his hands spasm involuntarily and the face smeared by too much sweat. Eyes shaking like something horrible happen.
"Yeah! Old man Red ford is already inside and his workers" the captain perceiving the odd behavior in this person.
"What happened Jack! Is there something you should be telling me" Baiting a question as he senses a foreshadowing?
"Eric died by the monster. I just got out alive" scratching the side of the head.
"So where is it?"
"just a walking distance from the wood storage" Jack feeling anxious by this questioning.
"So, can you let me go inside. I want to rest for now"
"Wait a moment jack. We need to check you for any possible infected wounds. We do not want diseases spreading in here" the captain desire for him to wait for a while, perceiving something is wrong about the whole scheme.
-
"Sir the said person whom you do not want to be the target came back with a monster in his being"
Alex confirming something perplexing to him. He decides whether to shoot Jack alive or wait for the right moment.
"Sir the pulsation of both the mutant and the person is in the same frequency. The beast might be consuming his vitality as of this moment"
Understanding that there is no saving Jack now he can kill him with impunity.
"Ok Shot him when the Beast moves! Do not spare even that person"
"Yes! Sir"
-
Jack stays still waiting for the captain's order and the beast that hides in his shadow also finding the opportunity to go inside the village.
The Captain return with a herbal specialist in tow "Jack this is Mrs. Elise a herb specialist she will conduct a basic diagnosis of a possible disease" Captain Bell directing his hands to another person.
"Ok sir, but please make it quick I feel tired for all these things happening at the same time" Jack relieve at some point
"All right Mrs. Elise please Diagnose Sir Jack"
"Yes, Captain" Mrs. Elsie proceeds in front of Jack to find out some source of infection in his body.
"Sir. Jack, please take out your shirt for Physical examination" Mrs. Elise says without feeling embarrassed.
Jack disturb by this woman's calm attitude towards him "Ahh Ok!'
Removing his shirt without delay he hangs it on his shoulder.
The elimination process begins and the Herbal specialists do basic medical Diagnoses on Jack while the shadow in him bare its teeth on the lady.
"The shoulders are good some scratches occur but can be cured with some salve" Checking every nook and cranny of his body by touching it or sensing the consistency of the skin through pinching.
When the time to check-up his leg. She saw an infestation of the wound "Where did you get this wound?"
"What kind of shit is this! I probably got this on the lake in the forest when we decide to bath on it"
"I see, you better have a numbing agent to take out this blood-sucking leeches before it becomes worst"
"Ok, can you heal it?"
"Yes, but it may take a week for it to close up" Mrs. Elise stands up after the diagnoses and go in the direction of Captain Bell. Her back facing Jack.
Jack looking at the lady and notice a swirling shadow separating from his own going towards Mrs. Elise.
"What necromancy is this!" Stump by this event and not even minding to warn the person in danger in time.
"Mrs. Runnnn!" He shouts and hands reaching as desiring of some force to happen.
The said lady looks back stunned and scared by the suddenness of things. Her eyes staring back at the beast fangs only a breath away from certain death.
Captain Bell notices it too late and draws his sword halfway. The Beast already has a glint of Victory on its eyes. A slow death but it is only just a few seconds before it ended one's life.
"Woooshhhhhh" a sound breaking the barrier of air resistance slam on the beast.
Before everyone's eye, the beast impaled unknown to its flailing life and an arrow of a ballista destroying its body completely. No one knew where it came from and only the feeling of worry overwhelms their thoughts as it flushes out because something saves her in the nick of time.
"Boom! The speed makes the earth crack and the wind blowing the lady out of danger, and into Captain Bell's arm defending both of them from the wave of air.
The Captain thinks it is the last but a second sound happens again. They can also brace themselves and close their eyes from the dust filling the gate. The crowd inside the village could sense danger and hides in their own houses.
"Boommmm!" The body of the man disheveled and can be seen scattering of unknown sizes of flesh, flying off.
Silence pervades the air as they calm their mind and anxiety-riddled their faces waiting for something but for a few minutes nothing occurs.
(A\N: It's like a cockroach lying on your bed and when it hides. You just wait, feeling angsty about that, you cannot sleep at night still waiting. what a day.)
