Aries Clan warriors

Sun was shining brightly overhead in the clear sky with birds and insects chirping in the Forest. A young man with Brown eyes was roasting wildfowl with his electric energy. He plucked clean its feathers then burned it with lightning energy. After some time it was not very tasty but was manageable to eat in this wilderness.

"Guess this fills me up,!"

Zeph cleaned his hands and sprinted towards the intended direction. He was not accelerating on purpose but still was running too fast as for the average warrior without energy.

After few miles, he heard talking voices coming from ahead. He changed to jogging and went forward to locate the source of voices. He stood behind a large tree and saw a large group of young Warriors probably the same age as he was sitting in a circle discussing something.

"We should move ahead, going back at this point without a flag would be a huge insult to our clan." said a man with blue hair. He and one more girl had the same features and hair and were probably twins.

"Listen, Jayden, Kyle and I think to get that flag. Now, what is your idea, Jenny?" Asked the Man looking like the leader of the group. He had short hair and a pretty obvious scar on his cheek which somehow made him more handsome.

"I have already told you, Seamus, we should go back and collab with some other clans. Did you just forget whose territory is that where our flag is?" said another twin girl with blue hair.

"We all know it is that terrible Bear but what type of competition is this if we got scared of a dangerous beast. "replied the blue hair boy

"Yes, But this is that bear we are talking about. We are risking our lives and another clan will probably get dangerous quest so collab would be a good chance" insisted Jenny.

"Yes, and threw down Aries clan name in dust…."

"Shut up " yelled the Girl who was quiet from start. She looked at both twins and said.

"You twins can go back if you want to argue so bad. Let Seamus make decisions."

Seamus sighed and said, "okay we will go with the majority and proceed to quest ". Jayden cheered visibly while Jenny frowned.

" But we will only try once and after the first attempt will come back even if we didn't succeed .ok Jenny we will check for danger first "

Jenny nodded at Seamus. The team stood up and began to move towards the specific direction in the forest.

Zeph didn't reveal himself from the start as he wanted to have a rough grasp of the situation.

'It looked like some sort of competition is going on in the forest. Participants are young warriors of Clans of the city.

So, Boss left me here on some purpose? Am I supposed to take part as well?"

Zeph was confused about the intentions of Elven as he announced the decision at the last moment. How could he have probably known that it was only whimsical thought on Elven's part?

Zeph decided to follow these youngsters as he had at moment no idea how to approach the situation. So the best action was to observe more to make a decision.

He quietly climbed up the tree and began to follow their tracks left by them. He did not close the distance between them as he didn't want them to find someone following them. That would be suspicious on his part which will make them think that he was hostile to them.

About one mile ahead, the Aries clan group was proceeding onwards towards the Bear's territory. It was Buckhorn Bear which they were talking about. It was a very aggressive and fierce beast, with several deaths of warriors on his hand.

The Aries clan had the reputation of one of the strongest in the capital but all that glory was in ancient times.

Now clan has left to one of several upper-middle clans of the city.

Youngsters of the clan were proud to belong to such clan and we're trying their best to regain its lost glory. But it was quite clear, that more ancient clan is more enemies it has.

Similarly, many such enemy clans ensured that the quest flag of the Aries clan should fall in if not most than one of the most dangerous areas. Seniors of the clan were aware but powerless to change anything as the enemy is far superior to them in present times.

"We should make sure to pass this round to uphold the dignity of the clan" encouraged Seamus.

"Especially to make those Menjalar bastards shut up. They were taunting us to pray to not cross paths with them in the forest as they would make sure we will not leave it alive," said Jayden while gritting his teeth.

"Don't make yourself angry over such issues. They were deliberately making you boil up "suggested Kyle as she patted the back of Jayden.

Jenny walking furthest behind rolled her eyes seeing it. She said,

" Come on, Jayden is stupid for falling for their antics."

"You, don't make me…."Jayden stopped and turned behind angrily. He pointed fingers at Jenny and began to walk towards her.

"Why is always you twins finding an opportunity to fight "sighed kyle as she stepped between both of them. She pushed Jayden back on the path towards Seamus.

" We are on a quest, we should hurry on the way not spend time on infighting."

Seamus stopped and took out a piece of map from his pocket.

"Look we have reached a mapped area which is also the territory of that bear. Now we have to go here "

He pointed a dot marked on the map which indicated flags position.

"But we don't know the exact home of that bear so that we can avoid him. Anyone has heard where his lair is."

All of them shared his head over this question.

"We have only heard about his stories of nasty killing of previous warriors. No one exactly mentioned his lair only said it was in this part of the forest."

"So this is the problem here. I am about seventy percent sure that the flag position must be near his lair. Because those examiners would love to make warriors fight the beast instead of giving us a route of slipping off without getting into a fight.

The only lucky chance is Bear is not home otherwise Het ready to fight Aries.

He lifted his hand make it into a fist and said.

'Aries, always ahead'

All others copied the gesture and mumbled the same warcry which is persisting from ancient times of their clan.
