a light in a dark place

Back on the front lines we find Hound sitting on the wall or what remained of a watch tower he had his legs crossed and his eyes closed his hair moved do to the wind I side seeing all that my soul clone had done shaking my head at his stupidity I made sure to send a video to Fjord of the two radiant wings members talking about how they were the one who gave the old hound the plague but I also sent it to Gem, Ashes and Kiara y did I send it to just them was simple this news would send Fjord into a rage and that's something we don't need right now so I sent it to the three wives that I know personally but that's when I heard a exploration and my spider watch shook as a beeping noise came from it my eyes shot open and my draconic eyes scanned over the city I noticed the cloud from the explosion came from the same direction that I sent Queen and Jarry I disappeared from where I was sitting in a flash of green lightning I appeared standing right over this cloud I looked throw this cloud and what I seen made a snarl go across my face Queen and Jarry was shielding a group of 56 people this counted both parent and child Jarry was standing at the front of this group his Glave planted into the ground and forming out from him was a fire dome Queen was next to him she had a hand on his shoulder and I noticed this fire dome had thin wind dome right under it which made the fire more fearsome and powerful across from them was a group of the holy nights being lead by Vegas who was using a crutch sense the prince didn't want to give him any healing pills and it would seem none of the healing pills he had was able to get rid of my death law that my bullets was made from plus the only healers in this army was me, Queen and Brick and we definitely wouldn't help him there was at least a 30 knights that blocked the twos path outside of a huge mansion that had a peacock emblazoned on it but I noticed a girl that was hidding behind Queen this girl was no older then 8 she had bright green and blue hair she had on very colorful clothes that had a peacock emblazoned on her back and resting on her shoulder was a baby peacock actually all the children I seen had a baby peacock on there shoulders but the peacock this girl had I seen more spiritual energy coming off from it the other thing I noticed almost all of the children was girls hell there was only 3 boys out of the 28 children which I thought was odd but it wasnt that strange since the scarlet peacock sect was primarily a female sect this little girl had bright blue eyes like her mother and her skin was light shade of tan she was hugging the back of Queens leg shaking out of fear and I heard her say Big sis what will we so but Queen simply pat her head smiling down at her saying don't worry the rest of Jarry's and my squad will be here soon so will are boss so don't be scared the little girl nodded but that's when I heard Vegas scream y don't you just die already you damn savages no one will miss you or those kids but I don't know what it was but something about his words made me snap as my killing intent exploded out from me this blow away the dust cloud as I slowly floated down in-between these two groups my draconic eyes was glowing with a rageful fire as I snared glaring at Vegas gralling what did you just say Vegas froze in fear so did the rest of the knights they all was frozen in fear but Vegas recovered fast as he screamed you heard me no one will miss them no one will love them how dare your people protect these but I cut him off as I bellowed no how dare you Vegas how dare you not only attack those that I have sworn to take in as my own but also attack those in my squad but most importantly how dare you try and kill the little girl that I have sworn to the heavens and my ancestors that I would raise and protect her like she was my very own daughter how fucking dare you I have given you holy knight plenty of strikes but I am done being nice and I took one step forward lightning sparking off me but this one step covered the hole distance between Vegas and me and in one swift movement Lorek appeared in my hand and I swung her down Vegas couldn't even react or do anything all he could do was stare at me with fear but a gold shield appeared around him as the prince landed next to him as he yelled Hound I command you to stand down I snorted snarling at him saying as I told you before you have no command over me I warned you both if you attacked my people all that would await you is death I have you 3 warnings but it would seem I have been to nice sense you both still don't take my warnings seriously so I am done playing nice with that Lorek burst with ice cold fog this shattered the barrier Vegas tried to step back but he tripped and fell onto his back I jumped onto him and brought Lorek down it shopping deeply into his skull all that was on his face was underwhelming fear but I wasn't done I raised Lorek up again and shopped down cleanly cutting his head off I picked it up and throw it at the prince feet gralling this is what you get for not keeping a farm hand on your people from here on out there will be no more warnings or mister nice guy the Prince had anger and fear in his eyes as he looked down at Vegas severed head with that I stood up and looked around at the 30 holy knights I side turning around and walking towards Jarry and Queen but standing next to them was the rest of my squad Zarock appeared next to me asking and in a cold ruthless voice I spoke Grave slotter the rest I gralled yes sir! And like that all my squad disappeared from where they was and the sounds of screams started behind me The only grave that didn't move was Queen she was patting the head of a little girl who was no longer behind her she was standing next to her staring at me with wide eyes I smiled at Queen asking is this her she nodded yes sir I nodded saying go she nodded and disappeared I crouched down in front of this little girl asking are you Mercury she nodded yes sir but who are you I smiled you can call me Hound I gave my word to your bother that I would take care of you is that fine with you little Mercury she looked behind me at what was happening and then looked back to me saying mother is dead ant she I side nodding yes your mother was a fearsome woman and a damn good worrier she is a woman I respect I told her I would make you into a finer worrier then she was Mercury nodded smiling then I guess I am in your care Hound I laughed extending a hand out to her and she took it I picked her up and put her on my left shoulder she giggled saying wow it looks to different from up here I nodded indeed don't worry I am sure when you get older you will see the world differently as well she giggled ok big brother I smiled at hearing those words I pat her head chuckling Quin moved onto my other shoulder and looked at the little girl with interest oooo is this one of big brothers beasts I nodded indeed little Mercury this is Quin one of my beasts Mercury stared at Quin with interest Quin leaned her face closer to her before sticking her tongue out Mercury giggled feeling Quins tongue tickle her nose o stop it pretty Quin stop hahaha but Quin simply smiled kept on doing it as I heard her voice in my headmaster I like this child can I give her my blessing but I shook my head saying no wait till she is older at her current strength your mark would kill her Quin nodded understood master and with that Quin moved onto the little girls shoulder and looked at the baby peacock that was on her other shoulder the peacock stared at Quin with huge fearful eyes but Quin simply smiled patting its head with her tail this didn't seem to calm the peacock down though hell I think it spooked it more but that's when I sensed a familiar presents flying towards us I smiled up to see Rex dive down and land in front of me her landing made a intense wind into us but I waved my hand as the wind blows around me and this group of people who yelped in fear Rex lowered her head to me saying master I have returned I nodded patting her head saying thank you Rex she smiled saying its my pleasure sir but who is this little one and she looked to Mercury who was stared wide-eyed up at Rex I smiled saying Rex this is Mercury I gave my word to her mother that I would race her And little Murcury this is Rex another one of my beasts say hi Murcury shock quickly faded as she happily said hello there Rex you are so big and your scales are beautiful Rex chuckled happily and brought her have closer to the little girl so she could touch her Murcury giggled happily and soon Rex was moving her head up and down as Murcury held onto her face laughing saying again, again I smiled at this sight but this is when another child ran up and held up its arms saying miss pretty wyvern can I have a turn and soon there was multiple children holding onto Rexs face as she picked them up all the kids giggled and laughed happily and this brought smiles to the parents faces it was such a warm sight in such a dark place this is a war zone after all yet there were children laughing and playing with no worries I made sure to record this and send this to everyone who had a spider with a few words at the top it read 

even in the darkest times a child can laugh this is y we fight to protect them to protect our future we become monsters so are children can smile we kill for them so they don't have to grow up like us sadly these children will one day lose that shine in there eyes cuz the only thing you can rely on is your own strength to get what you want cuz if these children want peace these must prepare for war we are the lion barbarians we have seen what this world does to children like them we fight the darkness and slowly we become one with it I show you this all today to show you that there is light still in this world and to ask what are you fighting for don't answer me just punder this question and when you find what that thing is fight like hell to keep it that is all have a nice day yall 

Thats when I heard Quin say master its so good to see this side of you everyone might think your evil but only they knew the true you but I shook my head saying no Quin it wouldn't change a thing there will always be those who want more I ant the exception Quin side you are to hard on your self master a normal person would not have taken these people in a normal person would have just let those knights kill them sense it didn't effect you hell you could have still saved the girl but killed the rest of them but no you took them in even at the cost of what could be your life I shrugged I am also the man who just killed that little girls mother and I am sure I have killed many of these peoples spouses no normal man would go against the holy knights or the prince but I ant no normal man I do things for a reason and it isn't out of the kindness of my heart but this us when one of the children grip on Rex slipped and he dropped screaming that kids mother rushed forward screaming in fear but I simply flicked my finger and the kid stopped in mid air before gently being dropped onto the floor the mother scooped the boy up sobbing are you alright my baby but the child giggled yes mom that was fun again again but the mother shook her head saying no its to dangerous but the child chuckled saying but momma with that man over there nothing like that would happen and he pointed to me the woman looked to me with huge fearful eyes as she bowed to me saying sorry master my son doesn't mean any harm but I laughed walking forward and patting the kid on the top of the head the kid was pretty big for his age his hair was bright red and gold and his eyes was a light green color he laughed happily as I ruffled his hair saying no need miss I gave my word to your sect master that I would protect you all and bring you into my own and that is what I will do and none of that master business you can just call me Hound the woman bowed again saying thank you sir Hound I nodded and picked up the boy saying whats your name child Arthur sir Arthur Alanko I nodded saying well little Arthur you must be more careful not to worry your mother so much she loves you very much and only wants best for you got it he nodded but when he did so I cot a small flimps of something strange I seen the area right below his eyes shake like something was trying very hard not to open that's when I noticed how light this child was o a none human I thought by the looks of it the child has fay blood in him and if I had to guess what sort of Fay it would be some sort of a Arachnid by the looks of the second eyes but no matter I could care less Rex lowered her head to reserve the child again this time Arthur held on tightly and like that Rex lifted her head up again and he started to laugh again I glanced over to the boy's mother she was nervously looking at me my draconic eyes scanned her over but she was fully angel the boy he is unique I assume he gets it from his father her head shot towards me as her eyes bulged how she asked in a low voice I chuckled saying have no fear lass I could care less if he isn't fully human hell he isn't even a human so fully angel I guess haha I should note that my sect doesn't care your race you anything my sect master is a mighty volcanic lion and as you have seen even my own squad doesn't have any humans I am the only one and even I will be changing soon so have no fear the boy is welcome and that goes for the rest of your children I yelled I don't know who was the first to run to my feet and bowing but soon I had 28 parents bowing at my feet yelling thank your sir hound I could tell most of them was crying but I waved my hands saying none of this bowing shit I should I care if they are different they are children for heavens sakes but I warn you all in my sect everyone must learn how to fight ones they come of age there is no exceptions this will go for you all and them as well the all surprising didn't get angry and they yelled again thank you sir Hound I waved my hand yelling now Rex will take you all to my sect this is no place for children to me go know they all nodded and Red lowered the children down into there parents hands Rex them layed down and extended her wing down so people could walk up it isn't if climbing I looked to Murkury who stared at me with fear but I pat her head saying don't worry little one you will see me soon this I promise so hold strong she nodded ok big brother I made sure she and the rest of them was properly strapped down before Red took off this time I used my Shadow law to made Rex her self go invisable the people on her back did also y did I do this you may ask it was simple I looked down to see Brom was no longer there anymore neither was Vegas head or body my squad walked up to me Zarock asking so whats next brother I side looking towards the center of this city saying we storm the castle of course they all grinned at one another as we want back to the holy knights who stared at me and my squad with hostility and wariness the princes wasnt in side but I could tell we were making camp inside of the walls since the prince's carriage was there and the rest of the holy knights were setting up camp who the fuck have such an idiotic order to make camp in the enemies own kingdom was definitely inexperienced we should have marched on but when I tried asking what the hell these people was doing all I got was fuck off these are orders from the princes and when I tried talking with the prince he didn't even open his carriage door to tell me to fuck off and that I was no longer in command was I angry at this no not really it was sort of to be expected now that I think about it so I simply laughed saying then as the adviser the king sent I advise you not to do this and to come out and storm the castle if you don't there will be but the prince yelled you mother fucker dare try to advise me after what you just did you better shut the fuck up before I have you branded a trader so fuck off and do not disturb me again a huge evil grin spread across my face as I nodded as you with prince but I warned you hahahaha and with that my squad and me moved into the remaining watch tower Brock slumped sliding down the wall as he complained uggg my body is so heavy but Brick smacked him on the back of the head saying stop complaining we gave been through worse he nodded very true but Hound is a real slave driver but Jarry scoffed as he layed his nagginata against the wall as he sat down saying naa not really he expects great things from us so if your to weak to suck it up then you have no place in Grave Queen pulled off her crossbow from her back as she sat down next to him wrapping her arm with his Brock scoffed that's easy for you to say elf but I am only a human but Jake side shaking his head as was helping Bella out of her armor wall also cocking a few feels his helmet was nowhere to be seen Jake looked to him as he pulled off a piece saying dude you can stop the hole human act we all know neither of you are human nor angel so stop trying to bull shit up Brock side fine if that's what you wish and his hole ora changed what was a humans ora changed to that of a beast as dark brown fair started to grow on him and his hair turned into a lions main even his eyes turned into yellow cat like eyes he also grow and buffed out a bit Brick side saying fine brother and she started to change also black fear started to grow onto her as her hair got shot and very female lion like and her eyes also changed into bright gold cat eyes she got taller and a tad bit bigger but nowhere was she as big as her brother Ben stroked his beard saying beast people huh if I ant wrong ant your people called Lionasha Brock nodded indeed as I am sure most of you know in the holy kingdom beast folk are seen as nothing but slaves hell in almost all the kingdoms has beast folk slaves hell even the monster kingdoms who are ran by beast folk have beast folk slaves it is a harsh truth Queen nodded its the same for the elven kingdom we have elf slaves also besides I am sure you all know that elven woman slaves are quite expensive and sot out do to our connection with mana and are hi fertility rate the all nodded but Bella then asked as Jake took her helmet off so you to hide as humans but y are you here if the kingdom treats your race so badly the two siblings looked to each other and side we had no where else to go are tribe got destroyed are father right before he died screamed at us to find a man called Fjord he said that man would take us in and like that we ran and quickly we found the sect master and he taught us to transform into more if a human appearance sadly in our human forms we can use our full strength Brick nodded, to be honest, you all and the sect master are the only ones who knows about this so please but I holy asked three words who was they Brock and Brick stared at me with confusion what do you mean Boss? I looked up at them my draconic eyes glowing who was the ones who attacked your home The two siblings looked at each other confused Brick looking back to me saying we don't know sir they wasn't any other beast folk they wasnt the holy kingdom nor Brisinger or even the woof elves but they smelled like humans but we can't be sure I nodded then find out umm but y Boss Brock asked I glared at him standing up saying you know y the two if you have been running from your past but sadly you can neither run nor hide from it cuz your past always has a way with catching up on you trust me and my shoulders slumped slightly as I turned around and grabbed the edge off the roof I used this to flip me onto the roof the others was stunned hearing my words what the fuck was that Brick asked the others nodding as they looked at each other with confusion but it was Zarock who answered them he was sitting next to the door polishing his sword his black helmet rested in front of him isn't it obvious he is speaking from experience everyone looked to him Brock asking what do you mean Zarock? But Zarock didn't look up he simply pulled out a warn sharpening stone and started sharpening his sword he did a few swipes on both sides before testing its sharpness everyone was waiting for him to respond and he did finally as he picked up the stone again as he started swiping the stone down the blade you all are fools my brother is no different then you or I no matter how much it may seem my brother is mortal just like the rest of us hell even immortals can't shake the mind set of a human we all have skeletons in our closet we all have things we regret my brother included no one go through lives without some regrets no one and he stared at his reflection coming from his sword he stared at himself as a dark angry expression want across his face he side and stood up picking up his helmet he looked at every ones shocked expressions but he didn't care he simply sheathed his sword before grabbing the edge of the roof but before he flipped onto it he spoke like brother said we are Grave we are those who have raisin above are Grave to walk the land again monsters we may be but it doesn't mean we are monsters without emotions and with that he flipped him self on to the roof and soon the sound of a sword being sharpened started again the others stared at each other as they thought over his words.
