CHAPTER 3: FORBIDDEN RACE

CHAPTER 3: FORBIDDEN RACE

Linurk walked all the way back to his people, then there was a flash. It was so bright, dark purple in colour.

It came with a mighty shock wave which made the ground rumble like an earthquake. The shock wave pushing Linurk forward causing him to loose balance and fall to the ground.

After a few minute he was conscious and struggled to get back up to his feet. He finally stood himself up, in his thought he finally realized what could have caused a shockwave of such peculiar colour.

Tears flowed down his cheeks as his mind was no longer settle, Linurk still believed Ridjurd would return. The reason Ridjurd is such a bug deal because his is the only one among all of them capable of harnessing the divine power known as Magic.

It was all because of him they were able to survive for so long and hang unto life despite being on the verge of giving up, they held on just because of him. Linurk stared at nothing entirely as tears flowed down his cheeks, he knew their chances of survival has reduced.

As much as it hurt him, he refused to believe Ridjurd was gone. Linurk stood for sometime waiting trying harder and harder to convince himself that his still alive and that there's still hope for them.

In those moments minutes turned to hours and no sign of his friend.

*SIGH*

He sigh,

"The bastardy was right" He says,

"Hope is a lie"

Linurk said as he raised his hand to clean the tears in his eyes.

Linurk turned around with so much grieve in his heart he began his long walk back to his people.

**************

Then a creature rose from the shadow, it was furry and the size of 2 dare wolves combined with its eyes pure red.

The other dare wolves noticing it's presence placed their tails between this hind legs and bowed their head to the ground.

It was like them, except it was bigger, larger in size with blood thirsty aura that excited from it. The creature walked forward towards the wolves and before it lyes Ridjurd dead body, which was torn apart and bloodied.

"What went wrong here?"

The creature spoke, it's voice was feminine but yet really intimidating making shivers of fright go down the other wolves spine.

"This is the body of the magic users among them"

One of the wolves stepped forward with its head still bowed replied,

"This would work in our favour"

The creature said.

"They are forbidden race which no one knows of who or what they are and yet kept on killing our kind"

The creature explained,

"They had the guts to attack us in our territory "

"But with it gone(referring to Ridjurd) they are defenceless and hopeless"

It said while the other wolves kept their heads bowed to the ground.

"Rise"

It said and the other wolves obeyed and rose their heads from the ground.

"We won't waste anymore time we'll eliminate them as soon as possible "

It said to them as it turned it's head to look at Ridjurd lidless, dismantled body.

"Is it the last"

The creature asked once again using then word it to classify Ridjurd.

But the smaller wolves went into silence on hearing her question. Getting no reply to its question the creature turned it's head to the one who replied it before.

"Did anyone of them survive"

It asked once more and the air around them went heavy as the creature released it's aura.

"we were chasing 3 of them, we killed 2 but we couldn't find the last one "

It responded quickly with its head bowed to the ground.

The large beast was so fast, in seconds it struck the wolf with its huge paw sending it flying across the air hitting a tree.

"We strike tomorrow by nightfall"

It said as it turned about to leave, when it finally noticed.

It paused in its track and turned it's head to his right looking at the other wolves. It finally noticed the scratched and wounds on, it turned it's head to its left seeing so many dead bodies of its kind.

It shifted it's gaze back to Ridjurd dead body and it had an unpleasant look on its face.

"Didn't go down without a fight"

It's said inwardly,

"But without you they have no chance against us"

"Victory is ours"

It said as it raised it's head up to the beautiful night sky and howled at the moon.

"AAAAWWWWOOOO"

Then the other joined,

"AAAAAWWWWWWOOOOO"

"Tomorrow by nightfall victory will be ours"

The creature yelled and it began run through the forest while the others followed from behind.
