“Is he okay?” Samoa asked worriedly. The healer taking care of Blistering Cheetah checked his pulse and breathing and then nodded his head to indicate that everything was fine.
“He is fine. He only fainted due to exhaustion.” The healer’s words relieved Samoa somewhat, but also left him very confused. Why did Blistering Cheetah look so relieved when he was told of Wandering Cheetah’s death? Was there some sort of misunderstanding between the two? But that didn’t seem feasible, given that Blistering Cheetah obviously cared about his friend.“I’m so confused right now,” Samoa sighed and then returned his gaze to the battlefield where his friend and several Predators were fighting a desperate battle.*****************************Swish*Domineering Tiger moved slightly to the side to avoid the claws of the Pseudo Legendary Class Magical Beast. He lightly span his body and then pierced towards the beasWithout regard for his safety, Frowning Tiger dashed forward with full speed. His target? The beast that killed his friend.“Wait!” Domineering Tiger tried to dissuade his colleague from making a foolish decision. But Frowning Tiger ignored him and continued his charge.“Damn it!” Domineering Tiger swore, his composure tossed outside the window. He hesitated for a bit, before finally running after Frowning Tiger.Behind the two Tigers who were leaving were Arthur and his father. Both had their eyes closed as they concentrated on regaining their strength. They calmed their breathing and tried to calm their rioting blood. Village Head Fan opened his eyes first. He had been using Caliburn way longer than Arthur had been using Durandal. Naturally he was able to deal with its rampaging energy faster. He opened his eyes just in time to see Rash Tiger’s death, and he felt his heart constrict in pain witnessing one of his trusted warriors,
They were right in a sense. Blistering Cheetah was indeed unaware of what he said. But his words came from a memory. A memory he was currently reliving.“What do you know about Savior?” the Oracle, a dark skinned pretty middle aged woman asked a young Blistering Cheetah.“It was made by some Scientists after they experimented with the blood of several Magical Beasts,” said the young Blistering Cheetah.“That is not true,” the Oracle shook her head after listening to his words. The young Blistering Cheetah was confused. Then what was the truth. Luckily for him, the Oracle gave an answer even before he could ask.“They didn’t experiment on Magical Beasts. They experimented on people”“What!” Blistering Cheetah didn’t see that coming. If they did, why was it revealed that they experimented on Magical Beasts?“During that time, humans were weak. We didn’t have th
“How could it be him?!” Samoa exclaimed seeing the figure that crawled out of the mouth of the beast.“How can a mere cat swallow the sun?” Suddenly, someone said this confusing sentence, and Samoa naturally turned to see who it was.“Sir Blistering Cheetah?”Correct, the man who was meant to be asleep was awake. There was a huge smile on his lips as he watched the naked figure of his friend standing tall on the battlefield.“For he remains. He is never gone”************************************“How is that possible?” Beastly Tiger asked, stunned with what he was witnessing. A man who was supposed to be dead had come back from the grave!Everyone, from Unbound Mongoose to Frowning Tiger whose breath was getting shallower and shallower by the second, was stunned with what they were witnessing. Not only had they seen the beast trample on their friend, they also witnessed it co
“Looks like my worries were unfounded”Quite a distance away from the battlefield, and beyond the reach of any of the men or women, two cloaked figures stood watching the entire proceedings. One of them was slightly hunched, indicating some signs of old age. It was this figure that spoke, and the feminine tone was enough to show that it was a woman.“How could you not believe in your own prophecy?” The other figure next to the woman mocked. Unlike the woman, he wasn’t hunched over, and his baritone voice was filled with youth. There was a large sword poking out of his cloak, and his thick long hair could be seen even under the cover of the cloak.“You can’t blame a mother for being worried about her son,” the hunched old lady replied. Her voice had a bit of joy in it. And why wouldn’t she be happy.“I still feel like there was a better way to reverse the damage that the New Type Potion did to his
“There are signs of internal injury for sure. But those ones aren’t the issue here. It’s the injury to your spine that is the problem”Back in the village, Blistering Cheetah was getting a thorough review of his injury. Looking into the eyes of the healer, Blistering Cheetah calmly asked,“So?”The healer sighed and said, “It would be a miracle if you are able to walk again.”Blistering Cheetah didn’t look so torn by the news. He seemed to have expected this already. He couldn’t feel his legs when he was made to lie on the straw mat, but he hoped that it was only temporary. Apparently it was not.“How is he?” A dark skinned man suddenly appeared in the room. His abrupt appearance stunned the healer so much so that she dropped the medicine tray she was holding on to.“Please knock next time,” she furrowed her brows and chided the one who came in. She quickly b
“Samoa,” Village Head Fan called out to the departing Samoa and said, “You should stay.”“Why did you agree to their suggestion Father? Sir Dan saved our lives! We have no right to demand anything more of him!”Once the elders were gone, Arthur unleashed his frustrations on his father. In his anger he banged on the table, which happened to be the only table in the room, and unsurprisingly the poor table was destroyed.“Calm down. You just broke the only table made of Acacia wood in the entire village.” Village Head Fan’s heart ached at the sight of the expensive wooden masterpiece crumbling into bits. It was something he paid a great price for – or at least that was the lie he fed everyone he knew.“Please. Isn’t that the furniture you extorted from the Black Wolf Gang when they tried to raid the village?” Arthur smirked disdainfully and said.Others didn’t know whe
The village was usually a great place to live. Each person treated their neighbor like family, and just like family most were very close to each other. That was why no one would ever want to be an outcast in the village. Everyone, and by that I mean everyone, would disregard an outcast. The thing about being surrounded by people who were as close as family members was, once you offended one of them, you offended them all.“This is his house?” Arthur asked, very surprised to see the structure before him. In reality, the house he was looking at wasn’t bad at all. It even had a compound and was relatively large. It was a good place for any villager to live in – if they were common members of the village. But for a Predator, this wasn’t good enough.First and foremost, the house was in a secluded part of the village, and almost bordered on its outskirts. Arthur had seen his master’s place before. In fact, he had gone to his master’
In the PresentVillage Head Samoa was narrating the incidents of the past to the three Thrashers under his command. Of course he didn’t know anything about Dan’s secret or the Ancients, but he told them what he knew of the battle all those years ago and what had happened.“So we would have been nothing impressive in those days,” Scarred Boar sighed after Village Head Samoa was done with his narration. Hearing that the village had over twenty Predators, of which 15 were Tigers was truly eye opening. In times were there were as many as 75 Thrashers, they who were also Thrashers wouldn’t have been anything much in such a line up.“It’s unbelievable really. If it came from anyone else, I wouldn’t have believed it.” Hidden Boar shook his head with a bitter smile. He was a proud warrior, and hadn’t seen the village as something worthy of his services. After all, he only chose to become part of the vi
