Fire and lightningThe dense forest was alive with the sounds of nature, a symphony of rustling leaves, chirping birds, and the occasional snap of a twig. Sunlight filtered through the thick canopy, casting dappled patterns on the forest floor, which was covered in a rich carpet of moss and fallen leaves. Ancient trees, their trunks gnarled and twisted, stood tall and proud, their branches forming a tangled web overhead. Vines and creepers hung from the branches, swaying gently in the breeze, while the scent of damp earth and fresh pine filled the air.In this primeval forest, a lone figure moved with predatory grace. A mountain werewolf, with his powerful build and heightened senses, was on the hunt. His muscles rippled beneath his fur as he knelt down, touching the soil with his clawed fingers. He brought a handful of dirt to his nose and sniffed deeply, his sharp senses picking up the faint scent of his quarry. She had been here, and recently.Rising to his feet, the mountain werew

Fire and Lightning IIBack at the basement. Tara, Claud and Lupa had already assembled to devise a new plan as the day of the demon’s feeding was upon them.“So is everyone familiar with the plan?” “Pretty much, yeah.”“Try not to die again.”“Haha, very funny Lupa.” Claud said. “We move in 30.“Claud, Lupa and Tara went to their different changing rooms. The air inside was charged with a sense of urgency and anticipation. Streetlights outside cast a dim glow through the windows, illuminating the scene as Claud, Tara, and Lupa geared up for their mission.Claud stood by a sturdy wooden table in the living room, methodically donning his black outfit. The material was a special blend, designed to be both flexible and durable, perfect for the rigors of a hunt. He pulled on his gloves, the dark fabric fitting snugly over his powerful hands. His outfit covered him from head to toe, leaving only his eyes exposed. He adjusted the mask that covered his mouth, ensuring it was secure. The blac

Revenge“My name is Elena Matthews,” the woman whispered, her voice trembling as she stared into Claud’s compelling blue eyes. Her fear was palpable, but under the influence of his power, she couldn’t resist the urge to speak. “I released the demon to help me kill the men who molested me and killed my family.”She recounted the horrifying night when five men broke into her home, their faces twisted with malice. They murdered her parents before her eyes and then subjected her to unspeakable horrors. “They saw me hiding in the wardrobe,” she continued, her voice hollow with pain. “They dragged me out and… they raped me, over and over again.”Tears welled in Elena’s eyes as she relived the trauma. “They didn’t see me as a threat,” she whispered. “They took off their masks, gave me like as it was something to remember them by and left.” She recounted how, years later, she discovered that these men had become wealthy businessmen, their lives untouched by justice.“It was then that I found

Acquaintances“She couldn’t have gotten far.” Claud said. “We have to find her.”“How can we know if she’s still in the building or not?”“She’s a human.” Lupa said. “Humans are not that fast but just to be sure, you’ll go round the building to look for her since you’re faster and I’ll go outside and secure the area. I’ll look around to see if she got out already.”“Wait…” Claud said in realization. “Did she release her demon?”“She didn’t. She just ran off the moment she broke free. She didn’t think of releasing her demon for support.” Lupa said when she saw the demon in the exact spot that they left it. “I think we underestimated her.”Lupa went outside while Claud went around the building checking every corner for Elena. ***“What’s that stench?” A familiar werewolf thought to himself. “It smells like another forest werewolf. A very young one. Taking it out shouldn’t take long.Lupa kept moving around the area scanning for any sign of Elena when she saw a shuriken flying towards h

Another option“You guys should wait a minute.” Lycidas stood up from the floor. His regeneration now complete. “I’m still a learner in the use of my magic. I can’t do anything serious so just continue your lives like you have been because you still don’t have a warlock. Only my mom is a fully realised sorcerer.” “Take us to her then.”“She’s dead.” Lycidas said, exasperated. “That was the whole point of my revenge. The main reason why I wanted to kill her. If she was alive, I wouldn’t be here trying to avenge her now, would I?”“Oh true.” Claud said. “Is there not a way to magically talk to the dead?”“You’re saying it like we can do whatever we want with magic without any consequences or repercussions.” Lycidas said. “Magic is not the way the fairy tales put it to be. Magic is a give and take situation. U can’t draw magic out of thin air. You need to get energy from somewhere and since there are no things in the human world with the type of energy source I need, I’ll have to draw e

Hoia Baciu againThe journey to the Hoia Baciu Forest began at midnight, when the moonlight pierced the dense canopy of the ancient trees. The air was crisp and cool, laden with the earthy scent of moss and decaying leaves. Claud, led the group with long, confident strides. His eyes, a piercing blue, scanned the path ahead, ever watchful for any sign of danger.Beside him walked Lupa, her lithe form moving with a grace that belied her strength. Lycidas and Elena got a hint of her relationship with Claud because of the small, tender gestures they exchanged. A touch on the arm, a shared glance, a quick smile and occasional giggles.Elena, the person who had unwittingly released a demon into the world, followed closely behind them. Her face was pale with worry, her eyes wide and darting at every rustle and shadow. The weight of her mistake hung heavily on her shoulders, and the presence of the demon within her cast a dark shadow over her soul. She clutched at her coat, her fingers trembl

Hoia Baciu Again IIThey all nodded, a renewed sense of determination settling over them. As they pressed on, the eerie silence of the forest was punctuated only by the sound of their footsteps and the occasional whisper of the wind through the trees.As the Claud, Lupa, Lycidas and Elena continued through the oppressive, shadowed depths of the Hoia Baciu Forest, a sudden whistling noise pierced the air. In an instant, Claud’s reflexes kicked in, and he leaped into action, catching an arrow mere inches from Elena’s head.“Positions, everyone! We’re under attack!” Claud roared, his voice echoing through the trees. “Any ideas who it could be?” he asked, glancing at Lycidas.“Trolls,” Lycidas replied, a note of grim recognition in his voice. “They’re thieves, carnivores, and magical creatures. Not as strong as a werewolf individually, but formidable in numbers.”Before Claud could respond, the forest exploded into chaos. The trolls had planned their attack meticulously. Hundreds of them

Fairies“So we’re finally here?”“Not quite.” Lycidas said. “The village of the pixies, their hive. Is the last stop before the tomb that harbours the eldershard crystal. If we can get past their village without making noise or alerting them. It’ll be perfect. That way we’ll only have to deal with the guardian pixies, the astral but if the village finds out that we’re here, they’ll attack us and make us lose the element of surprise. We’ll definitely prevail and beat every pixie in the village. They’re no match for us but the astrals, they’re a different type of pixie. Stronger, faster and smarter. If they see us beating their whole village, they’ll resort to severe measures to protect the eldershard crystal. I don’t know what they’ll do but I’m sure we won’t stand a chance anymore if they get that prep time.” “So what should we do?”“Wait for nightfall.”“Nightfall again?” Lupa asked. “We have just one day left. If we don’t get back tomorrow to the demon it’ll free itself from the bi
