Rex and his companions had only moved a few hundred paces when two sunken pale-skinned people dropped from a short branch, blocking their current path. Being able to see quite clearly helped Rex see that there were currently another ten hiding further back, either in tree crutches or crouched on branches. “Look, I don’t want to have to kill any of you. Just let us pass peacefully.”One of the men blocking their path snarled and turned to the other and spoke a language Rex didn’t recognise before turning back to them a few minutes later with an evil gap-toothed bleeding gummed smile, “We is takin’ one of ya’s for food.”Sighing loudly, Rex ordered Kealy to watch their backs while he engaged the men who refused to stand aside, “Well fellas, it looks like it’ll be the hard way then.” Clutching the great sword in his hand, he started forward slowly, being sure to show extra vigilance in case there were some hidden cannibals he had not seen or heard.When Rex was only five feet away from t

“Well, that wasn’t scary at all,” Teema said, stepping carefully over the recently made corpses of the cannibals Rex had just finished slaying, squealing when her foot clipped a partially beheaded man’s scalp and the head parted from the neck with a squelching sound. “Just imagine how scary it would have been if Rex hadn’t parted his head from his neck. He may have been the one removing yours to eat your insides,” Venya chimed, patting Teema on the arm gingerly when she caught up and looked down at the cannibal with a grimace. Looking up at Rex, she asked “Can we leave please? This place is already quite smelly now.” “Trust me, with all the blood now on the air, we are leaving right now before bigger predators come to claim this as their food,” Rex said, ushering the women through the mass of bodies and moving further along the trail. “Some people cannot be bargained with,” Venya said, catching up to Rex and squeezing his arm, “I heard you try and reason with them to avoid a massacr

“Depending on what your request is will determine if I agree or not,” Rex replied, unlatching Kiri’s fingers from his arm slowly.“Hm, very well, let it be known I am not a forceful woman. You no doubt heard me communing with another male earlier?” Kiri asked, turning her back to the group and walking a few steps away and gazing back in the direction she had appeared.“Well Rex stopped us because he heard something we did not,” Kealy said with a scowl and a quick shrug of her shoulders.“That was who I was talking about, I have no doubts an alpha hunter like him would pick up on things you lesser, should I even call you three ‘huntresses’ yet?” Kiri said, turning to scowl at Kealy, “He is not quite as adept as me, for I am an elder spirit of the hunt and Rex has only just started on the road of the hunter. I sensed your ambush of the half-orc woman, which I would like to know how her essence disappeared quite suddenly too, and of course, the debased humans that were no match for your

“Ok Kita, how are we going to catch this dorphan? And does it have to still be breathing to cash in the benefits?” Ean asked.“No, it does not. Most of the beast's value is after its death. Rector can use a magic negating ritual circle to prevent the beast from using its earth magic, and then you and I can end its life. Once overwhelmed it is known they can travel at remarkable speeds under the earth and without a tracking spell, would prove almost impossible to catch,” Kita said in a clear commanding voice.Ean turned quizzically to Rector, “Ritual circles? Isn’t that wytchcraft only used by the strangers and mage women from Winterwurm?”“I can only use a select few spells in that department. Protection, healing, those sorts of things,” Rector coughed, “The ones that lean to a darker side of magic, I am unfamiliar with.”“I do not know what these supposed strangers or witches are, but our Illiad’s use ritual magic,” Kita started to say.“We know. The women that are selected provide a

“Hey! What do you think you’re doing!?” Kealy called out, rushing forward, drawing her dagger.Growling loudly, Kiri rose to her feet, releasing Rex and spun to meet Kealy, grabbing her by the scruff of her tunic, lifting her off the ground with one hand, and with her other hand, flicked the dagger free from Kealy’s grip. The assault was so fast Kealy barely had time to let out a breath or react. “We only needed a few more minutes to be finished, you are indeed a selfish little worm,” Kiri growled, her voice rough.“Yeah, finish killing him!” Kealy yelled, struggling against Kiri’s grip.“Kiri, please drop her. She must have gotten the wrong idea, it was more…” Rex said, quickly appearing beside both women, placing a hand atop Kiri’s that holding Kealy aloft.“Oh my god, you were…with her!?” Kealy said, flicking her eyes between Rex and Kiri. She noticed his dishevelled tunic with parts torn at the arms, scores of scratches down his forearms, one on his cheek, and a purple mark that w

Rex’s companions all went open-mouthed seeing how quickly and easily Kiri and Skul both changed their surroundings. Kiri had just finished conjuring a large spit over a quickly lighting roaring fire, while Skul had just finished work on a wooden bar, “If you could please add an attendant,” Skul said with a wry smile looking over to Kiri.“Of course,” she replied, clapping her hands.A few seconds later, a seven-foot fur-covered, heavily muscled half-wolf, half-man entered the clearing from the darkness of the tree line, coming to a stop behind the bar. He had torn pants on that covered his manhood that ended just above the upper joint of his wolf-like hind legs but wore no clothing covering his hairy human-like upper body.“He will not speak but will obey when asked for a drink. I’m afraid with such short notice I can only provide honey ale, or a wine made from forest berries grown in my own garden, my personal favourite,” Kiri said with a smile, placing one hand on the bar Skul had c

“Well, that could’ve gone a lot better,” Ean said, exhaling loudly while pulling his conjured sword from the bleeding throat of the now-deceased dorphan at the same time Kita pulled out a sharp snapped branch from the creature’s belly.“Yes. This was sloppy amateur work that nearly ended with a grave injury to Rector, as well as losing our kill,” Kita said, tossing the branch aside.“I’ll be fine. We still got our kill, with minimal damage to the important parts of the beast we needed to harvest. It will take some time, but I will be able to slowly heal my arm in stages,” Rector continued, adjusting his torn sleeve sling slightly, wincing quietly.“It would have been nice to know that your trap spell was going to arm and trigger straight away,” Ean said with a sigh while brushing the traces of wet blood from his palm down his trouser leg.“I told you my magic is starting to depreciate. I also mentioned without Mhurl helping to keep my an’uul from closing my magic has become increasing

“Rex,” Skul said, visibly shaking, “I feel myself beginning to falter with the next step that I am required to perform, would you be my second?”“Uh,” Rex stammered, the words pulling him from his momentary brain pause, “I don’t know what is required of me in this situation.” In Rex’s mind with all the books and movies he had read and seen a ‘second’ was required to lop off the person’s head after disembowelling themselves and that did not fit into a marriage situation.“My dear, he is asking you to hold him steady, like Horken is doing for Teema,” Kiri interjected softly, adding a smile while speaking, nodding at Horken.“In that case, yes. I can do that for you,” Rex replied with a nod, visibly relieved.Moving to stand behind Skul, Rex looked over and studied how Horken was holding Teema. Copying how his arms looped under the pits of Skul, gently holding his head steady, Skul sagged a little of his weight into Rex’s grip. Rex could feel Skul’s body relax slightly under his grip, an

“So Rex,” Kiri began once they packed their cooking utensils. “I believe there is a part to this story you have not told us.”“What part is that?” Rex asked, raising one eyebrow at her.“The part where you earned the ‘blessed one’ title,” Kiri replied with a smirk. “I am most curious as to who has blessed you to elicit such a respectful response from a creature powerful enough to kill almost all of us.”Kiri’s question seemed to draw all eyes to Rex, even Cassius and Grub, even though they already knew the story.“Well,” Rex began with a little sigh as he gathered his thoughts, “I was originally tasked with performing a deed, in return for a favour. The queen then brought me through a portal to a place to have the agreement sealed by someone she called an ancient. She cannot deviate too far from some mission she was brought here to do, or something like that. Anyway, there were more ‘ancients’ than first agreed upon, almost like a council-type setup. The agreement was then changed to

“So this ‘dragon’ that is bonded with your soul is what has given you your potent abilities and now has unlocked some of your weaker magic?” Venya asked, for the fifth time. Rex had explained his meeting and bonding with Fafnir in great detail, but it seemed like Venya still did not believe him to be telling the truth. “Dragons are myth and you’re telling me your whole family line has bonded with one?” she had retorted, each time he tried telling her.“I too find his story to also be a touch fanciful, but it would also explain how he has performed such incredible feats that we have ALL witnessed. So I think it to be prudent to believe him. He has never lied to us before now, has he?” Kiri replied, finally being the one able to silence Venya.Rex had just begun to thank Kiri when Queen Ullysarius’s voice wafted across the magical space, silencing everyone.“Blessed one, we must speak.”“Sounds like I’m needed once more,” Rex sighed.“I can’t wait to be back in the real world and away f

Rex had only just erected his archway for Grub and Cassius to pass through when he was stopped, turning to face who had called out his name.“Before you go, blessed one,” Paool said, tilting his head slightly in respect. Her magnificence would like you to focus on binding the conduit. She has informed me of the importance of unlocking your once powerful magical talent for what lies ahead of you.”Rex was about to ask what he meant by that, but before he could utter a word, Paool had spun on his heel and with a faint crack, had disappeared.After the momentary shock wore off, Rex clicked his tongue in amusement at how Paool had chosen to take his leave, then spun and entered his archway.Once the quick lurching sensation from the portal had worn off, Rex’s mouth dropped open almost instantly. His spiritual space had expanded exponentially. As he took in the new surroundings, he was accosted before his brain could register what was happening.“Rex!!” a familiar growl entered his ear. Fo

Not wanting to see how Taalook had ‘Dealt’ with Norian, Rex moved on with his plan.“Anyone else wants to travel the same path as Norian?” Rex asked, watching everyone intently. He noticed the remaining squad members all wore a mixture of shock, and fear except for Barton who had disgust written over his face.“Well Barton,” Rex continued, walking up to the kneeling man. “If I release you, will you still pursue us seeing as your commander has perished?”This question elicited a moan from Brend as he struggled against his bindings.“Something to add Brend?” Cassius asked, coming to stand before the man.“Blessed one, I should warn you,” Taalook growled, stomping up to Brend, clenching two clawed hands on his right side. “He was the most aggressive fleshling. That is why his bindings are so tightly wrapped. The insect was annoying me.”Allowing Taalook to remove Brend’s gag, it did not take long for Brend to also decide to not take Rex’s lifeline.“You do not know how the godking’s army

“Well,” Rex coughed, “How do you know they came with ill intentions?”“They confessed under duress of course,” Queen Ullysarius said, casually waving her two left-sided long-clawed hands dismissively. “Do you wish to unveil the fleshed ones? Or shall I?”Turning toward Cassius for guidance and getting a confused shrug, Rex turned back, “I’ll do it.” Rex noticed the queen seemed to deflate slightly at his answer. ‘Strange response,’ he thought.“Shall I accompany you?” Ullysarius added in, quickly sidling in next to Rex, her eyes shining eagerly.” You know, in case it is decided they will visit the beyond. I would be honoured to send them there myself, blessed one.” Rex noticed she put extra emphasis on the title.Rolling his eyes, Rex moved to the first covered figure, reached under the hood and flipped it back.“Brend?” Rex asked, shocked to see Rosie’s squad leader kneeling before him, a strange black substance stuck over his mouth to prevent speaking, and his hands and elbows were

The moment Rex allowed Kiri to join him, she immediately started to mutter under her breath with her hands outstretched, slowly walking towards the young, downed woman.“What are you doing?” Cassius asked, taking a step forward to attempt to get a better view as to what Kiri was doing.“You need to stay back, the magic woven into this woman is highly unstable,” Kiri snapped, shooting a sharp glance toward Cassius, stopping him in his tracks.Raising his hands defensively, Cassius, along with Grug, retreated a few paces back and away from Kiri and the downed woman.“Grub be thinking how such small girlie make all buggies dead,” Grub asked, squinting suspiciously toward the young woman.“This poor girl has been subjected to a horrific amount of opposing magic. I am surprised she has not exploded already and killed us all, bringing this entire nest down in the process,” Kiri said, pausing her spell-casting to check the young woman’s pulse. “Before she can be moved, I must separate and sec

Rex, Cassius, Hussin and Grub were on full alert as they moved through the archway and entered into the well-lit, large cavern. The first thing Rex noticed was the amount of crazak bodies strewn around. He estimated there were at least thirty here, all looking like they had died while trying to fend off an attacker.“Be alert of your surroundings,” Cassius said after leaning over and pressing his hand onto the shredded chitin of a downed crazak that was closest to the archway. “It’s still warm, I would say the fight happened only 15 minutes ago.”“These quilix died in fighting circles,” Hussin said, surveying the carnage. “It is our most used tactic for our primarily non-combat nest members. Whatever did this used raw power to overcome all present.”“To slay this many buggies, thing must be strong,” Grub said, kneeling down next to another crazak and running his hand over its limbs, tracing the deep gouges in its tough chitin with his finger. “This buggy was ripped in pieces.

Godking Darius had never slept much in his old life, this habit leaked through to his current reincarnation. This worked well to keep his entourage of close advisors on their feet, as well as not allowing anyone to catch him unawares, which was in his top three of most despised things.He was currently perusing through his latest report papers, lounging back on his large high-backed throne chair, just sitting slightly offset to his large black obsidian desk. He always sat facing the doorway allowing him a good view of anyone who entered into his chambers. Feeling a pulse of energy approaching, he smiled evilly. Darius knew this weasel-featured advisor well. Turning slightly back to his table, he stashed the papers he was reading and turned back to face the door, interlocking his fingers across his chest and waited. A few minutes later, a soft knock on the door could be heard.“Enter,” Darius said, allowing a slight sliver of magic into his voice. He had learnt from his earliest time s

During their trip from the throne room, Paool questioned Rex about his incredible ability to heal wounds.After seeming somewhat satisfied with Rex’s vague explanation about being bonded with an ancient creature and sharing some of its traits, Paool then asked about how he was hiding the presence of other beings, explaining he could sense multiple scents emanating from him.“Why does smart buggy not be asking Grub about him?” Grub suddenly blurted out, appearing next to Paool, startling the crazak.“Uh, this one does not know what to ask of you delicious-smelling one,” Paool replied after a few seconds, his name for Grub eliciting a chuckle from Cassius.Before Grub was able to respond, Paool stopped suddenly, his action not being noticed by the others for another two steps.“Everything ok Paool?” Rex asked, instinctively resting his hand on the pommel of his sword while his eyes darted between both ends of the tunnel they currently traversed.“Yes, blessed one. This humble one was ju
