Chapter 7 The gathering

Episode 7.

Theme: the gathering

Location: Fangorn Wood.

Jake, Jack, and Ariel could be walking amidst different big oak trees, Jack was leading the team and he had a map in his hand. " According to the map, we are getting closer to the gate of Mordor," Jack says these words in front of his friends.

"I am fucking tired right now, and the fact that I haven't eaten anything but fruit ever since the last fight with those wolves doesn't help my matter."

Jake elucidated

"Ptcheeeew. See a lazy ass guy saying he hasn't eaten? You are a glutton and I can't even remember the last time you had a good fight since we set out on this quest. All you do is eat and hide like a coward. " Ariel replied to Jake.

"Shut up, little witch," Jake snapped.

Don't forget, I may be little, but I am still a thousand years older than you." Ariel replied proudly. "Even during the last titans' war that we mistakenly wandered into, You've never killed more than 30 titans before fleeing like the coward you are." She mocked Jake, whilst moving closer to Jack, who had left them on their own.

"Like you, little witch, did a single thing to help the matter." He answered casually.

"Let me show you what a little but mighty witch could do." She rolled up her long-sleeve shirt, ready to hit Jake. But Jack shouted their name and beckoned them to take a look at what he had just discovered. Right in front of them is a medium-sized magnificent gate. It was made of pure gold, and the rays of the sun shining brightly on it made it more attractive.

"Welcome to Mordor, the City of Giants." was boldly written in front of the gate.

"Wow, I have finally found it." Jake squeezed in delight. " I am sure they must have well-baked bread and something cold here in the village. " Jake elucidated with joy in his voice.

A loud, deafening slap landed on his cheek while Jack burst into a heavy laugh, with tears threatening to come out of his eyes due to the way he was laughing. Jake stayed rooted to the ground, clenching his teeth and fist in anger while his hair started to change color. "It seems like Mr. Glutton is finally ready to give me a tough beating." Ariel taunted "Unknown to him, it was just a small part of what a little witch can do". She concluded in a mocking tone. Jake was about to retaliate when a portal suddenly opened behind them and three plasma balls were directed at each one of them. Ariel was fast to cover herself with a force field while Jack quickly did a side flip and evaded the ball, but Jake was the unlucky one.

The ball hit him and the force carried him back, slamming his head hard on the gate of Mordor.

"Nice meeting you, the so-called ancient warrior."

A voice spoke, while Kyle, Asteria, and Alpha Thane, together with some wolves and vampires, stepped out of the portal.

==================================================Somewhere in the forest===============================================================

Franni p.ov.

Since a portal sucked me from Seer Argon's abode and dropped me here in an unknown forest, I've been wandering in these godforsaken woods. I couldn't even say goodbye to my father and my little brother. Speaking of the devil's kid, It seems like I'm missing him already. Gosh, it sucks and it's boring out here. I know that there is no one to converse with, I am the only one here, just I had junk alone. Speaking of the idiot, I idiot, I decided to release her, even though I knew I was in for another hell of trouble. "See who has finally decided to let us out." Her annoying voice rang out in my head. It was like she had swallowed a megaphone, and her loud voice caused a bang in my head. I am sure she did it as part of my punishment. "Thank the moon goddess that I couldn't scent any fresh meat anywhere near, or else I would have shown you hell, But I still have a trick here up to my sleeve." She utters it in my head again.

Gosh, that was when I remembered that I wasn't with any extra clothes. But wait she just mentioned a trick, Before my brain could signal what she means to my whole system. I felt a strong stomach pain in my lower abdomen and my body started turning hot as if on fire. The torture was unbearable and which I can't endure, leaving me no choice but to scream out in pain. "Fra, please let's settle this, or shall we strike a deal?" I begged amidst the pain. But the idiot went silent.

"Wait, you said a deal, right?" I heard her voice after some minutes of silence.

"Yep, you heard me right. But just make this pain disappear first. "

"I will stop it, but if you try blocking me again, it is a sin which I won't easily forgive or forget." She forewarned me, and the pain vanished.

I sigh in relief and propose the deal but she cuts me short that she isn't ready to hear my trash deal now. That means she has something else which wouldn't favor me. My ear suddenly caught a great battle cry from afar. Not only that but the howl of an Alpha wolf. I race toward the scene with my vampire speed. Even though junk tries to take over, I can't let that happen. Especially for the fact that I don't have extra clothes and I can't risk walking naked. "What is there to cover, as if it is something special." Junk mocked. She taunted me again in my head, "As if this is your first time walking naked. "

There in front of me were two young boys and a girl, wreaking havoc on some wolves and vampires. Then my eyes caught the sight again, The idiot that almost killed me. "Now it's my time." Junk howled out loud in my ear and went berserk. She sped towards Asteria with an unimaginable speed that seemed to blend with the air and caught her by the neck. She sent a skull-breaking punch to her face while my vampire side also kicked in. Before she could recover from the punch, I grabbed her with my claw and tossed her to a nearby tree. She staggered up, looking more infuriated. Then a smirk forms on the corner of her lips when she sees me in my wolf and vampire forms.

"It's good to meet you again, aunty," I mutter under my breath and am sure she heard.

"Let's make today a red-letter day, cousin."

She answered.

"Bring it on, the black sheep".

I replied, and we both charged at one another with a great and unimaginable speed.
