16 Chapter 16: We get asses kicked.

The strong and frozen wind, from the ice mountain, was blowing in Prometheus ears. He walked around making little pats on the crackling snow, he tried to be as discreet as possible. In front of him, there was the entrance to the cave. Prometheus had to go inside, find the beast that lived there and get him out. On the paper, it was pretty simple. But in reality the task was extremely complex. Especially for a person like Prometheus who had never done this kind of mission before. The further he went in the cave, the less the wind blew, and the more sounds were heard. Every sound of pats, or breathing, seemed deafening to him. But he had to take his trouble in passivity and advance to the beast.

After a while, it became so dark in the cave that Prometheus could no longer see what was in front of him. Suddenly he heard a horrible snoring. Like a predator scream in front of its prey. Prometheus thought he should be in front of the beast. He then began to make gestures while pronouncing an spell. Then after 5 seconds a weak light appeared. The room becomes illuminated but not completely. Some place was still immersed in hombre pain. But it didn't matter, because Prometheus was less than five metres from the beast. At first he wanted to move back by reflex, but even before he moved, he regained his calm and remained motionless, his breath taken away.

The beast that stood asleep before Prometheus was enormous. Imagined a bear, now imagined that it is 5 meters high. Well, you're still a far way from that, because that beast was terrifying. The proof of Darwin's theory of evolution, according to which it is the most adapted ( strongest) survives. The beast's coat was grey, its mouth was huge although closed, and its eyes were wide open yet it was sleeping. Prometheus calmed down and looked around, to make sure there was no other beast. Then he started to move back. He looked at the path he had to take to escape the cave and then grabbed his badge in which the fireball spell.

Outside Brutus was talking with Nicolas:

- Are you sure he's still alive, Nicolas?

- Of course why?

- Well, he's been in the cave for a long time, but it doesn't look very big.

- That's because he's discreet, unlike you who breaks everything in his path.

Brutus thought and looked at Nicolas.

- Maybe I should learn to be discreet. It could be...

Brutus doesn't have time to finish his sentence. A horrible scream was heard. The beast had just woken up and seemed angry. A few seconds later, we heard Prometheus' voice.

- PREPARE YOURSELF, HE'S COMING.

Suddenly Prometheus came out of the cave, followed with me a meter apart by a grizzly bear at least 5 meters high. The bear's face seemed burned and he was screaming with rage and anger. Brutus and Nicolas looked at each other and then took a stand. Brutus gave a huge throw into the ground and screamed at the full lung.

- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Her scream sounded more like a crit of an animal than a man's. Nicolas during this time ran to a very high tree and began to climb it. He had to climb up to get a clear line of sight. The bear, hearing Brutus' cry, shouted back. Her scream was strange, quite sharp. Then he rushed towards Brutus, he made the ground tremble at every turn. Prometheus began to withdraw from the battlefield, he clearly did not have the level for this fight.

But as he withdrew, he heard another scream. Weaker and more acute. They were baby bears. Of course they were young but he was all at least 1 meter high. Prometheus opened his eyes wide and smiled. He thought that these cubs were not too dangerous, he drew his rapier and ran towards them.

Brutus and the giant bear ran into each other. When their two masses met, a violent noise was heard, like an explosion. The snow around them gushes out in all directions. Brutus seemed to have lost his brief duel of strength. He backed away by doing a few pats backwards. The bear took advantage of it and ran for Brutus. He kicked him in the stomach with his head, then he kicked him in the brain with his paw. Brutus crashed into the ground. Nicolas, who was observing the scene from afar, swore.

- Shit. Shit.

He caught three arrows in his quiver, then banded his bow. He took a deep breath, at the same time a blue aura formed around him. His muscles contracted, and the arrows turned blue. When he released the bow string, the arrows rushed towards the bear at high speed. They looked like ice peaks and moved as if they had reason. The First Arrow lands in front of the bear, creating a huge crater in the ground. The bear moved back by the arrow, then the second arrow touched the bear's arm. Blowed it up on contact. The flesh spurted in all directions. The bear screamed in rage. When suddenly, the third arrow passed beside his head. Nicolas had missed his target.

- SHITCH.

Nicolas came down from the tree. And began to run towards the beast, while preparing arrows. The bear, mad with rage, had just lost an arm. He was suffering from terrible pain and watched Brutus' course lying down, he wanted revenge before he died of hemorrhage. He opened the gavel wide and rushed towards Brutus' head.

Right behind Prometheus was beating in front of this bear's child. At first he thought that killing them was an easy task. But he was surrounded by the cubs very easily. Besides, the cubs were in rage, they had just seen their mothers lose an arm. Prometheus tried to remember what he had read in one of the books on the magician warriors.

- Always be active, throw a spell or have physical contact with the opponent. A magician warrior is only allowed to be inactive when he is dead.

Prometheus started a spell of rank 0 (Prometheus can only cast spells of rank 0 or else he gets injured).

As he was throwing his spell, two bears ran at him. Prometheus had to fight but also cast a spell. He finally understood why magician warriors were so rare. He made a slit towards one of the cubs. But the cubs got on their hind legs and deflected Prometheus' weapon with a paw. The bear may have been young, but he was still strong. He kicked Prometheus' weapon so hard, he dropped it. The other bear heading towards Prometheus was less than 2 metres from him. He started screaming his eyes were blood red. Prometheus was overhung on all sides, unarmed, and his spell was not ready.
