4 Magical Encounter

I sprang into action, instantly covering Levi so Mason and Akira could get him away, but as I did that the Fire Dogs backed me into a corner without me even knowing.

"Josh!" Akira screamed.

"Im fine! Get Levi outta here!" I barked. I took a step back and my heel hit the wall,

"Shit!" I thought. I jumped up the wall and used it to propel myself over the dogs and raced out of the castle, I knew i either had to kill them or I had to die. Once I was out of sight of the trio I flipped around and managed to kill two dogs, but the remaining seven didn't let me use my full strength. I killed two more by slamming solid balls of darkness into their skulls, an instant painless death. I looked around, it was five on one, the leader was in the middle, the biggest one i've ever seen. I managed to kill four of them with one strike a piece, but the leader managed to launch onto my arm.

His massive fiery teeth cutting and burning my arm, but i barely felt the pain. I smacked him with my other hand, sending him flying off me. When I got over his body I realised he was unconscious, and I couldn't kill him, I just couldn't. He looked so innocent and peaceful, I picked up his wounded body and carried him inside. I walked into my room with him in my arms, placing him on my bed, i went to grab some bandages. Once I returned I began healing him, manually wrapping and cleaning his injuries, while forgetting about my injured arm. I sat with the beast till he groggily opened his eyes, once he did he freaked out, backing up, teeth bared.

"Hey buddy, easy, it's ok." I said calmly reaching out my hand. I locked eyes with the fierce beast, and a battle of wills began. Neither of us moved, I knew I couldn't or wouldn't be attacked. I slowly reached out my hand, unsure of what would happen next. He looked at my hand with a look that made me think he was scared, i placed it on his head. He just shut his eyes, practically giving himself to me. I was shocked at first, unsure how to react. I just kept petting him, then it looked like he smiled. I smirked, knowing he knew I was the one who saved him. I couldn't decide on a name, but one good one kept popping up in my head. I decided to call him Havoc,

"Havoc, Do you like that name?" I asked, he let out a hearty bark, I could hear the approval in it. I got up and walked out, leaving him to rest. I also had something I wanted to talk to the group about, our weapons. We were unarmed and had no way of obtaining weapons, i was trying to think of a way we can make them. So once they all got back I made sure Levi was taken care of, and I began to talk to the group about their weapons. "

So what do we want to use are our individual weapons?" I asked. King didn't hesitate in her answer,

"I want to make a spirit spear." She stated.

"How do you make it?" I asked.

"You embrew some of your soul into a spear that allows you to control it telepathically and change it into different modes that are unique to the individual." She stated, "And the more modes never exceed eight." She finished.

"Can you do it?" I asked.

"Yes." She said, confidence oozing into her voice.

"Good, How about you Akira?" I asked.

"Twin daggers." He stated.

"Good, Mason?" I asked.

"I'm a shifter, remember? I don't need a weapon." He said. He gave me a look that said I was a dumbass.

"What about you?" Mason fired back. "What are you going to do for your weapon?" He asked.

"I'm going to forge a weapon of pure gold. That's all I'm gonna say about that, and we need a name, and a sheath for our weapons." I said.

"This is the final project before we decide which race we target first." I said, knowing that would get them in a serious mood.

"We start crafting at dawn." I said.

"King, watch Levi and Jotun. Make sure theyll be ok, then get some rest. The rest of us are gonna get some sleep now too." I said, knowing it would be dark out soon. I walked slowly to my room, leaving the crew to ponder what I had said to them. I began to ponder, did I make the right choice all those years ago, abandoning my family, and my destiny to be with the one I loved? I knew I couldn't think like that, she wouldn't want me to think that way. I crawled into my bed, shut my eyes and began to dream.

I awoke in a cold sweat, remembering the vivid dream I had. It was the constant death of my brothers, father and mother, but the true heart ache was the fact that I knew it would come true one day. I knew I'd have to completely rewrite the devil clan, and I'd have to become the new clan leader. I knew my father and brother despised me, they hated me with all they could. But my mother was different, she was so warm when father was so cold. She was like a goddess to me growing up, light to fathers darkness. I snapped back to reality, scrambled to my feet and got into the kitchen, following the smell of food.

"Morning Cap'." Levi said from behind the counter where he began cooking over an open flame.

"That smells good." I said, trying to push the dream out of my head.

"I do pride myself on my cooking abilities." He said with a smile. Moments later and the rest of the group walked in, King was carrying baby Jotun.

"Great now that we're all here, let's eat a hearty breakfast and get ready for work!" I said with a grin.

"Hurah!" They cooed back.
