Booty saving
Jason didn't really know what he saw, everything had started to get murky and wobbly. But he felt a familiar breath on his nape then a few pairs of teeth that bit into his collar and dragged him away somewhere.
Through a small crack in his eyes, he spotted a multitude of wolves standing around a goblin general.
The goblin general growled at the mass of wolves surrounding him,
"I was just about to finish him off, guess I need to get sidetracked for a bit"
The wolves collectively let out a growl and were about to rush him when a calm voice spoke out from the crowd
"calm down, he is mine to fight"
The alpha wolf strode through the crowd of wolves which respectfully parted and let him pass. The alpha wolf stood in front of the goblin general which scoffed again
"you? I killed your family years ago in front of your eyes"
The alpha wolf growled and lowered its stance about to pounce on the goblin general. But just as it was about to do so, another voice spoke up from the crowd
"he is also mine to take"
The last ember wolf stood through the crowd, the youngest of fire flickering around its body, and the fire that it seemed to constantly exhale grew larger as it got closer to its fated enemy.
It stood next to the alpha wolf, facing off against the goblin general.
The goblin general let out a laugh
"I exterminated your kind years ago, even my goblin mage can wipe out you lot"
The goblin general turned to look for its goblin mage which was usually always at his side. But instead replacing the goblin mage was a shadowy black-figured man, a glimmer of blue eyes and white-silver hair could be seen from underneath his hood and at the man's feet as a goblin mage, its blood already pooling underneath. Standing next to Swifteye was Uranius who was completely painted with blood, but casually sat on a goblin leader's severed head and waved towards the goblin general.
The goblin general let out a loud yell and started to march towards the two players. But at this very moment, the two wolves jumped on the back of the goblin general letting their teeth dig into the general's back. The ember wolf released as much fire as it possibly could, the general let out a scream, and spread its arms out letting out a yell that created a small shockwave that blasted the wolves off of its back.
The alpha and ember wolf both neatly landed on the ground, as the goblin general writhed around at the intense pain on its neck and back. A putrid smell could be smelt from his back as the poison blade skill Jason had used mixed with price strike had made the poison infiltrate places where it normally couldn't have.
And now with the wounds on its back encouraging blood flow and spreading the poison, the haziness in the goblin general's eyes only got worse.
The goblin general clutched at the giant two-handed blood ax next to him and raised it up slamming its hilt on the ground. Its red eyes started to give off a brighter glow and soon, misty red energy emerged from it, covering its skin and dying it red.
A few seconds later the goblin general stood up and held the two-handed ax with one hand brandishing it and swing it at the two wolves, a giant gust picked up the moment he slashed down with it to point at the two wolves.
The two wolves readied themselves.
The goblin general dashed towards them its speed exponentially increasing, it slammed down at where the wolves were, thankfully the wolves had already leaped away, but the shockwave of where the goblin general had hit propelled the wolves farther away.
The alpha wolf landed and immediately slashed with one of its claws releasing a long white crescent moon blade.
The ember wolf opened its mouth and released a vast field of flames.
The goblin general took the hit of the crescent blade, completely ignoring it as it created another large wound on its back it walked through the field of flames that continuously burned him, without a single reaction to it, it just steadily strode through its eyes locked on the ember wolf.
The ember wolf backed up continuously blowing out flames at the goblin general which seemed to have completely lost all ability to reason. It ignored the flames which had started to blacken parts of its red skin. It raised its axe up and swung down at the ember wolf which was still trying to let out enough flames to beat the goblin general back.
The ember wolf could only look at the axe fly down towards it.
But a grey blur bit onto the arm and forcibly changed its direction, the axe slammed into the ground a few inches away from the ember wolf, Jeffery stood up raising its head proudly as it held the goblin generals arm in its mouth.
It suddenly dawned on Jeffery that he was holding a goblin general's arm in its mouth and it quickly dropped it to see that it was still clutching onto the red axe the place where it had been pulled out was on the shoulders where huge burns could be seen.
Everyone looked back at the goblin general who was now swamped in a sea of flames, it stumbled around, with one arm, the alpha wolf jumped on the goblin general's back bringing it crashing to the ground. The flames started to die out and soon the charred goblin general was laying on the ground pinned down by the alpha wolf.
The goblin general's breathing started to slow down, and as its heart slowed down, its eyes stopped shining red and returned to normal goblin eyes, eyes that they had actually not seen before. Its skin started to lose the red shine and returned to the green goblin skin.
With labored breaths, it looked at the alpha wolf and the ember wolf. Struggling to open its mouth it muttered its last words
"should have killed you all when you were young, they prey has truly become the..."
The goblin general's head fell to the ground at that point and remained motionless.
The alpha wolf looked back at the rest of the wolves, a few were holding back tears, and some were just looking around at the valley. It had been turned into a totally different place, but if one looked closely they could see the small corner where they when they were young cubs, would hide their precious treasures, or in the middle of the valley where the goblin general's hut was, that was where the mystic wolves would gather to determine the clan's future.
The alpha wolf slowly stepped off the corpse of the goblin general and looked around slowly trodding into the valley looking at the familiar walls and land. This strange emotion seemed to overcome the alpha wolf, and as it turned around to face the rest of the pack, a sudden loss of words struck him, it felt like they were stuck at the base of his throat.
In the end, he could only say one thing only one thing that could just barely begin to describe what he felt.
"We are home"
The sun was starting to set, but the brilliant red rays shone through the valleys casting it in a joyful and peaceful light. The trees on the cliffs of the valley as if brushed by gusts of wind slowly let their beautiful green leaves fall upon the valley, if some looked closely they could see little tree seedlings mixed with them.
The alpha wolf turned and looked at the setting sun, a few tears forming at the corner of his eye. He could practically see it, he and his daughter running through the valley laughing as they chased each other, and his wife watching them with a smile on his face.
Finally, after so long, he could put those memories to rest, he could finally honor their memories without an overwhelming sense of shame.
The alpha wolf turned back to the pack and spoke words that seemed to come out of his very soul
"let us rebuild our clan! we must honor our ancestors who formed it, and though we may have lost it at one point, let us make it so that we will never lose it again"
The pack of wolves lets out a collective howl of joy even the ember wolf joined in at the end.
