New World

The pact finished and their souls bound a range of changes occurred.

"I can feel myself becoming stronger, albeit super slowly!" The first to notice was Noku, his body well adapted to natures embrace and thus being more in touch with himself.

"What'd you mean?" Though Foren didn't understand, as he was not as adept with his body or nature.

"Feel it, close your eyes, our fires are doing something to each other and its making us stronger!" Hearing that Foren was skeptical but did so anyways, checking within himself by willing the flow from his chest to examine his body.

"It's true!" He shouted aloud, thoughts swirling in his mind.

Our profession fires seem to feeding off each other and nourishing each other, kind of like refining themselves in each others heat, going by this the stronger one of us gets the stronger the other get's as well! Though Noku was a very intelligent wolf he could still not match up to the thinking capabilities of Foren who had been around much longer than him.

"This is great!" Foren shouted, though quickly shutting his mouth and looking around him, only now coming back to reality after having formed the pact and realizing exactly the place he was in.

Idiot! Screaming like that in a deathly still place like this! He berated mentally.

Wait a minute? Why is everything so silent? But it was at a time like this that he noticed the noises of the world, something he never cared about, and what he noticed was that they were gone, only silence filled the air in its deafening embrace.

"Hey, Noku, I think we should leave this place fast!" Saying so he picked up a surprised Noku and started running out of the dump.

"Noku..." Taking the time while running out of the dump he started explaining the situation to Noku.

Once they had gotten out of the dump the cries of people and sounds of chaos entered their ears like a cannon, while behind them a creepy feeling arose, and was starting to get closer.

Without a second though Foren began running again, noticing that he wasn't feeling tired at all despite having ran for such a long while, making a mental note that he had to check out his new specs.

Meanwhile Noku who was facing backwards on Foren's head could see everything happening behind them with his now enhanced vision as though it was right in front of him, and it chilled him to the bone.

"Run faster!" Noku Shouted, charging up his flaming burst, for the scene behind him was simply that terrifying, within the dump that was once trash now held trash of a different kind.

A being faintly visible in the distance was surrounded in a purple glow, a low chanting echoing out to where they were even from such a distance, and under him was a pond of blood, corpses of uncountable number strewn about.

Any being who can kill so many so quickly is not someone we can take on right now! Noku thought, still urging Foren to run faster.

"Alright! Hold on!" Not a breath after Foren was urged did he accelerate pushing himself as hard as he could, leaving the dump far behind.

Meanwhile, at the dump, a certain group of boys were watching the mage in fear, it was precisely the three boys who had tried to eat Noku before.

The wound inflicted by Noku now bandaged, small traces of blood left on the bandage.

"Rats hiding in the dark I see!" the being twitching his nose spoke.

"You three will make good materials." From the being came a creepy voice making their hairs stand on end, and in the next moment they were floating just above the blood pond.

"No!!!Please!!!Don't do it!!!" They screamed and struggled but it was to no avail and they were plunged into the pond of blood.

"I hereby claim this place as my territory and these three my knights!" Saying so the being took them out of the blood pond, the three of them now completely different, their bodies robust and powerful their eyes sharp.

It was also then that from the being four rays of purple light escaped, three of which marked the three as his knights, and the last beam much thicker than the others shot into the sky, setting a barrier of sorts around the dump and then some, just barely touching Noku's nose, missing by a hairs breath but not without leaving behind a burning sensation as a testament to its power.
