The large dire wolf snarled as it saw looked around at its underwings lifeless bodies. It opened its mouth and collected a large amount amount of Aero Magic.

"Hehe, it worked but guess it wasn't enough, funny how things work out." Carson fell to the ground and watched as the ball of Aero magic grew with each passing second.

He watched as Camelot dropped to his knees and tears streamed down his face. He looked at the Albino Dire Wolf with terror on his face.

'I don't want to die…' he fell down and looked at the ground in despair. 'I don't wanna die…I don't wanna die…please'

"Ugh shut your whining all I said was funny how things worked out,still have one more trick up my sleeve, heh heh." Carson gave the trembling boy a pat on his back before standing up.

"Well I should've been honest this is my last bit of mana so might need to use it wisely." Carson collected his mana at a slow pace before closing his eyes. His hands formed different symbols as a blue magic circle appeared in front of him.

"Summoning: Sapphire Water King"

A bright light flashed and blinded the Albino wolf. The magic it collected disappated, it jumped back weary of the magic. It looks duo and saw a massive small house sized blue fish with wings. It looked similar to a sword fish with angel wings.

"SKRRRRRRRAAAAAAA"

The Salphire Water King rose in to the air as it screeched, unfurling its massive wings across the forest. The Albino Direwolf growled as it paced back and forth.

Camelot lifted his head to the sky and saw the giant fish as it stood before the wolf. He look at Carson who was pale as he put on a massive smile.

"See you gotta….have….fai-" Carson stopped mid way and flew into a coughing fit. He looked down at his hand and saw it had splotches of blood. He gritted his teeth and balled his fist.

"Hydro Magic: Weapon Enchantment"

He pushed Camelot behind him as his sword became coated in blue aura. "Just stay behind me and we'll finish this off quickly. Ready Lay-Lay?" He looked towards to flying fish as it nodded.

"AWOOOOO!"

The Albino Dire Wolf growled and charged towards Carson. Carson sent out several Water Shots towards the white beast but they were dodged effortlessly. The wolf quickly reached Carson and used a Wind Shot to launch him in the air.

The Water King rushed over and caught Carson as he tumbled in the air. "Tch, let's end this with one move. Lets do this, use Water Drill!" Carson leaped off the back of the beast as it became covered in Hydro Magic.

It began spinning at a rapid pace as the Magic covered its body. It descended at a rapid speed toward the Albino Wolf. Fearing for its life the latter launched several Wind Shot and Wind Razors in effort to deter the attack.

The Sapphire Water Kings sharp beak stabbed deep into the wolf's should causing it to collapse. Carson began spinning rapidly wish his sword in hand forming a blue human tornado.

The wolf looked on with wide eyes as Carson neared it. The blade sliced the wolf's head clean off as it tumbled onto the grass. Seeing the dismembered part brought relief to Carson as he dropped to his knees, exhausted.

"SKRAA SKRAAA SKRAAAA"

The Sapphire Water King flew around in the air as it screeched in victory. Soon after it landed next to Carson and lifted him onto its back. Right after it flew over to Camelot and waited as he climbed up.

Not long after they took off in the direction that Tru ran towards. Along the way they saw broken trees, several small craters and a corpse of a Orange Saber.

"Do you think he made it out ok?" Camelot looked in worry as that passed through the battlefield. He worry deepened when didn't see Tru anywhere around.

"He I wouldn't worry too much about that bastard, he's like a rat. Hard to kill. I'm sure he made it out fine, either way we follow along this down this river and it'll take us too Wanderers Fog. Maybe we'll see him there. Though until we arrive in going to rest."

Carson spoke in a low voice before closing his eyes. Camelot looked down into the river lost in thought as they flew past.

*********************

A large brown boar walked up to a bank near the river. It drank for a bit when it looked around and saw two bodies laying next to the water. It walked over and saw one was a man and the was the rotting corpse of a Orange Saber.

The Giant Boar sniffed the man when he started moving around. Sensing danger the boar left and disappeared into the thicket of the forest. Tru sat up slowly holding his head from intense pain.

"….disgustingly….weak"

Tru looked around as that same voice rang in his ears. But looked around and saw nothing or anyone. He looked down at the Black Bracelet.

"How can you talk? Also why do you keep insulting me! You act like I want to be this 'helpless', damn give me a break! Agh, my head!"

Tru fell to the ground as he clutched his head which was wringing in pain. He remembered the messages from the System as the pain subsided.

"Remind me to never do that again. When something says locked just let it stay locked." He rose to his feet as he looked around and saw the body rotting next to him.

"Great there goes my meal for the day, ugh just my luck. Need to find food fast." Tru rubbed his hurting stomach as he walked to river and drank some water. Not long after a Turquoise Doe appeared on the other side of the from the bushes.

Tru looked up and drool fell from his lips as the bracelet changed to Standard mode. The doe drank peacefully till its head shot up and stared back at the drooling maniac.

"Ke ke ke"

The doe darted off into the woods and disappeared from Tru's sight. He chased ran after it as it tried to escape. "Oh you aren't gonna get away that easy you bastard. You are mine! Hahahahahha!"

Hearing Tru's laughter caused the doe to speed up out of fear. It came to a large cave and disappears onto the darkness. Tru entered in behind it. He ran for a bit as a bright light came into view.

He stepped into it and saw a massive green orchard with a large oak tree in the middle

. The tree was surrounded by flowers of different colors such as green, blue, orange and red.

The flowers had mana particles flowing from them and to the tree. Though upon further inspection Tru could see a large nest with a giant black egg sitting in it.

"Woah what is this place, not even the map has this listed on it. Plus these flowers I've never seen them before, what are they?"

Tru walked around in awe at the beautiful sight, he neared the tree when he spotted the doe. He lunged at it while the doe retaliated by kicking him square in his stomach.

Tru dropped to the ground gasping for air as the doe ran out the Orchard back out the cave.

*cough* *cough* *wheeze* he coughed so hard that his nose bled. He wiped it away with his shirt.

'Ok note to self, kill doe when physically able.' He grumbled as his stomach continued rumbling when he spotted the egg. He rubbed his hands together greedily.

"Well I don't see anyone around who se going to miss this so you will be my food" Tru approached the egg and picked it up. He held it for a moment when it started glowling dimly.
