BOOOOM!!!
The forest trembled with great might as it shook very violently. What was causing the forest to shake and tremble were a group of 4 men dressed in black chasing another man in white.''𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸!!'' Shaun was fighting against the four men in black but it could be seen that it was a losing battle. ''𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦''.
Shaun's hands moved quickly in the air drawing several Runes with his mouth moving just as fast. Tens of swords made of wind magic quickly appeared in the air. Shaun used all the mana he could muster up to make these swords as destructive as possible. Seeing this one of the men in black rushed forward with the other ones behind him.
Large chunks of rock and earth flew out from under the ground and melded together to form a big wall.
BOOOOM!!
The swords collided with the wall of earth. Most of the swords were stopped but some slipped through and ripped apart the earth mage and another behind him. Shaun quickly used wind magic to accelerate himself toward the last remaining mages. He pulled out a magnificent looking sword with green gemstones embedded within and rushed towards the remaining mage's.
Shaun's sword swiftly teared through one of the mages torso with blood and guts spraying everywhere. Shaun payed no attention to that as he looked towards the last mage. The last mage had a metallic device in his hand. As Shaun saw this he felt like his heart had dropped. He couldn't allow the mage to continue what he was doing. If he did Shaun knew that his chances of living were going to instantly fall to rock bottom.
HAAAAA!
Shaun rapidly flew toward the last mage he couldn't allow him to call for help. Shaun's sword lit up with a deadly green light as it teared through the last mage's arm. He could feel his sword cut through the muscle and bone as it finally teared off the entire arm. The mage in black let out a terrible scream as blood flowed out of his arm but he wouldn't scream for long as a sword was lodged through his throat silencing him forever.
Shaun let out a sigh of relief but he needed immediate medical care as there were long pieces of rock lodged into his arms and legs with parts also being burnt. Shaun knew that as long as he reached the village he would be fine but he didn't know if he could make it.
He started walking in that direction but he was assaulted by a strong sense of weakness and drowsiness. He didn't know how long he was walking but it felt like an eternity. ''𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨''. ''𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨''. Shaun kept repeating over and over in his head because he knew once he stopped moving it was over for him.
After walking for some more he came to the edge of the forest with the village being seen in the distance. He almost wanted to cry as he knew he made it. At this point he couldn't keep his drowsiness at bay and fell asleep on the cold hard ground....
On this eventful day Isaiah was following his daily routine in which he got up very early in the morning to feed the cattle, clean the shed and make breakfast for his family. Isaiah had two younger siblings' his little sister Rachel and his younger brother Evan. Since Isaiah was the oldest sibling he had a lot of responsibility but he knew it was his job as the older sibling. Rachel was 6 years old with Evan being 4 years old. Isaiah himself was 7 years.
With there being mana in the environment though they were much stronger than children on earth. For example the bodies of people here matured faster, their brains developed quicker, and their lifespans were longer.
''Brother where are you going''! Rachel said. ''I am just going to get some fire wood I'll be back soon''. ''Can I come with you please I've been a good girl'' Rachel said? Isaiah thought about it and decided that it would be safe enough for her to come with him. ''Okay but just this once''. Isaiah was very protective of his siblings and never wanted them to get hurt. Since both of their parents died very early on Isaiah is like a parent figure to them. All three of the siblings were raised by the village after their parents death which was how they survived until now.
Rachel and Isaiah continued on the path to the forest. After walking for a while Isaiah felt very uneasy but since he didn't see anything he ignored it. After filling up his basket with fire wood Isaiah planned to go back but that's when he heard a scream come from Rachel.
AHHH!
RACHEL!!! Isaiah sprinted towards her he praying that nothing bad happened to her. After arriving Rachel clung to him not wanting to let go. ''Its okay I'm here'' Isaiah calmly reassured her. ''What's wrong'' Isaiah asked. He then saw Rachel point to a person. The person was laying on the floor with injuries all over him. Isaiah told Rachel to look away as he approached the body to see if it was living. He grabbed a piece of fire wood from his bag and slowly poked the person to see if they were still alive.
Isaiah saw that there was no reaction and told Rachel to call the villagers for help. After a while the village chief and some other men from the village came to see what was going on. The village chief walked over and performed a magic of some kind as a blue light appeared on the person on the floor.
The man's wounds slowly started healing. It wasn't anything fast as you could barely see it but that was still amazing. The village chief told the men to carry him to the local clinic and they did just so.
The village chief was a kind old man with gray hair who appeared to be in his 60's. You've done a very good deed here today Isaiah and Rachel. This man might've died if not for you two. The old man appeared to look calm on the outside but in his head he was thinking 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦?
