The Big Three
Rush hour
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe group turns around to see creatures made of wood advancing on them. Caleb sets him arms on fire.
"Easy kills!" Caleb sneers back.
The wolves back away scared of the flames on his arms.
"That's right you cowards! Back away!" Caleb yells thumping his chest with a fist.
The creatures lets out a howl and the sound of heavy running fill the air. Markus and Indie turn around to see the same type of creature falling down upon them and running in from the side. Markus spreads out his arms and forces the air to harden around them in a dome. A black dome appears around them knocking the attackers back.
"What the hell are these things?" Caleb asks.
Markus coughs up a bit of blood but manages to say, "I believe these are the timber wolves that I've read about."
"Shit Markus! Take down the dome or you're going to die!" Indie yells going to his friends side and grabbing him.
Markus drops the dome and slumps on his friend's shoulder spewing more blood from his mouth. Caleb turns around and throws his right arm outward flames jetting out and catching one of the wolves on fire. The creature howls in pain before falling and turning into ash almost instantaneously. The creatures in the back jump toward Indie's back. Markus pushes Indie aside and focuses energy into his right hand and throws out a ball of darkness in between the wolves jumping space. He wills it to explode sending the wolves to their doom making splinters fall everywhere.
"Markus!" Indie cries out as his friend falls on his knees from over work.
"That's why I said you need to train more than that mind." Caleb growls.
"D...Don't worry... I'm good. Just keep fighting and don't turn your back to them. I've still got a good amount of blood left. Plus it'll be easy for us to kill them."
Markus stands and forms a circle with each of them facing a way. Indie pulls water from the leaves of the tree around them and makes it flow in front of him in a offensive and defensive stance. Markus forces orbs to form around him full of dark magic. Caleb holds his arms up in a fighting position with his arms a flame.
The wolves pace around them looking for an opening. They decide to attack front on. They pounce at Caleb, but he throws out his arms and burn the two wolves in the air to ashes. A running wolf tries to swipe at his gut, but he reaches around and grabs the arm setting the entire being on fire instantly.
Indie whips out water and cuts the wolves into pieces. A wolf jumps to the right of them and lashes out. The water flows into a column beside him and blocks the attacker. It sinks into the wood and explodes with ice shards where the wolf once stood. It's buddies back up away, but not without getting some wood knocked off by loose shards of ice.
Markus pants and fires off orbs around him near wolves which blow up and shatter them completely. After a fourth one he falls on his knees coughing up a lot of blood. A wolf takes advantage and tries to pounce on top of him. Markus grits his teeth and rolls forward under the wolf. His hand shoots up and presses against the wolf's belly hand glowing black. The wolf freezes above him and a beam shoots through it splitting the beast in two.
With many of the wolves dead, hey back out figuring that the prey is not worth the risks. Caleb and Indie cheer out turning to each other with high fives.
"Man I thought that was going to be worse than what it turned out to be!"
"Same here! I'm glad we made it out ali... oh my god..." Indie stops and stares at the lying body of Markus.
He lies there blood flowing out his mouth.
"He over used! Shit what do we do!" Caleb screams out running to his friend.
"Shit! We got to go back to the town! We've got to get some supplies!"
"No! We can't let them know we're out here!"
"But if we don't go and get supplies he's going to die!"
"Shit! Look around maybe there's something we can use around here!"
Indie rushes of in search of something to help his dying friend. He pushes through the thicket and comes across a little home near a river away from the main town.
This should do!
He takes note of all the creatures around him and to ask Markus about them when he gets back with medical supplies.
"Ponies are like humans. So they have to have medical supplies somewhere!"
Come on think clearer Celestia gave Markus what? What did he give him to make the bleeding stop... I got it!
He begins looking around the house and tearing through things looking for the items. The animals inside of the house quickly run out afraid of the creature within. A rabbit comes up and starts hopping around him madly. The bunny get in his way but he just simply kicks it aside. Nothing is going to stop him from finding the item. He runs upstairs and finds the bathroom. After halfway tearing it up he finds what looks to be what Celestia give Markus. He quickly runs out of the house and towards where he left his friends.
Caleb has flipped Markus on his back and is talking to him as he slowly gives off ragged pants.
"Come on you asshole sit up." Indie says quickly pulling his friend to an up right position.
He open the cap and takes out two pills. It's always been two pills. No one less or more. He shoves the pills down his throat. Markus swallows hard as he lays against his friend.
"Heh... I guess that's all the adventuring for today huh?" Indie asks Caleb.
"Ye...Yea. To think that this would happen so fast is beyond me."
The three boys sit together as the sun falls below them. The three seemed so calm and happy but still feelings shift and waver under the same skies.
Celestia sighs as she stops letting down the sun and starts rising the moon. It's been a while when she had to do both. But since her sister was such a queasy girl she couldn't expect less. It was stupid of her to forget which room is which.
"Celestia! I've received word from Twilight. She says that she's informed the entire town to stay on high alert. She also asks how dangerous are they and where they come from. What should I send her?"
"Don't worry about that I'll send her the letter." Celestia says lifting the moon high into the sky.
Twilight was always curious about everything. But somethings she doesn't really need to know about. Especially humans. Also if the humans where close to them than they would be very dangerous to the elements of harmony's well being. She makes her way to her room when she feels an uneasy presence she knows too well near her.
"Yes Discord?"
"Well good evening Celestia! I see that you've had an interesting day."
"What are you doing here. I would suspect that you would be in your own place of stay not in the royal district of the castle."
"I've just come to see the ruler of Equestria and see what she has to think about the events that have unfolded. Everything seems a bit chaotic don't they?"
Celestia turns and has anger in her eyes and voice.
"Discord if you had any help with their escape!"
"Calm down Celestia. That temper of yours will probably get you in trouble one day. Or worse."
Celestia sighs, "I have no time for this Discord leave me be."
Celestia walks into her room leaving a smiling Discord in the middle of the hallway.
"Aw and I thought she would want to know what her little subject have been up to. As well as her little ponies."
Discord pulls a unread scroll from his mane and drops it into his mouth and starts eating it.
"Oh well."
And with that he folds in on himself and disappears with a puff of smoke.
Even though she was still weak, Luna walks into the personal Library of theirs.
There has to be something other than the fairy tails about humans!
The consistent nagging in her head makes her want to know more and more about the so call species of human. She wasn't to sure, but they had to have more purpose than to... She takes in a deep breath as the thought of that room appears in her mind for a second time this day. She flies up to the third section row of where Celestia usually reads her books and gets most of them. Luna had never had a real reason to come up this far to read, but things always change. Always.
"It has to be here somewhere."
"Looking for something Princess?" A familiar voice calls out.
Luna jumps and turns to see the library's assistant.
"Oh! Um... yes but you have to keep it quiet from Celestia..." Acting less nervous than she actually was.
"Of course Princess. What type of book is it?"
"A historical book of humans."
The librarian thinks for a moment if trying to decide from right and wrong.
"This way..." She says even more softly from before.
Her duty as a librarian to the princesses where to follow the orders of theirs. But she has always been the librarian for Luna so that would make Celestia's commands obsolete. Right? She takes Luna to the far corner of Celestia's personal library. She grabs a lamp on the table and pulls it to the side using her magic and reveals a section behind two bookshelves of old dusty tomes. Luna takes one of the tomes off the shelf to read the title. "The great Race of Mankind".
"Thank you." Luna says as she lays down and begins her reading.
"You're welcome." The librarian says walking away to finish up some last minute checking of book's stats.
