Rise of the Elementals

Alex reached the mountains, which now were a lot smaller than he had hoped, but he ran up the mountain-side, all while hearing the wolfs behind him.

He came to the top of the mountain much quicker than he expected, and quicker than he had hoped. Instead of being able to hide behind a large boulder or something, his speed forced him to keep running down the other side of the mountain.

"No no no, fuck fuck fuck!" He shouted as he ran uncontrollably down the mountain.

The wolves came to a brief stop as they came to the top of the mountain, but they quickly continued their pursuit, but they had left a large gap between themselves and Alex, who had no idea about what was happening behind him.

As he had come half-way down the mountain he saw a town not too far away.

"Yes, if I can get there. Maybe these things won't follow." He said to himself.

Alex, destroy them. We both know you can do it. You want to. But you are holding yourself back. Unleash your rage upon them. Make them suffer. The voice said in his head.

"I'd love to, but I can't really stop right now." Alex said as he sped down the mountain.

He came to the base of the mountain and regained control of his speed.

"Fuck, that could've gone bad." He said as he panted, now as exhaustion got to him.

He sprinted towards the town, he was only a hundred meters away as he could heart the wolfs behind him again. And now that he was tired he noticed they were catching up on him.

He suddenly felt as if time slowed down, and it sounded as if the universe shouted for him to jump; So he did. And moments after he left the ground he saw one of the wolf's large paw swing beneath him.

He landed and continued to run into the town, but unfortunately for him the wolves didn't care in the slightest.

He ran straight into the town, where he saw strange little horses run around and scream. He would question it, but he'd save it for later.

He made a quick step to the side and turned and threw himself in behind a house. The wolves ran past him, but one crashed straight into the house he was hiding behind.

He stared the beast in the eyes as it got onto its feet after its collision.

"Oh shit..." He said as his mind immediately tried to find a way out of the situation.

The wolf lunged towards him, jaws wide open. Alex once again felt time slow down around him, and he could see every detail on the beast's body.

Destroy it! The voice in his mind shouted, and he felt his emotions take control over his body.

He felt his body become warmer, his head became clear of all thoughts. And he lifted his arms up to block the wolf as it attacked him.

He felt his muscles tense up, and he saw the most spectacular thing in his entire life.

His hands and wrists became enveloped in flames and as they made contact with the wolf's wooden body it burst into flames.

It howled in agony and ran away as a blazing ball of light.

His senses returned to him, and the fire went out.

"What the hell was that?"

Your true power. Use it, destroy these low creatures. Show them who you are. The voice echoed in his head.

He walked out into the middle of the town where he saw six ponies fight against the remaining four wolves.

"Okay, showtime." Alex said and ran up behind the wolves. He instinctively knew how to re-light his hands, and as soon as he did he jumped onto one of the wolves. He stood on it as it turned its head to look at him, but as it did he jumped up into the air, using a sudden burst of fire to gain some extra height, and then smashing down into the wolf, which turned it into a burning pile of ash and sticks.

The three remaining wolves turned towards Alex and growled loudly.

But he just got a fighting stance and smirked.

"Bring it." The first wolf jumped towards him, but he easily smashed its head with his flaming fist. The remaining two walked in two directions and circled him.

"Heh, bad move." Alex said mockingly as he made a quick spin, shooting long flames from his hands which hit the wolves and forced them to retreat.

He felt his body becoming completely drained of power and his vision blurred.

"Awh, come on. Not again." He complained before he fell onto his knees.

He put his hands on the ground in front of him to support his body. He felt his stomach ache before he was overcome by a feeling of absolute awfulness. He felt like throwing up, passing out and exploding, all at the same time.

He heard voices beside him, before one of the ponies walked up to him.

"Oh my, are you alright? Do you need help?" He heard a careful voice beside him.

He looked up and saw a yellow pony with a pink mane look at him with worried eyes.

"What the fuck?" He said silently.

"I'm sorry. I didn't quite hear that..." The pony said shyly.

"Uhh, I'm fine." He said as his mind went crazy over the strange shit that was going on.

She's trouble, kill her. He heard the voice say in his head.

He looked at the small pony, and for the first time in his entire life, he felt like he didn't want to kill the person he had just met.

Something inside him had changed, he felt uncomfortably light-hearted. But he knew he wasn't that good.

"Well, if you're certain. But can you stand up?" The pony said.

"... yeah" He said and got onto his feet. He felt everything in his stomach move around and he felt like throwing up again.

"Ugh" He said and placed a hand on his stomach.

He tried to take a small step, but fell onto his knees. His hearing disappeared, and his vision darkened. Before he passed out.
