Far from any human civilisations and inhabitants, hidden in the most dark cave Losorius, embedded in rotten fresh and maggots all over and covered in a golden lining, with several beast lurking all around...a Demi-god was present...

The year was 1089, and the continent was peaceful...every field was blossoming with crops all over, all families where happy and taking care of their crops and well-being...

In a certain village named canaan, a group pf expeditors where preparing to head out for the ruins of losorius...

Their leader, ignatius was a 70 year old man with a roughly build shape, and had only some leather like amor on him and a bastard sword hung on the side...

Ignatius is an elder in canaan and the leader of the expedition team...together with his wife elen, they had tried their best to have a child in vain...and felt desperate for so long...

Elen is also an elder in canaan and is in charge with every farming related business and clothing production...she had lived in canaan since birth and is familiar with the way of life and the villagers.

Clothing in canaan is not amounting to much, basically everyone is having leather dresses and in winter periods, they produce more leather and thick dresses to keep them warm.

The village in total amounted to only a few few thousand men and women with their kids and activities were divided in 5 categories: we have the hunting and fishing, exploration, farming and clothing, social affaires and the last was army.

For the army or the village defences, most youths ranging from 10 years were picked up and trained for the defences only some few ones who donot show strong builds will be in charge of farming, on the other hand, on reaching 10 years old, several children will be blessed by the gods and receive a power that will belong to them, in order to protect or help them hunt...eventhough many still use them to create problems.

There are in total 5 gods; The strongest of them, the Lightning god, the sea god, the death god, the Flora god(also known as plant god), the Fauna god(the animal god), ultimately everyone had different abilities even from the same god...

food was scarce and a problem to inhabitants in the land they lived...so they had enforced some laws on the village especially with regards to reproduction, and no family was to have more than 3 children.

"At Ignatius's hut"

Elen: Have you taken every thing you need, your dagger, and all the medicine herbs you need too...'said with a worried expression'

ignatius: i have everything, donot worry, every thing will be fine .'gives out a light smile'

Elen: please come back to me, i dont have any thing to hold on to, you are every thing i have so promise me you will come back... 'says with tears running down her fair cheeks'

ignatius: okay i promise... 'gave a light kiss on her forhead, and left the hut'

''outside the village, the other men for the exploration had gathered. They were 11 in total, well armed and psychologically ready for they knwe death was inevitable.''

Ignatius: everyone come over...

"they all gatthered quickly"

okay, i believe everyone is well aware of what is waiting for us in losorius...its a very dangerous place and full of monsters, our objective is to collect plants and hunt down animals around that zone that can serve as food for everyone...so goodluck...

after the speech, everyone packed up and another built up figure approached ignatius, this was his friend and vice leader of the team, Morpheus.

Morpheus: Old friend, hope we can really make it this time without casualities, i really want to see my wife back and my kids...'smiles'

ignatius: yes, as usual am counting on you to have my back...'smiles'

Morpheus: yeah...i will

Ignatius and Morpheus were major forces in the team, because they were the only ones blessed by the gods, fauna god to be more precise...the rest of the team where basically only strength from their training and experience.

At the early rise of the sun they all set out for the Losorius...

The journey to losorius, encompassed of 2 different areas to be crossed...beside Canaan, there was a large river to the west, to the north was the sinister forest, to the south was the stony valley, so they had to cross the stony valley, which did not really have many dangers, and afterwards reaching the land of caves, losorius...

The journey to valley of stones would take 2 days only without rest and horses was not a commodity they could afford in the village, so they journey was made on foot...

with extreme precaution they watched over everyone taking turns at night to guard their sleep. During their cross over to the land of caves, they did not encounter any beast or anything of that sort...so peace reigned among them...

late in the evening

'In the Team'

veteran talking: Sir Ignatius, we have arrive the land of caves!!! but something is strange, the sinister presence of mythical beast often heard about from this place, can't be felt...

Ignatius: let's continue, maybe something has happen here...stay alert for ambushes by beasts or wolves."this is strange it feels like there are no beast or they have all dissappeared..."

morpheus: i don't like this, let's be vigilant...'nods as he looks ignatius nodding back'

Everyone drew out their swords and continued forward...

Infront of them were several caves and they could feel unease because because of the type of aura coming from them except one on their left that instead felt strangely calm...

ignatius: okay guys, we shall first explore the one on the left, if we don't find anything then we can go to the rest...

'everybody nodded in acceptance'

"They all entered the cave as a group, due to the darkness, they lighted 3 stick torches and walked in a 3:4:4 position and a torch stick from top to bottom..."

"The more the entered the more the place began to light up..."

veteran 1: sir, i can see many plants here, and some savage fruits here too...'face lights up'

veteran 2: here too...i can see many plants...and they seem fresh. 'said with a bright smile'

at the sound of the news, everyone got excited and happy...

Ignatius: okay, don't be distracted...gather the ones that are eatable, gather the plants that are useful, we shall used a preservation drug on it when we leave this cave...

Yes sir "they all responded"

"ignatius was somehow triggered to what is beyond and left the crew to search forward.

As he was moving, he did not realiaed he was gradually isolating himself from every one...

His friend morpheus noticed it and decided to follow slowly behind..."

"At the end of the cave, was an intense light that flashed through the eyes of ignatius and morpheus behind...preventing their sight for some minutes before it adjusted back to normal...

at the sight of what was infront, they both kneeled in grace...

Ignatius: o gods...this....err...i have never seen before.

morpheus: ignatius, are those mini Cherubins?

ig: indeed, but it seems there is something else with them, like a human child...

" they remain in awe of the beauty of these mythical beings and the appearance of their sparkling presence and dresses."

" the column of glow protecting the child of 1year old, levitated him into the hands of the ignatius, and as it touched him, the glow burst off."

Mini cherubin 1: Ignatius seems to be your name...this child you should cherish him and protect him...he has a great destiny. So in your hands, i leave him, i hope i have not made the wrong decision.

ignatius turned back and looked at morpheus with tears in his eyes

ig: yes, i will do my best to nucture this child and help him become grow adequqtely...i promise... 'said with all emotions'

Morpheus: i will help too...

mch2: okay, he will be in your care then...he is special...

"both looked at each other with confused face"

mch1: umm....you will know when the time comes.

mch1 and 2: now leave fast because the seal preventing the beast from attacking this area will be lifted shortly...

they both carried the child and left to join the group...

Leaving the deep cave...

after walking for a while, ignatius stops and talks to morpheus without turning back at him.

ig: i know i dont have to ask you this type of favour, but please can you keep what happen here between us. I don't want the team to panique nor even the people in the village...

morph: 'sighs' okay no problem, i understand...but what are you going to them about the kid.

ig: let's hjust say we found him in the hands of a male corpse for now, and that he seem to have survived for like 2 days...

morph: okay, it sounds reasonable. Let's go back then...

Ig: hey morph, thank you, "turns to morpheus with a smile"

After a while...

Both caught up with the team...seeing igantius with a child on his back, everyone was intrigued and wanted to clear tgeir doubts.

Finally a mber broke the silence...

veteran5: sir, we finished gathering the herbs and other plants, we also succeeded in killing a few rabbits and some boars which we have sliced and gather up the meat. " talks while staring at the sleeping child"

Ig:'sighs' okay. great work everyone. I found this child deep into the cave. in the hands of a dead corpse, and he seemed alive so i brought him with me. Is anyone body having a question or an objection?

Team: no sir.

Ig: okay then, pack everuthing up we are living, this place is not safe.

Boom boom boom,

crumbling crumbling..

Everyone ran out swiftly as the cave was crumbling on them. A few had some minor injuries but none were killed or lost.

They successfully left the land of caves with encountering any main problems.

Arriving the valley of stones...

They stopped and use a preservation drug liquid on the meat and plants so they wont get bad.

Ig: Listen everyone! morpheus will take the lead, since am quite occupided in handling the child.

Morph: hey waot ignatius. you can still handle some things even with the child, dont juat give me all these responsibility stuff like that...'answers with furrowed brows'

Ig: its not like am going anywhere , i just need you to monitor the areas and control the group while am focused somewhere else. 'actually this child has yet to wake up and its troubling making thinking difficult'

Morph: okay, if thats how it is...i accept...

we shall camp here tonight and rest up. You, you shall stand guard first. The rest of you , rest well. we have a hard day tommorrow.

yes sir! "eveyone screamed out

As they where sleeping, all of suddden, a pack of 12 shadow wolves. The difficulties with this type of beast is that they are difficult to runaway from...so confrontation is the only option.

Awoo...awoo... grrrr..grrr..

A ray of light flashed through ignatius and morphius head and they both woke up.

ig: morpheus' go wake up the team and prepare for battle...i think i sensed 12 of them..

morph: attention everyone, we are underattack., wolves have circled us...braze yourself and take up your weapons. Everyone in formation, Now!!

chang chang chang

"shield and swords drawn"

morph: captain move to the back with the child, we will handle it.

Ign: roger that!!

"Immediately the wolves came out of the bushes around they launched a mass attack on the team, but not matter their efforts they could not get pass the shield..."

"with little efforts, the team member started their kill. one, two, four, eight, eleven... died, only their leader was remaining."

Roar Roar Roar...

veteran 8: that wolf seems angry...

veteran 2: do you feel the aura coming from him, he will be harder to deal with... what the hell... he's towards us...

whoosh...

tshhh....ahhhh ...ahhh

"Then wolf king charged at them with an fierce strength and sliced the shield of the veterans, their sword broke on his skin, showing how tough he was..."

veteran 4: he is too strong...run!!

morph: stay calm and step back, i will handle this myself...

clang shang....

"morpheus threw his sword and shield and began to release a great aura from his body, he instantly transform in to a silver head Ape 7 feets tall possessing a huge build and strong claws...at the sight of the beast infront of it, the wolf king quivered and trembled, not making a single step."

Discussions discusssions...

veteran 1: We finally see it, the power bestow by the Fauna god, Beast modification...

vet 5: how scary!!!

Vet4: I heard our captain's beast tranformation look more like a fierce tiger...

Vet1: out of all the elders, our captain is only second to the first elder in terms of strength..

"The blasted wind surges forwrd backward, constantly pressuring the other veterans but not affecting the captain."
