In a glorious stadium filled with lights of different colors spreading out lighting up the hole place, the praise of the audience lifted to the sky. Filled with thrill and excitement the audience rejoiced for they were about to a match of two beasts. "Welcome all of you to the match of the titans" the announcer said with upmost grace and excitement, "Introducing our first competitor, he has proven to a beast in the ring a man of his words one we all know as..." screams of excitement filled the air as the rays of light converged at one end of the stadium, "THE BULL." A big man came of the shadows covered with a black cloak hiding his face, as he approached the ring he slowly took of the cloak revealing his dark intimidating eyes accompanied by his masculine structure and bald head. He smiled and pointed at the audience making them scream with joy and excitement. "And his challenger, the boy who has climbed up the ladder with less blood", the whole place was struck with a loud silence, "The boy wonder AXEL", As his name was mentioned a black hair boy came out from the other end of the stadium. His presence filled the air with an ominous aura and chills run down the spines of the audience. To see this Black haired boy again was like "hell come to earth". Axel raised his head revealing his red eyes which spoke out for itself, the killer instinct which hid within his eyes.
As the announcer gave the signal The Bull threw the first punch only for it to be dodged by Axel and replied with a strong punch in the stomach. Axel continued by kicking the side of his neck leaving him in an unstable state. Before he could recover Axel gave him an uppercut which knocked him out. Axel sighed in disappointment and left after he was declared the winner. As he left he was approached by a Black man who offered him a chance in the big league, but he declined and left.
As he headed home he came across a woman screaming for help as she was being assaulted by five men, but he ignored and went on. He entered a house hidden in a dense fog, an upon his arrival he was told to kneel by a feminine voice hidden in the shadows. "And where has this one been?" she asked, "I was in the Sta...." "Silence!!! I give u free, and you add "DOM" to it." A silver haired woman wearing a red robe came out of the shadows near a Conner and looked at him with her dark eyes, and he bowed his head. She brought out a white ball "You know what this is right?" Axel broke a cold sweat and she smiled. "Your soul is still with me so as that of your beloved sister. Disobey me again and she dies." Axel nodded. "Now I'm giving you a portion of your soul use it to get me the white wolf's strongest hunter and if you fail...." "I will not Queen Rose." A light grin creeped on her face, and she pulled a sting of magic from his soul and gave it to him. Axel was covered in a dark smoke and the sound of a wild animal came from his location.
Rose was a beast ward, a type of mage which specialized in magic beasts and beast magic. But she also specialized in soul magic which allowed her to take and control the souls of her victims which made her a very dangerous woman, with the soul of Axel which she claims to be the soul of the beast king, her aim is to rule the world. This was simply because the soul of the beast king is said to be consumable and with it comes great power.
In the radiant forest where green plants flourished and the balance of nature thrived, a hunt took place. A herd of bulls sped away from three big wolves each the size of a pickup truck. The wolves surrounded them and targeted three but were interrupted by the voice of a young girl with white long hair a white tail and blue eyes, she wore a fur cloth which covered her lower body to her knees and a white fur shirt. She stood on a rock above the plains on which the wolves were hunting, she jumped and in a flash killed all the bulls. " There that's how it's done." The other wolves transformed into men and looked at her angrily. "Flare, how many times have we told you to work...." "But I killed them didn't I?" Flare said with disrespect and turned away "when you need me come to the edge of the forest" she left, as one of the men tried to stop her the others stopped him.
As Flare sat on a rock at the edge of the forest she thought to herself why the wolves of the clan hated her methods of hunting. She looked up to the sky and used her fingers to trace a star symbol in thin air then her eyes glowed making sparks of lightning surround her fingers. Her ears twitched, and she heard something move in the bushes she took a closer look and saw a big black wolf tail, she traced it only to find a big black wolf with red eyes look at her. She gasped out of fear, but the wolf run away. She followed it is a house and heard the voice of a woman scolding someone. Flare took a look and saw Axel being bullied by Rose. She jumped in and told Rose to stop, but she smiled, and told Axel that he did well bringing her a white wolf. Flare lunged at Rose but was slammed to a wooden wall which broke down revealing the lifeless body of Axel's sister. He looked at it and tears dropped from his eyes as he remembered all the times he played with her. His eyes glowed red and his soul also changed to red. Rose was terrified as the soul of Axel returned to his body. He then shouted in agony as red marks formed a tattoo on his body from his hands to a red gem on his chest. A ray of light covered him and he transformed into a dragon. He went on a rampage and after some time flew to the sky facing the moon as it's light shined on him, he closed his eyes and transformed back to his human state. Rose shot him with a magical bullet on his head, but it was deflated. Axel looked down at Rose and pointed at her. Suddenly hundreds of snakes covered her and bit her to death. Flare amazed by this watched in awe as his glorious form made her body shiver she fled back to the forest. Soon Axel fell from the sky into a river which took him to a beach on an island.
To be continued
After the incident with Axel, Flare went to the Alpha of the white wolf clan and told him the incident he was shocked to hear that, a human that had the power of multiple beasts, could he be a beast ward or was he just a random mage with control and shifter abilities. The Alpha then called a meeting among the various beast clans, who were all shocked to here is the news as well. The pride king of the golden lion clan said "If such a human exists then we should destroy him"," Your greed has no bounds does it Lilian King the chief of the snake clan said, "Instead of you to look at the possibility that the human could be the legendary beast king." the snake chief said, "And if he is not, will we put our clans in danger just because of some stupid curious assumptions." the Alpha said looking at Flare. "Flare what did you see?" the Alpha said "A boy with red eyes, black hair and weird tattoos. He also had a red gem on his chest which was on tattoo which looked like a dragon.". The leaders of each clan looked at her with fear. "That's him the beast king I told you." The snake chief said. The Lord of the sky, also known as the king of the bird clan who had sat in complete silence got of his seat and walked slowly to her then. His sharp gaze pierced hers and her heart started to tremble. "Do you know who you just met"he asked, Flare shook her head, "The beast king is powerful being, so powerful that he can transfer his soul to another just to keep himself alive. The boy wasn't the beast king but a vessel, something like a pupa for him, and he used his power. Tell me child did he transform into a dragon?", she nodded. The Lord of the sky laughed a "You met the one true monster of this world. Tell me child what happened to him?". "He fell from the sky right after his energy blew him up.", she replied. "Let's hope that he is alive, so we could purge this world of this monstrosity."
On Chimera island, a happy and joyful place, a boy screamed the name of Axel over and over until he saw him standing on the edge of a very tall tree. He called the other villagers in a rush and they came to watch."Axel get down from there.", a woman shouted "I know I can do it this time, all I need to do is......" "Just get down from there please", the woman pleaded. Axel ignored them and closed his eyes, he then imagined a bird and jumped, as he fell he opened his eyes and white eagle wings emerged from his back and he flew majestically in the sky. As he flew higher he saw the wide river that surrounded the island and how small the Village was in comparison. He also saw another Island not quiet far from his own and decided to go there and see if he can get back in time. He opened his wings and he dashed to the island like a bolt of lightning but he couldn't stop himself and crashed into a a wolf girl.
Flare walked around the forest contemplating about what happened two years ago, but couldn't come to accept that the great beast king was being bullied by a woman, a human to be more specific. As she wondered she was bumped into without warning by an unknown flying object. As they rolled she came to realize that it was human, but she smelled that sent of an eagle from him. As they landed Flare realized that she was sitting on the human in a rather shameful position. She blushed and got up in a haste only to realize that it was Axel, she jumped back and showed her claws in an attempt to attack. Axel apologized and looked at her and said "You are a member of the white wolf clan aren't you?", "And you are.....that person", she said. "Which person?", he asked, "The......wait you don't remember, ...........", he looked at her in confusion "Two years ago", "Hey wolf girl I don't know what this is all about, but I have to go". They suddenly hear a loud hissing accompanied by a light growl, Axel takes Flare and hides in a nearby bush. "What is wrong with you", she said "Shut it, want to get us killed, that's a jomungund" he said silently "what where", she asked. Axel pointed at two horn like structures with a flap of thick skin between them, she pressed on his body with fear for she had never encountered a jomungund before. The beast then came out of the ground like a drill and stood. It was a long four legged snake like beast with an exoskeleton that resembled a body armor with two fangs like structures at each side of the mouth, it had a two horn like structures at the back with a flap of skin between them. The tongue of the beast came out and touched the ground, the beast turned it head and looked at the direction where the two where hiding. "Hey wolf girl I want you to attack the flap of skin between the horns on its back" Flare dashed and used her claws to cut through the skin of the beast, it roared in pain and dug its way into the ground and shot itself up to the position of Flare. Axel flew up and caught her "Nice wolf girl" "it's Flare" "Axel, look the beast can't take a direct hit, so I'll lunch you to the head and hit it with all you got okay", she nodded, Axel lunched her, and she hit the head, Axel also hit the head of the beast, but his hit made much of an impact than hers. The jomungund fell to the ground and died instantly
The two walked for a bit with both parties not saying a word to each other, for Flare it was pure confusion and fear of what happened two years ago. But for Axel it was a problem of choosing the right words to say to prevent any misunderstanding. Axel finally maned up and asked why she was there alone. Flare didn't answer but looked at him as if he were a villain with no good intentions. Axel then turned his head to the opposite side in shame and regret. "I'm the wolf clan's strongest hunter but no one seems to acknowledge that." she said quietly. Axel saw this as a chance to start a conversation "Well I'm not a part of the wolf clan so I can't judge, but from what I've seen today you are kinda good.", he said smoothly. Flare looked at him and asked why he was even there, "I feel like you don't like me, why did something happen before regarding the two of us which I don't remember", he said as she shook her head. "Then why.......... you know forget it, the corpse of the jomungund is all yours, your clan won't need to hunt for some time but I want the horn on its back." he said "why would you want it" she asked, "My dear I'm a mage with the ability to use the powers of any beast I know more about why won't I want a piece of the jomungund?" " Mmmm" " Just give it to me." They went back to where the corpse of the jomungund was and she used her claws to cut out the horns on its back, Axel then told her her that the beast was a young one and was surprised to see on in a forest. Flare held the beast by its fang and draged it away, as Axel spread his wings she turned to him and said "Hey Axel let's meet some more okay", Axel was surprised to hear that because he did most of the talking during their conversation but still turned and gave her a smile before flying into the sunset.
To Be Continued
Time went by and Axel and Flare got to get well, but it came to the notice of the Alpha that she wasn't consistent in the clan, so he decided to spy on her. He sent a group of shadow dogs to trace he whereabouts. Shadow dogs were a special unit in the white wolf clan that had the ability to blend with colors like a chameleon, aside that they were excellent hunters and were trained to have no remorse, and brutally executed their targets. In the beautiful trees of the forest a tree which coined itself to look like a heart had two people sitting in it, Axel and Flare. They were sitting in the tree chatting. Flare asked a sudden question "Axel do you ever think about the fact that you were a once a monster?", "Never.", he responded "You know ever since we became friends you always had a scared look in your eyes, do you fear me?", he asked, "No, but you remind me of someone, he was a very powerful person who had no form of mercy, his sister was the trigger to his great power he looked just like you." she explained "Hm was he that strong and scary to make you fear me?". Just before she was able to give an answer a black arrow came flying at them, Axel dodged and saw the shadow dogs, he jumped, and his wings sprouted out as well as his claws he dashed to them but realized he was tricked by the shadow dogs, he was hit to the ground and was knocked out.
Axel woke up chained to a wall surrounded by the hole wolf pack. They looked at him in awe and disgust. Suddenly a loud howl was heard, and all everyone bowed down their heads while creating a space for the celebrant, Axel looked straight and saw a young man with wild white hair, a white wolf tail, bizarre eyes and claws which look like they can cut through steel. He was the mighty wolf prince Blanc. As he approached Axel he looked in his eyes and asked "Why were you with my Flare?", "Your Flare, she is yours I'm kinda shocked to hear that.", he responded, "Hm the cocky type huh, is your bark as strong as your bite.", he raised his claws in an attempt to strike him but was held by Flare. "Who gave you permission to strike him?", she said as her eyes glowed blue with rage. Axel smiled a little. Flare looked at Blanc with fury as light blue aura creeped from her body, before a catastrophic event could take place, the Alpha came in breaking the noise that filled the place, filling the hole area with a loud silence and a very uncomfortable aura. Axel knew that this wasn't a some easy opponent, but he wasn't ready to die by his hand. The Alpha walked slowly to him and asked him calmly "What are you doing here, human?", "I came to visit a friend, have a problem with that?", he said rudely "Cocky one I see, I have no intention of talking your bullshit, so please leave this island.", he said as a red aura snaked out his body and dark red glow in his eyes as he looked straight into his. He looked away and frown, "Do you hate me because I'm human or because I was with your strongest hunter?", "I don't hate you boy I only want what's good for my people, my clan, the forest.", the alpha answered, "So then I can't see my friend?", he asked reluctantly, "Your friend!, my Flare is your friend.", Blanc said angrily, "She doesn't seem to like you very much, prince.", "You have a big mouth for a dead man", Blanc said. The alpha was offended by the way Axel talked and decided to teach him a lesson. He raised his hand and claws came out of it, as he was about to slap him the front part of the cave was blown by a massive explosion. At the entrance was a woman who had red glowing eyes, she wore a silver armor with a glove with claws. She was as silent as the grave and spoke no words just looked at the wolves and Axel who was still tied up. She took out a whip which looked like a spine, a large spine, she swung it, and it flamed up she attacked the wolves and killed all that stood in her way, Axel tried to warn them to leave, but they decided to fight. Blanc jumped and held her whip as his body was covered in white glowing fur, he looked at her and realized that she was an undead monster, he smiled and opened his mouth as a blue ball of ice magic whirled up in his mouth and shot it at her face freezing it. Flare took a stance of a runner about to attempt a sprinter and sparks of lightning cracked around her body, she dashed hitting the woman in her stomach pushing her out of the cave. Suddenly two vines held them both and the woman came back. She looked at Axel and walked slowly to him, Axel looked below and looked behind, he struggled to break free from the chain, but all attempts were useless, as she attempts to hit him she was stoked by the Alpha who had red blazing aura around him and swelling in a fit of rage which could be felt by all around.
The two fought intensively, but the woman came out victorious and the alpha defeated die to loss of stamina. When she looked at the place where Axel was tired up she was surprised not to see him. "You know if I was to be selfish I would have been gone by now.", she looked back and saw Axel and received a punch to the face. She was pushed back, and he tripped her and stepped on her stomach. She got up and pushed him away. Axel looked at her and his eyes glowed red as a white exoskeleton covered his body like an amour with two blades like bones protruding from the upper part of his wrist. "Ok let's go.", that was the application of the jomungund's power. She looked at him and attacked but was hit from underneath when Axel went down, she recovered and rushed towards him as he tried to stab her. She put his hand in her armpit and broke the blade and used it to stab him, he continued to attack her by exchanging punched with her but was ultimately defeated. The woman was about to take Axel when Flare and Blanc jumped in, they were both injured by this undead woman. Axel looked at her and knew how helpless he was, his heart started to beat fast filling him with uncontrolled rage, his blood boiling as he looked at the undead. Was he this useless, was he that weak? No, that was impossible a fate he wasn't willing to accept. His eyes glowed red and a red light centered at his chest flames poured out of his heat as if it were an oven his eyes lit up in flames and soon his body was covered in flaming aura. This was the power he needed the power he looked for the one thing that could kill this damned undead the "BEAST BURN". He raged at her and grabbed her, but the neck lifted her with relative ease and Threw her to the sky. Fire swelled up around his body and he jumped to meet her smashed her down to the ground burning out his exoskeleton and breaking all the bones in her body, he raised her by the neck and roared exposing his fang like canines and burned her till she was ash. Dark clouds formed as he burned her skin and bones, a drop of rain fell in his face, and soon it started to rain, thunder clapped as lightning filled the sky with its brilliant light. All the wolves moved back and Axel looked up and roared loudly as his veins started to fill itself with fire.
