Aiden's Diary: A New Teacher

"What was step two?" I asked Willow but she just hissed and slithered away. I followed behind slowly trying to figure out what training she had in store for me. We went deeper into the forest afterward she turned to face me and said find your way back to camp.

Just when I was about to ask what she meant by that she vanished. I was now all alone in the middle of this god-forsaken jungle. I heard a howl, then a screech and then it felt like the darkness had eyes and was staring at me.

I got freaked out by that sight. I tried remembering all that I had learned up till now but all that I could hear we whisper of the wind and my heart thumping loud. I couldn't hear myself think as I was now drenched in a cold sweat. I tried to soothe my mind and curb my wild imagination. I sat crossed-legged and started to meditate. It was then I realized I could sense the entire forest for a hundred miles long. I could see that bird dozens of miles away as I could see the little critters hiding in the damp soil.

I opened my eyes, and I felt a sudden rush of euphoria. The current I was different from the scared little boy who got dragged into this kingdom. I felt I could do anything. Something within my soul acted as a guide as a rush straight back to the camp. I was swinging through trees and gliding in the air. It felt so amazing till I sensed a sinister aura.

"Quickly hid your aura," I told myself as I hid behind that tree with huge leaves. I waited for a brief second then proceeded slowly toward that sinister aura I sensed. There I saw a huge wolf right in the middle of our camp with Willow looking helpless and cornered.

I went behind, sneaking as I approached slowly. I hid my aura the best I could. To my utter dismay, the wolf turned on me and then pounced. I dived sideways barely escaping its huge paws. It fell heavily on the ground but quickly recovered.

Just as I was preparing to get back up the wolf made its second strike. This time the paw came straight toward my face. I raised my hand and grabbed his paw strike, but he hit me immediately with the second paw sending me flying. I hit a tree and landed heavily on the ground. I couldn't believe I was having my *** handed out to me.

He came at me with his fangs snarling at me as he licked the saliva off his lips.

At this moment I felt a warmth in my pants. The wolf pounced again but something different happened. I felt his aura clearly and it seemed I could vaguely see his moves. I dodged the pounce then he came at me with a paw strike. I managed to dodge that one as well but as I smiled celebrating within, a paw strike came straight for my face. I was bashed heavily into the ground and for a moment there I thought I died.

Rushing up immediately I barely escaped his sharp claws gaining for my throat. I knew I had to focus because at that moment this wasn't a game. I kept dodging, keeping my defense up as I waited for my chance to strike but it seemed to never come until I was able to go underneath this wolf which was near twice my height. I struck him below the throat, then the ribs. I was preparing for my third strike when a massive blow came at me. Boom! I was sent flying a second time.

I got up and wiped off the blood leaking from the corner of my lips. This time I was determined to take this crazy wolf with me to the grave. I went straight on the offense this time going for every blind spot I could, but this guy amazingly didn't have any. Then I realized those strikes were handed to me. Almost like he wanted me to find them. I knew then something was off with this matchup.

This guy was stronger, faster, and more experienced and had the chance to kill but never made any lethal moves. We went on for hours till I dropped from exhaustion. The wolf immediately shifted his attention from me to my master. Shit! Was all this fighting for nothing? Couldn't I at least return the favour by protecting the creature that saved me from that terrifying monster before? I started having scary imagination till the wolf got right in front of Willow and said she trained me well. Well, I lacked in stamina, but I made up with speed and agility in a serious battle he feared I won't last for the first wave.

I realized something then. Was he my next teacher? Why did he try to kill me? Willow hearing my thoughts said he was indeed going to take over my training because she won't be with me for long and where she was going was too dangerous for me to follow.

She added she would be leaving after my training with this demon wolf began. I felt a shiver down my spine. Was this crazy wolf indeed my next mentor?
