Chapter 2 - First Glow

And of course without hesitation, Black Wind first blows air out of his nose, with flesh ripping fury behind his eyes, making him look like a true fearless beast.

And he went from being stopped at his spot to fast ground trembling speed. Faster than a wolf could ever achieve. As if he wasn't pulling a Wagon at all.

As Black Wind is running straight ahead towards the pack of Black Wolves, it didn't take long to notice that the pack leader was fearing for his life because he was standing in the middle of the road, standing in front of a 6 foot Black Wind.

One moment the leader was standing his ground and blocking the road, the other moment he cleared the way and rushed upwards the forest out of fear and of course the pack followed the leader shortly after, they had no other choice. The leader did try to stand his ground, but even an Animal can notice obvious Danger. If not crushed by BlackWind, the Wagon would crush at least a few of them.

After BlackWind pulled them through that pack, bailing them out of danger, Woldemir turns his head around and shouts.

"HaHaHa!!!!! Take that you cowardly dogs." But it surprised him why the Wolves didn't approach the road again to start chasing the Wagon. Blood thirsty Wolves wouldn't give up that easily.

But one thing he also noticed as he turned his head around, was the fact that something or more accurately "someone" was missing. Eric!!! Eric was missing!!

Eric seemed to have slept through all the thrilling danger due to the coma like sleep boredom offered and as Black Wind was running as fast as he could, the road became undoubtedly more bumpy.

If Eric was awake he would have more chances to remain in the Wagon by holding on somewhere, even on Cabbages but because he was asleep, he fell off the Wagon to the hard dirty ground, which shocked him awake.

But at this moment, having dry dirt on his face was the least for him to worry about.

Do you remember that Black Wolf pack from a while ago? They came back in a blink of an eye due to the natural instinct of coming back where prey roams and finding Eric defensless on the ground against Several Wolves, he will be an easy meal, so they started surrounded Eric on each corner with their teeth upfront followed by growling and a death stare.

The Wolf pack leader was slowly approaching Eric closer by the second, with his yellow bloody teeth shining and his mouth watering. The leader just kept growling in a soul trembling freakish way and suddenly stopped after he pushes Eric down to the hard ground with his paw, having no trouble to pin him down.

The Leader's paw being as big as an a.d.u.l.t human's hand aided that move. After that the Leader leans down to bite Eric's neck, to end his life. But is stopped as Eric literally slapped the Wolf, yelling at him to get back. But it had little effect and it pissed of the Wolf, making his death likely more brutal now.

Eric is of course trembling in fear even though he had the courage to slap a Wolf. He is sweating enough that he would have easily been mistaken as a person who just came out of a river, if he was seen by anyone.

His heart beat rapidly increases as he noticed Wolves approaching closer at each side as he fears to lose his life at that moment.

With that fear possessing his soul and body, he was forced to push his body into new abilities, abilities he never thought possible for him to have. He even tested himself before after hearing all the stories of Slaughter.

Eric suddenly uses one hand to grab the Wolf Pack leader by the neck and pulls him down to the position where the leader and Eric are looking at each other's eyes. But this time, the Leader was in fear.

As Eric's eyes lighten up and change color to a Fire like color, the leader gets spooked down his soul as he witnessed the rage in Eric's eyes.

A split second after that, Eric used his other hand to grab the leader's chest which was a grab strong enough to make the leader scream in pain and fear. Afterwards Eric blasted what seemed to be a small Fireball out of his hand.

But not just a normal rapidly spreading fireball. This one was different.

It was Fire shaped in a compressed like way. Fire that seemed to rely on its ability to pierce skin, more than it relied on its ability to burn.

It was shaped like a long, slender, rounded piece of metal which first of all pushed through the leaders skin and reached out to his heart, burned it whole and pushed through the leaders back in a blink of an eye, ripping the Leader in two.

It didn't take much until that slender fire turned in to an actual typical fireball which exploded into a bigger size, enough to blast the remains of the bloodthirsty leader ten feet up in the sky, tossing one part at the forest and one part at the road, left there to burn.

The leader is dead, but Eric is still in grave danger because the pack still remains standing around him which was a surprise. They didn't scatter.

Eric killed the leader, yes.

But he has no idea how he did it and he isn't sure how to blast more fireballs out of his hand again.

Until a moment ago, he didn't even know that he could do that.

Several wild Black wolves started ignoring the fact that their leader just got burned to death and without fear they are approaching Eric closer and closer. At this moment, all Eric thought of doing was to cover his head with his arms and hands and just wait for his death.

In a second, a sound...much like a blazing burning fire was easy to hear.

It didn't take long to feel that the sound was approaching closer every moment.

The Black Wolves ignored that sound, like the wild animals they are.

Their main goal is food. It was always food. And Eric is their bite sized target right now.

Eric's life flashes before his eyes. He didn't do much.

Apart from the small short adventures in the forest and working all day on the farm with a father who refused to answer his questions.

He didn't do anything worth remembering or looking back for whenever he was in a good mood, or at this situation, he couldn't get a good flashback.

But that sound. That fire like sound. It didn't seem like it was going to fade away. It roared stronger every split second, like a Fire was eating up the forest.

But that sound turned into something that was impossible to not pay attention to it at the moment.

Even though the wolves weren't the best at paying attention, this time they had no choice but to glance.

Because now that fire like sound was much more easier to notice, because now it could be glanced upon as well.

At first view it was clear to see that it was a burning hot Fireball.

But this Fireball was nothing like the one Eric blasted out of his hand.

It was clear to see that this one was way bigger. It's round blazing shape measured six feet wide. And this Fireball, unlike the one Eric blasted, hit one Black Wolf, pushing it against another one that was close to the first hit, and when it reached the third Black wolf, it pushed all three of them about twenty feet away from Eric and a heart trembling explosion followed, leaving Eric's mouth open.

The explosion was Loud enough to be heard half a mile away no doubt.

After that explosion, the fireball just disappeared into thin air.

And those three Black Wolves were nowhere to be seen, reduced into nothingness. The Fire burned them out of existence. Even dusty ashes weren't to be seen after the explosion.

All that remained out of those three wolves was a tooth that flew and bounced it's way near Eric's feet.

After that lethal blast, what seemed to be an old mysterious looking man appeared and was slowly approaching with a cold look on his face, walking towards Eric and the remaining four living and breathing Black Wolves who are still considered a threat to Eric, but the old man doesn't seem to fear them at all. He doesn't see them as a challenge. But more like target practice.

After the old man made a stunning entrance, the Wolves quickly lost their attention towards Eric and didn't target him anymore.

They turned all their attention away from him and ran towards the old, obviously bigger(taller) looking human.

Wolves have simple instincts! they hunt whats bigger.

But if they can't hunt down what's bigger, they at least keep it away from their meal(Eric). Even though the old man wasn't obviously going to eat him, the short minded wolves protected their meal.

All the remaining wolves from that pack were running towards the old man, but they did not understand that they aren't just facing against a normal or easy to tackle Human such as Eric.

The old man didn't even wait for the Wolves to approach.

A second after they left Eric at peace, the old man furthermore unleashed his powers towards those wild beasts until they suddenly became a pack of blazing and burning running animals because of the old man. They were getting burned to death due to the old man quickly taking a breath and blowing short lasting blazing hot fire out of his mouth that easily set all the four(remaining) wolves on fire, leaving them to howl in pain as they randomly ran from the road to the forest and from the forest to the road out of panic, hoping they are put out of their misery. Hoping that they never tried to eat a kid.
