"We are surrounded, get ready for battle"
The man shouted, as soon as his voice rang in the silent forest the four pairs of eyes vanished,
"AHHHH, Help -aghhh" the voice of a man rang out, as everyone looked toward the man who screamed, they saw they he was missing his right arm and a leg, there was horror on his face,
"Where are they?" the scar-faced man asked, as the man continued to scream for help in the background, however, no one could answer,
"What are they?" the women by his side asked,
"I don't know, I just know that they can kill us" the man replied, however something changed, it was silent again.
The noise of the man's scream stopped as they looked where the man was lying they saw a figure shrouded in shadows, it was a really big figure, from what they could see it looked like a wolf, and it was holding something in his mouth, however, no one knew what it was,
"Someone put the device down," the man with a scar on his face said,
And soon their formation changed as one man went to the center and started to put something down on the ground,
Flash
A bright light illuminate the area where they were standing, and finally, they soon saw what the wolf was holding in his mouth.
It was the head of the man who was screaming,
His eyes were still open, as he looked towards his comrades, true dread written all over his face,
"Crunch"
A crunching sound echoed in the surroundings as the head in the mouth of the black-colored wolf, got crushed.
"Attack it" the women shouted,
As everyone heard the command they swung their swords and a blue slash travailed through the air towards the wolf,
'It's my first time meeting you humans, but you seem to be quite skilled to use mana in your attacks' everyone heard a voice in their heads,
As the countless blue slashes hit the area where the wolf had been standing, a cloud of dust arose,
'No they are not the ones that are using that mana but it is the swards that are making those' another voice could be heard, it was the voice of a woman this time,
"W-what do you want?" the man with a scar on his face asked, these beasts that had been, attacking them seem to be intelligent, they might be able to talk this out he thought, as he commanded everyone to stop the attacks,
The cloud of dust where the wolf was, that just a dust cloud there was no one in there, only the mangled corpse of their comrade.
'We want nothing' a different voice said, it was different from the over two.
"If you're attacking us because we entered your domain, then we apologize we are just looking for a dwarf" the man said,
'HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA'
'These fools'
'They think we attacked them because entered our domain'
'Fools indeed'
For voices said, one after another. After they all stepped,
One of them said again, 'we were ordered to kill you'
"B-by who?" he asked, shocked that someone could command such beasts,
'Well it's not like any of you gonna survive this, so we don't see any reason to tell you' a voice said, as all of a sudden everyone started to drop down one after the another,
"Plant the barrier" a man with a scar on his face shouted to the woman, as she started to grab something form inside her cloak and started to do something with it,
"Vrroosshhh" soon a blue colored barrier appeared and covered the two of them, only a handful of people were left alive, other them that all dead on the ground every one of them was missing a head, it was a massacre they never got a chance to fight back.
"Keep attacking, make a tight formation" the man kept shouting orders,
All the remaining people surround the two in a circle,
'How many did you all kill?'
'12'
'7'
'10'
'13'
'I am winning then, hah I will go into the mana water first when we get the chance' the voices said,
'Are they playing with us?' the man with scar asked himself as he looked around at all the of his men they were still alive.
"What do we do?" The woman by his side asked there in his voice, as aother person dies, his head missing like all the others,
"W-we can't even see them attacking, I think this is it," he said, as he said this last 3 people outside the barrier also died, there was the smell of blood all around them,
"Clang"
For the first time, both of them saw the beast that was attacking them, it was a big fox.
'Oh it didn't break,' she said, as she stood there in front of them,
'Interesting, should we take them to him?' another voice said, this time a lion came out of the shadows and stepped into the light.
'Do you think we might get rewarded?' the wolf said, as he too seeped out into the light.
'Well, to be honest, there is nothing for us to get, we are getting plenty already' a white tiger said as he too came into the light.
'Hmm, let's just take them to him, and let him deiced' the fox said,
'Let's do it tomorrow, I don't want to disturb him this late' the lion said,
Hmm, let's do it.

The next day, Nova's cave
"Good morning, Nova" Ena screamed, as soon as she entered my cave.
'Why are you screaming this early and why are you here this early anyways?' I asked her, it was like six in the morning, and there was light poring in from the hole, I had built stairs down to my cave from the hold as not everyone can jump down like me,
A bad idea, and I am regretting it now,
"You said you would teach me," she said, I felt her leaning against my stomach, I opened my eye to look at her,
'Can I sleep a bit more? It is my first time sleeping?' I asked,
"First time? How can you not sleep?" she asked as she grabbed my fur as a blanket to snuggle in it,
'I don't need to sleep, I don't usually get tired but last night I had to do many things and my mind got exhausted' I said,
"How so?" she asked,
'You will know soon enough' I said as I closed my eyes and rested, while I closed my eyes, it was all dark but even so I could hear everything, the sound of Ena's breathing, the chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, and I could even hear the sound of water due draping off leaves, it felt peaceful.
This is how I want to live, in peace.
[it certainly is peaceful]
Hmm, it is. Now shut up and let me rest.
[yes you can rest, but the four kings are waiting outside the cave and they seem to be carrying something.]
Like I care, they can do whatever they want, I want to rest.
'Lord nova, we captured some interesting humans with some strange devices' I heard the fox's voice,
'Come later I am sleeping' I said,
'But they can use mana with these devices' she said,
Fuck my life, how did humans get the tech like that?
'Come inside,' I said, as I finally opened my eyes fully and looked at the entrance.
All four kings jumped down one after another and then a piece of Roch or more like a floating bolder, that had two people on it came flying in,
They were covered in some sort of blue force field,
'Interesting' I said as soon as I saw them,
'We can't break this barrier, it's too powerful for us' the fox said,
'Hmm, I see, bring them here' I said as the lion pushed the bolder forward,
Both humans inside looked to be terrified,
'Hello there my name is Nova, do you mind if I ask a few questions' I asked them as I looked towards the man who had a scar on his face,
"J-just kill us" he shouted as he looked at me,
'Oh no I can't do that until I know everything that I want to know, and as for the force field, will it's a really interesting tech, but I wonder how long it will hold. From the looks of it, you can't get out without turning it off, and I would love to study it.'
