The Last Primal

With the arrival of the new dawn, the camp's residents woke up one by one along with the first rays of the bright sun.

Although yesterday's troubles did weigh the mood in the camp considerably lower than what should be normal, the atmosphere was still far from being depressive. The Silver Howls were after all experienced seniors, learned and wisened by the years of their past. Though they suffered some losses, luckily no lasting damages were made thanks to no small amount to the mysterious little girl of the adventurers in their co-joined group. 

Whilst the residents of the various tents came out, some with a disheveled, groggy face, whilst others already brimming and ready for action, Captain Don made his way towards the largest tent of them all and stepped into their group's scholar's, Derick's domain.

As he stepped inside, Don's eyes were met with the delicate, slender back of the little black-haired girl, who was already deep in her own work, checking up on the three sleepyheads who have just come to their senses a short while ago. 

She and Derick were checking the ladies, making sure they were indeed back to full health. 

"Come on, girl… You should know me by now! I'm fine! Let me go, I want to go out and have my second round against that monster!" Though even Aina and Eina weren't known for their patience, the blonde amazon, Naybeah were the hardest to keep lying. Her blood was burning with passion, she couldn't stand yesterday's defeat. 

To her, it was a disgrace, she wanted to prove to herself that she wasn't weak… that she wouldn't hinder her mate's path to the obvious glory in the future. Losing to that weird creature in such a disgraceful manner, was a dark stain to her ego. She needed to at least fight it to a draw otherwise she wouldn't be able to look into Aiden's eyes when they reunite.

"Sister, please keep still just a bit longer. Let us check you, and make sure you are really fine!" With her usual gentle smile plastered across her face, Galina pushed the girl down, surprising even Naybeah as a warm current of energy forced her back down, despite the girl not using any physical might.

As she woke up this morning, Galina was surprised herself as she noticed the newfound powers she gained overnight. Like before, new knowledge appeared abruptly in her mind, allowing her to familiarize herself with her newly gained powers at her own leisure.

Though she was still slightly confused about the what's and why's behind the situation, she could feel the increase in her strength. She felt the abundant flow of her [Soul Power], that it felt like her pool suddenly doubled overnight. 

Yet, what was even more surprising was the newfound knowledge and deepened understanding of her Light and Nature affinities.

The new skill, according to the knowledge that appeared in her mind, was a sort of beam, an ability she could use to either provide a rapid boost to the target's health and restore him or her back to a fighting state during a crisis, or use it to obliterate foes closely related to the Darkness. 

It was a powerful ability, though she wasn't sure if the sudden surge of concentrated energy wouldn't cause any damage to those caught in it unexpectedly. Before trying, Galina decided to talk to her Young Master about it whenever she could reach out to him in the near future.

"What is going on?" A deep holler, Captain Don's surprised exclamation suddenly resounded inside the tent. The old man stepped over and stood behind the leaned-over girl as she attended the overly-eager amazon.

"How are you feeling?" He asked with a concerned, worried-looking expression looking at the amazon. 

"Argh! Fine! I am fine, yet I am forced to stay in bed!" She complained as she tried to struggle and break free, yet finding it strangely unable to do so.

"Don't make me repeat myself!" Galina chided, pushing the amazon back down. "Be a good girl and stay still for a bit longer. Once we clear all of you, you and the others will be free to go, I promise!"

"Grrrr!! Fine! You promised!" Naybeah pouted, giving up and throwing herself back on the bed. A look of confusion flashed across her face, unable to comprehend how could a little girl like Galina keep her constrained so easily. She was sure that she was stronger than her, yet she felt powerless against that invisible warm energy of hers.

"Listen to the healer, she just wishes what is best for you. You can't fight the creature yet anyways, so it's best to stay put for now." Seeing how all three of the girls were looking alright, the captain could finally don a weak smile and relax.

He smiled at the pouting amazon and turned to look at the twin sisters who, like their newest friend, were pretty difficult to keep down, causing Derick not a small amount of headache. 

Before Captain Don had a chance to step away, however, Naybeah fired another question.

"Can't fight it? Why?!" She exclaimed, her face showing utter shock and resistance. Why couldn't she fight it out with the creature? Why can't she settle the resentment in her heart?! "I NEED TO FIGHT IT!" She added, yelling as the anger quickly began to fill her.

Captain Don sighed and shook his head at the amazon's question. Being already experienced in explaining the matter, he gave a moment getting ready to respond, when suddenly the entrance to the cloth serving as the 'door' to the tent was pulled over and another, much smaller blonde girl stepped in accompanied by two lazy-looking musclebound war hounds.

"Big sister, Naybeah, you have to practice patience, just like brother have told you!" Lily giggled as she stepped into the tent and walked over to the amazon's bed. She reached out and gently grabbed her right hand. Giving it a light squeeze, she explained. 

"We have no idea what these creatures actually are, where are they from, and what they want. As you saw and experienced yesterday, they are not just simply strong and powerful but also deeply intelligent as well." 

She paused for a second as she looked at the pouting blonde amazon with a compassionate look.

"Besides…" She continued after a breath's time "We are in a world that we know almost nothing about. The information that those old guys gave us was faulty. This world is far from being deserted. Just as we arrived we were met with the residents…" 

Raising her head, she turned her attention towards the northeast. She heaved a heavier sigh as she added with a lower, muttering tone of voice.

"…It's not just us either. Even brother met with some danger…"
