the second coming of greed / Completed

chapter 13

Fang found herself on top on a mountain, she looks around her, saw Eryman , no sign of the wizard, no sign of Kenshin

-Horn, she screamed, are you there?, Horn

But no sign of him, she took a deep breath and analyze the situation, she remembered she had been sent here by the wizard, she analyzed her surrounding the heat was extreme, it was hard to breath, however it reminded her of the forge, her axe, she had remembered the special effect it had, this would be a fearsome weapon. And then there was Eryman what a strange creature, it looks harmless, the wizard had spoken of a world against them, how would he help sure his ability was great but,
-Ah that famed orc logic, strength isn't everything you know
-You can talk aaaaa, she asked
-I'm Eryman I've been in legend and I couldn't talk
-How are you my familiar, she asks
- You are a warrior of good, a conflict is coming, us celestial will once again, fight against infernal, you'll have a role, started the boar
-Will I be able to protect Horn, in this war, she asks
-He is in the middle of it all, child, it will be hard to, he started
-How do I become stronger, she interrupted her again,
The boar smiled

-There the elf blood, protection don't come naturally to orc, how interesting, you in luck hybrid I've been training your kind for generation, if you do what I say you can defend this world

-Thank you, she said

They heard a humongous roar, Fang looked up, it was a mythical beast a dragon, she heard of them from the village elder stories. She felt a gentle push, then Eryman said
-meet your trial
They hide, the boar had told, her she had no chance, Fang felt the pressure, the beast spew fire, her magic was useless, her weapon was useless against it. The boar had told her of the horrible consequences of her failure, she was hopeless

-You're going to slump around or are you ready to train, said Eryman

-What can I do ?, she asked

-Fight me weakling, answered her familiar

First the pressure now the insult her blood was starting to boil, her berserk ability begging to be unleashed, second later she a hard push that knock her on her back. It was the boar! Her familiar had attack her, she began stumping the ground' her rage was frowning, her vision turning red. She swung her orcish battle-axe, but at the last second, the target dodge, she swung again, she heard the metal clang against the ground.
-Control it, berserker isn't what you think it is, it's your best ability said her new mentor
But Fang wasn't listening, she was slashing and hacking
-Like this you won't protect anyone let alone, that horned elf.
Something snapped in her, she still felt the rage but the vision became clearer, she swung again and went the boar dodge she moved the axe again she succeeded to graze the boar fur. But the boar had escaped and lunge into her, she felt on her back once again.
-Much better orcling, finally some potential, you realize that when you graze me if you had used your element, you would have seriously hurt me, said the boar
-Sorry she answered remorseful
- Sorry for what, now I don't have excuse to hold back, said the boar when you hang around your people this long you start to like combat
They spent the rest of the day fighting, it was amazing training thought fand her familiar was both strong and fast, he was stronger than her, she felt her blood boil with every hit after the training, they ate

-Eryman , why don't I feel like an elf, why am I not like horn

-I can't answer that, said the boar I don't know, I personally think that you enjoy the stronger side of you, the side able to protect, my brother served your father, and that's why I chose you

Fang couldn't believe it; he knew her father

-How was he ? she ask

-He was a strange orc, most of his kind, spend their lives fighting, invading, not your father he had a passion for building, he enjoyed the hunt, but let smaller prey escape. You are a lot like him

-How ?she asked

-You follow a weaker person, never fought him, never raised a hand on someone other than to protect

That made her feel better, much better, she was proud of her root, proud of her heritage. she heard the roar again

-How are we going to beat this thing if we can reach it, she ask

-You forgetting that Eryman is on your side this beast will fall.

They train as hard as possible and were making immense progress with her berserk ability, she had all the positive and none of the negative. She wasn't the only one that change .Eryman had change too, he had a giant scale on his back that transform into a shield, he was also bigger, but as fast as ever. These were all positive but Fang couldn't help but feel nervous the trial was the next day.Eryman had come up with a plan but it involves entering in the dragon lair

-Once we got the Cole, we can make something to help us, you have some skill as a blacksmith make this your strength

They had reached the lair, the dragon was sleeping, they advance slowly. Fang couldn't believe the amount of gold the dragon had accumulated, everything was sparkling, they had amassed a good amount when they started to make their exit, the mission had been a success, when a smaller dragon a baby saw them, the lizard howled, Fang took out her axe, and stroke down the beast in a swift move, but it was too late the dragon had reach them, his torso grew bigger second, he started to spit fire, they had lost.
-Goodbye horn, you were my clan said Fang
But she felt no pain, she opened her eyes there was flame on both of her side she turned around and saw Eryman with his shield protecting her, the flame was melting the gold at her sides, if she moved, she was dead, it was a jail of flame, she had met horn in a jail, she remember the kiss of her chains. Chains! that was it. she took out her axe, it was an artifact not her hammer but it would do the job, but suddenly the end of her axe switch to a hammer, had the legendary orc been a blacksmith, a builder, like her father, like her. At the first strike the melted metal had started to form a chain, it had form what she had imagine, she invented her weapon. second later, Eryman saw an axe being thrown attach by chain, the axe hit the dragon jaw , stopping the fire ,Eryman smile and lunge at the dragon making him loose his balance , Fang had the chain wrap around his neck, she knew what to do she began to pull on the chain but she wasn't strong enough she felt , the boar pulled with her ,the head of the dragon hit the floor , it had done some damage , the dragon was stumbling but got back up , again the duo pulled .They had knock the dragon out .

-A hit to the head kid, screamed Eryman

Fang obeyed, but the axe wasn't strong enough, she invoked her berserker power it wasn't enough. Then she remembered her first battle with the boar, she used her mana and the axe had pierced the scale. She did it, no they did it, out of fatigue she fell to her knees. Just before dying the dragon look in her eyes, she felt warmth in her body, it was hurting her, as she went to screamed in pain to her biggest surprise, she spitted fire. Did the dragon gave her power.
-Not bad kid, nice thinking you got what it takes and that dragon breath is something else.
She saw a bracelet drop from the dragon
-Who would have thought, said the boar, try it on
Did he know that artifact, she tried the bracelet it was entirely made of bone. She closed her fist and was surprised to feel an armor made of bone slowly covering her body, she closed her fist again and the armor retracted.
She looked at the boar, her trial was a success, she hugged him, seconds later she saw the wizard .
-You are the first he said
Fang erupted in tears, she would be able to protect her friend
