My Dragon System

Chapter 10:My way

Ray ran into the forest as fast as he could. He knew that every second counted. Amy had no way to defend herself since she wasn't a fighter like her brother.

As he entered the forest and looked around, his eyes sharpened to the limits as he looked over for any trail or disturbances that he could follow.

'There has to be something, a clue around here. Something that could tell me where they went.'

As Ray went deeper into the forest, he soon noticed blood marks splattered on a tree. The blood looked black and fresh, it was still wet. The colour of the blood made it obvious enough that it came from a beast, not a man.

following the blood marks scattered around the area he eventually came across a dead beast. It was a wolf covered in black fur. Underneath its stomach was a clean wound.

"It looks like it wasn't killed that long ago..."

Ray was convinced that Gary and his friends must've been the ones that ended the life of this wolf for the cut seemed to have come from a sword instead of a beast's claw due to how neat it was. Diving deeper into the forest, he started to come across more wolf carcasses.

Luckily, these beasts weren't that powerful. Anyone with decent swordplay should be able to handle them with ease. Of course, there were caveats, but these wolves normally weren't considered trouble.

However, the fact that there were so many carcasses worried Ray even more.

He knew that Gary and Amy weren't the types of people that would deliberately make their parents worry about their safety. Something must've happened and it was definitely the reason why they still hadn't returned.

Suddenly, a scream came from Ray's right side. The voice was without a doubt, coming from Amy's mouth. Ray sped like a cheetah towards the direction of the scream.

When he arrived, he was astounded by what he saw.

A lone black wolf stood strong and tall. It was around six feet tall with razor-sharp fangs. This wolf was definitely not something that anyone with decent swordplay could handle. Gary's two friends were lying on the ground nearby. Their condition, unknown.

Gary was standing in front of the wolf with his sword unsheathed.

Ray's eyes darted around the battlefield, looking for Amy when he suddenly spotted the blonde hair and the red dress.

She was frightened and shivering.

Ray started to move towards Gary's direction.

The battle between Gary and the wolf resumed as the wolf pounced onto Gary.

But despite the impending attack, Gary wasn't moving. He was obviously trying to protect the person behind him. He held up his sword horizontally to block the attack, but it was obviously useless.

The wolf was just far too strong for Gary to handle. The sheer size of the creature made it carry such raw force that Gary was sent flying towards a tree, and now his condition was unknown to.

The wolf began to look around for its next prey sniffing the air, and it had found Amy.

Meanwhile, Ray successfully closed the distance between him and the wolf. Noticing that it was being distracted on its task of looking for Amy.

Ray took advantage of this opportunity to attack.

'You practised for this right, now's the time to use everything you've got'

Running at full speed, he didn't draw his sword and left it sheeved.

The wolf attacked, and Ray ducked down so far until his body was practically on the floor as if on all fours. He quickly ran like a wild beast until quickly bringing himself up.
