Yggdrasil. Rebirth (Volume 2) The Grand Betrayal

Stalker

Rize was walking down the street when he felt someone was following him. Rize would go into the woods nearby where he hid. He would see the man who was following him. He was an average-sized man. He had short blond hair, light-colored skin with dark green eyes. He wore a DHO uniform with a cameo jacket. But the one thing that Rize notices about him is his pointy ears. Rize starts to sense he is not human. Rize summons his demon sword and gets ready to jump him. He goes in but before he lands his attack The Man senses him and dodges his attack by jumping back.

 "Well, what we have here?" questioned Rize. "A stalker?"

 "So, you're Rize Alistair the younger brother of Judas Alistair," said The Man.

 "Yeah, that's right creep," said Rize.

 "Good, then I don't have to wait for a week to kill you," said The Man.

 "Kill me? Why? I have never done anything to you," said Rize.

 "No, but you will pay for what your brother has done to me," said The Man.

 "I see you have a grudge against Judas," said Rize. "Well, then I do not care what your problem is but if you want throw down. I am game."

 Rize and The Man get ready to start fighting when all of a sudden a bunch of DHO Guards come along and surround them.

 "What going on?" questioned Rize.

 They see Raze walk out in a DHO Uniform.

 "Sorry, but conflicts are forbidden outside the arena," said Raze.

 "Raze Alistair, head of New Gotham Security," said The Man.

 "And you are Ion Gre," said Raze. "You just look like some punk kid."

 "What, he my next opponent?" questioned Rize. 

 "I will avenge my father," said Ion.

 Ion would get out a hatchet that had a green blade with a handle that looked like tree roots. 

 "An Esper?" questioned Rize. 

 A bright flash comes from his hatchet and they all get blinded for a moment. When they can see again they see Ion has disappeared.

 "What a pain," said Raze.

 "What was up with that guy, Dad?" questioned Rize.

 "I guess, he wanted to take out his competition," said Raze.

 "Well, he said he had a problem with Judas," said Rize.

 "Judas, that's strange why would he have a problem with him," said Raze. "Anyway, you should head back home for now. It seems it is too dangerous for you since he targeting you."

 "Fine," said Rize.

 Later that day, Rize was at his apartment with Cyrus and John in casual clothes.

 "Well, to think he would stalk you," said John.

 "He was only after me because of Judas," said Rize.

 "It might have to do with the Gre Case that Judas was a part of," said Cyrus. "Nothing has come out for info on it on the DHO website when I check the work computer."

 "Then there is only one thing we can do," said Rize.

 He takes his cell phone from his pocket and calls Judas.

 "Hello, Rize?" asked Judas on the phone.

 "Well, are you free to come over to my place?" asked Rize.

 "Yeah, I can. I will be there in a second," said Judas on the phone as he hung up.

 Judas would teleport right at the front door with his magic.

 "Sup?" asked Judas.

 "Hey, we need more info on the Gre Case?" asked Cyrus.

 "I had a feeling you asked," said Judas.

 "I just heard from Dad that Ion attacked you," said Judas. "Well, I may know why he did and it all started two years ago."

 Two years ago, Judas was walking through the Far Woods. He was wearing a DHO Uniform as he was on a hunt for something. But all of a sudden he saw a trail of blood and started to follow it until he reached a huge tree with a dugout where the roots were and where the blood trail was going. He heads down to the dug which is a cave under the tree where he sees a huge creature lying down in pain. It was a large wolf-like creature with four yellow eyes.

 "What do we have here? A young Human?" questioned The Creature.

 "Ah, so you can see me and talk," said Judas.

 "No, I am blind it seems I lost my vision when I was attacked by some man with a poison weapon it currently taking my life," said The Creature.

 "What? The DHO don't use poison weapons," said Judas.

 "This man was no hunter he was only testing himself and rather finished me off he left me to die," said The Creature.

 "You are the Great Wolf of The Far Wood known as Gre," said Judas.

 "Yes, that's why he attacked me," said The Creature known as Gre.

 "Damn, But you haven't been a menace to normal people for years," said Judas.

 "I have my reason. I used to hate humans that hunted me, but I have taken in a child of my own," said Gre.

 "You have a kid?" asked Judas.

 "Yes, a human child I have taken in. I found him years ago when he was still a young boy. A child whose parents abandoned him in the Far Woods. Which they sent him to die. When I met this child I was prepared to eat him, but I saw the look in his eyes as he was ready to die. That was when I took him in and gave him the name of an old wolf in my species, Ion. I am the last of my clan or my maybe he will carry on my legacy," said Gre. "My time is almost up, Please young hunter make sure my son never ends up like me."

 Judas watches as Gre would pass on in front of him. But the story was Judas slain Gre according to the DHO when reported.

 "And that's how I met Gre," said Judas.

 "You knew it was him from before," said Rize.

 "I did, but I figured he was just a hunter and did not have a grudge against me," said Judas.

 "To think Gre would raise a human child," said John.

 "Yeah, to think he would appear here. I thought he was just living a life of solitude like his father in the Far Wood," said Judas.
