A flaming warrior

Chapter 65 Kael

This is just an old wolf den camp we used to make back in the old days. Why and how the hell are they back?" Sashi asked, confused. "What do you mean? It seems like... wait, yeah, if they are dead, how are they back? "They're not androids or anything; they are wolves, so yeah, how are they back?" Leona asked, confused. "Whatever it is, we have to destroy it. Even if it is my family group," Sashi said, pulling out her axe. "It's your family dens? Sashi, you don't think..." Chris was cut off by Sashi. "If we have to...I'll kill my own family," Sashi said as we walked to the den and were immediately spotted.

 "Why did we go in like this?" Samantha asked. "Because us wolves can smell you for miles," Sashi said, as we charged in with her by our side. We should have trained more. The wolves were keeping up with us so easily with their own strength; since wolves' brute strength alone is strong, smaller wolves do not possess powers... thankfully. "Anyone we're looking for? You never told us if these dens had leaders that controlled them or not. Also, why are these dens so huge?" Chris asked.

 "They're big because of the leaders. My father was a king of his group and had people below him that would start smaller dens and be leaders of those; let's call them branch leaders. This is something that is common with a lot of the kings. There were seven kings, and all of them fell because of one person who killed my father. I couldn't even stop him and had to save Irene and get the help of Tuya and her kingdom to even do something. I call myself a queen of the wolves, and all I did was run away with my people and had to get help," Sashi said, punching a wall and destroying it. "And yet my own kin calls herself a queen," someone said as we saw a portal open up with a buff male wolf walking out of it, followed by a female. 

"Shit..." Samantha realized who he was at the same time we did. "Hello, Sashi," Sashi's father smiled evilly at her, which pissed off Sashi as she gripped her axe harder. "Father. Let's not do this. You're being used, and you know this," Sashi tried to reason with her father, but her father struck her with an ice blast, knocking her back and into a small structure. "And are you her friends? I'll make quick work of you all then," he said, pulling out his axe, which was exactly the same as Sashi's. But he was stopped by Sashi's mother, who told him not to use up all his energy just yet, as Vyrexa needs him to keep playing a major role until there's enough dead for her. He put his axe away and snapped his fingers as a tall, white-furred male wolf walked out of the portal and looked at us. "Deal with them," Sashi's father said before he and his wife left.

"Humans," the big guy said. "Yeah, we're humans. What about it?" Chris asked. "Me, Kael, don't like you humans at all," Kael said, standing right in front of Chris as the two stood their ground. "Tiny human makes himself look big but fails," Kael said, laughing at Chris. "Chris...stand down," Sashi said, recovering. "And Samantha, you shouldn't even be here either. We need to retreat right now," Sashi said, worried. "You should listen to that one and run," Kael said. "We don't run. We stay and fight," Eva said as the others returned. "What are you all doing here?" I asked. "Our investigation leads back to this den. But he's no monster, just a dumb buff wolf," Tyler said, laughing. "What did the human say?" Kael asked, getting pissed. "You're nothing but a dumb buff wolf who probably can't even count and needs his mommy's help to learn how to eat," Tyler said, mocking him. 

Kael got extremely pissed off and slammed the ground, which Chris and Tyler dodged. Kael powered up with fur covering his whole body, with frost and ice crystals all over, and frost spreading under his feet as he stepped towards us. He roared, which caused snow to start to fall in our location.

Tyler and Eva tried to attack him, but he shrugged it off and grabbed both of them and threw them into the same structure as Sashi. "Brute force isn't going to work against him; we need to use our powers and stay away from him," Sashi said but was about to be punched by Kael. Chris and I stepped in and took the punch, which sent us flying backwards, leaving us very dazed. Kael started getting shot by Samantha, who was flying with Leona and Miriam on a wyvern, but Kael jumped high in the air and grabbed Leona's Xeno tail and threw it into the ground; but as he did, Miriam pounced on him. "Kael has no time for kitty," Kael said, punching Miriam in the mouth and kicking her hard in the back towards us. Miriam started letting out sad meows as she couldn't move, holding her back in pain. In a fit of rage, Leona started attacking Kael with Chloe and Jacqueline, but all three of them were overpowered, even breaking Jacqueline's shield over her head.

"Humans will forever be weak," Kael said before someone cut him in the back. "Dumb big guy. Unlink a green one, this one seems more annoying," Christian said as he and Katrina showed up. "Eva, ground heal," I said as we both put our hands on the ground and healed everyone. But Miriam stayed down, still in back pain, and Jacqueline was knocked out cold. "I'll grab Jacqueline; you all attack him," Eva said as the rest of us charged Kael, overpowering him in numbers and damaging him badly. "What's wrong, big guy? Can't do nothing now?" Chris asked, taunting Kael. "Humans become smarter; attack me in numbers instead of one-on-one. Then Kael will do a smart move too," Kael said as he was pushed back by cold wind. Kael started screaming out in pain, which worried Sashi. "Kael, no. You know what happens, Kael; you need to stop," Sashi tried reasoning with him, but Kael's mind was already made up. "Kael must do thi...this goodbye, lady Sashi. I'm sorry; my second death was like this," Kael said as snow covered him completely, making it hard to see until the snow stopped, showing a giant, great, beautiful white wolf.
