To The North

Chapter 3

The wolf headed to him and nudge with his head to wake his master up but it was no use. He was cold turkey. Howls from afar, the wolf knew that he will need to protect his master, even if he has to injured the packs of wolf and humans. The elemental wolf howls as he sliver fur turn into now a silver fur with frost blue tips and its eyes turn blue. Thunder strikes, lighting up the dark skies. Red lights came from the west to their bearing, telling that the hunters were close to them. The wolf released another ear piercing howl and another thunder strikes, but this time was even louder.

Somehow Darren can't hear the ear piercing howl since he was out cold. A howl of agony from the hunter's wolf can be heard from a near distance. Indicating that the elemental wolf howl was successfully steered away the hunters.

Still, in a fighting stance, the wolf waits another few minutes just to make sure the hunter's wolf wasn't going nearer towards them. Knowing now it is safe for the both of them, the wolf retreats back to its fallen master and tries to flip him over by tugging his collar towards him. Successfully flipping his master, he then proceeds to pull him, again by the collar towards a more flatter land. Satisfied on how his master laid down, the wolf proceeds to check his surrounding for any predatory animals and some small animals to hunt. Both lucky and unlucky there are no animals surrounding them whatsoever.

It is now dawn, the sun from the horizon lit up half of the sky. It was truly beautiful work of nature. Half bright and half dark. "The world has much changed ever since I left here" the wolf spoke. For truly the wolf does not have the knowledge on the land which he was summoned to.

The wolf decided to do some research on this land, from nature to politics to bloodline. The wolf sat down on its bottom and closes its eyes. An elemental wolf can connect with the element that exists in this dimension. The wolf has been given the knowledge by those elements that accept him to co-exist with them.

After a few minutes, the wolf has now known the history of the land and its people. It was very gruesome and the wolf was disgusted by how normals treat the unique by burning their houses and killing their young. And the worst part is that the unique didn't even bother to fight back. knowing if they did fight back, those normals won't stand a chance.

The wolf know that was only the past but one that is shocking is that the people on this land don't even participate in the Great War! The population of unique was decimated by the normals, not from the war.

The wolf now has hatred towards those people who can't accept the unique for who they are. The wolf continued meditating to know further information about the land. After another hour session of meditating, the wolf opens its eyes but only to greet with a loud snore coming from his master. The Wolf sighs as he recalled what he had learned. He now knows that there is a school for unique to learn and master their skills. The school was not far from the circumference which was the place there were heading.

The Wolf sees this as an opportunity to let his master join the school and become a powerful cast summoner. That is what the wolf called his master bloodline. But the only bad thing is that the school was hidden and the only one who knew its location was the students who studied there and teachers who teach there.

Another thing is that the only way to get accepted is by applying for its registration in the early year. It is known middle of the year and there is no way the school was going to take an orphan child such as Darren. The wolf stood up and pace front and back, trying to think an idea for how his master can get accepted by a loophole.

It is now midday and Darren hasn't woken up yet, though he is still breathing with a slow rhythmic breath sounds coming from him, the wolf can't help to feel worried for him as a mother would worry for her young child. A loud growl coming from the wolf belly, indicating that he was on hunger and the beef jerky certainly won't last him a day, not even a few hours.

The wolf decided to try to hunt since he can't eat his master wolf, leaving him to starve. So the wolf headed deeper into the jungle to find food. He was hesitated at first, Leaving his new master alone in the jungle. But if he didn't try to hunt, both of them won't have anything to eat and even if they try to ration the beef jerky, it won't simply be enough for the two of us.

As the wolf went deeper into the jungle, it has picked up a scent of a deer. The wolf followed the scent and tracking the deer with complete silent. Deeper into the jungle, the wolf hides in the bush as he saw the deer eating grass. The wolf could tell it was a juvenile deer by the antler. The antler has grown quite recently from its size.

The wolf usually hunts in packs but now he is alone which is okay considering that deer in it's dimension is much harder to hunt seeing that they tend to run much faster than the one in this dimension.

The wolf waits silently in the bushes, trying not to scare the deer away. The wolf knew that to kill he needed to bite the neck to cut out its air circulation of the deer. But single bite won't do much, so he summons up his fire element and concentrate in in his jaw.

Smoke came out from his mouth, his teeth were as hot as a furnace and smoke came out from the wolf mouths and nose every time he breathes. Now it was the waiting game. The wolf needs perfect timing, precision, and accuracy.

As the perfect angle came, the wolf jumped out from the bushes and struck the deer with the element of surprise in his favor. With one bite to the deer's neck, the deer itself collapse to the ground with a burned bite marks at the neck. A nice clean kill. The blood of the deer dried up as the wolf bites. The wolf inspects its kill if it is still alive but no sign show that it is still alive.

"A nice clean kill" the wolf spoke to itself as it tries to find a way to drag it back to his master. The wolf belly made a loud grumbled noise. The wolf was so hungry that he could eat the whole deer by himself. But he needs to share the deer with his master. The wolf bites on the deer antler and tries to drag it back to camp.
