ARAMIS
After a few hours, we went into our respective tents. Before we went in, I placed a hand on the ground and used Dark Fire Hounds. Two dogs made of Dark Fire materialised.
"Keep guard for the night okay?" I asked. The dogs started walking in a circle around the camp. Jet lay down in front of our tent. As I walked in, I stroked his. head. I lay down on my sleeping bag next to Wolf who was looking up at the ceiling, not reacting to me at all. For a second there was silence, then Wolf spoke.
"She was going so fucking easy on me". I looked at him
"What?"
"Raven. She went so fucking easy on me"
"You think?"
"I know" Wolf said, turning to look at me
"So you reckon if she went full power, she could beat you?" Wolf paused then said
"Yeah. But if I went full power too"
"You talking about Black Rage?" Wolf nodded slowly
"I could beat her then"
I smiled at him "In Black Rage you could beat anyone"
"No" Wolf said, lifting his hand, clenching his fist and covering it in Full Metal "I couldn't beat The Maker". I shrugged
"We don't know that. We've never seen the Maker fight."
"Jett right now I'm not even city level. I'm probably just above Skela and even then he'll probably catch up." I was taken back that he called me by name
"Wolf you're underestimating yourself" I said "You've always been stronger than Skela. You've beat him in every fight you two have been in" Wolf thought, his eyes flashing into an uncertain grey
"Things change" he said, letting the Full Metal disassemble, then closed his eyes "Night bro" he said.
"Night babes" I said. I lay back in my sleeping bag. Just as I closed my eyes, a booming voice shouted "NO!". Putting it simply, I shat myself. I sat up suddenly, shouting "FUCK!". Wolf sat up in a flash with his fist back in full metal
"What?!" He shouted at me, his eyes orange in alarm.
"Did you not hear that?" I asked
"Hear the fuck what?!"
"That fucking voice!"
"What voice?!"
"Didn't you hear it?" I shouted at him
"The only thing I heard was you being a fucking bitch and screaming your head off!" Wolf replied at the same volume.
"Seriously?" I asked
"Seriously" Wolf replied "Go to bed". I hadn't imagined it. I know that.
"I'm going for a walk around" I said. I needed to clear my head. Wolf raised an eyebrow, but didn't question me.
"Alright" Wolf replied "If you see a Shade, try not to piss on them"
"I swear to fuck Wolf" I said, then unzipped the tent and walked out, zipping it up behind me. Jet looked up at me
"I'll be back in a sec boy" I said, stroking him. He lay back down and closed his eyes. I got up and walked into the forest. After a few minutes I got bored and decided to go back. I turned round and was greeted by Blaze. I smiled at him
"Hey Blaze" I said, stepping back
"Hello Jett" he replied. I looked around.
"I'm dreaming aren't I?" I asked
"You are"
"When did I start? I didn't realise" I said
"As soon as you told Wolf you were going for a walk, I made you sleep" he explained
"You tricky bastard" I said "so what's up? Am I not giving you enough freedom?"
"No, you're giving me lots of freedom. And I thank you for that. I wanted to talk to you about the dragon you tried to summon earlier"
"Uh-huh" I said, poking a dream tree. It shimmered as my finger went right through it "what about it?"
"I liked the idea of it. I'd like to have that as my final form"
"There's a probably with that Blazey" I said, thinking about ice cream. One appeared in my hand and I started eating it "I'm not strong enough to summon it". Blaze closed his eyes for a few seconds.
"There are two men nearby who are extremely powerful. You've fought one before. The other could maybe help you"
"Who's the one I fought?" I asked
"Grim" Blaze replied "he's walking around the city"
"Grim only crawls out his hole when he's out to kill someone" I replied
"What are you going to do?"
"Stop him"
"He's stronger than you"
"That's true " I said "but I bet with Wolf, Raven, Jet, Angel and you, we'll give him a run for his money"
