They walked in the narrow cave entrance. Satku grabs a lamp from the inside of his bag and holds it

they walked in the narrow cave. the path they see inside of the cave was straight and littered by bones. they can only see what the torch lighted up.

as they were walking they saw a giant opening they went inside

"F-felix?"
"shhh"

inside the opening they saw 5 no 10 monsters sleeping. they also saw skulls and bones littered across the floor. the cave wall slightly stained in blood and the room reeks of feces and blood. they spotted a hole from the other side of the cave room

"Satku stay here and prepare a fire" Felix said quietly and satku just nodded in agreement. Felix slowly and carefully tries to walk to the other side of the caves room. he manages to barely make it to the other side of the room unharmed but there were times that  the creature would move their tail but Felix managed to avoid that

As he went inside the room In the cave he saw a white marble hallway, a pillar with drawings of people fighting and on the wall a prophecy. Well what is remained on the prophecy. Felix signal Satku to follow Satku. Satku manages to do so with ease because of him being small.

Satku and Felix started to walk on the corridor a lamp suspending from Felixes belt lighted the way. Satku on the other hand looking at everything in awe

As they were walking in the old ruins they started to hear a women. No a young girl faintly crying from the distance. Both Satku and Felix ran to the cries of the girl. They went into a room without them knowing.  They entered a room resembling a throne room. Torches litted the throne room and on the center of the room they saw a black pedestal and on that pedestal a gauntlet is levitating on top of the pedestal. On the corner of the room they saw a girl crying. Covering her face and on the throne they saw the and a 8 ft tall skeleton Wearing bulky black armor and a Dragon shape sigil on its chest and a obsidian crown on the skeletons head. The kid looked up from the corner and suddenly shouted at the two of them

"Stop. Don't come Near!" It was too late

Felix and Satku stepped on a pressure plate. Suddenly bones started to fall down from the ceiling and form Into a warrior skeletons and the armored skeleton that was laying dormant saw the little girl crying and shaking from fear. Felix and Satku both hide from a nearby collum

"Pathetic human child. You dare steal the gauntlet of the Devourer!" The girl looked up at the armored skeleton
"I-i wasn't doi-"
"SILENT!" The skeleton brings out his black great sword

While they were talking Felix ready his arrow to shoot the armored skeleton. He aimed the bow ready to shoot and then

"Your punishment. Death!"  The armored skeleton swing his sword. Suddenly a bright light blinded everyone in the room

"Augh!"

Satku opened his eye and saw Felix lying on the floor. A pool of blood surrounding Felix. The sound of the girls scream was the only thing they heard

Why did she scream. Why is Felix… on the floor those were the thoughts in Satkus head.The bones on the floor turned into skeleton soldier. they encircled the little girl the swords that they picked up from the ground. The armored skeleton stood up from the throne and walked over to Felixes body and grabbed him by neck

"This is your savior? A pathetic demi human cat"  he throws Felix across the room.  spreading blood against the wall and the floor. A skeleton stood in front of the girl. His sword about to swing and then…

CRACK!

The iron sword of the skeleton broke in half and a person with dog ears and tears falling down his eye broke the sword. Satku thrust his sword to the skeletons chest until it pierce the ribcage. The skeleton fell down and broke Into pieces, the surrounding skeletons rose their sword to kill the girl and Satku.

"Stop" the armored skeleton said while walking toward the two. The armored skeleton picked up Satku by the neck.

"Since you have the courage to fight instead of running away I'll give myself a handicap just for you" he withdrew his sword and the skeletons surrounded the girl once more with their sword face to Satku and the armored skeleton

"Let me set up then" Satku wiping his tears away and holding his sword loosely"

"Take as long as you want"

Satku grip his sword tightly. His eyes and head looking the floor

"The god of all fighters , may you give us the fighters greater strength to overcome any challenges" a red aura started to surround Satku

"Oh God of wind and speed, please give us the speed to pass through all obstacle like the wind" a green aura surrounded Satku

"Thank you felix" he whispered. Grabbing his sword and pointing it toward the skeleton
