Wolves and realms (book 1)

A quest for simmerfruit

Gold had returned home from a short day of education, sat down and started to relax when a wolf with fossil-green and maroon fur entered. "Hi Gold. There's a young wolf cub waiting outside. I don't know why."

"I'll go see what I can do." Replied Goldmoon.

So Goldmoon ended up outside talking to a young wolf who's name turned out to be maple. Maple was a juvenile wolf whose time had been occupied by agricultural work. More precisely, apple farming. Over the years, Maple had harvested many of these fruits (and some very bizarre variants as well). "Uh, hello there sir. Could you help me please?"

"Of course. How can I help?"

"I've heard from some of the dragons here that there is a fruit referred to as simmerfruit. So I searched the voids edge encyclopaedia and such fruit exists but can only be found in a tropical region called the delta island. I can't sail though."

"So I'm going to the delta island to get this fruit? Ok. Should be fun."

And with that, a raft was sent Gold's way at the same coast where the general was slain the previous day. The wolf got on the raft and began to sail over to a distant tropical island with a volcano as the centrepiece. Upon reaching the coast, Gold left the raft and explored the island, being sure to look for anything that could be simmerfruit.

Fifteen minutes had passed before he had found a small fern with leaves that gleamed like flames. Gold held a leaf up, revealing what looked like smooth hardened lava. It was connected to the plant with a fiery stem. This was simmerfruit. And it was clear that it was rare. Gold picked the fruit and continued his search for more simmerfruit. After more minutes, he had found what he thought was enough so he got on the raft, placed the simmerfruit in an enchanted container (the enchantment stopped the container from catching fire) and headed back. Heading over the deep waters of leviathan coast Gold was happy with his achievement. little did he know something was watching from below. In an instant, a large blue mechwing lunged into the air, spraying the raft with salt water. It looked at Goldmoon, eyes glowing sky-blue. It released two projectiles which hit the raft, causing it to tear apart. The creature submurged under the water, only to re-emerge right in front of Gold. On its chest was a contraption. It was grey with orange emitting from certain areas. It reminded him of the colossal metal mechwing. It's silver base colour with its glowing orange accents.

The creature roared before diving down onto Goldmoon, mouth gaping. However, it had stopped in its tracks upon hearing a booming sound coming from the volcanic crater of the delta island. Gold turned around and saw a large draconian of the same size as the mechwing. 

The volcanic creature was a mechwing too. It also had the same device as the aquatic mechwing. The problem with them being mechwings was that only few mechwings possess magic. The two mechwings used a lot and yet Gold (nor any other creature) could feel it. The wolves thoughts were interrupted when the volcanic mechwing leaped over to the oceanic one and began to bite at its neck. The blue mechwing reacted by submerging itself and the other couldn't reach it. Then the sea mechwing re-emerged and fired its projectiles which hit its target. The volcanic mechwing spiralled to the ocean below. Before it hit, it spread its wings and flew over the ocean mechwings head. It created a field of immense heat around it as it flew over the ocean mechwing. The harmed aquatic creature fired more projectiles before emerging completely. It swung its tail at the volcanic mechwing. It once again spiralled towards the ocean but this time the ocean mechwing fired its projectiles causing it to hit and sink. The last gold saw of it was its dark body swimming towards the delta island. While the oceanic mechwing was occupied, Gold held on to a large enough piece of raft. He got on and started paddling to the shores of the beta islands. He wasn't alone when he got to the shores as the ocean mechwing must have found him. It dived up on to shore and flew at Goldmoon at tremendous speeds. Just then, a metallic mechwing of the same scale flew overhead. It blasted the oceanic mechwing into the sea where it came from. The metal mechwing was nowhere to be seen. It t had seemingly disappeared.
