Soldier Magic, War of Gods

Act 3 - Hellhounds

Act 3

Paul's POV

"Ronin!! It was terrible!" I dramatically ran over to where he was and shook his shoulders.

"What was? Who even are you?!" He asked all confused.

"It's me!" I took off my mask and tied it on my arm for now.

"Woah, what's up with the fancy outfit?" He asked.

"Never mind that! So, I went through a forest to get away and look for my friends, then poof! Out comes Shiro, he took me to his castle, killed the prisoners, and his buddy tried to molest me? Anyways, I also found-"

"Woah! Hold up! Did you say Shiro?! I thought I told you not to mess with him!" He frowned.

"I didn't. I was minding my own business and then he just came out of nowhere and snatched me away like a hawk." I crossed my arms.

"I knew he would come after you. It's quite typical of him." Ronin sighed and looked over at me sternly.

"Okay, I am gonna need you to stick around here okay? He wouldn't dare to come to the palace so you'll be safe here."

I nodded. "Got it!"

Soldier Electricity whistled lightly and looked around.

"Oh right! This is one of my teammates, Soldier Electricity!" I motioned towards him.

He waved.

"Of course, formally introducing myself, I am Soldier Magic!" I bowed slightly.

"You guys are... Soldiers?" Ronin asked.

"Well, in a way yes. We're secret soldiers gifted with powers. Our powers come from our transformation crystals, with them we can transform into our Soldier forms. Other than than though, we're still human." I explained to him.

"Well... That is interesting. You're one of a kind. I have never heard of something similar." Ronin studied us.

I cleared my throat.

"I gotta find my friends. They could be lost out in the forest." I stated.

"You can't leave the castle. It's too dangerous." He said almost immediately.

"Looking for me?" Soldier Fire walked inside with a woman beside her, guiding her.

"Fire!" I proclaimed and ran over to her to give her a hug.

"Flora...? Where have you been?" Ronin asked the woman.

"I was making sure everything was going well in the forest. Luckily for this girl, I stumbled upon her." She referred to Soldier Fire.

The woman, Flora, was very pretty. There was a very... Calming aura coming from her. Almost like... Healing.

Her hair was a unique shade of green with a couple of lighter highlights.

I changed my attention back to Soldier Fire.

"Fire, have you seen Soldier Water anywhere?" I looked up at her bright red eyes.

"No... I'm sorry. I thought she might be with you." She looked around and then back to me.

"When I woke up. I didn't see Water anywhere." Electricity spoke up.

"We gotta go back to look for her." I stated firmly.

"Woah! I'm sorry but you can't leave! I already explained it is way too dangerous." Ronin, once again said loudly.
