CHAPTER 3 - THE CRESCENT MARK

Noah's eyes widen as he grasps the graveness of the situation.

A rogue is a pack member who is exiled from the pack for good. Some of them are too powerful to be held at the pack prison and so they are banished from the pack grounds. These wolves had either committed treason, mass murdered families or even raped their own blood.

We can feel his eyes watching us, his breath, his heartbeat.

But we can't quite spot him, which only makes it worst.

"Must be a skilled wolf to master that technique" Noah says as he looks around with cautious eyes.

He and I come closer with our backs towards each other, both our stances are now firmer and defensive.

I get my dagger from my thigh holster while Noah gets his silver chain off his neck which elongates into a deadly metallic lash and wraps it around his knuckles.

"Where is Oha--?! I spot a shadow swiftly move by us and before my reflexes could catch up to me, The Rogue pounces towards me, I instantly dodge his move and push Noah to safety as I fall to my knees.

I take this chance to get my ankle dagger out quickly.

I brace myself as I stand back up to fight. We got this girl! I tell myself.

He comes at me again, springing off the bamboo stem as he attempts to rip off my face.

Noah wraps his lash around the Rogue and tosses him at least a good 10ft across from us.

To our astonishment he lands perfectly on his feet clawing out the uneven damp ground. He looks at us with blood shot red eyes and smirks, which totally creeps me out.

I take this moment to cuss Ohadh. Delightfully.

"WHERE THE HELL IS OHADH ?!?! I ask furiously.

Noah and I look at each other nervously as he comes at us. AGAIN!!!

I move forward, with my daggers and his claws clinking back and forth as sparks go off.

His moves are efficient and quick, I observe. I manage to slash through his clothes and barely slit his arm.

I get startled to notice 'The crescent mark' that only the Seven warriors who protect Mount Zenaedya bare on their arm.

Wait...Whaaaaaaat?!?!?!

As Noah jumps and attempts to chock him by gripping the lash around his neck. He knocks me over to one side and tries to get Noah off his back.

I injure my right shoulder as I hit and ricochet off the bamboo stem.

He grabs Noah's collar and pulls him, slamming him on the ground and leaps to bite his head off.

Suddenly, I feel a strong gush of wind, aimed at the rogue from a distance which passes by me in a flash. I could tell by the power of it, who was aiding us without even looking.

"About time you showed up, Ohadh!!" I say out loud while rolling my eyes.

He shouts out to us "You guys do know the only one way to survive this and make it to the sacred cliff on time, Right." Grinning.

We start running as our lives depended on it, LITERALLY!

Barely making it through the enchantment portal before it closed.
