We took a boat to the Haunted Woods. Seeing the dark,
decrepit trees with the holes in the trunk made me feel like I was being watched
the whole time. Yet also feeling at home if I would have been in my WereLupe
form.
The boat dropped us off at the docks and seemed
to leave in a hurry. We then walked into the Haunted Woods.
Maylas was armed with his duel Silver Drake
Swords, a Silver Drake Helm, and a Grand Lightning Beam for just in case. I
was armed to the teeth. I wore my iron Lupe helm, iron Lupe boots, a Lupe Chia
bomb, a Lupe grabber jaw, a Lupe reflective shield, an ancient Lupe wand, and
my favorite, the deadly duel iron Lupe swords. Khell came only with a Gelert
wand. I guess he was going to rely on poking Balthazar if we found him. Moon
kept her items secretive. I had no idea what she had.
We walked deeper into the woods keeping our
wits about us. Maylas was in the lead since he knew the way. I followed behind
him keeping my ears opened for anything.
The deeper we went, the darker it seemed to
be. Nothing looked like the parts of the Haunted Woods I was in. Where all the
stores are. Suddenly, I heard a rustling to my left. No one else but me heard
it.
“Maylas, stop,” I said cautiously. He stopped
and looked at me.
“What?” he whispered back.
“We’re not alone,” I growled looking around
trying to find who it was. Khell was busy picking his nose when he noticed everyone
was being serious and stopped to put on his serious face.
I stood there trying to find the person. They
were quiet but not quiet enough to keep from my ears. I soon figured out we
were surrounded. I gulped and slowly reached for my Lupe Chia Bomb. Maylas eyes
widened and was about to say something but I gave him a glare to shut him up.
He knew I would only use this if we were really in trouble. I grabbed my bomb
and flicked my claw on the fuse. I felt it light and begin to spark. I counted
to two in my head then heaved it into the bushes. I bright flash and a bang
exploded from where it landed. A few yelps came with it. I finally saw our stalkers.
They were Shadow Lupes! They growled and sneered at me with their yellow eyes
while their body seemed to blend into the woods. I didn’t give them the chance
to re-hide themselves. I charged one of them and rammed it with my Iron Lupe
Helm. It went flying back into a tree and, with a yelp, fell. Maylas attacked
another with his swords and took down another. More began to charge from the
forest at us. I blocked an attack with my shield and hacked at my opponent with
my sword.
Suddenly, a yipe came from where Khell and Moon
were. Moon was in a sitting position chanting something while Khell poked any
Shadow Lupes in the eyes that came near them. I knew he wouldn’t last much longer
so I ran to them and began to defend Moon wondering what she was doing. As I
blocked one attack with my shield and struck back at the Lupe, a bright flash
came from behind me. The shadow Lupes quickly began to run away. I looked back
to she Moon slowly dimming from the light she produced.
“Moon, how did you do that?” I asked astonished.
She smiled at me.
“I used my ability spark. I guess for being
a starry Lupe, its a lot stronger. I figured those shadow Lupes hated the light
since they scattered when your Chia bomb went off.” She explained. I sheathed
my sword and returned my shield to my back.
“Well, now that’s over, lead the way Maylas,”
I said.
No answer.
“Maylas?” I quickly looked around for him. Maylas
was no where in sight.
