" ughhhh...my life sucks some times." I was frustrated not only because of what happened but because of what I was hearing
" no rest for the wicked I suppose." Groaning i got off the blankets i was laying on an stretched a little everything was hurting
When I was done I i reached behind me an pulled down my mask just as a man flung the tent open violently panting with a sword in his hand still dripping with blood
Seeing me his eyes went wide an he bolted out " run he is awk-." His yelling was cut off by a blade exiting his mouth
" Congratulations you have successfully pissed me the the fuck off!" Pulling back my blade i sped to another assassin that was fighting a guard an cut him down before he could even draw another breath
With blue lightning sparking off me I ran around cutting down every attack I could get to saving guards,villagers and wolfgar who was being out numbered by a group of five the chief was fighting with him in animalistic style contrasting his cousins style
Within minutes of me joining them their enemies were dead " what happened while I was out?" Hearing more fighting my question would have to wait
Moving to the noise rede and kana were protecting wolfgar's wives and children with the fox girl who knocked me out earlier
I noticed she was getting overwhelmed by her attacker,she didn't look used to actually life and death fights, this allowed the man she was fighting to get the upper hand on her an land a solid knocking her away
luckily she didn't seem too hurt from the attack but she was stunned long enough for the man to turn his attention to one of wolfgar's wives specifically Shane's mother who was still holding their baby
This was who his first target was aiming his blade to take the child's life only for them to be flung away by a invisible force
With a flick of my finger flung the child towards wolfgar as he hurriedly caught the baby and comforting them, not missing a beat he turned his blade aiming to take the mother's life but yet again was stop by a force he couldn't see
Clicking his tongue he kicked her away before giving me a deathly glare disappearing in a puff of smoke
" were do you think your going, you aren't slick." Smirking i appeared in what looked like a random patch of snow and thrust my hand into it
My magic circle appeared on that section of snow as lightning erupted everywhere slowly i pulled the man out of the ground by his throat while all he could do was look at me in terror " your a monster."me managed to eck that out of his mouth
" for thoes like you always,I'm the one who comes and the one who waits nobody can escape my gaze an all evil will know my name." Snapping his neck i tossed his body to the side and made my way back to everyone
Walking over to the kitsune i helped her up
" thank you for saving them." She didn't look at me as she said this " dont make yourself feel so bad, fighting people is difficult then monsters you'll get better at it."
" i dont want to get better at it." I heard he whisper as her father came running to her
" are you all right, can you move properly." He started frantically worrying about her
" help someone please." Rushing over i saw kana holding Shane trying to stop the blood spilling from his side were a crossbow bolt had hit him
" hang on baby you'll be fine." She was lying he was losing blood fast and the bolt was dipped in a poison killing him quickly
" I'm sorry we dont have a healer here." Listening to their chat i realized I was the only one here able to do something,disappearing for a moment I reappeared next to Shane holding a syringe and injected it next to his wound
" this will keep him from dying from the blood loss but the poison still needs to be cleansed I'll take him back to my town." Picking up the pale child i teleported away getting Shane to doc so he can get to work on him asap."
" will he be fine." I nodded at wolfgar trying to calm him and his wife " yes you know doc he is the best healer I have seen he will be fine."
" can you take us to please i dont want to leave him alone. " nodding I walked over to wolfgar's first wife an put my hand on her shoulder to teleport us but I only spit up a mouth full of blood
" fuck." My body tipped in one direction losing strength to keep myself up thankful before I face planted wolfgar caught me " you still haven't recovered you should rest for now."
I hummed in agreement not able to say anything hoisting me over his shield he led me to the chiefs tent to rest while said chief checked on his people an clear the body's
" I'm sorry you guys got caught up in this." I felt bad that his family got caught up in my problem " I wouldn't jump to conclusions you aren't the only one people want dead."
" She is right it have been getting attempts on my life recently." I wasn't expecting to hear this from him but i guess it made some sense we did kinda overthrow the last ruler by force I'm sure there are some that see his reign as unworthy despite what he has accomplished
To tell the truth it made me feel better to know it wasn't because of me his son us badly injury
Coming in holding food for everyone, I didn't realize how hungry I was until I got my portion of food " gods this is amazing, I haven't had something this good since I appeared in this world"
I couldn't hold back an let out a little moan the richness of the flavors were divine complimenting the meat and what looked like potatoes soaking in the stew
Each bite with every together was truly a experience, I had to hold myself back from emptying my bowl in seconds
" i need to hire who ever made this to be my family cook I can't get enough."despite my best effort I still devoured my food " can I get some more please."
Smiling the kitsune took my now empty bowl and left to get me some more " you know she was the one who made this." Her mother spoke up after chuckling seeing her daughters reaction
" she should really focus on this instead of her elements has a real talent for it."
" can you blame her when the man she admires walks into her home." I blinked a couple times before I understood what she was saying it had to reply my interactions with the kitsune
" ever since she heard about their being someone that could control the same elements as her she has been working very hard to control her's and for the most part she has succeeded in doing so,it even helped her come out of her shell." A smile graced her face remembering how far her daughter had come in such a short time
" before she was very shy and reserved not wanting to get to close to someone since her elements could go off had the slightest hint of strong emotions." Lifting up her arm she pulled back one of her sleeves showing off a scar that ran up her arm like jagged lines
" both of us hold scars from when she wasn't able to control herself, it broke my heart to watch her...been so afraid of herself and hurting others that it pushed her to never interact with anyone cooking food that people enjoyed was the only time I have ever seen her truly smile." Her voice was cracking as she spoke trying to hold back her tears
" until she heard about you the stories he would tell about you inspired her to get control over her elements were previously she thought it would be impossible, everyday she trained to control her elements hurting herself in the process took almost a year before she could finally show some emotions with causing something to happen but she has been unable to pushed any further, that why I'm ever grateful that you agreed to help train her please take care of my daughter."
Hearing her story i saw how similar i use to be to her daughter s though we had different reasons for our actions " I swear I'll do what ever i can to help your daughter get control over her elements though i probably won't be the best teacher."
Shaking her head she wiped away some water from her eyes " that doesn't matter i just want her to be happy that's all she deserves just like the rest of us don't you agree."
I nodded to her just as her daughter re-entered placing a full bowl in front of me
I couldn't help but look at her differently after hearing her struggles from her mom " what?is there something on me." The comical look on her face made me chuckle
" i was just thinking as soon as I feel better we should start your training and get a moving up the mountains."
