The Ahuizotl looked at Dragan with some seriousness. “The elf woman from yesterday can take care of my daughter. I need to test my new powers.”
Dragan nodded and asked to call the woman, who in just a few minutes came running, when the Ahuizotl delivered little Diana.
He looked at her fondly. “Diana, Dad has to work to pay for his new powers.”
The Ahuizotl turned into its humanoid form, which was now different as part of its body had red lines.
Using his hand, he created a flame which little Diana wanted to grasp.
The Ahuizotl just smiled and stroked his daughter’s head “Dad doesn’t control his fire so you can’t touch her, but I promise you that in the future.
You can be within my flames without being burned. “
After testing his fire magic for a while, he jumped a few times and began to approach the gate of the wall.
Which jumped like the bridge that crossed the green river.
Seeing the burned ground from the previous day the Ahuizotl sighed and used his magical energy to create a reddish-black miasma.
Having his protection from miasma, he began to run and when he reached the limit with the cursed forest; he opened his hands and began to use his fire to burn the forest.
Fortunately, no skeleton attacked him while he burned the forest. They did not even approach him because it only took him half an hour to finish the 19 kilometers.
When he reached the oasis, he smiled because he knew his work was done, but at that moment the ground began to shake and from inside the forest, gigantic bone ogres began to emerge.
Holding huge rusty swords in their hands, the orcs gave a thunderous cry and began to run towards the Ahuizotl.
The Ahuizotl only grit his teeth and started a fight against those orcs. At first it was not complicated but killing a small group.
He had to face hordes of skeletons that came out of the forest. The Ahuizotl feeling that he could not continue in that way began to run.
This to try to flee from that place before his time as a humanoid will come to an end, because there were no trees he was able to escape quickly.
Well, it moved too fast, even though it had to be protecting itself from the constant attack of the skeletons.
Because of the speed he had, he was able to dodge most of the attacks against him, but even with that, he suffered some injuries, which he ignored because his mission was simply to escape.
After running for a few minutes that were almost eternal, he was able to reach the bridge, so with a last jump he managed to reach the door, which he crossed while breathing with some difficulty.
Dragan, who had seen everything from the walls, watched as the skeletons screamed with hatred before disappearing among the trees of the cursed forest.
‘That Ahuizotl achieved it. I believe that he fulfilled his mission.
Now we can finally establish a great base in the middle of the cursed forest. It may not be the best place to be, but at least we can understand better.
How the cursed forest is made up and what things we can do to prepare for any kind of attack even if we can get some Druids.
If they agree to donate their magic, we could increase the size of the forest oasis, perhaps at some point we could have a safe path through the cursed forest.
But that will be something we will have to do for hundreds of years. ‘
Dragan sighed and stepped down from the walls to see the Ahuizotl who was breathing heavily.
“You want me to bring in a healer wizard to treat your wounds.”
The Ahuizotl shook his head and blinked before lifting his torso, using his magic a golden fruit appeared which he ate in a single bite.
This was a good idea as it made the Ahuizotl feel that his body was recovering, not to mention that the sweet taste of the fruit helped him to think clearly.
When he swallowed the golden fruit, he could feel a sense of tranquility, as his body had fully recovered.
So he got up and decided to return to his normal form. After returning to his dog aspect the Ahuizotl looked at Dragan with a smile.
“I think I have finished the mission to which I committed myself, but I have to continue on my way with my little daughter.
Could you guide me out of this area of the forest? “
Dragan nodded and, with a signal, asked the elf woman to take the little Diana to the hand of the Ahuizotl. The elf woman led the little Diana to her father.
“She was very well behaved, and she didn’t cry at all, she just seemed to be a little sad that you left.”
The Ahuizotl looked fondly at his daughter and stroked her back with his hand before looking at Dragan.
“Come with me. I will take you to the exit of our territory. When we leave this place, you must be prepared because the territory that follows is owned by the ogres.
Although they are mostly calm, many of them will love your daughter, so you have to be careful. I know that you are strong, but better not risk it.
Well, they are very resistant to magic, so if you want to fight against them, you must use melee weapons or your claws.
Well, otherwise a fight with them could be useless. When you leave that area, there should be two roads, one that passes through a city in the mountains.
While the other one goes through the territory of the harpies, just like the ogres, they will not kill species like you, but little Diana is a valuable prey for them.
If you want advice, go through the mountain city and head to the forest again. Just be careful in the city as you may be attacked for taking a girl.
To pass I recommend, you use your humanoid aspect, as an irregular no one will mess with you.
You could rent a room in a hotel and spend the rest of the day before returning to your humanoid form and leaving that place.
Also, be careful because in that place the slave trade is common, because being a free city it does not belong to any kingdom or theocracy.
They are places where the strongest can speak and the weak can only be silent and watched in silence. “
After this Dragan moved his way to the limit of his territory while the Ahuizotl followed him with his daughter on his back.
