Episode 01 - Escaping Young Boy
The sun was at its highest point. A young boy who is between the ages of nine and twelve is running through the grassland and it seems he is trying to get to the nearby forest. He was not enjoying his run, but it seemed he was running away from something, as if he was running for his life. As you look closer, the young boy is covered in bruises. Half of his face is bleeding and swollen, as if he was hit multiple times. His left eye is already closed because of the swelling. His right eye could still be opened, but tears were already gushing out from it and pouring down his trembling lips, with a slight cut like an open wound.
An arrow struck his left leg. He fell to the ground and tumbled. He tried to stand up but his limbs were already shaking, from both fear and loss of strength. He noticed that an arrow was sticking out of his left leg. He did not feel any pain at first, but he suddenly screamed and cried loudly. The nearby forest's birds got scared and flew off.
The boy then heard an obnoxious laugh. It was getting louder by the second. A male suddenly spoke with a big and grating voice, "Hey, boy. Why did yah stop running?" As the young boy was trembling. He looked up at the owner of the voice. It was the old man who kidnaped and tortured him. The old man was holding a crossbow. The crossbow was very familiar to him, as it was the young boy's creation.
The young boy's lips were shaking. His breath is also panting. He was unable to speak. The boy suddenly felt a jolt of pain from his abdomen. He was mercilessly kicked by the old man and the young boy flew a few meters away and skidded on the ground. As the old man was laughing from the joy of him torturing the young boy, he approached the young boy again. The young boy hurled blood and digested food from his mouth and cried more.
The young boy suddenly screamed from the pain in his left leg. The old man lightly stomped on his left leg, where the arrow pierced. The old man said, "Don't worry, boy. I made sure I di'n't hit any bones from yah." The boy did not stop from screaming. The old man's eyebrows got closer and his forehead became more wrinkled. The old man shouted "The f**k, boy! Why don't cha stop screaming!" and he ground his foot even more at the boy's injured leg. The young boy suddenly collapsed and fainted from the extreme pain.
A small projectile suddenly flew out from the nearby forest and was deflected by the old man with his short sword from his waist. The projectile hit the ground and the old man confirmed it. It was a dagger. He then aimed his crossbow at the origin point of the projectile. He just noticed that they were already a few meters away from the forest. He saw a silhouette of a human-like creature and shouted with an angry voice "Who the f**k ar yah!?" The creature showed itself. It was a wolf demi-human, local to the forest.
A demi-human with silver fur covering his forearm and forelegs. Long furry silver hair. Ears, covered with silver fur and located nearly on top of its head. A furry silver tail, that is slowly shaking from side to side. The nails look as sharp as a wolf's claw. Eyes, bright yellow pupils. There is no doubt this demi-human is the descendant of the Silver-furred Magna Wolf.
One distinct feature of this demi-human is his scar on his right cheek. Wearing leather armor as his protection and wielding a dagger. Similar to the thrown dagger earlier. The demi-human slowly walked towards the old man. The old man said with a threatening and scared tone, "Don't Move! I will shoot!" the demi-human did not falter, he continued to walk.
The demi-human noticed the emblem of the young boy. His facial expression changed from emotionless to sharp piercing eyes. The old man got scared by the demi-human's facial expression. He began to sweat, and his aim was shaking. He suddenly remembers a story about a clan of demi-human-beast with silver fur who reside in the forest where the light of the sun never reaches the center.
Silvacanis Clan, the clan of the silver-furred wolf demi-human. They are the protectors of the great forest, Solnullus. Legend says once upon a time, a rogue flame dragon burnt almost half of the forest. But before the rogue dragon could finish its desire, it was killed by demi-humans that came from the Silvacanis Clan.
The old man's heartbeat suddenly increased and he sweated profusely. He tried shooting out multiple arrows using the crossbow. The demi-human suddenly disappeared as the arrows hit the ground. The old man, who was in fear, aimed for the young boy's head. As the arrow traveled away from the crossbow. It was cut from the arrowpoint to the feather-end, the moment it flew.
The old man tried to shoot more of the arrows. But he did not realize it. His arm that was holding the crossbow was already on the ground. As it was sliced off by the demi-human, without him knowing what happened. He then screamed as he tried to stop the blood spewing out of his dismembered arm. His mood suddenly changed and became furious as he looked at the demi-human who was already mending the young severely injured boy with his healing magic.
The old man shouted with a raging voice, "Yah son of a b***h!" And tried to swing his short sword towards the demi-human. But the demi-human was too fast for him. The old man's remaining arm flew off and blood spewed from him again. He was screaming like the young boy earlier. Then the demi-human jabbed him in his face and the old man's eyes turned all white as he fainted.
The demi-human used fire magic to burn and close the wound of the old man. But he did not reattach his arms. He then went back to the young boy. He removed the arrow from the boy's left leg and burned it with fire magic to close the wound and cast healing magic. Unfortunately, the demi-human was not efficient at healing magic. He was only giving the young boy first aid. A few moments later, the boy is temporarily stable. But pain could still be seen on his face.
A demi-human with a wolf's characteristics has powerful hearing ability. They can hear a heartbeat a few meters away. With his skill, he already knew that more of the old man's companions were coming their way. The demi-human spoke with a gentle and monotone voice, "Cameyo, bring this child to our elder. Once he sees his emblem, he'll know what to do." a young demi-human with snow-white fur revealed himself from the shadow of the forest trees and hurriedly ran towards the unconscious young boy. The young demi-human carried the young boy on his back and ran towards the dark forest and disappeared.
The demi-human picked up the dagger he had thrown earlier and the old man's short sword. A few moments later, a large group of men, equipped with different protection and weapons arrived at their location. He noticed there was a knight covered with golden plated armor, with a dragon insignia. He was sure that this knight was a person from the capital. He knows this knight is on par with his strength or could be stronger.
