The Dungeon

{After a few days, near an old dungeon on the Island }

It has been a few days since I started training with my father, I have been training everyday before lunch.

 Right now I am going in the forest region to take in mana & enhance my mana control. 

This island is isolated, our house is located near the coast in the direction of the kingdom, the kingdom appears just as a vague blurry landmass & is not visible much.

On the other side of this island is a dense big forest & there is also an old dungeon in that forest.

Father had said that one of the reasons why no one stays on this island is because of that dungeon, because it may reactivate again, but that is most likely possible after some 100years.

I had read it in the book "Basics of Mana & Elemental Arts" that the concentration of Mana is high inside the forest & even higher near a dungeon.

That's why forests are the best places to take in mana from outside. People normally avoid going near dungeons because of them being dangerous but since this one has been inactive for a long time now I think it's ok to come here. 

I wanna take as much mana as I can to become stronger..., oh I am finally here, wow that's one big dungeon cave I wonder how big it is inside. But I don't plan on going in, there is enough dense mana outside. 

Ok now looking at a place to sit..., there near this tree is fine. It feels really nice here, the mana is making me feel even more energized than before.

I gotta take in as much as I can & keep controlling it at the same time..., ohk it's going good, it's hard to control this dense mana but I think I can do it. 

*faint sounds*

"Huh ? What is this sound ?"

I should enhance my hearing..., ok let's focus on the sound now

*Increasing sound of approaching fast footsteps*

What ! What is this ?! The sound is coming from inside the dungeon, is there still a monster in there or maybe a beast has taken residence inside.

Whatever it is, it's approaching fast I gotta hide. Going on top of this tree won't be enough I gotta get further away on top of another tree..., Here should be enough.

*Increasing loud sounds of fast running footsteps*

Enhancing my vision I can somewhat see a faint figure it's becoming bigger & clearer as it's getting closer, its running out but why is it running like that ? Is it being chased ? If yes then by who ?!

It didn't take long for the answer to arrive,within in a few seconds both of them came running out, the one ahead had a big lion like figure & the one chasing it appeared to have a humanoid figure.

The big lion like beast was carrying something in its mouth, I enhanced my vision more but it wasn't needed since that big beast was coming in my direction, I gotta run but I don't know if it has seen me yet or not.

The thing it was holding in its mouth became clear. It was it's cub, the big beast kept the cub near a tree & turned around to face it's approacher.

When it had come near me though it was still a bit far away I realised just how big it was...

"What the hell is that !?"
