CHAPTER FOUR
Sky brought Theo out of the river dropped him on a rock and joined the other warewolf Hunters to defend the city against the warewolves attacking. Suddenly Theo who was laying unconscious start's screaming.
In Theo's conscious, he still speaking with is future self; From this moment on, the past and the future are one. And I will let my power inside you!
Theo, who's overflowing in surge that's floating in the air and wondered; He said there was price to pay, I told him I didn't care. You would have done the same thing if you we're in my shoes.
Mary who is exhausted from fighting the Alpha, speaks to him ' You're pretty tough. By any chance, are you the Supreme Alpha or something?'.The Alpha replied ' What did you just say? You'd dare compare the lowly likes of one such as i....to the almighty God of our bloodline? You inferior animal!
In anger, emmited flames from his body and tried to blast her with one but she evaded his attack. Still surrounded by flames, he told her is name ' I am called Greyrat. I am the Tenth Seat of the Claw. I'm the lowliest of what you humans call Superior Dragons'. Mary holds her blade her blade more firmly in shock. He proceeded to say '
I have an interesting tidbit to share with you, foolish creature. The reason this city and then this kingdom will be destroyed.... Is because the great God of our bloodline worships, relishes the confections humans create as offerings. In particular our God is....., I mean was fond of a shop in. Although our God was an immensely loyal patron of this pastry shop, it was robbed and went out of business the other day. Even though we, the Wings, were generously providing protection to the city! Our God was deeply saddened by this and said,"Forget it. Lay waste to the kingdom." That's the reason for this. The whims of our God decides the fate of the human nations. Did you get the impression that this was a real battle? We never even bothered to take you seriously. Warewolf hunters are no threat to our bloodline. Are you able to comprehend your own insignificance now? Then dieeeeeeee!'
As Greyrat was about to make his attack on Mary, he felt a presence behind him. He looked back to see what was behind him. To his surprise all the wolves in is pack we're all dead and completely frozen. He asked himself ' is it an illusion? No! Something is coming.
Theo who was left on the rock, was now in front of the Alpha. He removes all his armor and ties his jacket on his waist. Both Mary and Sky who were battling the Alpha are suprised on what was going on with Theo. Theo walks past everyone slowly but everyone else appears to be stuck in time. He walks towards the warewolves ahead of him. They started to surround him.
' After I decided to exterminate all warewolves, I blindly pursed that goal. I almost died countless times. I survived over and over again. And then fought again. And I lost and lost and lost....and won, over and over again. Then won over and over again and still fought warewolves! I fought like that for twelve years. Gradually, I realized my silver sword was part of me, and I was part of my sword. My arm and silver sword became one. It was an eerie experience. But it didn't interfere with my warewolf hunting. My body screamed in pain, but I ignored it and countinued to fight. Six years later I was completely fused with my silver sword. My body itself became a weapon that radiated surge. .Then two years later I developed a method to increase my body's surge.Three years later I learnt how to control surge at will. I surpassed the limits of human ability, and finally I mastered the ultimate battle technique. The Pinnacle of warewolf annhilation. Surge Battle Arts. Theo thought to himself. As he raised his hands, surge starts emerging from it. Just a mere touch with the warewolves, they turn to ice and break. He killed more and more warewolves, till he killed all in the blink of an eye. He then confronted the Alpha Greyrat. As he touched Greyrat and he gradually turned to ice. Greyrat thought to himself 'i know this sensation. It's the same sensation I feel towards the Alpha packs, those chosen by God to be leaders of the bloodlines. It's the terror and awe felt towards a being possessing ultimate power'. Impossible! This cannot be possible, Greyrat screams as the ice which was forming on his head shatters. Flames burst from his body as he changes from his human-like form to his true form i.e a warewolf. How could I fear a human? How could I fear a mere human? It cannot be so! Behold my true form and the magical power of my blood at it's full might! Only in this form is my ultimate power' unleashed! And that is.....
Before Greyrat could complete the sentence, Theo touched him and said 'FREEZE'. He completely turns to ice then shattered.
Theo, Mary screams.' How useless I've felt for not having...the power I now possess on that day. How I longed to see you' Theo thought as he ran towards her. It was future self emotions that was kicking in. He hug's her and began to cry; Mary! Mary!
Mary smile's and taps is head and tells him ' I survived, I'm alive. I'm sure you worked really hard, didn't you? Theo still laying on the floor replied I didn't! The one who actually did all the hard work wasn't me. But he's not here anymore! He thought himself ' but I know his life story.i know how much he missed Mary. Mary thanks Theo for saving her life.
In partial universe, Theo's future self stand in front of a woman with red hair and two different colored eye balls. She says; You died standing up, huh? I told you there was a price to be paid. The past you who's taking this on won't live long either. Despite that.... You have such a sentimental look on your face. We've been together for a long time, this is the first time I've seen you without a frown. Everything now hinges on the past. All hopes a creating a world where there are no warewolves, is entirely dependent on our past selves.
On that day, seven of Reeve's cities were attacked. Six of those cities fell including the capital. On that very same day, the Reaper of warewolves was born.
After Theo collapsed he was taking to the inn to rest. When he woke up , Mary explains the situation of the city to him. All the dragon's are gone, she said, and the fires have subsided, but half the city has been destroyed. There were so many casualties.
Theo starts crying tears of happiness that Mary is alive. What are you crying over? Freak. Sky who was waiting at the door asked. Sky, Theo said as he sees him. That will be Mr. Sky to you, sky said. Mary looking confused asked 'Why is Number Two here?'. Sky screams 'What? First of all, this is my house! You're the one who asked me to rent a room to you since the cottage burned down! Have some gratitude!'. Thank you,Theo replied. Sky asked what he was planning on doing after everything that happened. He says it would be best to leave the country. The Dragon God demanded that this kingdom be erased to the ground. The dragon's treat their God's word as law, so they won't go after us if we cross the border. Luckily, this city is close to the border. We need to move quick. Sky stops him to ask. Are you really Theo? The Theo I know has no talent or skills and doesn't have much brain either. He's a parasitic, shitty nobody! What the hell is going on? What happened back there? Answer me. Who are you? Answer me Theo!
That....was..... Theo answered as he lies on the bed. He fell asleep, Mary said. Now of all times?! Sky replys. He can't help it. 'His powers must be the result of him training super hard when I wasn't watching. But it's draining him and making him unstable' Mary says. Theo starts saying Mary's name even when he was sleeping. Mary...Mary...Mary.' it's alright, I'm right here. That's why... You will need me. Right, Theo?' She said to him as he slept. Huh? What did you say? Nothing she replies.
Booom!, A sound burst from outside. Both Mary and Sky ran and looked through the window. As they looked they saw plants moving on it own and attacking the city. Sky went to the balcony of the hill and announced to everyone ' The forest his attacking us!. Mary ran as fast as she can towards the trees.
As Theo slept, he sees the woman in red hair who tells him that ' come now, let our path cross. This is where out story begins.
