Ten Years Later: I lost my Mom, along with my Dad and other tribe members, during that fateful attack by the werewolves. The only person I had left was my Uncle Fred. He managed to gather our remaining people together and transformed us into skilled warriors, so that we could defend ourselves against the werewolf threat. I had been bitterly training ever since, having no time to rest. I searched everywhere, slaying and killing every werewolf I set my eyes upon, driven by a burning desire for revenge. Today, I was training at the training field, my sparring partners already shaking with fear. Although there were four of them, they were still afraid to face me. I let out a smile and charged towards them. I moved with lightning-fast reflexes, skillfully dodging their attacks and disarming them one after the other. My strikes were precise and powerful, honed by years of relentless training. My opponents tried desperately to land a hit, but I was too quick for them. I whirled and danced around them, even without using my magical powers they were still weak before me. Finally, I had them all lying at my feet, their weapons scattered. I stood over them, my chest heaving slightly from the exertion, but my eyes burned with a determination that could not be extinguished. "Again!" I barked, offering them a hand up. "You all need to be faster, stronger. The werewolves won't hesitate to rip you apart if you show even the slightest weakness. "They nodded, their faces set with renewed resolve. We resumed our sparring, the clashing of steel and the crackle of magic filling the air. As I fought, my mind drifted to the fateful night when I lost my parents. Now I'm almost at the peak of my magical powers, I had already awakening my guardian spirit. Most mages awakening their guardian spirit at the age of 18, but I was able to achieve that at the age of 10 The image of my mother's brave last stand against the wolves was seared into my memory, fueling my relentless pursuit of vengeance. After the grueling training session, I headed to the nearby river to take a much-needed bath. The cool, refreshing water was a welcome relief for my aching muscles. As I removed my sweat-soaked shirt, I caught a glimpse of the deep scar that marred my arm - a grim reminder of my encounter with the wolf all those years ago. The wound had long since healed, but the memory of that terrifying moment still haunted me. I sighed heavily, letting the water wash away the grime and tension from my body. In the solitude of this peaceful setting, my mind drifted back to that fateful night when I lost my parents.The image of my mother's brave last stand against the wolves was seared into my memory, fueling my relentless pursuit of vengeance. The image of my mother's brave last stand against the wolves was a constant reminder of my own weakness and inability to protect my family. I clenched my fists, feeling the familiar surge of rage and frustration coursing through me. If only I had been stronger, faster, more powerful – maybe I could have saved them. The thought of my helplessness in that moment made my blood boil. And I released my fire energy unknowingly, the water started boiling. I closed my eyes and calmed myself down, suddenly a guards came "Uncle Fred seeks your presence” he said. I nodded, my mind still racing with thoughts of my family and the werewolves that took them from me. I quickly got out of the river, putting on my shirt and following the guard to Uncle Fred's chambers. As I entered, I saw Uncle Fred sitting at his desk, his face grave with concern. "Lucian, I've received news from our scouts," he said, his voice low and serious. "The werewolves are gathering in the old ruins, preparing for another attack." My grip on my sword tightened, my heart racing with anticipation. "When do we leave?" I asked, my voice firm and resolute. Uncle Fred looked at me with a mix of pride and worry. "We leave at dawn, Lucian. But I need you to be careful. You're not just fighting for our tribe, you're fighting for your own revenge. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment." I nodded, understanding the weight of his words. I had to keep my focus, no matter how much I wanted to unleash my fury on the werewolves. As I left Uncle Fred's chambers, I felt a sense of purpose wash over me. I was ready for this battle, ready to face whatever lay ahead. And as I walked through the halls, I could feel the eyes of my fellow warriors upon me, their faces set with determination. We were all in this together, and together, we would take down the werewolves and avenge our fallen loved ones. The next morning, we set out for the old ruins, our armor shining in the sunlight, our swords at the ready. The air was tense with anticipation, our hearts beating as one. As we approached the ruins, we could see a large number of soldiers. We charged towards them, caught by surprise they instantly shifted into humanoid wolves. The battle was fierce and chaotic, the sounds of clashing steel and the roars of werewolves filling the air. I fought with all my strength and skill, my magical powers aiding me in the heat of battle. I moved like a whirlwind, cutting down werewolves left and right, my vengeance burning hot within me. But as I fought, I could see Uncle Fred struggling against a powerful werewolf, his strength faltering. Without a second thought, I rushed to his side, my sword slicing through the air and striking down the werewolf before it could harm him. Uncle Fred looked at me with gratitude, his eyes filled with pride. Just as we thought that the battle was over we heard a loud howl, as a huge wolf charge towards us killing any mages it come in contact with, in other to protect themselves they release their guardian spirits, just then a beautiful werewolf warrior join the battle field and single handedly killing my troops even though she had not shifted into her wolf form. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I could see a fierce determination burning within them. She was a skilled fighter, and her beauty belied a deadly precision. I charged towards her, my sword flashing in the sunlight, but she was no pushover. She parried my blows with ease, her sword slicing through the air with a grace and deadly intent. “It’s not wise for a werewolf to fight a mage in her human form” I said with a sinister cold voice. As we fought, I could see the huge wolf, its eyes fixed on me, its jaws open wide, revealing razor-sharp teeth. I knew I had to take it down, but the warrior was a formidable opponent, and I couldn't afford to be distracted. The battle raged on, the sounds of clashing steel and the roars of werewolves filling the air. I fought with all my strength and skill. But the warrior was a force to be reckoned with, and I found myself on the defensive, her sword slicing through my defenses, her eyes burning with a fierce intensity, I immediately bound her with my magical powers. Just when I thought I was gaining the upper hand, the huge wolf intervened, its claws closing in on me, it knocked me to floor leaving a deep cut in my chest, I let out a painful groan. The wolf launch another dead attack, it jaws closing in to my neck, I turned to my left and saw uncle Fred fighting against four huge werewolves, “Lucian get up and finish this” he said as he unleashed his magical reducing the werewolves around him to nothing but ash. Just as the huge werewolf was about to behead me, an explosive sound echoed through out the surrounding followed by an earthquake. Before me was a huge gigantic being armed with an axe and clad in armor.
