《Rise My Elementals! 》Chapter 61: Finally finding his way back
Advertisement
The moon was in full circle tonight. The moonlight was brightly lighting up in the sky and the ground. The Yellow Forest, despite being dark, was unusually bright at this moment.
On the top of a tall yellow tree, a figure was silently standing. Hiding behind an inconspicuous stem, looking around the ground that was lightened up by the bright moon up the sky.
This figure was Leo. He was standing still on the top of a tree stem, while currently following behind a pack of Yellow Fur Wolf. Leading the pack of wolves was a Yellow Fur Alpha Wolf, a near to One Star Magical Beast. Unlike all the other Yellow Fur Wolf, this Alpha Wolf was bigger and brighter in yellow color. Its jaws were also longer, and its four ankles and tail had also formed a seemingly flame-like shape, which simply implies that this Yellow Fur Alpha Wolf was nearing the stage of its evolution to a One Star Magical Beast.
The Yellow Fur Alpha Wolf was the reason why Leo was currently hiding on the top of a tall yellow tree at a distance of more than 20 meters.
Following behind this pack of Yellow Fur Wolves with an Alpha Wolf around was near to suicidal thing to do since wolves were Magical Beast with a strong sense of smell. The ordinary Yellow Fur Wolves alone were already able to smell a scent within a distance of 10 meters diameter, while the Yellow Fur Alpha Wolf can smell a scent within a distance of 20 meters diameter.
Hence, Leo could only stay behind the 20 meters distance and also on top of the tree to be really assured that he's safe from the perimeter of this pack of Yellow Fur Wolf.
However, despite being really dangerous, Leo doesn't have any other choice but to follow behind this pack of wolves.
It all started way back after leaving the hole of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's egg.
.....
After finishing covering the hole, Leo quickly retraced back his steps using those bushes that he had left behind with an obvious sign. And, after arriving at the location where he had found himself being lost before, he quickly chooses a random direction around the area opposite to the direction that he had already gone to.
Fortunately, just after a few hours of searching around the place, exactly the moment Leo finished eating his meal, he realized that he had unknowingly attracted a pack of Magical Beast, obviously due to the scent of the food that he had finished eating.

Without any hesitation, Leo quickly left the place before he could get himself surrounded by the pack of unknown Magical Beast. It was really a good thing that he had bought with him a few pieces of the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's meat, so he was able to distract the unknown pack using the meat and hence easily be able to delay them.
Arriving at a safe distance, Leo suddenly turned back. He was quick to notice that the Magical Beast that he had unknowingly attracted was coincidentally what he currently needed the most, a weak Magical Beast!
The weak Magical Beast that Leo had found was chasing after him is actually a Yellow Fur Wolf. A kind of a Magical Beast that isn't the type to live in the inner parts of the Yellow Forest, since these wolves were not yet One Star Magical Beast. Though they still like to hunt around the inner region in order to strengthen themselves.
"I have finally found a weak Magical Beast!"
However, after he went to follow behind the pack of Yellow Fur Wolves, just a few minutes later, Leo quickly came back running away for his life. The pack of wolves actually had an Alpha Wolf with them, and it was currently chasing behind him.
Fortunately, Leo was able to escape again by climbing to the top of a tall yellow tree and jumping from one tree to another to escape away from the Alpha Wolf, which was not a problem for him since the trees were pretty close to each other.
Of course, Leo didn't just run away without thinking. While running, he was, at the same time, also paying attention to the Alpha Wolf's whereabouts. After all, he needed them in order for him to return to the outer part of the Yellow Forest.
That was all that had happened before.
.....
Now, Leo was standing on top of a tree, jumping from one tree to another just to follow the pack of Yellow Fur Wolf. Although it was suicidal, it was the only choice he has since he was still unable to find any other weak Magical Beast around after finding these wolves.
Suddenly, the pack of Yellow Fur Wolves stopped from moving. Leo also didn't dare to continue moving, since he might accidentally cross the perimeter.
After stopping, the Alpha Wolf suddenly sniffs around, seeming as if it had detected some kind of scent. At this moment, Leo didn't dare make a move. The scent that the Alpha Wolf is sniffing around might be his.

As if being able to smell something dangerous, the Alpha Wolf suddenly turned around before leading the pack of Yellow Fur Wolf to run away from their current location. The location the wolves were running to was coincidental to Leo's direction.
"Damn, how did they even get my smell, I didn't even cross their perimeter yet!" Leo swore before also running away from the direction of the pack of Yellow Fur Wolf.
Leo was really curious as to how the Yellow Fur Wolf got his smell. He could confidently say that he was in a very safe distance, so just how did they find out his smell?!!
"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck...." Leo kept on swearing inside his mind while at the same time frantically jumping about from one tree to another tree. The pack of Yellow Fur Wolves was already nearing his location.
The distance was decreasing really fast. From more than 20 meters distance to a really close 10 meters distance. Fortunately, though, Leo was on top of a tree. So, even if the pack of Yellow Fur Wolf arrived in his location, he will still be able to escape, since he was on top while they are all in the ground.
Out of nowhere, the pack of Yellow Fur Wolves quickly turned around to the southeast.
At first, Leo was also curious about why did they suddenly changed direction, since his direction was not that way. But he soon found out the reason why.
A group of 5 Two-Horned Beast appeared behind 20 meters from Leo's current position.
"Ahhh, freaking sh*t!" Leo could only swear as he also runs towards the southeast, where the pack of Yellow Fur Wolf runs towards.
Although, Leo could actually just change direction since the group of Two-Horned Beast intention was obviously to chase the pack of Yellow Fur Wolf. But, by doing so, he will need to find another weak Magical Beast, again. However, he already doesn't know where he was at the moment since he was just following behind the Yellow Fur Wolf without minding his location. So, if he indeed changed his direction just to avoid the group of Two-Horned Beast, he would no longer be sure to himself whether he could still be able to escape this place, alive!
While running away, Leo immediately started absorbing the Wind Mana around the surrounding and quickly summoning Wind Elementals. He was hoping that his Wind Elementals would be able to delay the group of Two-Horned Beast.
"My Dearest Luck, please make this work!" Leo said to himself, hoping that the luck that gave him treasures would help him escape away from this really dangerous situation.
.....
After running for hours, Leo was finally able to lose sight of the Two-Horned Beast. But he unfortunately also lost sight of the pack of Yellow Fur Wolves.
Although Leo had lost the pack of Yellow Fur Wolves, it was still not that bad. In front of him, a group of short yellow trees was laying insight.
The group of short yellow trees, although just being an ordinary tree, standing ordinarily the same way, was actually like a heaven's gift for Leo.
The group of short yellow trees for Leo was like an object shining brightly, although it was currently night, giving him hope and showing him that all his efforts finally produced a beautiful fruit that can save him from being lost. The yellow tree stems, that were covering the sky, were like a roof, giving him shelter from the danger that he just went through, assuring him too, that he will not encounter the same danger again once he takes a single step under their branches. The yellow tree leaves, swaying through the winds, were like waving hands, welcoming him back to the long-lost home that he left. And the yellow ground, just an ordinary yellow ground, was like a red carpet, inviting him to walk on them so that he will finally be able to enter his home.
"What's wrong with my mind!!" Leo quickly shook his head to dismiss such imaginative thoughts. He just entered the outer part of the Yellow Forest. Nothing really important... was it?
The yellow rocks, although just staying still...
Leo quickly left the area. He was really afraid that his thoughts would suddenly run wild to the point that he will start hugging the trees and making a dirt angel on the ground.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
