《The Strongest Soul》Chapter 5: Guaranteed Death
Advertisement
The growls and snarls of beasts kept resounding behind Kain as he dashed with all he had forward. Even though he was going at his fastest possible speed the low roars seemed to be getting closer and closer. It was as if death was counting down for him.
Kain had a bit of endurance since he lived on this planet and had to survive day to day. Therefore he wasn’t immediately caught by whatever beast was chasing him at the moment. However, even though he had some endurance, that didn’t mean he had the speed to get away. About half a kilometer into the run, Kain could hear the heavy sound of paws slamming into the hard ground and dead leaves that were littered about. Although he didn’t want to, his body instinctively turned his head slightly behind him to look at what was chasing him.
As soon as he caught sight of what was behind him, Kain’s pupils severely constricted and he quickly turned his head back and shot forward with even greater speed that came out of nowhere. His heart was fiercely palpitating with fear and his chest became drenched with cold sweat.
He saw a large two headed black wolf about five hundred meters behind him. It was so large that Kain could make it out even though it was so far behind him. It had vicious saber teeth and claws that sunk into the ground and ripped the earth apart. Everywhere it passed by trees would surely fall to the ground. The forest couldn’t possibly resist against a beast of this size and stature.
As soon as this beast saw Kain turn to look at it, its crimson eyes focused heavily on his body and it let out a ear piercing roar that caused the ground to tremble. The roar caused Kain to cough up a mouthful of blood. His face went pale and his heart clenched tightly.

The sight of the beast alone didn’t make Kain feel like this but when he looked into those crimson eyes he saw multiple terrible visions. In one vision he saw the two headed wolf rip him apart, one head having the upper half of him and the other head having the lower half. In another vision he saw the wolf piercing through his body with its claws and while it slowly gnawed on him until he died from blood loss and pain. Kain saw many visions but they all ended in the same way... death.
The result of seeing countless visions of his own self dying in multiple horrible ways made Kain feel hopeless, as if running away would get him nowhere. Fear gripped his heart and he couldn’t help but slow down his pace. In his mind he was thinking he had some hope of running away, but his body didn’t think he had even a slim chance.
Soon, Kain stopped running. In fact he stopped moving completely. He turned around and watched as the large two headed wolf slowed its pace down and trotted along toward him. It was as if it knew that it had Kain hooked and therefore didn’t need to expend too much energy.
Kain felt as if his life was now over, as if all of the work and pain that he went through was for nothing. He wouldn’t be able to live after this. He wouldn’t be able to figure out what that soul thingy was talking about. And he wouldn’t be able to see his family.
Wait! At this thought Kain’s eyes became cold. His only wish was to see his family. He had worked hard just to do that and now he was going to give up? Just like that? No.
The large two headed wolf soon was upon Kain. Kain looked coldly at the wolf and its crimson eyes. As he looked in the eyes he would constantly see new visions of him dying horrible deaths at the hands of this beast. He stood there watching the visions as he was… swallowed up by the beast.

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella
