《Elemental Artists》CH.11 The Raid

"AWOOOOOOO" At first it was just one howl, then a mulititude of howls came following after. Like a choir of death that came in the night, jolting Aishe out of his slumber. Still in pain, he forces his body outside to see what maybe the massacre of his house.
Peering outside his window, just darkness under the brush of the woods on the outskirts of his house is seen. As soon as the wails of the howls stopped, one pair of red eyes gleamed towards the house. Followed by more and more ominous glares after, frightening poor Aishe.
"AISHE!" Aishe's mom burst through his bedroom door along with his father, who came back shortly after Aishe fell asleep. Aishe turns to the both of them. Tears welling up in his eyes as regret for going into the woods swirls inside his mind. His mom hugs him warmly in her embrace.
"It's going to be alright, baby. Hun, carry him please."
"Okay, dear." Aishe separates from his mother and soon lifted up by his burly dad. His mother exits the door and meets Aishe and his father outside the backdoor of the house.
The howling beasts make their move encrouching on the sheep pen. The slaughter of the cattle radiates in the background as they make their getaway under the cover of night. One wolf caught scent of the family and bolted towards their direction. Aishe's father noticing too late gets hit in the side. He instinctly curls up his arms around Aishe. Preventing him from hitting the ground.
"HUN!"
Aishe's mother launched fireballs sporadically since their cover was blown in an attempt to ward off the wolf, while running towards them. The fireballs caught the surrounding trees on fire lighting up the darkness. This in turn caused the wolves slaughtering the sheep to notice where they were.

"Dear, take Aishe. NOW!" Noticing his intentions, she kisses him lovingly, before taking Aishe by the hand. They both retreat into the woods. The wolf locks his eyes on the man while he looked at his family in the distance. Slamming both his fists together and returning the wolf's gaze, the earth soon forming around his hands like gauntlets. He readies himself, the wolf launched itself towards the man.
At that moment, a slice of air was heard behind the woods of the sheep. Unbeknowest of the family, the wolves that noticed the family turned towards the sound. They all hurled themselves toward the newcomer.
The wolves outnumber him 30 to 1. He looks around at the encrouching pack and slams his sword into the first wolf from below the jaw up. Tossing the wolf towards the second one leaping at him. A wolf attacks his back launching him into another wolf waiting for him. His sword slowly increased in redness going from dim to vibrant as he flew. Gripping it tightly, he slashes down severing the wolf easily like butter. The wolves seeing this surround him again in fear.
Aishe's father
Punching his right fist forward, the earth gauntlet goes flying forward knocking the wolf back. Yelping in pain, the wolf retreats back. Glaring at the man, the wolf's eyes slowly go down into the ground, disappearing.
"Shit!" The man bolts towards Aishe and his wife. Failing to notice the shadow left behind by the wolf only moved closer to him.
Aishe
Running into the woods, Aishe and his mother steadily make their way. His mother shedding tears as she holds Aishe's hand.

The Eternal Seeker Saga
In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.

8 336Sir Grace Wachinga, Order of the Hatchet
Grace Howard, a tough street girl in Virginia could become a knight -- if she survives her education. She learns to fight and be a refined lady. She finds good friends, vicious enemies, and finally love and family. The Knight Riding School produces young knights capable of protecting victims the FBI and other agencies cannot. Police policies do not bind them. Carrying swords, knives, and other medieval weapons, they wear bulletproof vests, and use their horses and wolves as fighting and survival partners. I post a chapter about every two weeks, not for the writing part but for editing but because the editing process is so demanding. I give great thanks to those who have helped me learn the art and craft of writing a story, so easily told but written in blood.
