In a small part of a huge forest rich with different kinds of plant life no matter where you look, thirty or so brown cloaked travellers finally arrived at their destination as they collapsed to ground on a small open area of the forest.
“We’re here!”
“2 years of hell, and we actually survived!”
“It’s all thanks to our Chief haha!”
The weary travellers all laughed with great happiness some of them were even crying, they couldn’t help but feel boundless of joy from escaping death many times just to come to his place.
“Ahem, everyone before we Celebrate let’s make camp!” A hoarse voice yelled with great volume while containing his own laughter, even he was filled with joy. Finally they have made it.
“Yes Chief!”
“Aye Aye Chief!”
Everyone yelled with loud voices still showing their excited emotions.
“Wait! I just forgot since it’s been a long time but it’s safe to say since were safe here everyone can take off their Cloaks and enchantment rings.”
….
“Yes Chief!!!”
After a few moments of silence not believing what they heard, the group of travellers was even more excited than ever after hearing the chief speak. Sparing not a second to soon everyone took off their Brown Cloaks and silver enchantment rings throwing them to the ground as if they were the most poisonous thing they have ever touched.
As everyone took off their brown cloaks and enchantment rings white light suddenly glowed in each in everyone’s faces. As the light dimmed down their appearances can finally be seen. It was an amazing sight to see it was almost like a group of demigods suddenly landed here on earth, their appearances were enchanting, both men and women even kids had clear white skin that look too delicate to touch like the first snow falling down at the start of a new winter season, their faces were too bewitching it was like if god himself took upon the task to sculpture their faces, all the women had blonde golden hair that glowed as if it was a spell of light, same with a couple of the men who had blonde hair but most of the men had black hair deep black like the color of the darkest of nights, and finally looking closely everyone had slightly pointy ears almost to length of an elf.
“Sasha I missed seeing your beautiful face!”
“Don’t cry Ella mother is here!”
“Yeni oh I have missed seeing your smile!”
Everyone began to cry with smiles on their faces as they hugged each other, from seeing this
scene and their tears of joy it shows that it’s been a long time they have seen the faces of their love ones, but as they finally got to touch and feel the ones they love all the pain of running they have been through all these years disappeared like a faint bad memory.
Seeing the tears and smiles of his clan the chief a tall sturdy handsome middle age man couldn’t help but smile as a tear dripped down his face.
“Father” A quiet gentle voice can be heard behind the chief
Looking behind him, tears began to drip down from his face as he saw a young small boy no older than 9 years old staring at him with tears in his eyes. The young boy had delicate features that faintly resembles the Chief but even more enchanting, with his deep black hair complementing his handsome looks you can tell as he gets older he will look even more handsome.
“Little Kai, Little Kai you look just like your mother” The Chief quickly hugged his son as if it was the first time they met each other.
“Father!” The little boy Kai hugged his father with all his might. Feeling the lost smell and warmth of his father Kai cried even more, slowly forgetting the last few years of pain he has felt that no young boy should ever feel.
“It’s okay, were safe now” The chief quickly wiped his tears with his free arm while looking around him. Even if this was a happy moment as the Chief he still has to put off an air of toughness for his clan relied on him to be strong no matter what.
“Kai cmon now, be strong” The chief slowly parted from the young boy while stroking his head
*Sniff* “Yes father.”
The chief stood up and moved his fingers quickly in under a few seconds in some sort of incantation on his neck; his neck began to glow lightly of a faith white light. *Ahem* “Everyone I know this is a happy moment and all but before nightfall we need to get make camp!” The chief once again yelled in great volume as his voice echoed like as if lighting strike causing everyone to jumped, and quickly disperse.
“Yes Chief!!!”
“Kai, go to Aunt Jeni tell her to gather the kids so she can give out small tasks for you guys to do”
“Yes Father” With a respectful tone, Kai cupped his hands as a sign of respect and salute and quickly followed his Father’s others.
“Chief!” About fourteen adults and a few youths quickly arrived in front of the Chief after organizing their kids and equipment. They formed a circle around the Chief as the center as they gave their respects like Kai did a few moments ago cupping their hands.
Looking at his clansmen faces the chief smiled and nodded giving out orders. “Drew, Bera, and Yello do a full scan around of this area while adding defense enchantments.”
“Yes Chief” Two handsome middle age men and one beautiful woman nodded, quickly cupping their hands in respect. They then began to do some sort of hand incantations around their legs. As their legs began to glow with a faint white light, they began walking into the forest then suddenly disappeared like a gust of wind.
“Ban and Taru set up camp around this area, you can use the forest’s trees but try not cutting any if you can, there are plenty of dead logs lying around and we don’t want to anger the Forest Lord just as we got here.” The chief slowly shuddered and so did everyone else they knew from past experiences that if you anger a Forest Lord you’ll end up dead and smashed like a small rock in a matter of seconds.
“Yes chief Of course!” Quickly nodding, the two handsome man one black haired one and one blonde one glanced at each other mentally agreeing that they will not do anything stupid to anger the Forest Lord.
“Okay next is-”
“Just a second Chief” The blonde man, Taru interrupted and looked at the Chief in a mischievous way.
Seeing the blonde man Taru’s mischievous look the Chief couldn’t help but sigh “What is it Taru?”
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
“Chief you didn’t ask for a preference for the camp, does that mean we can choose the design?” Taru smiled like child getting ready to eat his favorite dessert.
The Chief and everyone else except Ban who also had the same smile as Taru all shook their head lightly giving out a sigh and small laugh. “Yes Taru, as long as it’s stable and protects us from the coldest of the nights the design is your own choosing” The Chief is a tough cold man but he also enjoys times like this when he can freely spoil his clan mates.
“Yes Chief!” Both Taru and Ban yelled loudly while giving each other a fist pound. After cupping their hands, they also did the same weird hand incantations on their legs as the last group did and quickly disappeared like a gust of wind as they entered the forest.
“Cassy, you’re in charge of food supplies, gather three people and move out”
A blonde hair woman with a cold aura like a fine blade with the same bewitching looks as the rest of her clans mate nodded and quietly replied. “Yes Chief”
“Eko, Tila organize the equipment, once you’re done help Ban, and Taru with the camp”
“Yes Chief!”
“The rest of you will support me to do an area detection spell enchantment rank 8” The chief took a deep breath and sat down with legs crossed in meditation while forming a hand spell seal.
“Yes Chief!” The rest of the group followed the same actions as the Chief as they sat down next to the Chief forming a line.
As ten minutes past by the Chief began to give out a faint yellow light, as each second pass by it seems to grow even brighter. Same with the rest of the group next to the Chief they also began to glow in a faint yellow light. Glowing even brighter the light began combine at the center where the Chief was and began glowing more intensely bright just like a small sun.
The bright yellow light was so bright the kids from across the area couldn’t help but stare in awe.
“Wow!” A small boy holding onto a blue robe of an older blonde woman was so excited that he didn’t notice his little mouth was drooling.
“Aunt Jeni what ranking spell is that!” The kids around Jeni asked with much excitement as they watched the light show.
“Ha ha I believe that’s a rank 8 spell!” Jeni smiled as she waved her hands, a blue faint translucent barrier appeared around the kids blocking off the intense light.
“Wow a rank 8 spell!” All the kids was very surprised, to do a rank 8 spell required a huge amount of spiritual energy.
“I wish I can do that one day” Seeing his elders show such powerful magic Kai can’t help admire such powerful performance.
As the light began to grow even more intense, it began to flicker wildly at the center. Intensely flickering non-stop for a few minutes the light suddenly disappeared, than with a loud boom! Like as if heavens were striking earth an intense yellow light flew up in the air transforming into a form of a phoenix!
“Rank 8 Phoenix Pulse Detection!”
The yellow phoenix of light flew up in the air at great height, giving out a loud phoenix cry that echoed through the forest, the phoenix then exploded into tiny specks of light. As it exploded a huge pulse of energy rippled through half the area of the forests, shaking the foundation of the area producing a slight tremor.
“Wah!” The kids yelled as they all fell down from the small earthquake; only a few older kids barely stood up to withstood the tremor.
“Kids hold on, it’ll just be a minute” Aunt Jeni said as she supported the smaller kids to prevent them from getting injured.
After the energy rippled ended tiny specks of light were left that were floating in the air pulsing with each second with a slight “humm” sound.
Seeing the tiny specks of light pulsing the Chief and group signed with relief, casting a rank 8 detection magic this large took huge effort and the success rate depended on how strong of spiritual energy they can muster.
Standing up the Chief raised his left arm and nodded with self-satisfaction. One of the tiny specks of light floating high up in the air transformed into a tiny small miniaturized bird of yellow light and shot down straight into the Chief’s arm leaving a yellow bird sigil.
“Everyone good work, you can all help with the rest of the tasks of your choice.” The chief said while sitting back down legs crossed with eyes closed meditating to recover his spiritual energy.
“Yes Chief” The group cupped their hands and disappeared after doing leg enchantments.
“Wow the chief sure is powerful, even though we were supporting him we barely used 20% of our spiritual energy to materialized the phoenix” One of the group going into the forest couldn’t help but admire his Chief by that powerful performance.
“Yes, to do an area detection this large at least requires medium light proficiency to support our low light proficiency added with an amount of Grand Magi Spiritual Energy” One of the older of the group gave out his own wisdom, helping the younger youths understand more of the knowledge of a Magi.
“Medium Light Proficiency, and Grand Magi Spiritual Energy!” The group couldn’t help but yell in shocked the Chief only began training as a magi for 20 years without any manuals or teachers, to reach this stage with medium light proficiency requires an huge amount training to deepen ones thought in light but the chief did it all while running and protecting them for nearly 20 years.
“Haha why are you all in shock did you forget what blood runs in his veins and ours?” The older one who replied earlier smiled and nodded with satisfaction, having their Chief as a goal would motivate them to be stronger.
There was silence like quietness before a life and death battle then each person in the group had a faint red light shine in their eyes as killing intent was suddenly emitted in the air. “We will never forget.” The killing intent grew stronger, causing someone weak seeing this scene suddenly faint or even worst mentally scarred.
Nodding the older man smiled as he to emitted killing intent while his pupils turned into a deep red color like blood. Looking closely at his smile his teeth suddenly had two sharp fangs sticking out, even when his mouth was closed the fangs can still be seen; it greatly resembled of an ogre fangs.
