Ava naively thought she would mentally ready to see monsters like this, now she realised how delusional she was.

The Forest Wyrm was terrifying. It made the most fearsome predators in her previous world look like kittens.

It was three times the size of even the biggest reptiles she remembered back on earth, everything about the beast seemed designed to kill, starting from its razor sharp talons that cut the elves into ribbons, or it’s crocodile-like snout that was filled with sharp teeth, which met no resistance as she heard the elves bodies gave a sickening crunch when it ate them whole.

The Forest Wyrm seemed to treat the life-death battle the elves were facing as sport, it was so at ease at the way it butchered down the elves like flies, the sharp weapons, the arrow fired with excellent precision and technique towards it all meant nothing to the tough scales of the beast, everything just bounced off harmlessly not even leaving a scratch.

It did not feel threatened at all by the elves futile assault, helping itself to the feast that fell upon its lap all while the elves continued to desperately attack it with everything they have.

Almost everyone anyways. The most oddest thing during the battle was Kais Evergreen himself, he just stood on the side with a detached look like everything had nothing to do with him, all whilst he and the most powerful mages of the group alongside him, instead of offering much needed support just seemed to stand there and watch the elves get killed.

Ava even found it strange that she was somehow still here. She thought as soon as Father gave Hoatan the order to run whilst he handed her to him would mean the elves would all split up and escape from the terrifying beast, after all they were in a large group, the Forest Wyrm could only kill so many of them and it was only acting so aggressively because they clearly intruded on its territory.

She began to feel something is going awfully wrong. The way Cense described to her Kais Evergreen shouldn’t be able to do something like this, however the glassy look in the Mages eyes as they seemed to refuse to move, to help the people at the front fight the beast, they just remain still even as it grew to the stage where the Wyrm killed the majority of the group and was getting closer to them.

In fact the odd thing was everyone fighting the beast seemed to be the weakest members of the group, why haven’t the strongest stepped up?

These where their family, their tribe, people they grew up with yet they did not seem to care!

‘Another mind mage… much more powerful, he’s trying to…’ it was when Cense seen to realise something as his voice grew panicked,

‘Ava, he’s removing all the mortals and those with weak potential, your mother!‘

At that moment she locked eyes with the Forest Wyrm.

The cold unfeeling gaze of the beast sent a shiver down her soul.

She did not know what happened next all she saw was a blur and the feeling of warm liquid splash on her face.

It was that moment her Father seemed to break out of whatever hypnosis he was under and let out an earth shattering scream.

Disoriented she did not know what happened, only that her Father seemed to charge the Forest Wyrm fresh of another kill in a fit of fury like she had never seen before in him.

The Forest Wyrm cold eyes seemed to regard her Father impassively, it did not even feel the need to move from his blade coming down at it.

However the next words spoken seemed to make it feel fear for the first time.

“Shows over beast, guess it’s time to introduce myself as the hero…” Kais Evergreen said as a massive wave of Qi built up around him indicating he was about to cast a spell.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

The Wyrm sensing danger for the first time tried to move in response but was unable to respond in time.

“Earth Collaspe” Kais whispered before the world of earth seemed to gather around the Wyrm.

It screamed it agony but it’s tough scales and hide could do little more than slow down it’s agonising death as the earth seemed to collapse around it, pushing into it, squeezing the beast to death until it turned into meat paste.

Her Father had long been sent flying back and laid on the floor like a heap whilst the seemingly invincible Wyrm was squished to death under the suffocating earth.

‘Monarch level spell… that man could have stopped the beast the moment it appeared, no matter how strong the Wyrm is, it’s only in the ninth tier of the first realm, even if it has a minor dragon bloodline it cannot go up against a Mage Monarch…’ Cense said in shock before he noticed she was stood there shivering.

‘What what… how can he let Mum…’ Ava muttered brokenly.

‘Listen Ava get yourself together… you got to pretend to follow their story obediently, the mind mage won’t notice anything amiss this is a wide range spell to rewrite what happens in these peoples mind, you cannot show anything otherwise they’d become aware that their magic is useless against you…’ Cense warnings filled her mind but she still couldn’t get over her shock.

It was then Kais Evergreen took the moment to approach her with a jubilant smile on his face.

“Ahaha, my little star still alive and well, bet it was cool seeing me squeeze that little dragon to death wasn’t it?” Kais said with amusement in his voice.

Ava just nodded dumbly at the man before she looked up into his eyes.

At that moment Kais shivered thinking he saw a coldest in those eyes that reminded him of his leaders but they quickly reverted to the dumb glazed up look like the rest of the elves.

Kais smiled thinking how silly was he to be spooked by some little child.

Rubbing Ava’s smooth hair he murmured, “How lucky the Royal Clan get to enjoy servants like you, a child with your talent only comes in such rare instances… judging by your soul potential to become a Monarch Water Mage, I’m going to get such a big merits bringing you in, now come along now, time to go we got to get to the capital with haste…”

She walked with him for a while before another Elf made his presence known.

‘Mind Mage’ she thought, unlike Kais she felt he was much more powerful, he had a regal air about him, an aura that gave off a sense of superiority.

“Sire, glad you have reached us, I’m surprised the Royal Clan sent a mage of your level to do such a minor, little thing.” Kais Evergreen said the encounter with the Wyrm insignificant in his eyes.

“Well, since you have let the humans break open our farming grounds, ruining thousands of years of preparation we no longer have the means to take half measures in such instances… now where is the prospects…” The cold elf said before his eyes laid on her.

At that moment she could feel the assessing look in his eyes as he appraised her with dispassionate gaze.

He turned to Kais with a single word, “Good.”

Kais eyes lit up at the praise showing he did not get such an answer often.

All she could do was pretend that she was happy, that she did not hate them, it was the first time she felt a real desire to kill another person.

Her kind mother lost her life to these bunch of heartless men who just wanted to make them move a bit quicker to the capital, so they could not waste any resources on the untalented, the mortals.

At that moment her eyes turned an even icier blue than before as a cold, dangerous aura left her.

‘Listen Ava you got to settle down… your starting to manipulate Astral Qi’ Cense warned as she felt as if a splash of cold water was thrown onto her face causing her to reign in her feelings.

Kais did not seem to notice anything amiss as he still seemed high in the feeling of praise from the cold elf.

“Now little one time for you to have a little sleep…” Kais said eerily.

At that moment Ava felt the suggestion of sleep fill her mind. She could choose to ignore it, but she decided she did not want to, she wanted to sleep now.

However she would remember. Kais Evergreen. The cold elf from the Royal Clan.

She was going to get her revenge for this betrayal. Why did the being who brought her here bring her such happiness to tear it all away from her again?

Resentment. She was going to use the gifts the being reincarnated her for to burn them down, to tear apart the Royal Clan and it’s foundations.

She cannot allow this to happen again, all she needed was strength, if she had the strength then wouldn’t none of this happen?

She will store the rage within her deep, though for now all she wanted to do was sleep.

And that was when her consciousness went black and she entered a peaceful slumber.

Cense looked over her worriedly not knowing what monster these elves have created.
