Chapter 16: Consequences

The yell from the two woke up everyone else in the house except Sobaka. Volk and Lykos ran over to Okami, Volk pushed him into a wall.

Volk: WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!

Okami tried pushing him back but couldn't.

Lykos: We could've heard her out at least!

Okami: What's the point?! Inu died because of her, and I'm not gonna just pretend like that didn't happen!

Lykos: WE COULD'VE HAD AN AGREEMENT!

The group went over to the three.

Kitsune: What's wrong?

Volk and Lykos pointed over at Okami.

Kitsune: I know he's missing a few screws. WHAT'S WRONG?

Volk: Thor is coming back.

Lykos: Thanks to Okami for talking too much.

Okami: Were you two really gonna hear her out after everything?!

Volk and Lykos: YES YOU FUCKING MORON!

Lykos: We can avoid dying.

Volk: We could've walked out of this.

Alepou: OKAY! What exactly happened? You're not explaining anything!

Lykos explained what had happened in the dark room the first time and what happened now.

Fidi: Hel wants you all dead?

Volk: That's basically it.

Lykos: But thanks to Okami, we don't have a say in what happens next.

Kitsune hit Okami in the back of the head.

Okami: Ow, don't tell me you're on their side.

Kitsune: You could've at least waited and then backstabbed her when you were near.

Okami: Oh shit...you're right...FUCK!

Lykos: This motherfucker...

Volk: And now, she's sending Thor back to take us down.

Fidi: Well...guess there's no time for rest, Okami, Volk, Lykos, get out there. We are going to train you to use your Telums better.

Lykos: Ugh...but I wanna sleep.

Fidi: No can do if you wanna survive.

Lykos: Fine.

The 4 of them went outside and pulled their Telums out.

Kitsune: I hope everything goes well.

Alepou: Maybe we should train our powers as well.

Skylos: Wait, I never tried out the power that the orb gave me.

Sobaka: Well either it's the clones or it's the fake reality thing he trapped us in. Try and mimic whatever Mirazh did when he used them.

Skylos stomped the ground and nothing happened.

Sobaka: I guess you have the clone power...unless I'm in that fake reality.

Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

Skylos: Nope, nothing happened.

Skylos pointed a finger at Alepou and two clones appeared around her.

Skylos: Yep, the clones it is.

The clones each put a hand on Alepou's head.

Alepou: Uhh...

Skylos: They're easy to control.

The clones started carrying Alepou.

Alepou: Sky, what are you doing?

Skylos: Revenge for when you threw me into the lake back then.

The clones carried her outside and threw her onto the snow.

Lykos: Ale?

Alepou gave Lykos a thumbs up with her face still buried in snow. Lykos blocked an incoming hit from Fidi.

Fidi: Don't get distracted Ly.

Lykos: Right, my bad...

Lykos and Fidi continued fighting while Volk and Okami did the same. A few minutes passed and Fidi told them to stop.

Fidi: Okay now, some....most Telum users have the capability to control their Telum while it's mid-air, for example...

Fidi threw his spear away from the house and called it back to him immediately. He did this repeatedly getting faster with each throw.

Fidi: See? Some users have more control than others. Knowing that Lykos is a demi-god, he should have more control over his than you two.

Lykos: Okay but, how exactly do I do that?

Fidi: Well, have you ever called your Telum back to you?

Lykos: Yeah, I fought a few enemies having to do that recently.

Fidi: Well it's kinda like that, you just have to control where it goes instead of just calling it back.

Lykos: I'll try.

Lykos threw the axe up and tried controlling the axe, it started going around him vertically, but it hit the ground.

Fidi: Oh right, that's another thing, your Telums aren't just weapons. Your Telums can give you strength and abilities, for another example...

He planted his spear on the ground and jumped up on top of it and stayed on with perfect balance.

Fidi: Now if I stop using its power...

Fidi started losing his balance quickly, he unsummoned his Telum and landed on the ground.

Volk: And how do you do that?

Fidi: Think of your Telum as another part of you, after that just concentrate on your power as one with your Telum. Once you get used to it then it won't take as long to work for you.

Volk, Okami, and Lykos grabbed their Telums close to them. Volk felt stronger than ever, he tried to stomp the ground to see what would happen and created a shockwave. Okami felt faster than ever, he started swinging his scythe with incredible speed. Lykos felt more powerful than before, he jumped up by 5 meters vertically.

Lykos, Okami, and Volk: Woah...

Fidi: Now you should be able to do a lot more.

Lykos jumped up 5 meters again and tried to control his Telum again, it spun around him vertically completely.

Fidi: There you go.

Okami threw his Telum forward and tried controlling it, it spun around him horizontally, and he caught it mid-air.

Fidi: That's excellent!

In Volk's hand, a light appeared. A few seconds later, a sledgehammer appeared in it, along with his shield.

Fidi: Did you have that before?

Volk: No but...she did.

"I lent it to you, I have no use for it anymore." said a voice in Volk's head. He looked back all of a sudden with a concerned look on his face.

Volk: Lisa?!

Lykos: Volk?

He dropped the shield but grabbed the sledgehammer tight and ran inside. He ran over to Sobaka and showed him the sledgehammer and told him "I heard her voice, she's not gone!"

Sobaka: V, calm down.

Volk: How can I?! She's still out there somewhere!

"I've been beside you since back then, now that you resonated with your Telum, you can finally hear me." said the voice in his head.

Volk looked back again.

Volk: Did you hear it?

Sobaka: What are you talking about?

"He can't hear me, I'm only by your side." said the voice.

Volk walked outside and grabbed his shield once again.

Volk: Lisa, I'm sorry. I wasn't fast enough.

"It's alright V, you did your best, and I'm glad you survived. I told you that you had a better future." said Lisa in Volk's head.

Volk: ...I don't have a clue on how you're still here but... for the time being I'm glad you are...

"I don't understand it either...but hey, now we have even more time." said Lisa in his head. Volk put his hand over his heart and smiled. He went back to train with the others.
