Staring up in the skies all that could be seen were blood red clouds. With it, it brought forth a haunting wrying feel.

GROWWWWLLLLL!!!!!

A brown demon beast bear dared to mark its territory while facing off against a pack of 12 black demon beast wolves, with tinges of grey within their coats.

They howled while tactically spreading out on all flanks as their fangs showed, waiting to devour on its flesh. As they all readied to pounce there was a momentary pause.

Not just the wolves held their breath but the demon beast Bear also. There was a scent that lingered in the air. What is it?

So intoxicating they wished their fangs could multiply by the hundreds, just so it could be shredded to bits. Acting before any other of those wretched beasts could feast on it.

This smell has not known the forest for so long. Its lures and tease enticingly filling the nostrils and tongues with such delight. They must have it...but what is it.....?

Suddenly it clicked within their puny brains....cultivators.

Best of all they smelt like newborn calves, the delicacies they dared not previously have thought of gorging themselves on. What a pity it was only two.

In unison, they thought...feast.

ARH-WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

The wolves charged deeper within the land that saw trees towering in the skies. Within the trees, they saw demon beast white nose monkeys smelling the intoxication within the air.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Unknowing of what their presence had initiated yet still vigilant, two teens could be seen.

A beauty that had her hair tied neatly behind her back with a white ribbon and a youth that black dreads had slightly brown tips.

" Be on alert at all times. If you feel something is wrong chances are it is. Apart from me, your instinct will be your best friend. Trust it..."

The youth with dreads scanned the area filled with wild grass soaked by droplets of dew, while kindly advising the girl to his side.

" Yes I understand"

The young beauty had a sense of alert as she too surveyed her surrounding. The air seemed so much purer yet could have a suffocating feel at times.

These two were, of course, May and Taf who had been transported within Brave Man's Graveyard.

" We will need to find a safe area in which we can camp. First, we will span a slight distance putting up a perimeter. This will be our first line of defence as well as our alarm system"

" As we discussed previously at no point should we both be asleep at the same time, and while we are here there is no such thing as safe"

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Taf continued to prep May as he utilized all of his previous training and personal experience.

" I understand my role. I will always be the one to take the higher ground being on the lookout. Utilizing my Elemental Art ( Eye of an eagle) every 30 minutes"

A very alert May recalled her duty. She then dashes to a tree that trunks girth seemed inconceivable.

Like a flash, she jumped from limb to limb nimbly climbing atop the massive tree. As she reached closer to the top, the beast qi within the air became far more stifling.

After what seemed like a quarter of an hour, she finally arrived atop the massive tree. If one were to look from the base of the tree seeking to see the top, she would seem like nothing more than an ant on a leaf.

Looking down below she saw grassland spanning distances the eyes would lose its lustre before even thinking to see its end.

☆ Elemental Art (Wind) Eye of the Eagle☆

She called out internally which brought a sudden calm to her once straining eyes. Her vision became magnified as even a brown snake could be seen within some fallen brown leaves on the ground.

" Do you see anything"

A voice went off in her ear as she sought to find clues of any impending danger.

A finger pressed the device within her ear that was a sound transmission.

" Not yet, apart from a small brown snake eating a rodent, there is nothing that has caught my notice"

She then replied to Taf who sought some aerial confirmation that there was nothing amiss at the moment.

" Ok good job so far. Just continue to be on the alert, big flower"

Taf was busy digging trenches and setting spikes while carefully coating them with pungent yellow liquid.

He meticulously hid traps under the humongous fallen leaves from the giant tree.

How could he possibly not utilize some of his mortal training in this trial? To be honest this trial was tailor-made for his previous skill sets.

He was one that thought there was no such thing as being over prepared, so he tried to cover all of his bases.

" Are you all set below, Taf"

A voice was heard with a question that was May.

" Yes I nearly am finished with my task"

Taf replied after sprinkling some powder like substance while making sure every speck was on a dry surface.

As May tried to seek some more information on Taf's activities below her eyes caught notice of hurried steps.

As she aimed for a better view there She saw a pack of 12 wolves with tinges of grey on their coats.

ARH-WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

They howled to the skies as their once black pupils became scarlet red seduced by that intoxicating aroma.

Today will definitely be a feast for the ages for this pack.

Suddenly Taf heard an anxious voice in his ear.

" 12 strong wolf pack coming from the east. Approximately 20 minutes till melee"

May quickly transmitted as she slowly descended from atop the tree.

" Ok follow our plans and we should be fine. You'll do great"

Taf then offered some calming words to the slightly anxious May. This was After all her first battle of any kind. It would be unrealistic to think she would be perfectly calm.

A smile surfaced on May's face as she heard the calming voice that simply soothed her restless soul. She then took seven minutes descending the tree arriving at its halfway mark.

Then taking refuge on a limb that in all fairness should never be deemed as such. This was a damn tree onto itself.

Suddenly a bronze bow and arrow was seen within her small hands.

" I'm all set and waiting"

She then confirmed to Taf her current status.

" Ok wait for my signal."

" Hehehe.., are you ready for your initiation, my pupil"

Taf voice sounded in her ear as his usual playful personality came forth.

" Like a butcher hearing the squeaking of a pig, master"

A playful retort was heard by May who nocked her bow.

ARH-WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Small herbs became nothing but mush as paws that weighed far above the average smashed down.

A pack of wolves charges as with each stride they seem to become even more Madden.

These sumptuous prey must be slaughtered. Their bones must be gnawed until they are whiter than white itself. So white that demon vultures would not dare try to smash them in order to feast on their marrow. Their spotless beauty will act as its own repellent.

Instead, those white bones would be souvenirs of the day this young set of Demon Beast wolf pack feasted.

Finally, the lure has ended, so now let the massacre begin. Tonight their howls at the blood red moon will be till dawn.

Thanking the wolf Gods for this feast bestowed

ARH-WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
