I was running in a fenced in back yard chasing after a butterfly that caught my attention. Just when I was about to catch it, I tripped and scraped my knee against the ground. I cried and dark clouds formed over my head as multiple lightning strikes started raining around me. My mother came running out of the house. “Niko, Niko calm down sweetie, it’s ok, it’s just a little scratch.” She said soothingly as she wrote a black flamed symbol on my knee completely healing the scratch. “See all better.” My father then came running out. “Sophie Niko’s little display of power got us discovered we have to go I sense two class A’s approaching” “Sophie, and Lienhart, I’d say it’s a pleasure, but well, you know.” Said an Angelic like muscular man with long orange hair. He wore what appeared to be a renaissance aged composer’s uniform. “Oh great it’s Lucian the most holy angel with the largest tree of life branch shoved right up his ass.” My mother said as she turned to face Lucian while drawing a flame ruin behind her back. Once the rune was completed a dome shimmered around me reflecting the light before disappearing from view.

“I won’t entertain a being who is beneath me, just hand over the child so I can leave this retched place. You know the law Lienhart” “Lienhart, get the 2nd A class ass hat, who thinks we don’t notice him, while I distract the jack ass in the sky.” My mother whispered to my father as she glared at Lucian. Just then a thin small demon, who was bald, and had black leather skin stepped from the shadow as if he was appearing out of nowhere, scraping his obsidian claws against the shield my mother conjured around me, as he said. “Look Lienhart just hand over the child. I have better things I’d rather be doing.” “Grungar why not leave us be and go do those better things.” my father replied. “Well, you see if I don’t take care of your son, then they won’t leave me alone, and you know how I like my peace. I don’t want to waste my time resorting to violence so please don’t make it difficult for me.” Grungar dryly said as if he was bored of the whole thing.

My father got into a fighting stance “Well then come get him!” Grungar then sighed as he said “I knew you wouldn’t make this easy for me so lets just get this over with shall we.” Grungar then stepped into a shadow disappearing from view. Meanwhile my mother responded to Lucian. “Listen Lucian I know you may be in to that sort of thing, but my son is off limits. My family has a no pedi policy when it comes to Niko” “How dare a lowly whore speak to me in such a manner!” Lucian then began to sing. Yes, he sang, what the fuck I thought to myself. “May blades of my voice, smite this heifer who made her choice. Ring oh heavens and make your judgement and dish out this vile woman’s punishment.” As he sang, I could see ripples in the air that shredded everything they touched. Then it hit my mother who bore a look of agonizing pain as a crater formed underneath her. “Don’t hurt my mommy.” I proclaimed as I fruitlessly tried to break free of this forcefield using multiple lightning strikes.

Then my mother spoke “God Damn, I can’t tell what was more painful, hearing that shit that you called music or smelling that breath that came along with it. Well, let me return the favor.” she said as she mockingly rubbed her ears. She then wrote a few runes in the sky causing what looked like white bags, wait, no not bags, but... diapers raining down on Lucian. “Did you just hit me with baby excrement?” Oh God! he exclaimed as he started dry heaving. “I got baby fecal matter all over me, this is appalling, I must clean myself. Unclean! Unclean! Oh, heavens I’m Unclean. Purifying Light! Purifying Light...” He continued as he started casting many spells that made him glow with a brilliant light which removed my shit from all over his body. The first Purifying Light removed everything, but I guess he couldn’t get himself clean enough. My mother then took the opportunity and ran around the yard drawing many symbols all over the place.

Meanwhile my father was still facing off with Grungar. Grungar leapt from a shadow, using his claws as a knife, in an attempt to pierce my father's gut. My father just twisted his body to the side, grabbed Grungar’s arm lifting him up in the air, only to back hand him across the yard and through the metal fence. My mother then walked up to my father saying, “It’s done we should go now!” Just as they approached me two doll like figures made of earth came up from the ground and transformed into the spitting image of my mother and father. Those figures then started fighting with both enemies as me and my family fled.

The memory faded and I found myself back in the frozen world I had just left.

With the flames still encompassing my body I felt the surge of power speed and perception come upon me. The wolves were moving again but now seemed sluggish to my new agility and the new perception it granted me. I wrote the runic symbol that meant flame on my hands as they began to burn like torches of black flames. As they were still airborne, I went under the first striking a phantom palm to its underside, while twisting towards the other wolf hitting it on its side, which was now completely open. Both wolves lost their cores at once, except this time instead of purifying the cores it disintegrated them along with the wolves' bodies. I deactivated Battle mode and approached the once frightened little girl.
