nThe sage joined his hands together and a wave of wind wrapped their body teleporting all three of them in front of Kratez.

nJohn's eyes narrowed when his mouth gapped mouth stared at the destruction his land was in, when he used to reign Kratez creatures were living peacefully, nature growing and blooming now it was all destroyed. The land was dried for the lack of growing nature and the soil was grey, all the trees had been destroyed and just a few branches filled the soil.

nThey all took a step forward, the pebbles shattered under their feet and crows croaked flying in the sky. Roselyn blinked few times when she began to vision through the fog the bodies of all the victims that had been taken, dark blood over the ground that now was so dried and chaotic. Head splits, body splits, open wounds, and blood coming out from different directions. She could even smell the metallic blood scent.

nRoselyn lost the balance and almost fell, luckily John grabbed her in time and held her,

"I told you you shouldn't have come.

" He said in a usual scolding tone of voice.

n

"Are you alright?

" the sage asked, keeping her from her shoulders and helping her to walk.

nRoselyn nodded when finally her visions faded away, and a long breath she took.

n

"John!

" John's brother groaned before turning around and punching strongly a creature that appeared as soon as it was hit, when knocked down he revealed his teeth and cut open his neck killing the creature.

nJohn swallowed and glanced at him,

"thank you,

" he said before setting his gaze back to Roselyn once again.

nJohn's brother shook his fist as it was slightly hurting for the strong punch he gave.

n

"Someone is coming!

" Roselyn said when her ears began to whistle and a black fog only visible by her reached her. Roselyn squeezed her eyes before that thing could hit her.

nJohn perceived the creatures arrive by the way the air moved and anticipated its attack. He gripped around his neck and the creature became visible then he broke his neck, cracking like a weak stick it broke. And the creature fell to the ground. John's brother rushed and kicked the creature's already almost unconscious body more and more times causing fractures all over his back.

nHe surely had anger issues, Roselyn thought to herself before clearing her voice.

n

"Why are they all invisible?

" The lady asked trying to keep her gaze up from the ground.

n

"When creatures became more powerful they become always faster, they aren't invisible they are just too fast to be seen,

" John explained gazing around monitoring if anyone would appear.

n

"Why aren't you?

" Roselyn asked, trying to keep her mind away from the negative feelings she was perceiving the more she infiltrated in that dried land.

n

"One day I will explain to you, Roselyn, now you need to be careful. If anything happens to you I would die.

" John said and when his last words were enunciated he widened his eyes, probably not fully realizing what his unconscious just admitted.

n

"Alright…

" Roselyn said trying to suffocate the huge smile that tried to curve her lips.

n

"Oh no…

" the sage murmured. They saw a pack of Lycans peeking at them while they were eating from a huge cluster of branches and dead bodies where they were sucking blood from and when they saw them their eyes glimpsed identifying a new source of food.

nOne of them, with a bigger body shape, smiled revealing his long sharp fangs, and looking at John he stated,

"the fallen King of Kratez is back.

"

nThe two brothers groaned simultaneously, glancing at the five lycans with frowned eyebrows.

n

"I am ready to take it back and reestablish order,

" John revealed his fangs.

n

"We don't want you to reestablish order.

" Another lycan commented, and the whole pack slowly crawled toward the brothers like a pack surrounding their prey.

nJohn departed from his brother, standing on two opposite sides.

n

"That's too bad because it will happen whether you like it or not.

" John groaned as soon as he finished his sentence the leader of the pack threw himself against John followed by two other Lycans while the remaining two attacked his brother.

nJohn flipped forward dodging the first attack and throwing himself with extreme speediness and strength against the second Lycan, his long flags sank into the creature's neck before throwing him against the other two Lycans

nJohn and his brother were surrounded by 5 lycans. The remaining lycans looked at the duo ferociously rearing to tear them apart.

n

"You're still strong.

" The lycan leader shouted ludicrously managing to get up from the soil whining.

n

"You're wrong, I am even stronger. And you will regret not having bowed to me soon.

" John spat. The lycans' leader snorted coldly and he signaled to all other lycans to charge. They have teamed up again even if John's attack harmed two of them they still were ready to reattach.

n

"Careful,

" John shouted, he quickly knew to be on guard.

nThey both groaned and long fangs and claws extended from their body. The lycans attacked his brother first. But he had an advantage, his speediness.

nHe speeded in the opposite direction dodging their attack easily. He slammed the ground with his foot and the sharp stones flew into their face. The lycan put up a defense, but when they looked, John and his brother were already attacking them. The claws of John sank into one's of the creature's bodies while his other went to rip off the torso of another one. Leaving them on the ground he turned around to glance at the remaining one. John widened his arms, blood coming out from his claws,

"come.

" He groaned, but the remaining crated gazed at John's brother who quickly knocked down and killed the remaining of his pack leaving him alone.

n

"I am- I am sorry.

" The Lycan said, bowing down to John.

nThey never stood a chance against John, and when he paired up with his brother he oddly became even stronger and unbeatable.

n

"You alright?

" John's brother asked, before seeing John nodding clearing the blood over his hands.
