Chapter 81 – Remembering The Past

“What are you waiting for? Quick, get to that tree!”

Ezkael roared at the frozen Calron.

“Huh? Oh, right!”

Broken free from his daze, Calron flapped his wings and flew towards the tall tree. He did not know why, but the beast’s howl he heard just now seemed to remind him of his past. More specifically, his mother.

Putting aside the strange emotions he was currently feeling, Calron turned his focus to the sounds approaching from his left.

He did not have to wait for long, as within a few minutes, an enormous beast collided against a rock below the tree Calron was currently perching on. The beast coughed out a mouthful of blood, as it struggled to rise back on its feet.

It was a giant black wolf with piercing purple irises.

Numerous cuts and wounds were covered across its entire body, with several of them bleeding profusely. Drops of blood unceasingly dripped from the wide gash on the side of its belly.

The giant wolf stood at over five feet tall, making it one of the largest wolves that Calron had seen. Besides its purple eyes, the wolf’s entire body and fur was completely pitch-black.

Wisps of dark smoke coalesced around its jaws as it savagely snarled at its incoming enemy.

*HISSS*

Right at that moment, a colossal green anaconda slithered towards the wounded dark wolf.

The large snake was over twenty feet long, and as thick as the trunk of a medium-sized tree. Several wounds and bruises were spread across the reptilian’s skin, but they were much fewer in quantity when compared to that of the wolf. The only serious looking wound on the green anaconda was the long gash across its right eye.

“Hand it over.”

The anaconda hissed sinisterly, as it prowled towards the giant wolf.

“If I had planned to do that earlier, then we would not be in this situation.”

The tenacious voice of a woman sounded out from the wolf’s mouth.

“We both know how this will end. You were no match for me even when you were at your full strength, so just hand it over and I can spare your life.”

The anaconda rasped out in a hoarse voice, as its massive body coiled around itself.

“Spare my life? Haha, you know very well that I will not survive with these wounds… the only thing left is for me to kill you before I die.”

The giant dark wolf growled within its throat, as dark fumes exuded from her body.

“Why do you want her so badly?”

The female wolf asked, while trying to hide the pain from her voice as blood continued to drip from her various wounds.

“If you do not know that by now, then you don’t know much about your own tribe.”

The snake hissed in an amused tone, as it began slowly slithering towards the giant wolf.

“Avi…sweetie, can you hear me?”

The giant female wolf whispered, as she lightly tilted her head to the side.

A sad whimper sounded out from the giant wolf’s back, as a small bundle of fur separated itself from its mother.

The little wolf pup was only half a foot tall, and compared to the size of its mother, the pup appeared like a pebble placed on top of a small mountain. The tiny beast’s fur was similar in color to the female wolf’s, but the pup had streaks of purple fur mixed in with its pitch-black counterpart.

Sharing its mother’s shade of purple irises, the little wolf heartbrokenly cried out when it realized what its mother wanted it do.

“I won’t be able to distract it for long, so you need to make your escape as soon as I engage it. Avi, mommy is sorry to do this… please forgive me for not being able to protect you…”

The giant wolf whispered sorrowfully, as tears streamed down its face.

“Wuwu…”

The little wolf pup wailed, as it tightly clutched onto its mother’s fur with its tiny paws.
