Chapter 72 - First Magical Creature (1/2)
After Sigyn's secret fun time, Theoric woke up the next day refreshed and ready to head out, giving one last goodbye kiss to his wife with a bit of fondling before he left. No longer fearing for her safety as she made vast improvements in her plant-based powers thanks to the new garden she tends to.
He knew she had nothing to fear from mortals, but if something magical shows up, it was good to know she could defend herself now.
The village was located far north of most major places, so Theoric headed out south. When he was far enough away from the village he decided to give flying a shot after getting the hang of it in training.
Enveloping himself in energy he willed himself up, it was awkward at first because it was like moving your body with your hand, but he soon got the hang of it as he flew just above the treetops so as not to easily be spotted by anyone. (Think Green lantern.)
He looked for anything out of place as he flew around.
To many people, flying would be a joy, but for him, it was just a means to an end. Maybe he would feel differently if it wasn't such a weird feeling of holding himself. He was still hopeful that in the future he would get to really fly since the Acanti could.
It wasn't until the following day while walking through the woods after growing tired of willing himself around that he heard a great commotion.
The birds around the area took off to escape and random wildlife such as deer and rabbits made a run for it.
The booming noises grew closer as he headed over to check it out, soon hearing a deep loud voice filled with hate and loathing.
”Get back here vile olympian spawn, I'll make sure to wipe out your entire race!”
He then heard the desperate screams of a woman- ”Faster Anna, Faster! We can't let him catch us!”
Theoric just about in view had to quickly duck as a tree came flying over, breaking into another with a loud crash.
He covered himself in a protective layer so the shards wouldn't bother him as he crept back up to take a peek. Spotting two young women running for there lives from a giant cyclops who kept roaring and hollering obscenities at them every chance he got.
”You vile evil bitch spawns, I'll be sure to tear you limb from limb and feast on your bones!”
The cyclops bent down to pick up a small boulder, hurling it over with all its might. One of the women who noticed yelled, ”Duck!” pulling her companion down as it soared over taking out many trees just ahead of them.
