5 The Wolfking (1/2)
In a cave deep in the forest, a figure was sitting on his throne. His tanned body was covered with hair and a brown tail wriggled on his backside. Long black hair falling onto his shoulders. He surprisingly looked just like a hairy Saiyan except for his sharp claws and his eyes. His yellow eyes seemed to glow in the dark, staring at the one kneeling in front of him.
Someone patted his shoulder, trying to calm him down. He looked at his partner in life, right next to him. Like him, she was an alpha-mutant. Born to rule those around them. Because they developed intelligence at a young age, they became more ambitious as they grew up. As superior beings, they took over the surrounding packs and with their enhanced lifespan they easily managed to take over and rule a large margin of the south in the forest.
They even accomplished to banish the trolls to the northern parts. However not without cost, his wife got seriously injured and is still healing after 2 years. That's why they lessen their advancement for conquest, to lick their wounds, just to come back stronger than before.
Then they came across a hairless humanoid child who killed one of their scout groups. At first, they wanted to take revenge for the group they lost to him, but it became a full out war.
The child was more dangerous than he anticipated, losing 5 of his beta-mutants, he arduously gathered from the conquered packs.
The alpha knew that those humanoid beings are not something he could provoke, they rule over a mayor area just outside the forest to the south. In the last few years they started to occupy parts of the forest by cutting down the trees.
Without the cover of the trees it became more difficult for his people to defend their territories. So, they retreated and gathered to their main den.
The two races now were in a stalemate, with the alphas protecting their people, their enemies didn't dare to rashly invade this place, but he still knew, they were just planning for their next move to lessen their losses. But he had no way to deal with them at the moment.
He again looked at the panic-stricken face of his last beta-mutant.
Transferring his thoughts to him. ”He let you live?”. The beta didn't have the same high telepathic ability as the alpha but could still send out an intent to the inquiry. 'Hmmm. He is just outside and wants me to come out?' Now filled with anger. 'Very well, let me welcome you. I didn't want to provoke your race, but I won't just stand by as you walk over us!'
As the alpha approached the exit the smell of blood filled his nose. As he was stepping out into the sunshine of the afternoon sun, he saw the corpses of his brothers and sisters scattering about. Although most of them were from other packs, wolves instinctively follow the strong, so they naturally became kin after spending and following him after all those years.
Most of the corpses had their heads smashed in, a few limps were torn apart and the ground was drenched in blood. This was clearly not battle, but a one-sided slaughter!
He had expected this sight but after seeing it with his own eyes, he became furious. ”You bastard! DIE!” He pounced at the child, covering his claws with ki, he slashed at the throat. But the child just dodged and indifferently said. ”Oh. You can actually communicate. Did your kin not have this ability? I only heard them yowl about.”
”SHUT UP!” with fierce attacks, he followed the child. Every slash and punch cut up the surrounding trees and cracked the ground up.
The beta and his wife watched the fight from the cave entrance.
The only thing they could see were two blurs, clashing against each other repeatedly. Still they could see who was defending or attacking. The wife on the side just sighed. ”So, this is it.”
No doubt their leader was on the offensive but…
