31 Stormskin (2/2)

”Those are River Wolves, the adults are almost as strong as a Knight, their real danger comes from their large pack numbers. They shouldn't be too much of a hassle at this distance...”

As Stormskin hadn't been fully briefed on the current situation, he suspected that the young miss was a prospective Mage and therefore dismissed any danger associated with the pack of River Wolves. Yet to his surprise, instead of casting spells, the young miss burst forward with incredible speed.

Nora finally having a target, shot forward. Lamenting the lack of a weapon but excited nonetheless, she headed straight for the largest of the River Wolves. As she neared the wolves, they too accepted the challenge and charged towards her.

Nora's fist recoiled backwards before throwing a vicious punch at the open jaw of the Alpha River Wolf. The initial resistance gave way as the jaw became unhinged and tore off the poor wolves face. The sound of tendons snapping and flesh ripping made the entire pack freeze motionless.

Not wanting to waste the opportunity, she threw two more violent swings at the Alpha's head, each swing further disconnecting the head of the River wolf from its body.With the first signs of the alpha going limp, she turned her focus to the next wolf.

Digging her feet into the ground, she threw herself towards the next wolf, continuing her carnage

Stormskin back at the carriage could only sit back at the sight of the brutal little girl. She had completely defied his expectations. He would've never expected the young miss to be such a monster. Her movements showed no remorse or thought, almost as instinct she flung herself from one wolf to the next as she contorted and deformed the poor wolves.

Nora had made her way through eleven of the wolves as she threw the final kick to the side of the last wolves head. The kick itself breaking the wolves neck with an audible crack.

Finding relief in the violence, Nora took a deep breath, calming her mind and body. She truly needed to punch something, the lack of power she had felt previously in front of the Headmaster had gotten to her and now she had released the pent up anger.

In the forest around her, the air stood silent. Until, she heard a quiet whimpering off in the bushes to the side of the road.

'Crap...'
