"Hold Your Position!"A Black maned Lycan roared, as the smoke rose from the burning homes all around. The cries and screams from woman and children intertwined with the gut wrenching wails of the village guard, as they tried to fend off the invaders. Lycan steel met The foul Giant flesh, for everyone giant that fell five of theirs fell with them.
The black Maned lycan rolled foward, barely avoided the fatal blow that would have surely made his end. But not all where as fortunate, a young pup that could barely wield a sword, was dangling lifelesslly on the crude sword of the enemy.
"Steady your Minds!"The lycan shouted, over the sounds of giant roars and lycan steel clashing.
"Archers fire!" A volley of arrows flew over head penetrating the skin of the giant invaders, rasing his sword and pointing it towards the giant with a fierce scowl he Roared rallying his men and charging foward.
The tides of battle continued to favor the giants, their strength, their size, sunk a hard truth into the survivors and the village guard this battle was lost. Bloodied The dark maned Lycan struggled against the giants hand that held him, The fighting had stopped as quickly as it begun.
The giants surrounded the last remaining survivors who took up arms in the mayor home, Shame filled the lycan his pride stretched to its limits as he watched helplessly. The elderly shaking with pitchforks in their hands, Woman holding swords and children peeking through the door of the mayors house.
"Surrender the battle is lost your hopeless defense will fall in seconds." The black maned lycan scowled his eyes glared fiercely towards the giant that held him. With darker skin than the rest, the giants gut was large and impenetrable. The lycan had seen it eat his men and use their weapons to pick its gore filled teeth.
"I have defeated your strongest warriors. Feasted on your helpless pups. Conquered Your pitiful home. And now captured The leader of your Warriors."the floor trembled as the Giant stopped their feet to the ground, the lycan was helplessly displayed infront for all to see in the hand of the leader of the invaders. Helpless wails escaped from the mouth of the villagers, The black maned lycan struggled against his grasp. As despair rose.
"what do you want. We have nothing to offer, you have destroyed our farms. Our food storages our engulfed in flames, the cattle have been gutted." Limping out of the crude last line of defense, a giant canine with shoulder length black ears and a white beard uttered. His tail wrapped in bandages draged behind him, with a sword in its scabbard on his waist. He was garbed in full metal armor, riddled with old dents and cuts.
The lycan gritted his teeth, the mayor. His friend was on his last legs. Silence sat. The giant hummed to his words.
"That is where you are wrong. You do have something to offer. We didn't come for your food. We didn't come for your gold No. We came for all of you." The black maned lycan Froze. Slavers. The Mayors face didn't change holding his hardend expression. He lifted one of his hand calming the panic ridden villagers.
"There's a high Price for the heads of able body Men and fertile women, and everyday The price grows higher. The great Kingdom of pabilsag and their gold are worth more than what you have." The giants face morphed into a sickening grin, the other giants followed suit. The black maned lycan breathing quickened, his hate growing. He knew what would happen he had seen it before, with his own eyes what those slavers could do. The black maned lycan opened his maw however when he was about to bite down on the hand that restricted him. His friend spoke, and a pit of dread filled his heart.
"I see than there's only one choice. Forgive me my people, I have failed you but I shall not fail you again. Evil Creature I'll make you regreat every life you have taken, For you face a man not afraid of death. Martial Art-Tilted Scale." The black maned lycan didn't even realize the tears falling from his eyes, shouting screaming as words not understandable left his mouth. Flailing uncontrollably in the grip of the giant, despair consumed him.
Steam rose from the mayors body, his snout grew more prominent. His tail ripped through the bandaged and grew longer. His arms grew larger straining against the metal that protected him aswell did his legs. A full change. the canine that stood their looked completely different than before. The mayor took his sword out of his scabbard, and moved swiftly his steps cracking the ground.
His armor reflected the shocked gaze of the giant that held the black maned lycan, his grip on his sword tightened Than he swung in a vicious arc, his sword cut through the giants wrist blood tainting his armor. The cries of the giant filled the air, holding it stump the giant slammed his weight against his sending the Mayor flying.
"Bring me his Head!" The Giants rallied cries stomped towards the mayor who raised himself against the destroyed home. They had charged towards him destroying everything in their path, to gain the approval of their leader. The mayor fierce eyes never left the giant who he cleaved off its hand. As he threw himself into the folly. Sweeping his sword it glided like it was blessed by the wind, meeting its target at every step.
Cutting up a giant stomach. It's inside spilled out. Desperately trying to put it back in, it didn't see the sharp edge that neared it neck until it was to late. Its head rolled off its neck its body falling to the ground. While the canine lunged forward towards the blind spot of the giant behind it. Piercing his enemy in its unguarded chest, and just like the one that came before it fell.
Suddenly a Giant axe, struck his side leaving a open gash in his armor. Growling the mayor retaliated throwing himself at the giants leg, his claws enlarged as he slashed and clawed until it tumbled to the ground. Rushing towards the giants neck his maw opened as he bit out a large chunk letting the blood drench him.
A moment later, five giants where upon him. The ground shook as two other giants pushed past them, swinging their hammers wildly down. With a feral roar the mayor brought his sword and clashed with their weapons. To their utter horror, their hammers where sliced through as where their skulls.
Hot steam left his mouth, The mayor could feel it. The sinking depth he carried, that familiar sense. It was almost time. His eyes glowed eerie. Gazing into the shaken giants that surrounded him, they deserved no mercy.
The last thing those giant saw before their bodies where cut in half, was those glowing eyes.
Launching himself in the air, the wind pressed against his fur. Crashing down to the ground he stood infront of the giant that led the invasion to his home.
His fur was covered in grime and gore, his upper armor barely holding on by the grips of it straps.Then the mayor looked back and saw his people, and what he expected didn't happen instead of fear he saw in their eyes sadness. Sobs and tears fell from their faces. And in the very back a familiar little pup, was being held by the love of his life Marva. Screaming and thrashing the pup reached out her hands desperately towards him, those pleading blue eyes. With a whisper he spoke.
"I'll go on ahead. Make sure to listen to your mother. Do your chores and eat three times a day. I love you dearly my little pup." It hurt when he heard her cries, but he had matters that needed culling.
Facing The giant it was oddly silent, staring into the mayor trying to figure something out before he grumbled. The mayor didn't have the time to chat. Sprinting forward he reached the giant, holding his blade with both hands he jumped high enough until they could see each other face to face. Just as he was about to stab his blade into its yellow eye, he froze. His body couldn't move, no matter how much force he exerted nothing happened.
"I was wrong when I said I had defeated your strongest warriors a fault of mine. I haven't had to use this spell of mine against any opponent so far thank you. You have truly opened my mind and earned my respect." The Giant said calmly, rasing his arm he grabbed the Mayor. He looked towards the despair ridden villagers as their Hope layed at his mercy.
"You failed them again." Those where the last words the Giant spoke. As he threw the mayor into his mouth, swallowing him whole.
The cries of the villagers erupted, women fell to their knees and the children weeped. The elderly men stood defiant pointing their pitchforks as tears fell.
"Put them in the cages."the Giant said, towards the only three living giants remnants of his force. Who followed his orders, stomping towards the villagers they reached down there hands just barely about to touch them when an explosion struck their faces simultaneously. Collapsing to the ground smoke obscured their faces until it was plain enough for anyone to see. Giant holes where there. straight through where there faces where supposed to be.
"You fought well I'll take it from here." Standing infront of the villagers, was a man that was not there before garbed in strange Red clothing, wielding two equally strange construction in the Palm of his hands that smoked. With a smile on his face The man eyes glowed a bright pinkish red as he spoke those words.
