Wolf Hunting!

It's been quite a while since Celeste had been on a mission, usually she was the first one accelerating towards the quest board in search for one that satisfied her needs, hunting wolves was something she never expected to participate in though if it paid well then she didn't really have a problem with it really. A portal was summoned in the lycan woods, it's glistening aura pulsing from the flat celestial spiral, Celeste stepped out of the gateway entrance entering the domain of where these wolves called home allegedly. This entire ordeal gave her the creeps, fog filled the vicinity with great distance, trees weren't flourishing with wondrous life instead most of the trees we're dull in presentation, only unsturdy branches existed along the trees. Celeste would be attired with a blue short ruffled skirt, a white t-shirt with a blue heart symbol at the center, the shirt is concealed though by her panda jacket, it's sleeves we're black while the torso was white with a panda's animated face on the center of jacket. She also wore long black socks that we're knee length, with her brown boots to finish the outfit off. Ryo didn't approach her yet which made her feel frightened for whatever sinister organism roamed these lands, she walked over to a near my the and sat down along the base of the harshly drained plant life, she crossed her legs and folded her arms into her lap as she waited before progressing onward.

Celeste examined the area around her for a bit, the longer she sat there the more she grew slightly paranoid, hopefully her partner would arrive soon so that the two could begin their mission, she wasn't skilled in any magic just yet, though she was quite the capable fighter as she did learn martial arts while growing up. The young sabertooth mage even was able to proceed with utilizing her acrobatic movements in her fighting style which gave her somewhat of an upper hand in terms of agility. A crow emerged from the dark cloudy atmosphere, it landed gracefully onto one of the branches that we're in front of her, “ Oh hello there friend” she said with a smile as she loves animals.

Ryo sighed as he and Gora walked through the forest. He didn’t want to be here, mostly because he found that killing werewolves was a fairly tedious thing to do. He wasn’t sure why the magic council couldn’t ever seem to handle things themselves, but it was clear that they were as useless as nipples on a breastplate. Yet, he had been asked for help by one of his guild members and he would not deny her request for aid. It was his duty and his honor to help her being that she sought his aid in this quest. They had headed straight there not knowing that she had a faster way to get to the location.

As the pair walked Gora snarled low in his throat “This place is dangerous Ryo. I do not like it, there are wolves here and this pack is not going to like that I am here.”

This in turn only caused Ryo to shrug his shoulders as he drew out a tarot card with a single sword drawn upon it. Flowing his magic into the card it began to glow royal purple with the power and from the card the sword slowly began to rise taking physical shape in the real world. When it came entirely out of the card the magic stopped. Ryo snatched the sword out of the air and stuck it in his belt. He was happy to have his silver sword in hand once again. This was the perfect weapon for dealing with werewolves. He knew that silver was good against evil of all kinds, and werewolves were no less evil than he was. Presently, he nodded “Well, we shall be happy to settle any of the wolves who wish to test you. They shall be sorry. After all, your kind are the undisputed rulers of the Lupine species. Besides you aren’t going to stay here, nor are you going to be a pack leader here. There is nothing for you to worry, about.” After a few more minutes of traveling he arrived at the spot where Celeste was waiting. He saw the raven frowning “You know, several cultures say that ravens are messengers are death. Of course, some of the Elders use ravens for eyes.” He says speaking about the foes that Sabertooth had fought after they destroyed the Ace of Spades.

Celeste came to reality once Guild Master Ryo had arrived with his beloved companion Gora, she blinked instinctively at his statement on crows, if this saying we're true she then she wouldn't hesitate to sustain her vigilance, the young girl got up while disregarding her internal prediction of what may lay ahead. She skipped over to the two while waving, “Hello Master Ryo, oh, who is your friend? I don't think I ever met him before” she said while kneeling down a bit aiming her eye contact over at the white wolf, she tilted her head staring at him in curiosity as she felt it was rather ironic to bring a wolf since they would be looking for bloodthirsty wolves to apprehend hopefully. Celeste gold eyes transition in position over to Ryo, “ Oh and thank you for coming! I thought you'd be busy with a mission of your own since your so strong!” she admitted enthusiastically while still wondering about the wolf in her head.

She then decided that she'll conversate with the appealing creature during they're search, the last time she had seen Ryo was during the attack on Sabertooth's guild, that tragic event was a heartbreaking experience to witness, from time to time she teared up whenever deeply thinking about the lost Sabertooth has faced. Though they prevailed and know have a new place to call home, a realm that is protected due to its elusive state, she knew quite well that no foe outside the realm could gain access which made her feel relieved to know another guild hall wouldn't be demolished.

Ryo inwardly flinched as he was once again called ‘Master’. He wasn’t used to being addressed as such. Simply because he wasn’t long a guild master. He was one of two that Sabertooth had, and Kite had named him a fellow Guildmaster for the part he played against the Elders. Still, Ryo was worried that he didn’t deserve it. Presently, he cleared his throat looking carefully at Gora “This is Gora. I saved him when he was young. He is a dire wolf. I don’t recommend you look him in the eyes. He wouldn’t hurt you, but he is a very dominant wolf. Please be careful.” In fact, Gora was looking at Celeste with a tilted head. He stood nearly as tall as Ryo, his head reached up to nearly the height of Ryo’s shoulder. He was interested in Celeste sniffing at her carefully. Ryo shook his head gently “No need to thank me. I am happy to help. This job could be very dangerous, and I would hate for anything to happen to you.”

Ryo recalled Celeste, as he recalled most of the members of Sabertooth. Still, he recalled he had seen her during the fall of the old Guild hall. He shook his head as he dismissed that thought. It would do nothing but hurt him again. He couldn’t allow himself to be hurt by the memories. He looked at the Raven with a frown and threw a playing card straight at it. It struck the bird and killed it. Nodding his head, he looked to Gora “Find our foe Gora. We are hunting.” Gora gave a great bark of agreement and put his nose to the ground sniffing ahead of the pair of wizards quickly. As he did so Ryo looked to Celeste “I do apologize if this seems a tad, brash, but do you possess any kind of combat experience? Can you defend yourself and kill these creatures?” he asked walking along with her smiling ever so slightly to show that he was approachable.

Meanwhile, Gora relayed the information in his head “We are being hunted. We don’t have long before we are attacked. Be careful of wolves.” Ryo didn’t let this contact show on his face, but his sword hand casually gripped the hilt of his silver blade readying himself in subtle ways for battle.

Celeste noticed his instinctive flinch once she referred to him as a master,  she didn't want to bring it up as she believed that it would've been rude to ask about his preferred name since she didn't know if they were true friends just yet. Once he introduced Gora to her she smiled at the dire wolf,  Gora had an abundance of energy, she felt,  though Master Ryo was on a far other level with his card magic. Celeste giggled, “ Well it's nice to meet you Gora” she says with a light chuckle as she started getting up. She was still glad that Ryo was able to participate on this mission with her,  she wanted to prove herself to a superior and show that she isn't such an average mage,  she doesn't need her sky god slaying magic for this unless it got heated for her.

Celeste didn't speak up to question why he killed the crow,  it's rumours shouldn't portray a false identity of the crow,  its meaning could accelerate into many different aspects from an unknown source. As Gora began to sniff around she found it fascinating as she also was able to smell as well, not only things that don't affect her yet one substance could potential trigger something horrifically unstable, blood. Her attention shifted over to Master Ryo as he asked her of her capabilities, “ I do know magic so I can try!  But I won't be using my magic just yet, I'll know when the time is right. I'll use my bare hands and feet, it should be enough to take them down with a few consistencies of the punches and kicks that are targeting the stronger wolves, well for me that is” she said to herself while remembering Diverna. Celeste took a cautious glance at the sword he had suddenly in his grasp,  she knew at this moment that it was time to defeat the enemies.

Celeste heard rustling in the dark bushes in which then a stern expression formed upon her face as the three would be faced with the first patch of the batch of wolves.

As Celeste told Gora that it was nice to meet him the great dire wolf nodded his head to her. Ryo on the other hand was very impressed. He didn’t know many people who treated Gora with that kind of respect. He smiled as he walked with her he said “You can just call me Ryo. I’m not here as your guild master. I am here as a fellow Sabertooth. I like to think of this guild as my family. Our guildhall as our home. Please be at ease, my dear.” He said in a cheerful tone of voice.

Ryo nodded his head as he listened to Celeste list her capabilities. Nodding his head in understanding he said “Very good. I shall be happy to lend a hand when you need it. Also, Gora won’t allow you to be overwhelmed. Yet, you must be ready to kill. These wolves won’t have any hesitation about killing you, of that, I promise.” The moment that the first wolf broke cover and charged them his sword was out. The wolf, however, didn’t get a chance to do much more than break cover before Gora was on him. It was highly unfair because Gora was three times as large as the wolf he was fighting, but the wolf fought him as ferociously as Ryo had ever seen anything fight. It must’ve been the influence of the werewolves in the area because Ryo wouldn’t have thought normal wolves would’ve fought a Dire Wolf under normal conditions.

Still, the battle wasn’t over or won yet and so Ryo had to turn to face his opponents. There was another wolf that broke cover and came charging straight at him. He knew that this was the smart play, typical wolf tactics. Take out, the biggest threats, and between him and Gora they appeared to be the largest of the threats. With only three strokes of his blade, he brought the first wolf down dead at his feet just in time for a pair to come barreling out of the foliage. He deliberately took up a defensive stance against one of them but let the other have a choice of targets between him and Celeste. He had to see how she fought, but he wouldn’t let her come to harm.

As she expected Ryo was in fact a terrifically generous guild master,  the title meant absolutely nothing to him in terms of formalities,  she smirked as he continued to speak,  she couldn't help but agree with his statement on the guild's representation as a whole,  as they weren't just teammates,  but family. Celeste gave a glance at Master Ryo,  with a soft chuckle she tilted her head and smiled, “ Thank you Ryo,  that means a lot more to me than you'd think” she admitted happily as it did. Celeste paid close attention towards his constructive advice on the wolves that inhabited such dull wilderness,  she nodded while balling up her fist awaiting for the wolves to attack. Once the first one had commenced it's leap Gora took the wolf on with complete efficiency,  she never had seen two wolves fighting before and never knew the differences between a dire wolf and a regular wolf either however she knew it must've dealt with a contrast in size possibly.

Two other wolves approached in which then she grinned,  without hesitation she instinctively pressed her feet into the ground causing her body to accelerate towards the two wolves, “Nice one Gora!  Keep it up!” She said encouragingly in which then she swung her fist on to bridge of the second wolf's nose causing him to yelp in pain,  she then slammed her other fist on the side of it's head causing the wolf to slide across the pavement. The other wolf tackled Celeste in which then the two rolled along the surface until she kicked the wolf upon it's belly and sent it skyrocketing into the air,  she pounced into the air and front flipped,  while in the mix of her motion she used her right leg to send the wolf drastically into the dirt.

Celeste would then fall back down on the ground landing safely on her feet,  she then watched as the two wolves struggled a bit to regain their balance, “ I will warn you two know,  leave this place and never hurt the residence here again” she said proudly though the wolves didn't bother to even pay attention to her words. The two growled at the seemingly weak girl,  the two wolves thrusted forward on all fours chopping their teeth up down and down in a repetitive manner, “Oh well.. “ she said with a sigh in which then she ran in there direction while keeping her fist balled tight,  she could feel the energy inside her pulsing with each blow she delivered.

Ryo looked to her nodding his head once “I am glad that it means so much to you. I know it means just that much to me.” He said happy that she seemed to understand him, and what he was saying. To be honest it was a relief that she seemed to think along the same lines that head did. To be honest he was worried that many of the guild members didn’t see the guild in the same light that he did. Still, he saw it in a very special light and wanted the rest of the members to see it in the same light too.

When Gora and the other wolf went down it was clearly a one-sided fight. Gora was just far too big, and he slaughtered the smaller wolf his much larger teeth easily ripping through the smaller wolf’s fur around his neck. His thick powerful claws pierced through the smaller wolf’s body even more. The battle was done, and Gora was quick to launch at the next wolf that was attempting to slip past Ryo towards Celeste. Tumbling and dancing with this wolf Gora again showed that his massive size difference was a powerful thing to allow him. Ryo didn’t feel like he had to intervene although the wolf fought with a very impressive bit of ferocity. Gora was handling his own, and it seemed that Celeste was handling herself as well.

He watched as Celeste did indeed use her body as a weapon. It was a very skillful performance he had to admit that Celeste didn’t necessarily need magic to be effective. He was glad to see that. Because if she was limited to what she could do by her magic that would hamper her. He had been that way when he had been a young wizard like her. He was distracted from his thoughts as he turned to look towards the forest around them. He could see that there were others coming towards them, and this meant that he couldn’t allow things to be held out for any longer. He snatched up his Ace of Spades firing six shots into one of the wolves that was charging towards Celeste dropping it dead “We don’t have time to waste. We are going to have more guests.” He turned tucking his pistol back in its place pulling up several cards from his random deck boxes and gathered them ready to cast his next spell. The new threat was coming towards them, and he would be ready.

'Monster Dice' :

As Ryo intervened and successfully taken down the wolf with a single attack she started to truly noticed the massive gap in raw power she possessed in which then she finished the last wolf off inhaling and exhaling slightly as she was catching her breathe, visions of beasts begun to enter her head briefly which caused her to appear startled for a moment until it seemingly vanished out of no where. Celeste disregarded the odd vision and remained vigilant for the time being, once the next set of wolves arrived probably due to the echoing ruckus they've created, she balled up her fist once more and held up her guard. Their were three, one was different from the others, it had a more darker pelt which made Celeste very cautious, suddenly the two smaller wolves dashed at Celeste while the older wolf attempted to attack the guild master.


She widened her golden eyes and tightened her stance ensuring stability as she prepared herself, one of the wolves reacted too quickly for her in which then it bit into her hand as she tried to maneuver away from the frontal assault, she stumbled to the ground as she held her wrist with her other arm, her hand..it smelled like..blood. Celeste started to panic, she rolled along the pavement and pushed herself back up on her feet, this wasn't good at all, she debated on using this skill but at the price of her own sanity. As the oozing blood dripped from her hand she narrowed her eyes, though the two wolves still proceeded on their pursuit in which then she became infuriated with rage," You stupid wolves!" she shouted in which then she tackled one of the smaller wolves and clenched her bare teeth into his flesh.


Celeste's heart started to pump rapidly, she drunk the blood, it started to taste delightful to her the more she would bite, her eyes started to glow red in which then she ripped a piece of flesh off the wolf and looked upwards into the sky, the transformation had begun. She started to grow taller, 10ft at that, she grew black horns that curled up into a sharp point, Celeste gained razor sharp teeth and her skin turned red, she grew four yellow eyes with four arms, her hair color shifted into a  more black raven hair style that covered one side of her face as she smiled. Celeste wasn't the same bubbly young wizard another, she suffered the fate of Caine's Descent, as she opened her mouth she screamed with all her might scattering the terrains debris with her painful voice that caused the wolves to yelp in agony due to their ears.


Afterwards her attention turned to the wolves as they were the closest, she rushed with a decently sharper difference in speed, as she grabbed the wolf with her upper hands she used her other lower two arms to grab the other wolf, as she held them in her grasp she sunk her black claws into their skin impaling them, she bite into wolves one by one, taking turns on which one she decides causing it to yelp repeatedly until she completely devoured the two. Celeste dropped  what remained the corpses still having trails of blood flow down her clawed palms and mouth,"Rwoaarrrrrrrrrrr!!!" she shouted slamming her fists into the ground in frustration, for particularly no reason.

Ryo wasn’t particularly impressed with himself, but his hands were now full of cards. His right and left hands suddenly began to glow. His gloves caused the nine cards in each of his hands to float above them. He didn’t believe in wasting time with these weaklings “Gora back!” he called out. The great Dire wolf leapt backwards out of the way snarling low at the wolf who was coming towards Ryo. He also noticed that it wasn’t a normal wolf, not really, there was something very, very strange about this creature. He decided that he would investigate it more when it was dead.

He selected two cards out of the group and spoke “Attack Combo: Fire Missile!!” he threw the cards together and they formed into a missile shape slamming into the wolf that was baring down on him. With a loud resounding explosion of fire and magic the wolf was brought down. This was one of Ryo’s most powerful spells, and it was his ‘signature’ spell that most people knew him for. It was the first spell that he had ever learned when he was his mistress’ apprentice. He only continued to master it improving upon it again and again until now it was among his most powerful spells, and he was so good at using it that it didn’t take any of his mana to cast it.

With the wolf downed and dead he walked over carefully stabbing his hand down to break the wolf’s neck. When he broke the neck, he nearly took the creature’s head off as well. Kneeling down he further inspected the wolf. He knew wolves, he knew dire wolves, but this wasn’t anything like that. This was a werewolf. He had been reading about the occult creatures of the world ever since he became one of them. It was something of a huge obsession of his, and so this was the time for him to know it.

He was distracted from his thoughts and his investigation as he heard the very loud, and slightly impressive roaring and slamming of fists behind him. He turned and looked with a raised brow as the sweet little Celeste that he knew was gone consumed by some kind of Demon. Being that he didn’t see a body he assumed that it was her. Gora glanced over at Ryo nodding his great head to show that this wasn’t an opponent. Slowly Ryo made his way over to Celeste holding up his hands slowly “Celeste, calm down. I know you are in there. Celeste, this power you have is within your control. Please calm down and get ahold of yourself. You are too good of a person to let this demonic form, or power corrupt you. You must be in control of the power.” He found that the words came naturally to him, as if he was prepared to help people become monsters, or rather regain control of themselves should they become monsters.

Gora on the other hand stood at the ready. He had moved behind the pair of them and was ready to attack, but only should Celeste attack Ryo first. He was not normally one who would attack members of Sabertooth, but Ryo would understand.
