Chapter 12 - the power within

after leaving the town of storm hinge i decided to strengthen my bond and search for any remanants of Widows power and so far ive come across nothing major the things i have found seemed to be dead ends. so as i contuined on my own to search i ran into a pair of people going on about a shape shifting beast wearing a pair of glasses that seem to grant it power intrigued i followed were they said the beast resided untill i came across a dungeon unlike the pheonix dungeon this one doesent have an enchantment locking you in once you enter i wondered why but didnt ask to many questions. as i enter this dungeon time stops as i realise im in my headspace Widow stares at me and says this dungeon dosent feel right i tell her i know it dosent somethings off but untill i know i must continue to move ahead cause i need to figure out what makes this place different from others as i decide aginst Widows request to move forward we reach what seems to be the end of a battle but all the people seem like they were burned from the inside out and nothing was left but there corpses they were looted all there clothing weapons anything they had gone maybe bandits came other adventures but what i can say for sure is that whoever or whatever did this wasent human and has some seirous power to it so i grab my scythe as i proceed to block an arrow from what seems to be a cloaked archer this one is covered in shadows and you cant see his face but he doesent give me time to try to think as he charges at me almost stabbing me if i hadent barly dodged his attack as he goes in for another shot i use ice to freeze him in place before punching him full force into a wall with little to no ease as he falls i pick him up to ask him questions but before i can get anything from him someone comes up behind me and shocks me with some type of lightning forcing me to the ground unable to stand i look at my attacker and see hes like me a fusion user but he has more practice and not only is he more skilled his armour looks evolved like its a step higher then mine but instead of trying to dwell on that i do the only thing i can to stand a chance i focus as my pendet and bracelet resonate as my fusion activates the lighting attacker smirks as he says i guess things got more interesting mind if i handle this as he looks at his partner he nods and then he turns full leapard and charges and i dodge i say we can do that i didnt know we could do that before i can process it he goes for another attack as i proceed to roll past dodging once more as he looks at me ready to pounce again he looks at me and says you may have the abilty to fuse but your no where near my level and you never will be if all you do is dodge as he detransforms his hand forms a lightning orb as he walks slowly at me with intense anger in his eyes with the determination to kill.

without hesitation as he walks he says if you were a true fusion expert you whoudent be using the abiltity you have on your own you whould be one with your partner and know that it woudent let you down but right now your fear is so strong that i can tell just by looking at you that trust is the furthest thing away from what you are doing all i can see is me about to end you.

as he plunges his fist at me about to end it i say to myself after hearing his words Widow i know that i say i trust you but now im ready to prove it this is your power and i cant fully realise it without your help please lets do this together and as if a new doorway has opened up i hear her say thats all i needed to hear as his hand nears my heart it starts to freeze as if in a snowy tundra with no protective gear as he relises what happened i get up with my eyes becoming snowwhite along with my hair as i slowly start shifting into full fox form i say thanks to him as he looks in surprise as i finish saying thanks to you our bond is stronger then ever as i proceed to freeze him whole leaving only the things on him unfrozen as his partner looks at me he flees the scean leaving nothing but his pride behind and i turn back to normal i relise my hair and eyes havent reverted to there normal colors as i ask Widow she tells me that there not going to for now at least she says my sudden transformation came with great power but with great power sometimes means great training to master and this is one thing ill have to master if i want to turn my hair and eye color back to normal she says as i look at her in disbelief i decide its not worth my time as i search the guy i froze stuff i look on his body and find his pendent which alowed him to fuse with his leopard it looks like it requires a lightning user ill keep this for when i see Jillian again she can use it if she chooses to as i look at everthing else he has i find nothing worth it as i decide to proceed forward I see the leopard and I decide to confront it seeing me sits down with its head down expecting Me to end it instead I hold out the pendent and ask if it would like to return out of here with me it looks up and nods as it goes in the pendent as I move forward in the dungeon the feeling is still there from when we first entered but its time to see what lies ahead.
