I fell for gods know how long. The air became more and more toxic and the senses I had barely trained were on full alert. After another day of falling a lake came into view.
*Splash*a huge splash was made as I fell into the lake, I swam up to take in a mouthful of air which I regretted a second later. If not for that poison resistance training I knew I would be dead with that one breath.
After calming down I began to take in the environment around me when my senses began blaring once more. I swam for shore as quickly as I could but I could feel with each second that went by whatever was after me got closer and closer, I looked behind me just in time to see a massive maw filled with teeth was about to slam on me when out of nowhere... something even bigger emerged swallowing the former creature whole. The emergence of said creature caused massive waves sending me all the way to shore.
I fell on the shore struggling for the poisonous air, looking back I had a good look at the creature. The creature was a massive snake with black scales all over with horn protruding from it head but with it's size, the horns looked more like mountains. I could not see it's entire body but from what I saw I knew the creature was an absolute behemoth, it eyes glanced at me for a second but it ignored me heading back into the lake.
I didn't know how long I had stayed there staring at nothing before I regained myself, at this point I was absolutely terrified thinking just where was I?
In the hunt Academy
Gareth was watching Tyler fall into the lost world, his heart was in his throat when Tyler was almost swallowed by the black lake lord. Gareth knew how many of his brothers his lost during his trials and hundreds had been lost to the black lake lord.
"Hmm now that's unexpected....." Gareth jumped when he heard that grabbing his sword and entering his battle stance. He was stunned however when he saw who it was, " you scared me." The person paused then began laughing the great Gareth of the North, scared hahahahahahaha..... ".
Gareth watched her placing his sword back down, " I wasn't expecting you Salma." Salma was an enchanting lady. she wore a tight fighting red dress showing of her curves which only served to increase her charm.
" well no one ever does, but here I am. " she replied as she moved to take a seat, " so to what do I owe the pleasure of having the jealous witch of snow paying me a visit " Gareth spoke with a smirk on his face as he leaned his back against the wall. Salma groaned hearing her title, " don't even start, I hate that title.... it makes it seem as though I can only perform ice type spells like seriously also..." she vanished from her seat "....do I need a reason to see my beloved. " she appeared before him with a sweet smile.
Gareth leaned in landing a kiss on her lips, parting lips her gave her a loving which she returned but soon it changed as she gripped his throat and her eyes became filled with killing intent.
"Now who is this boy going through the trials huh, don't tell me he is your son where is this bitch huh tell me so I can show her what endless torment feels like." Salma spoke sporting a maniacal grin on her face.
A look of panic flashed through Gareth's face, "don't be foolish Salma! the boy is but my apprentice nothing more", she looked him dead in the eye. Salma seeing he was telling the truth released him returning to her previous self "oh why didn't you say", she vanished once more appearing in her seat, " but why did you take him in, I thought you weren't taking any new huntsmen after the purge. " The was a short silence after she spoke " He is different... " Gareth said just three words which drew in her curiousity about the boy.
She looked at the image of the boy wondering just what was special about him for even Gareth to say such things......
