Turning to where the voice was heard. Jamie saw three kids running up the hill towards them.
The one in the lead was a bubbly looking girl with ash brown hair and peach skin. The other two was a girl and a boy.
The thin boy excitedly waved his hands and called out to her. "Belle!"
After reaching the top those two immediately started chatting.
'How innocent.' Jamie thought as he watched the two excitedly speak with each other.
"Jamie!" He heard someone call out to him.
It was a girl around his age, she had beautiful brown hair and peach skin. Her hair was tied in a messy ponytail.
She smiled bashfully toward him.
Jamie returned the greeting when he heard Belle exclaim.
"Really?! You guys are going to goat fight?!" She loudly asked. Her face showed extreme excitement as she gazed at both Jamie and Zack.
"No."
"Yes!"
Jamie and Zack gave two different responses. Puzzled, she looked at the thin boy, who explained it to her.
"Oh! Jamie, you got no balls!" She suddenly said as she looked at Jamie with unhidden disappointment.
Jamie choked on his saliva when he heard her say that.
'Where'd she learn to say that?!'
"Yeah! NO BALLS!!" Zack took advantage of his shock to berate him with 'no balls'.
"Shut up, you brain dead idiot." He spat back
"Hah! I may be an idiot but at least I'm no coward!!"
"You just admitted to being an idiot." The thin boy butt in
"Okay, gentlemen. Let's go find some goats!" Belle suddenly shouted as she lead the way.
"I said I'm not going to do it."
"Let's go!"
The ponytail girl grabbed Jamie's hand, pulling him with her as she walked behind Belle.
"..." Jamie wanted to pull away but for some reason his body seemed to disobey. His heart even started to pound rapidly.
'I swear on my current life, I'm not sick minded' Jamie confessed inwardly
The group explored the green land, searching for any solitary goats. The group greeted some of the passing shepherd's, asking them if they have any goats or if they've seen some.
After about half an hour of searching. They found a big one. It was muscular with a battle scar on its right eye. It had a cow lick between it's huge and jagged horns.
"How is that a goat?!" Jamie exclaimed as he watched the goat eat grass. The sheeps' and smaller goats kept their distance, seemingly wary of the veteran goat.
"Hah, you scared Jamie? If you are, you could just kneel and apologize while telling me how handsome and awesome I am." Zack chortled
'This arrogant little shit..!' Jamie was annoyed, but let it go. He's an adult after all.
"Watch me, Mia! I will take on this tiny goat and prove to you that, I, am worthy of your love!!" Zack stated as he fervently gazed at the girl holding Jamie's hand.
Jamie looked at the girl holding his hand, finally realizing that she was the girl his mother mentioned.
'Not bad, me.' Jamie complimented his predecessor as he observed how intimate the girl was with himself.
Mia stared at him directly as she said. "Jamie isn't scared."
Zack returned her gaze, but looked away as he saw her discontent. Frustrated, he roared and marched toward the bull in goat skin.
"Muh!" The goat spoke. It looked at Zack in annoyance.
"C'mon!" Zack yelled as he spread his arms forward.
The goats eyes twitched as it began preparing it's charge. It's hooves stomping on the grass. It's head lowered but never breaking eye contact with Zack.
The goat screamed and charged.
"URGH!!" Zack grunted as he grabbed the goats horns, he was immediately pushed back.
Zack tried walking forward but the goat wouldn't budge. He only succeeded in cutting his hands, blood streamed down his hands and the goats horns.
The goat began to walk forward, forcing Zack to put all his weight to his front.
The goat screeched before lowering it's center of gravity, bringing Zack down with it. The goat, with controlled movement, raised it's upper body to the air, flinging Zack upward.
"WAHH!!" Zack screamed in fright as he was sent 10 meters into the air.
*BWAMM!!!*
Zack left an exaggerated crater after crashing into the ground.
'R.I.P.' Jamie shook his head.
"Aww, major fail!!" Belle watched Zack struggle to stand as she moaned in disappointment. Joseph, the thin boy, heartlessly laughed as he watched Zack come out.
Mia and the other smaller boy looked at Zack in concern, but otherwise stayed away, not giving him a hand.
"Here." Jamie offered his hand. Zack looked at it before he snorted and said.
"Losers don't deserve to be helped." He slapped it away before he got up on his own.
Jamie saw that spirits was low but didn't offer any words of encouragement.
'This'll teach him to not talk big without considering his chances of success."
"Your turn, Jamie!" Belle called out after Zack returned.
"I already said that I'm not going to do i-"
*ROOAARR*
Before Jamie could explain for umpteenth time why he wasn't going to play.
A loud growl was heard before a fat sheep was suddenly brought to the ground. A wolf was pinning it, rendering it unable to move.
The children were stunned as they watched in fright, the flock of sheep were also shocked before running away in fear, the wolf quickly ate some of its flesh and innards before pouncing on another sheep.
The veteran goat was outraged. As it stormed toward the wolf. It's cow lick made it seem as if it were running at super sonic speed.
"Hrr...!" The wolf noticed it's incoming opponent. It leisurely swallowed the meat in its mouth before baring it's fangs.
The wolf growled in disdain before charging to meet with the goat head on.
*BOOM!*
The wolf was thrown back. It fell on its back before quickly correcting itself. It eyes showed ferocity and anger as it glared at the goat. The harmless goat that the wolf thought it could easily crush turned out to be a formidable foe.
"AWOO!!" The wolf howled before energy started to spread outward from it's body.
Forming an aura of intangible energy. The energy started to centralize within it's body before it's form became larger and it's claws and fangs began to grow in size, it's claws were no longer black but became light blue in color. The wolfs size even grew by a few inches, it suddenly howled and disappeared from everyone's view.
*CLANG!!*
It suddenly appeared in front of the goat, the goat quickly reacted as it raised it's mighty horns and met with the wolfs strengthened claws.
The two separated before they both zoomed out of Jamie's and everyone else's sights. Even though they couldn't see the two, they could still hear their deafening attacks and even felt the air vibrate every time they clashed.
'H-how...is this possible?!' Jamie felt his brain freeze after watching the wolf power up. And even began to believe that he was going crazy after witnessing those two clash. Though he could only hear them and not see them after they began their battle.
"Jamie snap out of it and run!!" Jamie heard the kids cry, he turned to his sides and saw that his friends had already started running.
Mia was still relatively close but was also began running after grabbing Jamie's attention.
Jamie watched them run before turning around to look at where the fight was heard.
'Their strength seemed to be even, but. Just in case, I'll see how I can help.'
Jamie looked around to see if he could use anything as a weapon.
Meanwhile...
The goat and the wolf were charging at each other at rapid and impossible to be seen speeds. The wolf was already panting after having already clashed with the goat over 60 times. While the goat calmly fought and always counterattacked after the wolf struck.
They seemed to be in an impasse.
