The phoenix landed not far from it was big the size of a truck it lowered it head it could swallow me whole if it wanted but it didn't instead it rubbed its head on me with some affection " thanks for taking care of them I appreciate it what is your name" I say as I pet it but it didn't reply just stared at me " I guess you can't talk " it let out a low screech in reply
"That's fine is it fine if I give you a name" I asked it which it nodded to I looked into it its red eyes for a little bit thinking about what to name it I thought of a old myth " what do you think of the name icarus " the phoenix thought for a little bit then screeched that it liked the name I smiled petting it " Alright icarus let's go get these elves out of here "
A couple days later I was on icarus's back as we flew to regroup with the others after helping the elves I took them to a town were they will get help " I hope you like Elise she is my wife I love her a lot plus she is a good person I think you two will get along " we flew the rest of the way in silence
We made it ti the place we are suppose to regroup at it was the log house that the first slavers I ever killed built when icarus landed the mist around the phoenix got pushed back I hoped off kal and James were already there " your majesty hope your hunting was as good as ours " I nodded to them just accepting they are going to call me that " yes it went very well I cleaned my area of slavers so it should be safe for some time" i say to them " That's good our hunts went well to our area is clear as well " James said proudly then looked at the phoenix on my shoulder with wide eyes icarus could shrink down to the size of a patriot
See him I said " this is icarus my second summon " icarus gave a little screech James reached out with his finger and scratched under icarus's chin the phoenix leaned into it " ahh it is very sweet " James said I chuckle at him saying this " I don't know if you would be saying that of you knew that it burned forty men to ash in a couple seconds but you are right " I say then start to rub the side of icarus's head James pulled back his finger with a little fear in his eyes
A few hours later it started to get dark but Elise and lazza haven't shown up yet " do you think something happened should we go look for them" James asked after it was clear they were running late I shook my head " no not yet let's wait a little more just to be sure " I said wanting to have faith in my wife also try to calm my own nerves so I don't do something stupid I started to pace unable to keep still anymore
About twenty-five minutes there was some movement in the mist it was lazza she was running In our direction she probably couldn't see us because she didn't act like she could see us I ran over to her not seeing Elise with her seeing me she relaxed a bit starting to pant " fuck this forest I ha- " I cut her off before she said anything else I was to worried " where is Elise" i say getting to the point she looked away which made my heart start to race " I'm sorry my king but I failed in protecting the future queen "
Trying not to lose control I say as even as I can " what happened " she the started to tell me how they had cleared out there zone and were headed to the regroup spot when the got attacked a day into there journey Elise and lazza were fighting Elise then took a hit that was for lazza then a man turned into shadows appearing next Elise capturing her she yelled for lazza to run she was a little hesitant but saw it was for the best
She managed to lose them thanks to the mist but instead of leaving to find us right away she used her enhanced scents of smell thanks to being a goblin to follow the humans just outside the range they could see her....she followed for a bit eventually leading to a clearing in the forest with a old fortress there that they were apparently staying at there were guards everywhere it was probably the main place we have been hearing from everyone so she figured out were it was then made her way to the regroup spot luckily it was only half a days walk here
I looked at he after her explanation not sure what to say" you to a huge risk not leaving to come get us right away but it seems to have paid of so thank you lazza " she bowed " your welcome my king I didn't want them to get the queen without us knowing were she was " she said with a bit of guilt in her eyes not sure what to say to her I try to teleport to Elise my blood goes a little cold when I realize I can't teleport to her
" shit something is stopping me from teleporting to her and getting her out can you take us to the fortress " I say to lazza she thinks for a couple seconds " yeah I should be able to guide you shadow appeared under me I grabbed lazza pulling her in front of me " which way" I asked her as kal and James are already getting on their mounts to follow I worry about how close I am to her I only have eyes for Elise she pointed in a direction shadow took off as fast as he could with the others following close behind
It wasn't long before we made it to the old fortress it looked a lot like the castle in the human kingdom and there were slavers all over it outside it on the walls surrounding it
" we can wai- " James was about to say something but I cut him off " there is no waiting I'm going to charge in there with out them knowing to make sure Elise is safe and when you guy see my signal attack " I said in a hurry having a bad feeling in my stomach that's why I didn't want to wait " what's the signal " lazza asked me " you will know when you see it shadow cover me " I say
shadow covers me in a dome of darkness I didn't want anyone to see the flash of lightning on me I put my hands on the and moved one of my feet back digging into the ground to get a good foothold as I got into a starting sprint position while lighting built around and inside me usually I only use about twenty percent of my power when I enhance myself because it's all my body can but I will have to push it to its limits to get inside without anyone being able to stop me the lighting element answered my plea for help with excitement helping me push past my limits
When I felt it was enough and my body could take anymore the dome disappear and there was a bright blue flash followed by a sonic boom but for me as I was running toward the castle everything was still no not still as I got closer I noticed the slavers outside were moving just extremely slow no one noticed me even when I was close by before I went in I took out my pistol covered it in lighting element so it could work normally at shot at a few of them the projectiles started to slow down after a few feet of leaving the gun
I quickly put it away moving inside I killed anyone who was a human that got in my way I wasn't sure were I was going but swear I could feel Elise like my soul was being slightly pulled in her direction it was a very wired feeling I just knew it was her
When I got to where the feeling was the strongest I stopped in front of a door everything sped up again there was a bright flash where I took of the slavers I past dropped dead there was a big thunderous sound that shook the entire castle
The door in front of me shattered inside was a small room Elise was naked with tears in her eyes on the bed bent over with a man behind her with his pants down but he was sent flying slamming into the wall stunned I ran over to Elise quickly crushing the cuffs on her hands but she completely ignored me and ran over to the stunned man a magic circle appeared on her hand as a ice dagger materialized she started stabbing the man over and over while she kept his limbs frozen so he could do anything the man screamed until he took his last breath drowning in his own blood
Elise finally stopped stabbing him little bit after his death and started crying I walked over to comfort her but when I reached out she gave me a look that cut to my very soul she obviously didn't want me around right now not knowing what to say I just stood up walking out the room I was very angry lighting clouds started to build above the castle " lighting's wrath " I say as a bolt struck the castle It went through the whole building like a emp in the movies incapacitating almost everyone Elise and I were fine i made sure it wouldn't hurt her the others outside attacked seeing this as the signal
I kept walking without realizing it I stopped in front of a big door I pushed it open inside was a man on a throne with naked elven woman all around him he did flinch when I opened the door or seem scared he just took a sip from his wine bottle and groped one of the elves " so your the one who is crashing my place is it because of that elf that's a princess I think she is a bit overrated compared to these beauties" he said spread on of the elves legs to show he bits
I just ignored him as I started walking toward him as lighting crackles around me and space warped around me while the floor caved in after every step I took I have never been more angry in my entire life than I am at this moment my eye even started to twitch out of my control you could even see red markings start to appear if someone looked close but my attention was on the muscular man in front of me sitting on a throne " I'm going to make you regret being stuffed into that worthless meat bag" I say in anger the man just laughed at me
