"I do feel it , little one. It is hurt, we should go and help whatever it is. We should quickly find it," Ivy said as she got up and was walking towards the door.
"No mother, I think we should not! It might be something dangerous trying to lure us into its trap,"scovian retaliated.
Ivy chuckled because she found her cute when she was worried.
"Scovian" ivy called out and held her shoulders "we better go find it and free it...if not,it may attract harm towards us...think about this..."she sighed lightly"...if you and I have felt it don't you think that something or someone else might have felt it?"
" Okay then..." She surrended after a little pause.
"Don't worry little one your mother will protect you," she hugged her tightly afraid to loos her.
"No...we will protect each other," scovian reciprocated.
....
On the arrival on the scene, the duo were shocked. There was a beast- the size of an eight year old struggling to get out of a beast hunter's trap.
Ivy stared at the trap and saw that it was rusty. She thought the trap was set up a long Time but then she noticed a dark aura emitting from the trap. She gasped in horror.
"Dark mage's magic! This means that it has already sent signals to the owner! This is bad! This is very very bad" she thought.
The small beast looked like a wolf. It had white fur all over it with an exemption of a huge red mark on its head.
"Mo-mother....are you alright?" Scovian asked worriedly when she saw the expression on Ivy's face.
This question drew the attention of the beast lying on the ground.
"Help m-m-me" the wounded beast voiced out shocking the duo.
"Di-di-did it just speak right now....or am I hearing things"
Ivy became stranded. She wanted to help the beast but feared that it may bring danger towards her family. But then she made up her mind to help the beast.
She cautiously approached the the wolf like beast.
"How can we help? I have no spiritual Hone while she...."pointing at Scovian "is at golden colour at the first rank.....so....how can we be of any help?"
"You are just enough...I will form a master-servant bond with you....to which it will replenish my drained mana and I will be able to get out of this trap" it explained.
"Will she or her children be at any harm?" Scovian asked worriedly but cautiously.
She could not help but ask because she was worried. Ivy was like a motherly figure to her. Even if she, Ivy, is of no use to her since she has no spiritual Hone....she nevertheless treasure her with love and care.
So she vowed to protect Ivy even if she will loose her life.
"This will be ju-ju-just fine! This bond will help her...it will break the curse in her body"
"Curse? You had a curse mother?" Scovian asked worriedly.
Ivy sighed then told her that she will explain to her once they are out of danger.
"Alright,let's do it!" Ivy said anxiously.
The near-dying beast cut itself on one of its paws and instructed Ivy to kneel so that it could place the seal.
Ivy followed the instructions. It drew a mark(red mark) similar to the mark on its head,on Ivy's forehead.
The mark then glowed red and suddenly a golden light covered her whole body.
The same golden light covered the little wolf.
Suddenly, the beast grew taller and taller reaching the height of a two-storey house.
Luckily,the surrounding trees were taller because it would have been seen from miles away.
"Mother...what do you think this beast is? It's not a normal beast because it could talk... people say that normal beast could talk once they reached guardian rank and change into human form but.....it hasn't"Scovian said.
.....,....
Beast are grouped into three, normal beast, demon beast and immortal bloodline beast.
Normal beasts go through the normal cultivation levels; low rank, mid rank, high rank , legendary rank and finally th guardian rank.
Immortal bloodline beasts are beast who are already born in the legendary rank to which it has to be unlocked by its parents once it reaches a certain age...
....,..
"Masters, someone is coming our way....." The beast said as it was glaring at a particular direction.
Suddenly, from that same direction,three hooded mysterious men and a beast appeared.
One of the hooded men was mounted on the beast. The group exuded a dark and evil aura of death.
....
"What are demon beasts doing in the human realm?" Scovin questioned nervously.
"Since when did you know about demon beasts....little one," Ivy questioned.
Scovian shrinked in fear. Ivy saw this and sighed then hugged the little one.
"Don't worry,mommy will always protect you "
Ivy then walked next to the beast .
"What rank are they?" She asked worriedly while patting on the beast.
The beast saw the worried look on its master and wanted to assure her that she was powerful but then thought against it.
"I sincerely do not know their rankings and that's the problem with dark mages....but from my assessment.,..I can defeat them" it said confidently.
"Little wolf...can I trust you?"Ivy questioned while releasing a terrifying strong aura without realizing it.
