Edgar looked down at himself. His shirt was ripped and bloody where the Night Panther's claws had dug in, exposing raw flesh underneath.
 He gulped and fixed his gaze in the Beasts. 
 A Wolf charged at him.
 He dodged to the left and slashed with his blade, managing to cut through the wolf's leg. Blood splattered onto his shoulder as he stumbled backwards a few steps.
 Another Wolf jumped out at Edgar.
 He dodged it successfully but couldn't get out of the way of its next attack.
 The last wolf howled and immediately, three huge boulders flew towards him.
 " Rock Wolves, they can ...control rock! " He grunted in pain . 
 As long as the rocks kept coming his chances of escaping alive diminished greatly.
 Edgar backed off and dodged more stones, then he jumped up in the air, landing gracefully behind one of the boulders.
 Edgar turned around quickly.
 " F*ck my pretty face !" He shouted as he lunged flames towards the nearest Wolf. 
 He rushed up to the Beast and cut him with the blades .
 The blade sliced into the Beast's neck, cutting clean through the skin and cutting into the underlying muscles.
 A mouthful of blood splattered on Edgar's face.
 The dying Beast hit him with the last energy left in its body.
  Edgar lost his balance and crashed onto his backside. The impact made him grunt in pain, sending another jolt of pain all through his body.
 The other two Wolves pounced at him ,intending on finishing the job. 
  Their jaws snapped shut on his wrists and they began pulling him towards the boulder.
 He kicked both wolves in the stomach, making them let go of him and stumble back from the sheer force of his blow.
 Edgar scrambled to his feet, panting hard, sweat dripping from his forehead.
 " Arghhhh" .
 He screamed as flames pured out from his mouth towards the Wolves.
 They countered the attack by summoning a wall of rocks that took the full effect of the flames.
 " Crap! I'm really going to die if I don't do something ".
  He mumbled under his breath " If I can take them down, maybe I'll survive".
 Edgar dashed towards the beasts and slashed his sword at the right one. However, the Wolf blocked with a shield made of rock. They pushed themselves up on their hind legs while simultaneously grabbing Edgar's shoulders.
 They slammed their feet against his ribs and he doubled over in pain.
 " Alright, you asked for it. Two against one isnt fair, time to turn it around " He said wiping the blood on his face.
 Edgar ran over to his sack and took out the honey jar. 
 " Follow me " 
 He dashed running towards a large hill in the distance. 
 " According to the map, that's where the Fire Bear's den is at" He smiled maliciously. 
 The Wolves followed along as Edgar continued running, keeping up their pace despite their heavy injuries and exhaustion.
 " They are too...fast, I...can't give up"
 Edgar gritted his teeth as he kept on pushing himself. 
 He couldn't afford to slack, two bloodthirsty Wolves were on his tail .
 After several moments of sprinting, he had reached his destination. 
 There was a huge rock cave sitting in the middle of the clearing. Its entrance opened to a tunnel.
 " Let's dance Baby " .
 He poured the honey on the Wolves and ran into the cave.
 The Wolves followed behind trying to finish him off.
 " Ahhh!" 
 Edgar yelled out in pain as the Wolfs paws raked across his back, ripping apart some of his clothes.
 " ROOOOAAARRRRRRR !" A monstrous roar echoed through out the cave. 
 " Honey and Blood, I bet its gonna taste as good like Philly Cheese Steaks. Enjoy your meal " Edgar said as he looked at the Monster infront of him.
 " A Rank 2 Beast, these wolves are royally f*cked up " 
 " Wait, I might be eaten up too. I thought I'll come up to a Rank 1 Bear ".
 It was an eight foot tall (2.43) Bear with dull orange skin and black stripes on its body.
 Its face looked ugly, its nose crooked and its yellow eyes filled with anger.
 It snarled furiously at the intruders with its mouth wide open showing several rows of sharp teeth and saliva spilling out of it, dripping onto the ground.
 His claws were as sharp as knives and the Wolves knew they were up for quite the beating.
 The Wolves howled in unison and suddenly four others had joined them. 
 " These guys travel in packs, they might have been around and came immediately they heard the howl" .
 It made him wonder what would have happened if he had continued fighting them. With another set of Wolves joining, he would have died for sure .
 The Bear roared and charged at the Pack. 
 " I guess I have no business here so I'll be leav..." 
 Before he could complete his sentence, the Wolves had used their ability to summon large rocks and sealed the exit. 
 " What the f*ck? These Beasts are quite intelligent, they know they stand no chance against the Bear so they are going for a suicide attack " He gasped in shock and disbelief. 
 The cave was very dark ,the only source of light coming from a very tiny opening at the back of the cave.
 " I can't pass through...but at least I should give it a try whiles these Canine brutes battle it out ".
 Edgar slowly crept towards the small opening. 
 " Dammit! A squirrel will have a hard time passing through this...and it's almost nightfall, Martha should be on her way by now. "
 " The Bear can destroy the rocks but the Wolves are going to fight back for sure. I need the Bear's body for my expirement. "
 " My best shot at getting out of here is if the Bear comes out victorious but with a hell of wounds on its body , I have little hope. Its a Rank 2 Beast afterall " 
 ************************************************
 Tupin's mouth was wide open in shock and utter disbelief. 
 He had witnessed the fight between Edgar and the Night Panther as well as the Wolves, all while hiding behind a large rock.
 He had followed the chase quietly too and was now standing at the entrance of the cave.
 " What is wrong with Edgar? How was he able to use the fire abilities? When did he get those abilities? Is that why Healer Keelson tasked me with keeping a close eye on him? "
 " And finally, why did he ran into the Fire Bear's den?" 
 These questions were swirling in his head and he just couldn't wrap his mind around everything. It didn't make sense. 
 " The other Wolves rushed in and the exit closed. He's trapped in there against these viscous Beasts. He's going to die for sure" He said the last part in a heart broken tone.
 He felt sick as soon as the words escaped from his lips.
 " I cant leave him alone. I can force my way inside... but even if I go inside, I won't be able to help... I'm powerless...useless" He bit his lower lip.
 He was soo lost in his thoughts that he didn't see a large Brown Wolf pounce at him knocking him with it's paw.
 " Arghhhh".
  He braced himself for his death...but...
 " SWOOOOOSHHHH!" 
 The wolf's head fell down and rolled 
  to the side, revealing a plump man holding a blood covered axe in his hand. 
 " Don't kill me too" Tupin screamed in fear as the man approached him.
 " Calm down Tupin,he's with me !"
 A familiar voice resounded in his ears. He turned to look at the direction of the voice and a huge smile formed across his face.
 " Martha! "
 Martha smiled at him in return.
