Beyond The World. Chapter 1 : The War [part 2]

             But… one of the hell hound leaped high and jumped towards Kyn, almost ripped him in pieces.
“Boom…!” the hell hound was shot right after it landed on to the ground. Kyn took aim again, as the last hell hound threw him a blast of fire, but only Kyn’s power was stronger. The  orb in Kyn’s hand glowed more and Kyn’s body radiated such power that it ran through the fire as it was made from nothing. ‘Boom…!’ the last hell hound fell at least 10 meters backward, before running and bawling in pain.

            He let out a sigh of relief, before moving on. An odd flower that looked like an oyster shell was nearly stepped over by   him. It gleamed brightly, as it closed it’s petals.

Finally, he came to a halt as he made a final land on the peak of Eacan Canyon. He gazed down the valley. 

        He knew that there will be a great battle here soon. Kyn turned to West. Ahead of him, a huge wave of army was ready in blue armour steadily marched, along with their weapons. They were ready in everything, including accoutrements. But only few were humans. The rest were animals or creatures that seemed to be  from the prehistoric age. He saw a flock of greedy harpies flew in a circular motion. Along with them was a group of white-winged unicorns. Each of them had great shining twisted horn, as if it can fire a powerful beam from it.

       Down there, Kyn descried a herd of mastodon. For twice the size of jumbo elephant, the hefty mastodons could easily ran through things as if even a big tree seemed like nothing to them. The mastodons and unicorns both wore significant blue armours on their heads and bodies.

Not to mention, there were creatures that Kyn himself did not know exist. A long, rock-made snake that reached the length and size of two school buses, steadily trailed along the mastodons. Plus, imagine a creature that owned the body of a lion, and a couple of scorpion tails with three heads of bears emerged. Now make the size of that creature size. The moment Kyn looked at it, his heart pounded faster.

          Kyn on the other hand stood as tall as any normal teenager. His blonde hair that covered the strange ‘V’ mark on his forehead and his thin fur on his body made him a creature of a fused cat and human. He glanced to East. The army had equal number like the other side, only they were wearing red armours.

The harsh dry air from the canyon really cold and cruel, giving Kyn a chilblain. He swallowed a think saliva, as sweats trickled down his neck. Kyn gritted his teeth, before he burst to a yell.

“WHATEVER IT IS, I’LL STOP IT!”

Kyn straighten up and he was ready to charge downhill, but stumbled when a voice suddenly shouted his name from behind.

“KYN, WAIT !!!”

Kyn was startled. He twisted his upper body around to see that Sir Aaron was standing, panting and gasping for air. Well, he ‘saw’ that in his aura. Sir Aaron wore a black cape over his shoulder, and a pair of gloves along with a leather hat. Unlike Kyn, Sir Aaron was a real human. At that moment, Kyn immediately knelt down, lowering his head from looking at Sir Aaron.

He noticed that Sir Aaron always had his staff with him. A long, wooden-made staff that had a  large and nice cut diamond embed at the end of it. Sir Aaron also looked pale than his usual.

“M-master, where have you been?”

“Kyn, please stand up. I am not your master.”

He tried to throw a friendly smile to Kyn, but his mien was obviously showed that he was greatly worried about something.

“What happened to your eyes?” Sir Aaron asked.

“Don’t worry about me, master.”

“Are you planning to stop the war?” Sir Aaron added. There was a feeling of malaise at the edge of his voice.
“Yes.” Kyn briefly replied.

“And how do you plan to do that? You will never make it.?”

“I… um…” Kyn knew that what Sir Aaron had said was true.
