Beast Evolution

"Sir... multiple casualties, but I'm picking up two people moving towards the city" a female mage spoke as they rode at full speed toward bullmar city.

"Identity them immediately" a man in shiny silver armor shouted, the second in command of the Silver eagles.

The Silver eagles were the second highest and strongest guild in the kingdom of Avalon, they happened to be on a quest to kill a group of infected beasts when one of their mages noticed something strange about the knight academy.

"Sir, both of them are females and possibly part of the enemy rank, we are close by" the mage spoke.

"Possibly...Rin I told you to identify them correctly now!! who dare attack Avalon, who dare" the man in silver armor shouted as they ran forward.

"What is that sound, did they call for reinforcements?" Edith shouted.

"But that's not possible right?" Aurora questioned herself.

"They are close by, we should hide somewhere, if they are really reinforcements, we are in no condition to fight and win against them," Edith said.

"Then you should run towards Ian, there is no way we can hide from the reinforcements, they are probably heading this way," Aurora spoke.

"I'm not leaving you, there's no way I'm leaving you behind, I'm staying, can you use your spell on me," Edith said.

"I can but I won't, if I use my spell on you, I would fall unconscious and you would be killed, and I would be captured, instead go towards Ian, then you should join up with master, he would have gotten the scroll by now, please," Aurora said with tears in her eyes.

"We are going to find you and rescue you, even if that involves destroying half of Avalon," Edith said as she turned around and ran toward Ian.

"S-Stop, s...stop" a weak voice called but Edith already ran away.

Aurora heard the voice and looked at her side, Selena was now awake but she was barely able to stand on her feet, quickly Aurora rushed towards Selena with plans to use her as a hostage against the incoming reinforcements.

Aurora removed a small dagger from her waist and dragged Selena by the neck, immediately she placed the dagger on Selena's neck and held her steady.

"Don't move or you are going to die" Aurora said with a smirk.

The galloping sounds of horses got closer and soon Aurora was in sight, the neighing sounds of horses filled the area as the guild leader and members came to a stop.

"Take a step towards me and she dies" Aurora shouted.

The man in front of the group jumped down from his horse as he stared at Aurora, his name was Alexander second in command of the Silver eagles.

He knew she was definitely part of the enemy rank or else she would have recognized him, but he didn't recognize the lady she was holding.

"I don't even know the woman you are threatening me with, is she part of Avalon or another of your army" the man spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Master" Rin shouted and jumped from her horse immediately, Rin was the sensory mage for the Silver eagles and third in command.

"You know the lady with her?" Alexander asked.

"She's the head mage of the mage academy in Avalon" Rin replied immediately.

"What!! let her go, or you would suffer the most brutal death in history" Alexander shouted.

"You think your words fear me, attack me and I would make sure I take your head mage with me" Aurora shouted back.

"Rin what are you waiting for, attack her" Selena shouted, immediately Rin dashed towards Aurora.

Aurora couldn't believe Selena would risk her life like that, she had no choice but to slit Selena's throat, Aurora wasn't going to die alone.

Selena fell from Aurora's hands and Rin reached her after that, instead of saving Selena Rin went right at Aurora with a smile on her face.

Before Aurora could cast her spell Rin aimed at her stomach and punched her, Aurora didn't feel the pain of the punch instead she felt something different, something strange.

Aurora looked down and saw Rin's hand in her stomach, Rin retracted her bloody hands and a hole was left in Aurora's stomach, blood began to drip down her mouth and immediately she fell to the ground.

The other mage rushed towards Selena but before they could do anything Rin instructed them to stop.

"Do you want her to die?" Alexander asked.

"Do you think the head of the mage academy and a former master of mine is that powerless" Rin shouted back.

"But she's still bleeding," he said as he turned towards Selena.

Immediately he looked at her, his eyes widened as he saw the blood gushing out from her throat turning black, slowly all her body followed suit till only black liquid was left on the ground.

"What just happened?" he asked.

"She should be around here somewhere, master!!" Rin shouted.

"Right here" Selena muttered.

Rin and Alexander rushed towards the sound of the voice and they saw Selena seated on the ground, her breathing was ragged from all the fighting but her condition wasn't critical.

"I can take care of her, you should go to the city and take care of things, the enemy would definitely be in the city," Rin said to Alex.

"Okay, stay safe," Alexander said as he took all the remaining members of the guild and rushed to the city, leaving Rin's horse behind.

"Master, are you okay?" Rin asked.

"Yes, I'm just tired and waiting for my Mana to replenish a little before I return... Rin it's good to see you again" Selena said.

"Likewise master" Rin replied.

"How long has it been, calling me master is a little strange, I heard you are the third in command of Silver eagles, you should be second in command given your skills," Selena said.

Rin chuckled a little before speaking, "The man that was here just now is second in command, he's also quite skilled"
