My Last Hunt

Class Test 25

Trifire 

Felon did its best to heal the broken bones. It took full day though. The healing consumed the strength. Felon got hungry. There was nothing other than lava craters. Its pace was slow because of the chains. Feet were almost dragging on the ground. Trifire were nowhere. Felon walked in the same direction. 

Trifire beasts were tired with the full day search to address their hunger. Every day was challenge for them. Felon was also hungry however the first priority was to get rid the chains. It was different from all those thrown in this imprisonment. 

They might have tried ones or twice then get disappointed however Felon was different. It was betrayed by the Lord Beast. Felon could not rest until face the Lord Beast again and settle the grudge. 

The hatred was brewing within. It was killing and hate-able more than the circumstances. First Trifire returned. Its black lips were tainted with the mud. The red eyes were picturing the recent struggle. "Where you were?" Felon asked. 

"We were searching food and finally got some." The screeching weak voice answered. "Bring me there, I am also hungry." Felon casually asked. It did not want to face the utmost weakness just like these three beasts. 

"I am afraid it would not be of your liking respectable council member." Trifire spoke one word at a time. Compared to their six feet weak statures Felon was nine feet quite in good condition. The difference was huge. They were forced to gulp the mud in hope of small creatures wading within however Felon might feel disgust to see this. 

Felon heard and turned speechless. It was unable to control the anger. These three beasts were thrown in the imprisonment without crime. Felon somehow took the blame of their present condition. 

"Where are other two? Bring them here." Felon ordered. It was evening yet the lava spilling from various craters added some light in the surrounding. The red lava was quite contrast with the pitch black evening. 

Felon thought to break their chains. The criminals were chained according to their levels. Its body was quite in good physical condition, it could break level seven chains with ease. Felon felt extremely disappointed to know that beast were saving their lives by taking in the mud in hope of some hidden food. 

The Trifire reached. They were looking miserable more than ever. The consumed food was born with the characteristics of lava surrounding. It was meant to react on their body as well. Their bones were fire red and their eyes were showering lava. 

"Come near so that I could break the chain." Felon asked. They were worried because the level eight beast was hungry. It could attack them and kill for hunger. "I am from the Iero Race, we do not eat other races no matter if the life is in danger." Felon explained. 

It could relate their concerns. First Trifire stepped ahead. The chain around the neck was bigger. By breaking it, the other locks would open up eventually. Felon was very well learned with the chain because he was once the assistant beast of the Lord Zim. 

First Trifire stood near and Felon stabbed its teeth in the chain. The others two were sure that the teeth would pierce the neck however it was fine. First Trifire was alive still. Felon used its teeth like hammer for breaking the neck chain. It took some time fortunately the chain broke in the end. 

As soon as the chain broke the first Trifire fell in its feet, "I will abide by your orders from now on." It eagerly accepted Felon as master. Felon nodded. "I will take some rest and then break the second chain." Felon spoke and sat on the ground away from the craters. The red lights were dancing with the spilling of the lava. It reflected on elegant cover cloth. 

The first Trifire worked to break the chains from feet. The weakened chains broke after much struggle. The other two Trifire were waiting for their turn. They also sat on some distance. 

The first Trifire felt ease after many years, the chains were constantly killing yet slowly. The slow death in itself was cruel some than the torture of imprisonment. Now it was free to use wings however the present fallen state could barely support breathing. 

Felon was thinking to set them free early in return of their life saving favor. It wanted to cross the Trifire island before the body condition fall to their level. There was no other means to leave this island. The wings were the last hope. 

Three bones from the left feather were broken; Felon was waiting to complete the healing. The half healing might cause trouble during flight in the middle of the lava. 

After resting a bit, Felon called second Trifire. When it was using teeth to break the chains, Felon felt the difference and the changes. Their body perhaps evolved due to lava living. Their bodies were giving the signs of fire races. Those races lived in the Frost Fire Continent. 

They were stronger with the guts to go against the Hightown. Normal beasts use their stones as attack and defense while Fire Races used their inborn characteristics that evolved for the living in the special circumstances of the Frost Fire Continent. There they never face the changes of the season. Half part face fire whole year while the other half of the continent face frost. The beasts evolved with their needs. 

For North Sepedra it was something new. No one ever heard that beasts thrown in the imprisonment survived single year yet these Trifire were able to survive for five years. The chain broke with some efforts. The second Trifire also fell in its feet and accepted Felon as master. 

Felon was satisfied to see this. At least when it will appear in front of the Lord Beast, it would not be alone. As for their weak condition was concerned, beasts only needed two days with the blunt resources to recuperate fallen state.
