《Two Brothers》14: Demonic Rooster of Doom
Advertisement
"We have been studying the effects of the Werewolf Disease for close to two decades now. It is clear that the bite of a Werewolf will cause the disease to infect the Human bitten if he survives long enough to see another full moon.
Whether its magic or some other cause this is true regardless of what we tried, once you are bitten there is no cure.
Surprisingly enough no other animal or Beast suffers from this disease, from chickens to a rare Minotaur that the Society of Medicine and Research provided for us not a single one of them has shown to inherit the Werewolf strain. Only humanoids such as Humans, Elves, Orc variants... can get infected. Intelligent Bipedal being are cursed in this way."
- Notes from Dr.Velgfast, Honorary member of The Society of Medicine and Research from Letterport
Aedith and Ghelen have been running though the forest for an unknown amount of time. they where both crying, the younger boy more than his older sister who managed to get herself together even after what they saw at their village.
it was dark in the thick forest, even with their Dark vision, the boy's foot got locked under some tree roots and he tripped, diving face down in to the forest floor, his sister keep running only to turn around and look at Aedith who was not getting up, laying still crying on the floor.
"Hghene Ulufier!" [get up!] she shouted in old Elvish
"Ourute Mudilane Telumine Un Tun Ghenim Tun Theem Merimadone!" [Our mother told us to get to the mermaid territory!] she said said while picking his brother by the shoulders who still had limp legs as she dragged him long the way while he cried
"Hghene Ulufier Aedith!" [Get up Aedith!] she said while shaking him to make him come back to his senses. but he passively refused. tired she let him have his way and dropped him on the floor while sitting under a tree.
he cried for a few minutes until he realized what what going on.
"Whul Huegen?" [what happened] he asked while sniffing his nose. he was still in shock from what they experienced before. he did not remembered the raid on the village, how their mother shoved them to the back door and told them to run and ask asylum with the mermaid tribe that lived in the Giant Lake two days down the river that feed the lake, the river was neutral territory.
"Whenfur Nefure Tun Guttik Mugere" [we need to get moving] said Ghelen before helping her brother up and dragging him deeper down the forest towards the river when they got interrupted by some rumbling in the forest around them
"shhh" [shhh] Ghelen said while putting her index finger on her lips signaling her brother to be quiet. they ducked down and hide in a crack between the log and the floor from a near by fellen down tree.
When jack returned to the river edge his brother was practicing archery or so it seemed, he had his bow in his hands and was shooting wooden tipped arrows to a small tree stump they cut down a few days back. it was a little bit thinner than a human torso, making it perfect for practice.
Jack suspected that his brother had learned some fire magic since the tree stump was now on fire.
"Hey there" said Brandon while putting the bow down.
Brandon's face expression went to confusion and then he shrugged "your eyes are emerald green, also they are glowing..." Jack took out his phone and tried to use the light of the sun to watch himself in the black mirror that his phone screen was now. the phone lost his battery long time ago, but if he did not carried it in his pocket he had this feeling like he had forgotten or lost something so he just carried it with him Anyways

"yea... i got a new title, also unlocked the well of power and some other shit" Jack brushed off his eye color change. they already knew this things where possible thanks to Bosco so it did not startle them much. "what about you?" asked jack while watching the tree stump on fire
"check this out" said Brandon with a smile before knocking an arrow, taking a few seconds to whisper something in a very low voice, the words where carried by the air with a golden orange color before they lodged to the wooden arrow, a pattern of golden glowing watermarks surrounded the shaft of the arrow and Brandon released the shot.
It lodged in the tree trunk and immediately a fire stream emerged from where the tip touched the wood, it reminded Jack of a blow torch. the fire stream finished after around 10 seconds and the arrow was fully covered in fire by that time.
"nice" Jack muttered while acknowledging with his head.
"even though it looks like the fire is being projected to the outside its the opposite way, this is just the ricochet of the flames against the wood, imagine what kind of damage it would do to a living creature" Said Brandon with anticipation glowing inside his eyes to test his new magic skill on some monster
"now check this out" Brandon raised his free hand and casted Flamethrower towards the tree stump, a thin but long and twisted fire stream projected from his palm engulfing the tree stump in fire. he kept the spell for good 15 seconds before stopping the cast.
"cool right?" Jack noted that Brandon was overjoyed while showing his abilities.
"only down side to your projectile skill is that we lose an arrow each time its casted. besides that i think it will do huge damage to anything it hits" Jack said while sitting down on some rick that worked as a makeshift chair.
"I know we had plans to go hunting monsters today, but this whole ordeal took too much time. we will try tomorrow. for now lets just eat and rest, its the safe..." Jack's attention shifted to Bosco, who was now on his feet with his fur erected as a porcupine, he was gowning towards the wooded area across the river.
"lets go" Said jack while picking up his spear and shield and walking towards the rocks near the small waterfall close to their camp, intending to cross to the other riverside.
Brandon grabbed his quiver and followed him after adjusting his wooden facemask/helmet, Bosco lead the way with a light trot towards where the danger was.
Ghelen pushed Aedith back deeper down inside the hole they where hiding. the Cockatrice was tearing the rotten wood with it's claws, it was only a matter of time before they where snatched by the hocked fangs and eaten. Aedith pulled his sister's shirt and whispered something to her but she only caught a glimpse of what he meant between the loud scratches of the Cockatrice tearing up the tree truck, something related to an exit, Ghelen turned around and saw that her brother had digged out a small opening between the tree and the soft forest earth. they both crawled out and kept pressed against the floor to not be seen by the beast.
they reached some underbrush and kept prone for a while before crouching up and leaving silently but walking fast towards the river bank. They heard a Screech and realized that the cockatrice figured out that they had escaped, the crouch transformed in to a sprint and they dashed deeper inside the woods.

They could hear a hard rumbling behind them, getting closer. the Cockatrice was well fed. A quadrupedal chicken/horse mix, with wings strong and long enough to hit you even 5 yards away and break the bones of grown up man. covered in feathers and with a sharp beak it followed the scent of the two kids before it caught up.
Ghelen looked back and saw the monster gaining on her and her bother. She regretted looking back when she tripped on something and fell down to the ground with a thud, she rolled on the floor and looked at her closing on doom.
Aedith turned around and screamed something she could not hear, all her senses focused on the monster's beak, getting closer and closer. She covered her face with her arms and waited for the inevitable impact and pain she was about to suffer eaten alive.
And she waited. and waited, seconds flew by seeming longer than usual thanks to the adrenaline pumping through her veins the impact never came. Ghelen opened a small gap between her fore arms and looked in front of her. She saw a male Humanoid standing in front of her, he was covered in wood and it looked alive, covering himself and her with a shield made of a single carved pice of tree trunk, he trusted with his spear over him while shouting something in common tongue before bashing the head of the beast to the side with the shield.
She could see the cockatrice now. it had lost its wings, both of them ripped out from their shoulder blades. a Black beast that reminded her of what Worgs where described as was holding them. it had stab wounds all around its front from the spear trusts, the blood flowing down tainted the white feathers of the Cockatrice crimson. It screeched before raising on its back feet, preparing to bash the Woodenman in front of Ghelen. the cockatrice dived down, with a half step the Woodenman stepped back and parried the beak of the bast barely dodging the tallows in its feet. the stone spear shaft bent with each passing second but the man refused to give up, the beak getting closer he shouted again, before an arrow struck its side around the chest. a flame stream emerged from the wound immediately and the beast twisted on It's feet, the Wooden man was tackled by some other person and pushed out of the way, both of them falling down to the ground. The cockatrice vomited cauterized blood and pieces of flesh while being dragged back by the Worg like beast that had gotten hold from its back legs. before you could blink a stream of fire emerged from its mouth before both the beast and the fire started to die down. she realized that the arrow shaft was now covered in flame and the side of the beast was burning down because of the feathers that caught fire from where the arrow impacted. that was the last she remembered before she passed out.
Jack was face down on the Forest floor. he turned around swiftly to find Brandon around his waist height.
"hey man you ok?" Jack asked while shaking his Brother, who was unresponsive. he turned his head and confirmed that the demonic rooster of doom was dead, He saw Bosco struggling while severing the Beasts head, he exhaled loudly.
Brandon was still unresponsive. Jack examined his brother to find out where the beast had hurt him. The lower back of his brother had a gaze, not longer than a pencil, and very shallow, yet the flesh around it was starting to harden, taking on a grayish color.
Brandon coughed and groaned when he was spinned around on his back.
"your spear will not break, and the beast will not kill the kids, i will be the one turning to stone." he coughed a few times before breathing heavily.
"so you do remember about your dreams" Jack said with a sorrowful smile on his face, his brother's head on his lap.
"i did not wanted to startle you, that is why i pretended to not remember" said Brandon before spitting some blood to the side. "take the kids and go, i don't think i can make it"
Jack clenched his his jaw until he felt the flavor of blood that was now emanating from his gums.
"Don't worry, I will fix this" Jack left his brothers side and went towards the Elf girl who the other kid was trying to wake up.
The Kid recoiled as Jack approached only to shield the female with his body immediately after.
"Ime wenn nate leia yume huneng hir!"[I will not let you hurt her!] the Boy screamed in Old Elvish before throwing punches to Jacks waist witch he ignored as they bounced away without hurting.
"My brother is turning to stone, do you know if there is a cure?" Jack stared down a the kid as he spoke in a slow and serious manner, the kid looked up with red eyes and then spoke
"Elder in village know healing magic, he can help" Jack recognized that broken common tongue. it was similar to the one used by the Goblin a few weeks back.
"To the village we go then" Jack turned and picked up his brother in a fireman carry.
Bosco trotted towards the the small girl and licked her face, she woke up and screamed for a few seconds trying to crawl away fro him, but before she could do so she started laughing from the ticking made by this tongue.
Jack turned and faced the girl from the distance
"witch way is your village?" his now emerald glowing eyes stared at the girl. sheer focus on his mind and clear purpose, even though deep down he was scared.
