Chapter 103: Into The Woods

Chapter 103: Into The Woods

William’s body warped into a silver light, and his Fox came forth with a growl, emerging about ten feet of height, white fur glittering under the moonlight, his one tail swapping back and forth behind. Crystal green eyes gleamed brightly and the crescent moonlight tattoo against his forehead was prominent.

With a deep worldly growl that shock the very earth he dash into the woods at the speed of light, passing like a white blur, and at the same time trying to pick up Ava’s scent, but it was hard, there was no single trace of it, like the very forest swallowed her whole.

That only intensified his desperate attempts to find her, he subconsciously played the scene of the pixies eating her up, who knew what other creatures would do to her when they find her out? That alone increased his outrage and anxiety, and deep growls leaked off him and his vitality got faster, not minding the cuts his speed caused in the area or the damage.

The magical creatures all went in hiding seeing the fox guardian roam around like a blur of white light, his mere presence enough to shock them into hiding in their homes, his cold aura covering the entire area, to the point, snow was descending, an odd weather for them, one they were not ready for.

The fox guardian does come out at night in his form and roam around, but this was different, this was not a friendly run but it seemed like he was in search of something, one he would bring the entire forest down to find, the damage was only the beginning.

After what seemed like a long time, William came to a halt, his eyes scanning every path... he was yet to find her and he was panicking, his blood was raging and his head was loud with wrath.

Where is she?

Where did she go?

Why did she leave like that?

Why did she leave him?

WHY?!

He roared into the night not minding the vibrations it caused, the unrest it caused to inhabitants of the forest, one Basker strictly told him not to meddle with. But it was too late, all sense of reasoning was lost, not when they had taken something from him, he didn’t mind going berserk, he didn’t mind destroying everything in his path just to find her. He will not know rest until he does, he does not mind questioning every single creature he finds until they tell him what he needs to know.

If only he could catch a whiff of her scent.

He paused suddenly as a culmination got to him, her ring! His hair, he could trace it, it’s a part of him that was with her. How come he didn’t think of this earlier? He was so driven by rage and pain that he couldn’t think straight. It was time to push it aside and think right, he shouldn’t let his chaotic thoughts get to him, now was not the time to be drowned in rage.

Now was the time to find his Wife.

And so he focused, searching for a part of him that lay with her, and then he sensed it, it was faint but it was enough, no time was given and he was already hot on his trail, a new trail he knew would lead to her.

Please be safe

It wasn’t anger for leaving him anymore, it was panic and a silent prayer that nothing had happened to her, these creatures here will not spare her when they get a glimpse, she was something far more special than a fairy and too good for this world, too good for him too.

His Ava

He made his move to a clearing, spotting a river dividing the path but with a single jump, he was able to eliminate the obstacles that lay before him. The farther he went the more he realized he hadn’t exactly been to this spot before, he hadn’t explored this place and it was foreign, there were bigger trees.

The entirety of this forest was known as the Elven Woods, a part of this dimension that came along with the library, as old as the Holy Library, a place Basker told him not to tamper with, but the deed has already been done when he obliterated the Pixies and erasing them out of knowledge, what he only did was killed the pixies who devoured Ava but the consequences led to them being erased. But William didn’t care and didn’t think much of it, all he knew was he destroyed those who caused her harm and he would gladly do it again.

William came to a stop when his crystal green eyes scanned the new area he was in, a place so alien and the waterfalls around exhaustive and mystical, with a tree sitting on top of one of the rocks at the center in between the divide of the waterfall, the same tree the connection of his hair was coming from.

Ava!

Without wasting any more time he climbed on the rocks up to where the tree lay solely, not minding as his fur got wet by the water spilling. With a single jump, he was up to the place the tree stood, his paws touching the grass. His eyes scanned the height. If he was exploring right now... this would have been a sight to behold but no... this was far from it. He was close; he could feel it.

Rushing further he suddenly came to a stop when his eyes landed on something that was enough to freeze every fiber of his bone. Suddenly what took over him was outrage, pristine turmoil that caused a thunderous growl to almost rip out of him, his eyes turning void and his fur getting a darker shade instead of white, the other part of him taking over and tainting his fox side.

The first that this has happened

But he doesn’t care.

His bloodlust stretched and all he cared about was the arms around a sleeping Ava, arms he wanted so badly to rip off.

He was on the verge of exploding but a finger pressing on the lips of the mysterious creature, which seemed to be a man, stopped his actions.

He was shushing him? He has the nerve?

"Careful fox guardian, you do not want to wake her from her slumber," he said in an angelic voice, and when the moonlight cleared out of the dark cloud and shone under them.

William stilled when he got a better look at the man holding his mate.
