Wolf Does Not Forget
"I'm positively sure this plan would work out and it'll surely give you time to escape"
Wolf heard voices at the deep parts of their island's forest. It had been a week since the said Dragon Conquerer had set foot on Bog-Burglars tribe. He head lured the dragons away a day after he arrived. Their chieftess asked him for a few days as sign of gratitude for helping their tribe with dragon problems.
"That's amazing! Now, all we have to do is to make a perfect distraction"
He heard a woman's voice and it was way too familiar who spoke. A day the the stranger had lured the dragons away, the next few hours Camicazi had spent the whole afternoon asking and spending time with the Dragon Conquerer.
Wolf seemed to understand her very much for he loves her, but the time he needed to spend time with her reduced.
"I'm sure you could come out with something"
"Ahem, am I interrupting something important here?"
Wolf couldn't take it much longer, he couldn't contain himself to be jealous with this stranger. How dare he take much of his time with his wife, she should be spending more time with him since they both have limited to be together in their village
"Wolf! You nearly scared me there, how long have you been here?"
"Not long enough" he replied coldly. Camicazi noted his tone.
"Our friend over here has amazing strategies for our fighting stances Wolf, we could give it a shot" Camicazi said.
"Oh joy" he muttered. The stranger, which is the so called Dragon Conquerer could feel the awkwardness between the two couple. To be able to het out of this fight is to excuse himself.
"I better retreat to my camp for now, it's getting late. I'll see you lovely couples tomorrow" he stood up from the rock he was sitting on beside Camicazi. He said good byes to Camicazi, who replied happily, and was giving Wolf a high five. Unfortunately Wolf wasn't pleased to give him so he might as well ignore him. The masked man drop his hands on his sides, not displaying any awkwardness, he walked away.
Camicazi waved back. When the masked man was out if sight Camicazi turned to Wolf giving him the most disappointed look.
"What was that? Wolf!"
Wolf turned to face Camicazi as soon as he heard her shout.
"Oh come on, now's my fault?"
"I specifically have no idea how'd it was my fault" Camicazi replied sarcastically
Wolf tried his best to hide his jealousy, well sometimes we can't control our words because of mixed emotions.
"You and...and that douche of a masked man!"
"And WHAT'S your problem with that?!"
"You're...ugh...damn it! I don't want to talk about it" He looked away.
"If you're gonna say something ridiculous I swear I'll let Thor throw his hammer at you"
"But it's not ridiculous, it's the mere truth! Why the heck are you spending more time with him?"
Wolf asked, he was desperate to know.
"If you have not heard it's a battle strategy"
"But you don't need that!" He shouted "You're good at that already,you don't need help!"
She was taken back, yes she's aware of being a good strategist in battle plan. All her plans may be marvelous but they frequently fail. And to that she needed help, that does not mean she could plan all to herself!
"Wolf would you quit whining and understand for just once. I may be a good strategist but I need more opinions from other people and HE gave me ideas to toughen up our defense and offense. Plus, he had given me tip on how to defeat those Roman scumbags"
"I-I could help you with that" he stuttered as he does not know what he's saying.
"Oh for crying out loud Wolf do you even know what you're saying? You once helped me but it turned out to be a joke"
Which was true because to both of them that made Wolf red. Camicazi continued.
"Cami, are you even sure we could trust this guy? He may look innocent but we don't know if he tries to double cross us. He rarely take off his helmet for Loki's sake! If he says we could trust him then why does he not remove that thing on his head!?"
Wolf and his pride and worries, but she was still stubborn.
"This could strengthen our defense and offense Wolf. He has offored something no one has ever dared to do and I think it's best for our village. We could still defend our home Wolf.....our home"
"Cami, how could THIS be my home with everyone rejecting our bond. We've been through this right? That we would someday run away and-"
"-I said we could run away once this Romans are out of our backs" Camicazi butted in. She has a point, if the Romans would stop interfering with viking business then they could live in peace without worrying with wars and violences. That someday they could both rise a family together.
"Look at me" She let him face her "He's somewhat important to me"
"Yeah right so he's your husband now" he said softly
Camicazi was surprised with his comment, is he really......??? She had no idea Wolf could think this way
"Wolf! Is this what I think it is?"
"Forget it Camicazi, I don't want to think of it"
Wolf started to walk away from Camicazi until he was surprised with a sudden push on the back that laid him face first on the mossy ground. He tried to stand up back on his feet but Camicazi sat on him.
"Let me go Cami!!" but she won't budge, instead......
"Oh my Thor, I can't believe it! You're jelouse!" She laughed, Wolf was either half embarrassed and glad that he heard her laugh but he was full of denial.
"WHAT!? I am certainly not jelouse!"
"Oh yes you are! I could see it through your eyes. Give it up Wolf I know you too well"
He blushed, madly. "But....but"
"Ah-ah Wolf I'm your wife for pete sake of course I know you very much. I know you don't want to admit your weaknesses but you can't hide it from me. We share about ouselves, remember? Besides I'm not mad and you look cute when you're jelouse"
Camicazi giggled, Wolf was relieved. She isn't mad, in fact she's happy, laughing to be exact.
"You're....not mad?"
"What? Of course not, why should I? In fact I'm so into you hiding your jealousy, it's so cute. And that's why I love you Wolf."
Camicazi got down to kiss Wolf's head, she felt him twitch which made her giggle more than usual. Wolf, as if on cue, had finally found his strength back, tried to stand up with Camicazi on his back. They both laughed as Wolf was lost his balance during the process that led them to the ground again. This time Wolf caught Camicazi by the arms.
It was like these rare days that they could be themselves, normally they would have t their moments at late nights. They would cuddle, make each other warm with their body and whisper words of endearment to one another. As if they were married a long time from now.
"Wolf?" Wolf opened one eye to peek down at the girl. No. Women that he had wrapped arounf his arms, all cuddled under it.
"Hmm?"
"I just want you to know, that no matter what happens I would always pick you."
Wolf understood what he said and responded with a nod. He too needed her to know he was sorry earlier. But she won't mind.
After all they are husband and wife. they knew each other very well.
~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~
In an open field near Bog-Burglar's main village.
After the heated argument at the woods, Camicazi forced Wolf to apologize to the masked man. Wolf, of course hated to do such thing that involves his huge pride but Camicazi had threatened him he won't get a have a good night smooch from her.
He spotted the masked man doing small katas with a sword, Wolf watched and observed.
The stranger's moves were smooth and fast. He flexed his arms and legs very well for such a tall man. He then performed a complex move that made Wolf's jaw dropped as those moves was something he liked to learn from this stranger.
The masked man finished, facing his back from wolf he spoke,
"Nice of you to drop by?"
Wolf gave out a soft annoying sound. The stranger replied to it.
"Don't worry, I know you're here to apologize. I won't accept it because I know Camicazi forced you to, but since Cami is a friend of mine and she's your wife then I'd say....ok I forgive you"
Wolf jaw dropped again, this guy got brains.
"You sure do have surprises"
"Well let's say I have my own way"
Wolf smirked and asked "Care to spar then?"
He agreed and gave Wolf a spare sword. At first they were going easy, light blows here to light blows there....until Wolf initiated an all-for-go blows of thrust and swings. The masked man effortlessly dodged his attack. Wolf thought this man had nothing against his technique as he swing there and there more. Little did know that the masked man was draining his energy, little by little Wolf's energy fades.
Then it happened so fast, the technique the masked man had used earlier in his daily exercise was applied on him. He twirled and kneeled to his good knees and placed pressure points on Wolfs left leg. Wolf out balance and got down too as the sword he was holding flew up from his hands and the blade already sticking to his throat.
Wolf was surprises as he raised both his hands as a sign of defeat.
"You're pretty good yourself, although you used up everything on me which is not a good idea"
The masked man then repaired his numbed knee and put Wolf back on his feet. Wolf tried to stretch his leg and he could feel it again, not like seconds ago.
"I hate to say this, nor lose to someone from not around here but you're good too, amazing to be exact. I've never seen anyone perform that fast before."
"If you stick around maybe I could teach you"
"Maybe, you beat me to it so I have to ask for your technique. But no, you just give me a task to fulfiil. to Beat you fair and square"
The masked man laughed at his pride, this guy needs some attitude adjustment. Wolf finds it as an insult but he give in since he too knew that his pride was something he needed to lose for Cami not to get mad at him.
"Camicazi made the right choice for a wife"
Somehow Wolf was enlightened with that.
"At first I thought you were gonna steal her from me"
The masked man laughed harder. "Oh don't worry, she is good but she's taken. I have someone of my own"
He raised a brow
"Really now?"
"I told you I have my own although its complicated, but That'sssssss not important anymore"
They both laughed again. As the two got along very well, the masked man had given Wolf a crossbow that he made as a late wedding gift. He said the crossbow could be useful both for hunting and to defend himself. And since Camicazi had mentioned Wolf is not good at bows and arrows.
"She told me you needed a weapon for long distances to avoid serious injuries and save your skin from enemies , as a gift for being a complete no one to you, I made you a crossbow"
Wolf felt a little shame and jealousy there. Cami had shared a lot from this man when they were not together, like how close were these two? as if they've known one another for a long time. But Wolf has no clue who the hell this guy, he even gave him a crossbow. A good crossbow suited for him.
"I....I don't know what to say"
"Say nothing, I owe you anyway."
Wolf awkwardly looked at him straight, he noticed green emerald eyes behind the helmet. He got distracted when the masked man held put his hand. There they shook and their first sign of friendship.
The masked man then spoke "I'm willing to help your tribe, my assistance is all I coukd give to you guys. If you need any help just blow this whistle"
He gave Wolf a whistle that was made out of a dragon's tooth. He tried to blow it but no sound came.
"Is this broken?"
"Not really, it works don't worry you nearly broke my eardrum though" he said as he nudged his temples with his hands
~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~
Two days later the masked man bid good bye to the Bog-Burglars. Since dragons were not their priority anymore, they spent their time enjoying themselves. A party was thrown and Camicazi's mother had re-opened their hall and let them chunk down all the reserved mead.
It was a perfect day indeed, but for Wolf and Camicazi, things were heating up again.
Camicazi had spent sleepless nights working on her battle strategy along side with her trusted comrade Tough Brenda. Wolf had asked her to relax and have a break, but Cami wouldn't listen she just need to finish her papers Brenda had shoved Wolf out of her room too!
At night fall, night falls were usually the time times they needed time together inside their self made cozy cottage deep beneath the woods. Wolf had sent her a letter via a bow stating that they needed to talk. Cami replied back with a yes. An hour had past and there was no sign of her. Wolf ran out of patients and marched towards the village, suddenly Cami had ran into him with a loud thud.
"Where were you? We were supposed to meet an hour ago"
"I'm really sorry Wolf, plans got in the-"
Wolf cut her off "Plans! PLANS!! It had always been that way these days. You barley let your skin touch the sun and you sleep ahead of me everytime. There are no threats of war just yet, not even a sign. What in Odin's beard are you preparing for?"
Camicazi tried to explain herself, she searched and rethink to what words is the right thing to say. Although, Cami was not sure if she could even tell Wolf about the masked man had warned. But he's her husband and she wouldn't dream of hiding secrets from him. So maybe it's the right time.
"I've been warned, danger is coming"
She hid her face and said and it soflty.
"How?" He asked "Who and when?"
Camicazi is highly aware that Wolf still did not trust the masked man. If she said it he would react negatively, if she refuse to admit he would never stop asking. Oh the prod and cons she had in her hands. Buy she had to tell him, at least warn him for his safety.
"I had frequent visions of dragons and vikings on them, I've seen them burn down our home, people screaming and are defenceless. A few of us survived including you"
She said it sadly, he widened his eyes to what she had said.
"Since when did you had this visions"
"Weeks ago before our visitor arrived"
"WHAT!?"
Camicazi knew this would happen, she knew very well that if she had kept something from Wolf for too long he would go ballistic. And those visions were true, that's why he needed some advise and help from the masked man. For he knew who were this riders she had in her visions.
Although she did not mean to keep it because it was all for the greater good. He wanted him to be safe and that's important to her.
Keep Wolf safe.
She did not speak anymore, because if she did things could get worst. Another heated and endless argument. These days is the worst of all with her relationship with Wolf, if it not had been this warning visions.
"You know what forget it, I'm not interested with this secrets anymore"
Wolf left her, he was expecting her to catch up to him but it did not happen. He turned around to see her walking away too. Wolf tried to sink in Cami's problems. He knew very well Cami could not surpass any threats like that, especially when it's a frequent visions she had.
"So that's why she started to avoid everyone"
He said to himself and finally cursing for not thinking for a moment before talking. She was only doing her right to protect everyone, and he was on her way. Instead of supporting her he had to argue and be insecure.
Dawn has come and he was still walking. He came to a cliff where he could collect his thoughts for the moment. He was thinking how he could help Cami out of this trouble. For once he did not need help but right now he needed back up when this attack arrives, or maybe someone to talk to.
Problems and troubles were always on their tails
Then he remembered the dragon tooth he had in his pocket. He could call him for back up, he could help defeat this scumbags, he could help all of them since he said on the day he had given a crossbow. And maybe after the war he'd ask him if he could bring him and Cami out Bor-Burglar, away from troubles and problem.
It's worth the shot so he blew the whistle. Wolf might not hear it but he knew the masked man will.
~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>
"Someone help us!!" Wolf heard screams everywhere. Houses were burnt, blood had shed around the place. Their vikings had flee to go in a safer place, then there were this vikings that weren't a part of their tribe......Berzerkers.
"Where is he?!" Dagur pointed at a viking wearing an armor.
hem
"I don't know who you're talking about" It was a woman's voice behind that armor.
"Don't play dumb with me girl HE WAS HERE DAYS AGO!!!!!" Dagur fumed.
"Oh I'm sorry you missed him, I'll let him know though once he comes back to kick your ass up" She spat back
Dagur had enough with her games. "You're one annoying brat Camicazi.....well don't worry you'll end up like your mother there. Too bad a pretty girl like you could have be one hell of a chieftess in my armada"
"I'd rather marry a goat than you, leave my village alone!!!!" She shouted back.
"Not until you tell me where that Dragon Conquerer is!!"
Before Dagur could move towards Camicazi, an arrow had slashed a small skin on Dagur's face making it bleed a littlle. Dagur turned around to see Wolf holding the crossbow with another arrow mounted.
"Get away from her" Wolf growled, but Dagur remained.
"Or what? Shoot me in the head to you heart's content? Listen here hero, I would have not attacked this village if that Dragon Conquerer had not landed here. Your so called tough village might have been sparred from my armada if this weak chieftess daughter had told me where he had gone"
Dagur pointed out his sword at Camicazi who stumbled at the ground, helpless and tired. She covered her whole body with armor including her face, the weight of her armor must have drained her quickly. Although Wolf had not seen Camicazi wearing an armor covering her whole body, maybe for safety reasons.
Where is that masked man? He wondered, he knew he blew that whistle loud hours ago before he saw a thick black smoke coming from the village.
"Camicazi!! Run! I'll take care of this bastard"
Camicazi did not hesitate, she helped herself escape while Wolf tried to distract Dagur with his bow.
"Ah-ah Cami you're not going anywhere"
Dagur whistled an there it was. A huge Typhoomerang covored with dark armor was above them. Wolf thought the dragon was about to attack, to their surprise there were Speed Stingers coming form the Typhoomerang's wings. They glided down and started chasing Cami and a few villagers. The Stinger's could freeze her since her whole body was covered with armor, except that her had was on the open and vulnurable. Cami was driving them away with her sword. With her banging them away, A stinger was lucky enough to plunge their tails on her. Instantly the running froze to the ground.
"NOOOO!!!"
Wolf ran to her but Dagur knocked him hard on the head making him fall and bleed.
"And now for the finale"
Dagur then summoned upon a Timberjack, he threw something at it and the dragon landed in front of him. He mounted on the dragon and whipped it good to let them fly up.
"Any last words tough girl......oh right you can't speak" maniacally he laughed before the Timberjack poured hi fire on Camicazi.
"CAMICAAAZZZIIII,!"
To his horror, Wolf watched the lady in an armor gettting poured with Oil like fire and slowly been burnt while she was frozen.
"That's what you get for standing on my way HAHAHA Berzerker's MOVE OUT"
And that the Berzerkers flew away leaving Wolf crawling as fast as he could to Cami.
The remaining survivors watched him crawl while some where shocked to see the chief's daughter burning.
Finally Wolf reached her and did not care the fire burning in his hands
"COULD SOMEONE GET WATER PLEAS!"
No one moved nor spoke for they were stunned to look.
"GOD DAMN IT IS SOMEONE LISTENING TO ME!!"
Still nothing happened and the pain of heat had affected his ring finger. To his surprise a young lad had two buckets of water with him. The lad quickly poured them the water and the fire extinghuished. Wolf looked up to the lad quizzically before he stood up and slapped his face.
"YOU'RE TOO LATE!"
Too late indeed, but not the lad, it was him. His face was covered with anger and sadness. He had poured his anger to an innocent boy who had just offered his help to save Cami. And he did not mean to.
Everyone starred at him with frightened face even the boy he had slapped was terrified too.
This is his fault, if he had not walked away from the village far enough then Cami coukd not be dead.
Cami. Dead.
He turned back at the lady he loved, know her face no longer there when it was covered with ash. That angelic and wise face he adored would no longer be seen by his eyes. His hands that could lift his waist high on the meadows they used to play with. Those lips he could kiss all day now gone because of this.
Wolf kneeled and cried out loud. Cami is gone, Thor why does this have to happen?
His dreams, his dreams with her had vanished like thin air and not even a single souk around him had cared to help.
And it was all his fault, not entirely though. Berzerkers would not be here if the Dragon Conquerer had not come.
Wait....there was no Dragon Conquerer that had set foot on this island...unless.....
"He set us up" he said to himslef. He figured it out. The stranger, wearing a masked lime helmet, lures dragons away, gained a few enemies. Definitely the stranger was the Dragon Conquer Duagur was looking for.
Like what Dagur said, he would not dare touch this village unless the Dragon Conquerer had set foot and Cami did was to protect this guy.
"You bastard, you'll gonna pay for this"
He vowed to Cami's soul, his love, his only one. Even though this guy had aided them he did not came to help them when they most needed him.
And so it begins...
Hunt down that Dragon Conquerer
~~<>~~<>~~<>~~<>~~
