506 [Bonus chapter]Change Of Plans, Thane
The animal-hunter team-ups proved to be more problematic than they should have been. Because at times like this, the fight quickly became impossible to win.
An eagle… a bear… an elephant… pigeons… foxes… wolves… soldier ants… There was no limit to what could attack him.
Memories of different times when he was defeated. Sometimes by a terrifying creature like a bear and other times by something as small and insignificant as a rat.
One rat was fine… but a swarm of them was something else…
At some point, he was bitten by a swarm of bees as he stalked a human couple in the woods.
Another time, he found himself having to dive into a river just to avoid being attacked by a swarm of locusts. And after escaping into the safety of the rushing water, the wolf he’d inhabited was incapacitated by a school of ‘fish’.
It wasn’t just the carnivores that were acting out of sorts or even the insects.
It was every living creature that wasn’t human—with the exception of the few hunters that popped up here and there.
For as long as the creature had life… it was against the Rogue king.
.....
Granted he always had a bit of freedom running around and seeking new victims but his time was always limited. As soon as the creatures of the wild caught wind of his presence, it would be a futile battle with the infinite force of nature working to put a stop to him.
It was frustrating.
Despite how strong or compatible the body he inhabited was with his immense power, there was simply no way of escaping the countless enemies in the wild that were out to get to him.
The conclusion was all too simple to come to.
After a mental communication with Alpha Aidan, they confirmed the wielder of the bizarre power to control the wild. The scope of this power, it seemed, had become as endless as the king’s spiritual journeys into the bodies of his subjects.
Thane snapped out of his memories and asked his king, figuring it was the same reason the king was angry, “What did she do this time?”
“At first, it was an eagle… a mad suicidal one. Then a flock of… BIRDS,” Rana rubbed his temples, spitting the word ‘birds’ like it left a bad taste in his mouth.
A draft of wind tickled the king’s ear, triggering a reflex. The king quickly wiped his hand over his ears and all over his shoulders, shuddering at the sensation of numerous beaks and talons all over his body, “BIRDS, EVERYWHERE!!!” he screamed in exasperation.
“What kind of birds?” Thane asked.
“Does it matter? They were so many colours. Seemed like there was no order to the way they attacked. Species don’t really matter when it comes to her. They just do what she bloody says… like a bunch of puppets,” the king argued.
Thane remained silent for a bit before talking, “Feels like her absence is more troublesome than her presence.”
Rana chuckled, “I want to believe that… but I’m still in the land of mortals. There is no telling if she will be capable of doing this when she returns.
Weakened as I left her, she probably pushed herself to find another way to protect her people… Just like I forced myself to learn how to leap from one body to another.”
“Have you perfected this ability, my Lord?” Thane asked.
“You’re more inquisitive than you usual, Thane,” the king raised a brow at his beta alpha.
“Forgive me, sir. I’m growing… bored from all the inaction. Apologies for depending on you for some form of entertainment,” while Rana found Thane’s words disrespectful, they were true to a fault.
It’s not like he was capable of lying. The beta alpha had been trapped here with him for the lion’s share of two years and it was eating at him, “Very well! I’ll need some time to recover before I can body-jump again anyway. Any questions you have for me?”
Thane’s eyes widened in shock. He had a ton of them… so many questions that he’d held back for fear of disrespecting his king.
“Well, I don’t where to start… I’m not hungry. And I’m pretty sure I should be dead right now,” Thane chuckled.
Rana laughed at the question, “Look around you, Thane. What do you see?”
“Endless blue…”
“Exactly, moon lotuses. The marker of the goddess’s divine presence on earth. Every time the goddess walks on the earth, her power seeps into the ground and it’s manifested as moon lotuses. I’ve said this plenty of times.
It was once my theory that her divine power escapes back to the moon through the petals of these flowers. They only die when that power runs out.”
“How does that relate to me being alive?”
“Well, think about it. Place a werewolf in the power of the patron goddess of werewolves and they can live for eternity,” Rana explained, “How long have you been alive, Thane?”
Thane stared at the lotus-covered ground for a while, trying to discern the start of his memories, “I…”
“You can’t remember… because you’ve been alive for more than a century. To protect your mind and preserve your sanity, you forget everything irrelevant… like your age. It’s only natural,” the king explained with a shrug.
“But… that’s not possible,” Thane gasped.
“You’re still alive without food, aren’t you? Everything’s possible with a touch of divinity,” Rana explained, “I know it’s a lot to take in but I’ve used the same power to keep you and Aidan alive all this time. We’ve trained many rogues over the years in search of some powerful enough to live as long as we have. And we’ve only just found them.”
“The generals, huh! So that’s their gift for the potential they’ve shown you. What are they up to, by the way?”
Rana smirked, “Rest assured, Thane. They are busy. The only one I haven’t been able to get my mind on is, Amanda. After rescuing Aidan, she went completely docile.”
“You think she was captured?”
“Aidan said she was along with our royal puppet. I’m surprised they were able to contain her. Maybe she was unlucky to be caught by one of the Mighty Warriors… but no matter. We’ll get her back once we’re done levelling this world. And with the new era that we shall usher-”
The Roge King suddenly went silent, his eyes opening wide in an expression that was similar to disbelief… with a touch of fear.
A cold breeze blew through the Origin, a shimmer of blue rippling through the flower-covered ground. It seemed the Origin itself resonated with the energy of something that was not of this world.
Something wasn’t right…
“What is it, my lord?” Thane asked hurriedly.
The air in the Origin suddenly picked up and howled with the trees that surrounded them. An eerie feeling took over the atmosphere bringing with it a crushing sense of overwhelming power.
This power, however, was familiar. Thane had been in the presence of this pressure years before.
It almost felt like he was in the presence of his death, “Change of plans, Thane. I believe we won’t be here much longer, Thane. She simply won’t let that happen.”
“Who won’t let that happen?”
The Rogue King sighed, balling his fists that had started to tremble, “The Rogue Killer.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
