3165 Not Hell (Part 1)

"You can smell what in me?" The Void asked.

"That you are one of us. Or rather, you were." The Ry replied. "I wouldn't have dared come close to an Abomination if not for your smell. You have yet to become a monster, brother. You are better than this. Fight it!"

"Easy for you to say." Derek snarled, the word "brother" hurt him more than his hunger. "I'm the one suffering. You are asking me to give up on my meal, on my prey for nothing but your sake. Give me one good reason."

"I'll do better. I'll give you a tasty one." The Ry nodded to his pack and the wolves stepped back. "Let the buffalos go and you can eat me. I'm stronger than any animal. I'm a magical beast. You can feed on both my mana and life force."

The Void instinctively knew that the red-furred wolf was right. If the strongest buffalo was a torch, the Ry shone like a raging fire to his senses. Even the whole herd was nothing compared to a single magical beast.

"If you really have magic, why don't you fight me?" Derek didn't release his prey but he stopped feeding upon them.

"To what end?" The magical beast shook his head. "My pack would die. I would die. The herd would be massacred during our fight. I would lose everything and you'd miss the best part of your meal. Neither of us would get what he wants.

"Violence isn't the only way to achieve victory. That's why I've come here with an offer. Take me and promise to leave these lands. This way, the herd will survive and so will my pack."

"What about you?" The Void felt a pit in his stomach that almost made him forget about his hunger.

Almost.

"I can afford to die. I already had cubs. My legacy will live on with them and my pack will have a leader better than me. I trust my children."?The Ry's words sent a violent pang through the Abomination's body.

He could hear a baby girl cry, he could feel her conscience calling upon him.

"Elysia." He muttered as he suddenly knew the direction one of the missing pieces of his soul was.

At the same time, at the Verhen Mansion, the baby girl was actually crying, flaying her small limbs in her father's direction.

"Dya! Dya!" Elysia shapeshifted into her Tiamat form, hoping that the resonance would help Lith find him but she felt no answer.

Valeron shapeshifted as well, using the Dragon scales to understand what was happening and adding his call to her own. He shared no blood with Lith but he could make Elysia's voice louder.

"Valeron." The black tendrils disappeared and the buffaloes were free to escape.

Free, but too weak to stand up. Only a few stumbled away, the rest just wheezed while lying down on the ground. Their hearts drummed in their chests and their legs failed them as if they had just collapsed after running for their lives.

"Thank you, brother." The Ry used air magic to splash the drained buffalos with water from the nearby river, waking up the ones who had fainted and giving the rest something to drink.

All those who had suffered the touch of the Abomination were as gaunt and thin as after weeks of malnourishment. Even with the predator still among them, the buffalos drank and ate avidly, knowing that their lives were hanging by a thread.

The wolves herded the buffalos and guided them away from the Abomination while the Ry stood still.

Derek was wheezing as well, but not out of fatigue. The headache was back, worse than ever. He felt like he was forgetting about something important. A duty above any hunger or pain.
