The day was cold, as a blanket of snow covered the hill filled land. Two mountains far away could be seen, their varying shades of gray only to be met by a high contrasting white snow. The land was covered in trees, as high as two story buildings. A short, young woman by the name of Grace, walked through the snow Animals from all over the region follow her, and the grass grew higher than the snow with every footstep behind her. She gave a small hymn as she walked with her large white cloak. Strands of her curly brown hair seemed to find its way out of the hood. To her right was an abnormally large white wolf, with a small wolf cub on top.
They seemed to be wondering aimlessly throughout the forest, giving no rush to their destination. It seemed almost as if they were waiting for someone. Her hymn broke and the large wolf, Bear, made a whimper noise as it backed from her. Within their wondering she seemed to have found a line of trees that were destroyed entirely. A spark could be seen in her eyes as a mix of anger and urgency took over.
Bear barked and followed with the cub still on top, sleeping peacefully. The small bandana with a wolf and moon insignia covered the cub almost like a blanket and also a seatbelt while riding Bear. Grace give a quick pitched yelp and Bear knew to run aside her as she swiftly and gracefully mounted him. Bear's speed nearly tripled once she was on top to hold the cub within place. The path of wreckage was wide and very long, but as Bear and Grace traveled odd green strands of magic followed, healing the forest back to as it once was. She was nicknamed and known as Mother Nature, and for good reason. Her Woodland Sprite magic was an ancient art, sadly lost. Grace kept an eye out for whatever was causing this as she was moving.
She thought it would some astray giant or possessed golem pack. She was getting surprisingly close to the Guild's mountain until finally she noticed the cause of all this useless destruction upon the forest. It was a pack of golems. Their bodies were made of varying rocks and minerals. The lower ranking ones made mostly of hardened mud clumps and rock, while others were stone and partial bits of steel were seen. The leader was made of pure steel. Shards of their respective mineral staggered throughout their body as their heads seemed almost offset from the rest of their body. Their heads seemed to almost be within more their torso rather than on top of their body. They had a single large human looking eye that held a brown tint glazed over it. They walked awkwardly, having to waddle almost to walk because of their massive guts and arms. A small green glow followed their leader's eye.
Grace did her best but could not sense or see any signs of a possession; however she did not lose faith to help them. She had never found any creature that was part of this earth that she could not purify, and if the magic held true to its legend there never would be. Grace's hood flew back as she slid off Bear and into a battle ready stance. She threw her left hand up, while keeping her elbow bent, slowly grasping her hand within the action; just as the golems had reached the mountain and about to make a bashing motion, giant roots emerged from the ground. The roots wrapped around all the giants and restricted any possible movement. Surprised by this sudden action, the golem's eyes frantically try to catch a glimpse of their restrictor.
Grace begins to chant as she brings her hands together into a prayer. A green circle appears from under the snow and then starts to float a foot above the ground. The circle begins to turn slowly as the script from her words becomes materialized within her magic. The golems fear for the worst and begin to scream and beg for mercy. Ignoring everything but the prayer, Grace finished her blessing with a simple, "Amen." as a giant beam of green light emerges from within the circle.
The roots that once held the golems disappear into green pollen as they true to grasp the situation in full. Surprised at their lives have not ended. "There, you're better now." Says Grace as she does a twirl and starts to walk away. Happy with herself she starts her hymn again and closes her eyes once more. Upon the third step she hears a loud crash into the mountain. The abrupt noise interrupted literally everything that she was doing; having been stopped and now immovable like a stone statue. She turns, keeping her eyes wide in disbelief, unsure of what was happening behind her as a second crash is heard.
The golems started bashing within the mountain, and as she takes her full turn back towards these golems their leader starts to speak. "I don't know who you are, but thank you. You have blessed us with some sort of magic that has nearly tripled our strength! Now we can beat this dumb Wolf Pack guild in no time flat!" he turns towards the mountain, as if speaking to them, "YA HEAR THAT?! YOU BUNCHA PUSSIES ARE GONNA GET IT!" Grace gave a small twitch. She could not believe golems would not only harm the forest, try to break down into a mountain, and then not be possessed within the first place. Not to mention she had just helped them to destroy nature's wonders and try to endanger her precious family. Bear lets out a loud bark that the golems turn to see the commotion.
Green energy seemed to pure from Grace's body and ascend. A steady stream of dark green magical power surrounds her. The energy creates a dark emerald thorn crown above her as thorns, branches, and roots surrounds and creates wooden armor. Her voice held the fury of all forest animals, as three giant trees instantly grew behind her. "DON'T EVEN THINK OF HARMING MY CUBS!" Grace screams as she nearly throws an open palm. The she force of her movement startled the golems. The three trees grew over her head and conjoined into a wolf's head. The wolf made a loud bark that almost seemed like a sonic boom. The giant wolf head, moving an unbelievable speed, bites all of the golems at once.
Grace eye no longer glow green from the motherly rage she held. Force from the impact seemed to even shake the mountain. The crater from the impact sure gave evidence to so. She seemed a little winded by exerting as much magical power as she did after her last job; considering she hasn't slept within two days. With a quick hard sigh of relief for the safety of her family. The Cub now awake on Bear's back both come to greet their mother and comfort her on her job well done as they both come and nuzzle their heads under her arms and into her ribs. She smiles and hugs them back. The wooden wolf head splits as the steel golem bashes his way out from the wooden trap.
Laughing, the golem starts to gloat over the metal shell being useful against wood. Caught by surprise, Grace attempts to push away bear and get the cub to safety as the golem's arm transforms into a large disc. The golem throws their arm up as the disc digs into the ground, spinning and rolling towards Grace.
A root shield starts to form until at the last moment both the disc and the golem are drenched within flame. A person falls from the sky, nearly unseen by Grace, quickly dashes towards the disc, with as it splits into two forms some sort of blade. The flames now turned into glass. Grace eye follow the top chunk of the disc fall to the ground, and by the time she turns to look back at the golem, it was already in small pieces. It was a small pile of glass. Another figure drops next to the first one, it was Fang and Brady. "Don't even think of harming our ma." says Fang as he helps her up while Brady sets the cub back onto Bear's back. Toma appears, curious at the current commotion and happy to find that three of his cubs had returned.
