A/N: Hello everyone, well the good news is I passed all my exams mostly with awesome grades thank to all the studying I had but the bad news is I completely lost my way with words in this story. Honestly for once, I wanted to get a 100% in English so I went and glued my eyes to almost every book I found thus I picked up a few ideas for how to write somewhat differently compared to the old chapters; like I now plan on to completely write from third pov and use first person pov less because now I know how irritating and silly it looks when almost every sentence starts like: *I was this* , *I am and* etc. and another big change is that from now on I tend to drag conversations between characters more often unlike the time I wrote everything pretty mush straightforward. Now please understand that this is all new to me so don't except it to be perfect and if you see a major problem with the way I am using these words or have any suggestions regardless of how small it may be, please do contact me with either a pm or simply by posting a review. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Side note: if I see you prefer the old method of writing in will switch but will use different POVs more often
On with the story:
"Are we there yet?" Humphrey whined as he dragged his legs across the rocky ground of the cave. They have been walking for what seemed like days but in fact it's been only a few hours had passed since they entered the hill which turned to be one long tunnel to Lupa knows where. Ace sighed" for the one hundredth time, we aren't not there yet! Now stop acting like cry puppy and follow me." he said as he narrowed his eyes to see better in the dark. Even though he knew this path like the back of his paw, it never hurt to be too careful. One time when he was coming back from the construction site to report to his boss; he was attacked by a long black snake with really big fangs! He hadn't told anyone but he almost wet himself when he felt the snake wrap itself around his legs. Oh did he mention it was a venomous snake?
Ace waved his paw in front of him shaking those disturbing thoughts away; even thought that was a long time ago, he still shivered whenever he remembered that incident." Hey! I'm talking to you." Humphrey said loudly, causing Ace's s train of thoughts to be stopped." W-what?" he asked blinking as he turned to face the grey wolf." I said what is that?" Humphrey asked pointing to the nearby wall with his nose. Ace traced his eyes and found out what he was pointing to." ah, I didn't think you would notice that! usually first timer is too scared of the dark and sorts to bother looking into the shadows. That my furry friend is the great story of the fate holder." Ace smiled as he looked at the image covered and painted into the very walls of the cave but claws of his ancestors.
Humphrey was surprised to say the least, he remembered Flame mentioning something about this "fate holder" a few times; said he was the one but Humphrey couldn't get how that was even possible! He was just, well, he was himself; an omega for most of his life and now part delta! Nothing more nothing less. He didn't even know what being this fate holder meant but he was sure it was something very important and he was determined to find out more about it." Hey I have an offer for you." Humphrey said ignoring the pain in his paws." fine, let's hear it." Ace said still staring at the painting which showed a grey furred wolf very similar to Humphrey's but unlike Humphrey he had a pair of black wings growing out of his back. He also had this aura around him that when you looked at him, you would get this little feeling of calmness in your stomach as if no matter what kind of trouble you got yourself into, everything was going to be okay if he was near. It helped Ace a lot with losing his fear of darkness when he first explored these tunnels.
"tell me the story of this guy while we take a break." He said pointing to the painting with his paw" And I promise to stop complaining till we reach our destination." Humphrey smiled hoping that he would accept because he really couldn't walk any further if they didn't take a break first. Ace changed his look towards him and sighed seeing the wolf's trembling swollen legs." I can't really refuse now, can I? you barely standing on your feet anyways. sit down because it's ganna be a long one." Humphrey nodded letting go of himself falling onto the ground panting.
Ace chuckled at scene before him as he too sat down and started the story.
"long before the creation of beings we call "human"; Was an era where animals ruled this land and had godlike powers. Like they could control the earth and skies and bend them to their needs and they all lived in peace, well almost in peace. Lupa the goddess of wolves was one of the …." Humphrey stopped his train of words." Wait, are you saying that THE Lupa like the one everyone uses her name to show they are telling the truth, actually exists?" he said with a look of shock on his face. Ace nodded and continued; leaving Humphrey is state of both fear and amazement. He was amazed because well, it's not every day that you learn the one wolf you swear upon wanting to show your either worthy or telling the truth, actually lives and is not a made up by some group of crazy wolves or something. He was also sacred because he really didn't use her name for the right reasons to begin with! Humphrey began to sweat as he remembered all the bad things he did. Like the one time he ate a full caribou back when he was still living with Winston and Eve and blamed it on Kate and Lilly or the one time he literally drove a log sled into Shakey's den and getting away with by swearing to Lupa that he didn't know anything about it. Oh did I mention they time he almost accidently set the forest on fire?
"Oh FOR THE LOVE OF Lupa are you even listing to me?" ace suddenly yelled causing the cave to shake lightly which made a few stones to drop from the ceiling and One of them fell on top of Humphrey's head, snapping the poor sweating hemi-delta in heart out of his thoughts." Ouch! That hurt!" Humphrey whined rubbing the top of his head. Ace rolled his eyes as he mumbled under his breath" omegas" before continuing" as I was saying, Lupa was the goddess of wolves but even though all wolves obeyed her every command, it didn't mean the wolves were untied! Therefore, every one hundred year or so a war ran loose in the heart of Lupa's domain which these days is renamed as "Canada". Lupa's patience grew thin with each passing war. The kind goddess couldn't stand seeing her loved ones tore each other limb to limb just for sake of some food and territory so she gathered the best of the best to compete in a trial, a contest to see who really is the best and the winner would get Lupa's blessing for all eternity and the same went for all those came for his bloodline but as all knew there is always a catch! Lupa knew that it would be only a matter of time before the other pack grew a grudge against the winner's so she relocated them in a secret location that even the ones with the keenest of sight couldn't find them. The only way any mortal could see them was either by Lupa's will or her champion's.
From all kind and sizes Lupa only chose 12 wolves she thought they were up for the test and their contest began. The details of it never leaked to the outer world but there are rumors saying that they had to do the impossible! Such as swimming among tidal waves, climbing unclimbed mountains and surviving the earth's coldest and hottest weather for weeks. In the end, only two stood tall amongst others. They were equal to one another in every single way. From their skills in fighting to their speed in running, even the number of log squats they could do were the same! One of them was one the of two sons of the all mighty alpha of the west, Dean and the other wolf was strangely a nobody! No one knew where he was from nor did they know what his name was and rumors has it that even he didn't know anything about himself thus the wolves made a name for him! Homefree; signifying one who has no home and is free from all binds of mortality.
Even though both Dean and Homefree were suitable and powerful leaders, there was but one empty place and for that matter a second competition began only this time it was a simple fight with a simple rule, fight till one of them was dead!" Humphrey gulped. The cave's atmosphere suddenly became dull to his eyes. His throat became dry. 'Why couldn't he remember any of this happening? If he and I are really the same person then obviously there must be something, anything that I can relate to but whenever I try to think about it; I end up with a bad headache.' Humphrey looked at the sketch on the wall with a frustrated look. Luckily due to the darkness of their surroundings, Ace didn't notice it.' Who really am I?' Humphrey thought." Come. There are things that even I can't explain. It's easier to show." Ace said calmly as he started walking the narrow path once again.
Humphrey groaned as he stood up after his short break. His legs still felt a bit numb but most of pain was gone. He didn't want to follow him, his mind was screaming for him to turn back run at top of his lungs and try to escape and find Lilly so they could get the hell out of this place! His chances of success were even higher if the guards were on a lunch break or something but he doubted if he could find his way back since he didn't exactly know where he was. Plus, if he ran, what would become of that three legged pup he protected? His heart was too kind to abandon the stray pup even though he only knew for a day or so. Humphrey sighed burying his desires as he jogged a little to catch up to the one eyed story teller.
Humphrey didn't with where his step and lost balance hitting Ace's behind." Watch your step! You blind or something?!" Ace growled; his eyes were filled with bloodlust." Humphrey gulped as he apologized. He had never felt a bloodlust this strong it basically made his eyes burn just from looking at them." Sorry, I really can't see where I'm going in this hell of darkness." Humphrey said trying to find Ace's face. the now calm wolf sighed as he lifted his head towards the celling and let out a short howl. It had three notes; the staring one was long and loud and the middle one was like a short whistle and the last one was a long hollow note. Just when he finished his howl a dozens of little sparkling lights formed on the walls, lighting up the cave so hard that Humphrey had to close his eyes for a minute or so. When he finally opened them, he was simply amazed by the sight before him.
There were tons and by tons, I mean tons of little fire crackers trapped in small baskets of leaves which for hanging off walls. The leaves were stuck to the wall by some tree sap and there was a big pile of fresh food near every leaf so the insects didn't die from hunger and all of their disposal was taken away by the two small strings of water the followed under them, throughout the tunnel. Humphrey really liked to thank the person who thought of this system because it was simply magnificent.' Hey I may not be as smart as Lilly but I know smarts when I sees smarts. Wait, does that even make sense?' Humphrey thoughts were distracted as a bit of drool fell down from his face while he was in shock.
"you mean to tell me that you could have done that and we were walking all this time in darkness!? "Humphrey said with an annoyed look." Yea but I didn't brother because I just knew the way by heart." Ace shrugged as he began walking towards one of the many painted walls in the cave." Unbelievable." Humphrey huffed as he unwillingly followed.
We came to a stop near another painted picture. This one was showing a black- reddish wolf. He was pretty big with a lot muscles on his body. His mane was dirty with stings of blood left and right on his fur but the scariest thing about him wasn't his big structure nor was the fact that he was soaked in blood; it was his eyes! The wolf's eyes were breathtaking! Not because they were beautiful, no, not that; it was the outstanding amount of knowledge you felt when you were looking into them plus they had flames in them which made them scarier. The essence of fear and despair was flowing over his fur like a cloak. It worst of all was his smile. It was like he knew of all your weak spots and at exact moment of your death. Just when Humphrey thought of this he felt something very cold brush against the back of his neck but when he turned around but saw nothing.' That painting is giving me the creeps!' Humphrey thought as he shivered in fear, causing his fur to stand up and making him look like a puffy fur ball.
Humphrey patted his fur down and looked back at Ace and found the wolf looking at everything except the picture. Who could blame him?! even now that Humphrey knew the fate holder AKA him/ Homefree had fought this guy, his fur still got all freaky when around him. it was impressive by its own that he hadn't pissed himself yet." S-so I take it that he is the other c-champion, right?" Humphrey stuttered try to lighten up the atmosphere. As if it wasn't bright as daylight in here already. Humphrey rolled his eyes at the thought. Ace slightly nodded still avoiding the picture by any means necessary." Come on, there is nothing I want to hear about this guy anyways." I said walked passed him and for the first time that day, I was the one leading.
We walked for a while, moving pass the other contestants only sharing them a small glance and the little explanation Ace gave before going to the next one. We moved like this for a while before reaching a different picture. this one didn't show any wolves nor did it show the land; well, it did kind of. In front of the duo was a big plain of grass with a few trees' here and there. In the middle of the plain was a big circle cleared of grass forming somewhat of an arena where the fight would take place. As Humphrey was observing the battle scene he noticed the picture began to move and steer as the dried drops of paint turned wet again moving all over the wall!
Humphrey's eyes widened as he saw small bits of white move across the blue as if they were clouds moving in the sky and a small yellowish drop went from the corner of the picture to the middle symbolizing the sun. the figures came to existence from under all the brown and green paints that represented the grass and soil. one was a grey wolf with wings and on the other side was a black reddish wolf emerging from the shadows.' What's this feeling I have deep inside? I feel like it is pulling me inside the painting!' Humphrey thought as he unconscious step by step got closer to the wall, as if he was put under a trance. He looked to the side only to find Ace staring blankly at the wall not even breathing! As if time itself had stopped!' what the hell?! Why can't I stop?' he thought, struggling to gain control of his body but It was pointless!
Humphrey closed his eyes waiting to be crushed into the wall of paint but it never came! Instead he felt the soft touch of a warm breeze on his cheeks. His eyes shot open and looked around; to say he was shocked by the sight was an understatement; he had actually entered the painting! He saw himself surrounded by grass just like the painting and saw a cleared out ground not so far from where he stood. He also saw the two wolves from the painting. Unlike the ones in the painting, they were HUGE! Like really big! They were at least twice as big as Dakota was! Humphrey hid behind the tall grass being careful to not be in front of the wind so they couldn't pick up his scent.' Boy those stealth lessons from Kate sure came in handy!' Humphrey thought noting to himself to thank Kate if he saw her again; no, scratch that, WHEN he sees her again because he will no matter what. He has to otherwise he would never forgive himself for not being there for her and let's not forget about Lilly; Humphrey still had to go back and find her and make sure his girlfriend's sister was safe. Humphrey blushed realizing he had called Kate his girlfriend for the first time after they told about their feelings to each other; it seemed like she made all of his worries go away and make him feel happy. Kate simply had that effect on him no matter how hurt he was because Kate was the one wolf that was there for him from the beginning; when he was all alone, she was there for him so there was absolutely no way he would not be there for her.
The winged wolf talked causing Humphrey to snap out of his thoughts and listen." Brother, I still don't understand your ignorance. Why do you wish to battle when the outcome is so obvious? You can't win against I, the champion of Lupa and the holder of these wing's power, no matter how powerful you are you are still bound by fate and fate is I's domain." Homefree said with a calm and confident look on his face as he flapped his wings a little causing a small sand storm to appear in the distance." Indeed, you are all that you have said but it is unwise to underestimate your opponent even by little, my dear friend because I also have some tricks up my sleeves." The black-red wolf said with a cracked voice as if he hadn't drunk any water in months!
'damn, since when am I the all high acting wolf? I hated proving others that I am better than them even if it's about something small like: "who can eat the most number of berries without puking?" or "who is better at log sledding?" that just wasn't me. now that I think of it, the only wolf I did try to impress was Kate but she really wasn't a type of girl to care about appearance and such; not that I'm bad looking or anything! it's just…* Augh* forget it!'
Right then, a huge lighting formed in the clear sky sending gusts of wind flinging to their faces. Homefree and Dean started running towards each other; digging their claws into the ground to get more speed. In a blink of an eye, they slash at one another withdrawing only to attack again without taking a breath. Humphrey struggled to keep up with their speed. even with him focusing his eyes out, he could only see glimpses of them every now and then. Those two were literally invisible for him! a thunder storm broke loose and lighting lighted up the sky every time when one hit the other making the sun want to disappear in shame for having so little light to offer.
Humphrey felt a surge of energy run through his body as his muscles starched to their limit to adjust to the new speed his heart was working with. His heart grew stronger and pumped faster sending the red-colored valuable liquid through his body with unbelievable speed. Humphrey felt a light pain in his head. his brain was working faster than ever! Processing large amounts of information with ease but that wasn't all that changed! His eyes started to change color and turned into a golden color while his fangs grew sharper and larger, becoming more like a saber cat's. his un-kept and rough fur became soft and silken but somehow it didn't fell loose on his side instead it stood near his body causing his newly grown muscles to become more noticeable than before.
"what the hell is happening to my body?!" Humphrey said checking himself out with horror. He hadn't noticed but he actually yelled his sentence causing the two champions' to stop in mid-air staring at him as they blindly hit each other's face, throwing them away. Dean simply got up panting heavily as he looked at me while Homefree coughed up some blood as he used his wings to push himself up." Wow. Wow, wow… looks like we have a mortal guest here." The dark wolf said with a scary smile clearly showing his sharp teeth.
Homefree walked a few steps closer" your eyes are getting rusty pal; would you look at that; he's no ordinary mortal Dean. I think, he's one of us!" he said as he shook the dirt off his body.
"but how could this be? I thought we were the last of our kind." He asked keeping his eyes pinpointed on me.
"so did I but look at him, the eyes, the fact that he survived all the way to here, bloody hell he even has the teeth! What more do you need?"
"I don't know, maybe he's just born like this or he could also be an actual saber! I mean who knows maybe he's just really different from them." He suggested trying to avoid in unavoidable.
Humphrey saw Homefree giving the *oh really? * look to Dean and decided to step in." ah guys, I'm her…" but he was interrupted.
"it talked!" Dean said pointing his paw at him.
"well of course HE did! He's still a living thing you know! I truly don't understand what gotten in to you lately. You seem to have lost you sense of reason my friend." Homefree said face palming for a second and then he turned towards the golden eyed stranger." You did speak back there, right?" he asked frowning.
'why am I the only one who gets in supernatural trouble all the time, huh? Why can't I live a calm happy life with my girlfriend, brother and parents and not be dragged into a tunnel with a half blind wolf in a place where they steal wolves and make them their slaves! And now I don't even know where I am! watching some black wolf who I don't know and my probably future or past self-arguing over whether or not am I am wolf or a saber cat! At times like these, I got to say life is just stupid, yup! plain stupidity is in the air!' Humphrey thought getting pissed off by every passing second. He nodded. "yeah, of course I can talk and you with the squeaky stop calling me it! My name's Humphrey. Now can someone tell me where am I?"
"sure but first tell me how did you manage to get here. This place was supposed to be a secret! Not a soul should be aware of this place." The black wolf said with his cracking voice and Homefree nodded conforming.
"oh, you sure about that because I just happen to walk straight to this place from …t-the..." Humphrey smile disappeared, noticing they would never believe him." well, to tell you the truth; I don't know if you think I'm a mad wolf or something but I came from *the other side*." He finished frowning, realizing how ridicules he sounded.
"excuse me, the other what? What do you exactly mean by the other side? As in what? across the mountains or something?" Homefree asked rising his eyebrow.
Humphrey sighed" look I know this sounds stupid but I came here when looking at a painting of you two fighting in some cave near this old temple. I don't what happened, one moment I was fine but next second, I suddenly couldn't control my body and started walking towards this painting of you guys fighting in this plain and I somehow arrived here."
"Right… you sure you didn't hit you head on a tree or something? Because you sure sound crazy uuh... what was your name again? was it hummy? Or was it humphy" Dean snickered obviously making fun of the saber-wolf.
"neither! it's Humphrey." Humphrey growled, staring daggers at him. no one gets to call him with his nickname, only Kate did! He didn't know how but this guy was unknowingly crossing every single red line he never knew he had and it was pissing him off so bad! he wanted to smug that smile off his stupid face so bad that it made him snap." And I didn't hit my head anywhere but if you don't stop teasing me, your face will hit the ground and not in a good way, Body!" he growled spitting at the end because he still wasn't used to his new teeth.
"oh yeah? And what are you going to do? Are you ganna Bite me with your little bunny teeth? Or are you going to stare me to death with your shiny eyes? * hahahahaha* you really need to learn who to threaten and who to not Humphry!" Dean said as he began circling Humphrey." You'll drop dead before you even have a chance to lift a claw on me!"
Humphrey stared at Dean as he kept circling him stopping every now and then to look at him in the eyes. Dean's eyes weren't the same as before. They had changed like Humphrey's. except his weren't gold! It was like he had fire run through his eyes and in its flames he saw souls of fallen wolves being burnt and tortured. Humphrey could've sworn he heard their screams of agony as they were torn apart over and over again.
Humphrey gulped as cold sweat ran down his chin." W-what the hell are you? Are you the Devil?" he asked, his voice slightly shaking.
"I'm afraid not, Lupa's royal servant and the gate keeper of hell, the demotic Dean at your service." He said grinning as he slightly bowed his head. From the corner of his eye, Humphrey saw the winged wolf roll his eyes as he muttered "humph! showoff."
"wow a guard mutt! What an amazing title you have, hell's watch dog! Ha-ha" Humphrey let out a nervous laugh, trying to keep up his composure.
"why you little …" Dean growled furiously getting ready to charge at me. there were flames burning turned to black colored flames, giving him a more scared look than before.' Oh shit! His eyes are giving me the creeps.' Humphrey thought as he too got in an offensive position because after all Kate once told him that the best defense is offence.
Just when they were about to clash into each other, Homefree let out a sad and angry howl which caused us to freeze instantly. Dean's eyes turned back to normal as well as Humphrey's along with all the changes he went through, Humphrey saber like teeth slowly shrunk back to normal. After the transformation was complete, we both fell down to our knees panting so did Homefree. What's up with future ME's howl? I feel like …' the weak omega thought as he fell unconscious.
"god damn it Homefree! *pant **pant* A little warning would've been nice before*pant* you go all out witا that stupid "night's howl" of yours! argh Last time you used it, I couldn't poop straight for five days! Five freaking long days! Can you even imagine how painful that is?!" Dean grumbled barely standing on his legs.
"hey it affected me too you know! Plus, it was the only way I could save my eeh how to put this, uuh well this was the only way to save me!" Homefree said blinking a lot trying to get a rid of the dizziness in his head.
"I'm sorry, who the what the when now?" Dean said, now changing his look between the two fate holders.
"I mean look at us Dean, we have the same fur, same eyes, same transformed look and almost the same voice! Don't you think that this is more than a mere coincidence?" Homefree said pointing back and forth to the replicate of himself and him.
Dean nodded taking in what had heard." But if he is from your future then, then, that means I... I…". Dean tried to finish his sentence but he couldn't! words didn't come out of his mouth. Homefree finished for him" yes dean, it means you die!" he said with a sad voice.
Dean remind quiet for quite some time, taking what future held in for him. he certainly didn't want to die but then again what choses did he have left? He could see the result of their battle laying unconscious before him. there was no time left for him so he decided to make the most of it. " I'm sorry dear friend but if I'm ganna die then I will take him with me."
"I'm sorry to see you in such pain and misery but I will not stand by and let you destroy the timeline! You know what will happen to you right?" Homefree said taking a defensive position in front of the passed out wolf.
Dean burst out laughing but it wasn't a laugh of happiness but of sadness." …hehe to think our fight would turn out like this! Isn't it strange how one wolf can change the fate of millions? He just he to come and ruin everything. No matter, I just need to improvise! Even if I kill him, it won't solve my problem at the moment. There's only I thing I can do now." Dean said mostly talking to himself as he began to whisper words under his breath.
Homefree could easily hear his words with his enhanced hearing powers but boy he wished he hadn't heard any of those ancient enchantments." Have you gone made Dean?! Don't you dare do what I think you're going to do! Please there has to be another way!" Homefree said trying to stop him but he kept on saying the cursed words with closed eyes.
"…eh rou sunigh er debiga vertaf! I invite the ruler of dry lands and the master of death, the lord of darkness the fallen angel Lucifer to take control and in exchange perish my enemies!" (A/N: come on the story's name has angels in it! You knew it was coming from the get go right? if not, well, be ready for more angels and maybe demons in the future.)
A read lighting broke through the sky as a pure black smoke formed around where it hit. But this wasn't just any ordinary smoke! It was alive and it was looking for something or maybe someone. the void smoke began spreading across the empty plain looking for its vessel.
Dean sat where he casted the spell silently thinking about his future while he ignored all the words Homefree said trying to encourage him to cancel the *deal* as you may call it but they both knew that it was too late for him anyways.' So this is the end. huh, strange I thought my death would be with honor in the battle field not by betraying my one and only friend and his future replicate. Life has a weird taste of making things be when it comes to fates, eh?'
Dean looked up to sky and saw the black smoke hovering above him. he unwillingly opened his mouth and entailed the smoke. The smelt like death and ashes and tested even worse! The smoke burned his insides as it pushed his essence to a corner gaining control. He didn't remember anything after that.
Homefree watched in horror as the being in front of him, changed from once his best friend to a monster! after consuming that much dark smoke, Dean's head fell down and he collapsed on the ground. A shockwave shakes the ground throwing Humphrey and Homefree back a few feet's. When the dust cleared a wolf emerged from the rubbles. His fur had changed color to pure snow! Almost like it came from heaven! It was spotless except from a blood red line which started from his left eye and went down his chest and from there rotated towards his back and ran straight down his tail almost like a curse mark! The wolf looked up and stared at Homefree with his red eyes. He didn't have any emotions on his face. he was a blank as ice which made him look more dangerous.
It wasn't until Lucifer had walked halfway the distance between them that Homefree broke out of his zombielike trance. He opened his wings as he leapt for his other self and flew away as fast as his wing could carry both of them. Lucifer watched them fee for a second before he took a glance at his back and suddenly the flesh on his back explode outwards and two very long bones formed along his back. Lucifer didn't even flinch a muscle from the pain as blood soaked his angelic fur. He extended his wings and with a whisper of words, they inflamed themselves, catching a purple colored flame as he too flew in pursuit of his targets.
Homefree flapped his wings like there was no tomorrow! Actually if Lucifer killed Humphrey there would be no tomorrow for him. he needed to find Lupa, she could help him send Humphrey back and Lucifer couldn't enter her palace because it was made of holy lands and wherever there was speak of anything pure, the devil could not enter.
Homefree soon reached the palace which was located on the top of a tall mountain (same one where the guardian angel pack is living at moment) he flew inside the throne room from a big hole there acquire the light of the room and set Humphrey down near a wall; then he turned around and walked to the throne and kneeled down." My queen, Dean has broken the terms of the fight and has invited Lucifer to host his body. we are in need of your help." Homefree said looking at the ground for showing his respect.
"lift your head my dear champion, it is sad to hear such news but I will have to take care of my brother. Take you and the future you to the nursing place, rest well. You have earned it young one. I will send him back when I return." The goddess said with the softest of voice as she flashed out of the room with her godly powers.
Homefree sat there for a moment catching his breath then he nuzzled Humphrey's side trying to wake him up but he was out cold. He sighed as he proceeded to tackle him on his back." Guess this what they mean when they say, you will carry your future!" he silently laughed to his small joke as he walked through the hallways of the huge palace.
A/N: so Humphrey just can't stick to one place. He seems to get dragged along to different palaces but what will he face when it's time to come back? You'll find out in the next chapter
IMPORTANT NEWS: the reason why this chapter went up so late is because of two things. First I accidently got carried away and wrote more than what I could handle! And now I don't have enough time to proof read it all so I had to break to three parts which the second is a bit shorter. The other reason is because I don't exactly know what but I had this pain in my stomach so we went to the doctors and they said I have to get surgery and stuff so yeah, umm I don't think I can post anything after the surgery which is in two weeks or so. Eeh I don't how to say this but wish me luck so I can get well soon and be back with more chapters! :) also please leave some reviews about what you think of my new style of writing mentioning what you like and what you don't because your opinion really does matter to me and plus I go crazy for fav's and reviews: p
See you in two weeks or something!
Peace in, love out
