As G.S.D hurriedly carried Drakkon towards the town of Hendon Myre, hoping to reach it before sunset. When the sun begins to set, the creatures of all sorts roam, looking for the taste of blood on their tongue or blade. G.S.D. knew he could take them on with little to no effort, but that would leave this unconscious boy as an easy target. Even though G.S.D was blind, he could see the faint power of the waves from others ahead of him, guiding him to his destination.

Suddenly, a feeling shot across G.S.D as a presence was closing in on him, and rapidly. Feeling urged to quicken his pace, he did so. As did the presence behind him.

The sound of trees being crushed and branches being snapped, in the distance caused G.S.D. to slow his pace, knowing that what ever was following him was massive in size and wanted nothing but blood. Though to prevent dragging this beast to his destination to cause massive havoc, he decided to rid himself of this annoyance quickly then continue to Hendon Myre afterwards.

As he stopped, the thunderous steps of something large and angered approached quicker. Hearing trees snap with ease and tossed aside with ungraceful thuds filled G.S.D.'s ears. A loud roar emerged directly behind him.

Suddenly, more branches snapped around him as heavy foot steps surrounded the man and boy. Snarling and grunts could be heard as did heavy breathing.

"FOOL! YOU SHALL DIE WHILE TREADING ON MY LAND!" A snarled shout was heard behind him."HUMANS ARE NOTHING BUT DIRT ON MY FEET AND BLOOD ON MY AXE" was quickly said afterwards.

G.S.D stood quietly, hearing the threat. Knowing now what beast could have said that. Taurens, and none other than Shauta, The Tau king himself made his presence known.

"SURRENDER NOW AND YOUR DEATH WILL BE QUICK AND PAINLESS!" boasted the Tau king. "RESIST AND I SHALL TAKE GREAT PLEASER IN DISMEMBERING YOUR BODY PEICE BY PEICE!" followed shortly from the bellowing beast.

G.S.D. just stood their patiently, carrying the unconscious form of Drakkon in his arms. Slightly he sighed in annoyance and kept a ear for approaching steps, though only hearing just ragged breaths from the numerous Taus that surround him.

"WHICH WILL IT BE BE HUMAN!" Was said in the moments that followed, though more of a statement then a question made by the Tau king. "ENOUGH OF THIS WAITING! KILL HIM!" the Tau king commanded, letting loose the force of Tau's he brought with him. With the command said, the group that surrounded G.S.D. screamed in delight as they charged at him with intent to destroy him for their king.

Still, with the thunderous sound of the Tau's coming towards him, G.S.D remained unmoved, except for when he shifted Drakkon to only being held by his left arm, while his right hand reached for the short sword in the sheath on his back. 'I need to make this quick.' He thought to himself. "Wave Manifiestation Brand" he whispered to himself.

"Murderous Wave" G.S.D said softly, as he body started to emit violent waves of energy around himself. Enticing the Tau that got closer to him crave pure blood-lust. Just as soon as the Tau's got close enough to hit him with the crude axes, G.S.D quickly shouted. "AGNI PENTACLE!"

Quickly, all the Tau's that were within range were lifted up, then massive spheres of energy surrounded G.S.D., and quickly revolved around him, slamming into the Tau's that got stuck into the attack, destroying the Tau's as the attack was slowing down and ended. Leaving the bodies of Tauren warriors dead around the old man.

"YOR'RE DEAD OLD HUMAN!" Shouted the enraged Tau king, as he witnessed all the Tauren warriors he brought with him die in an instant to an old man. As he was enraged, he ducked his massive bulk down and started charging at G.S.D, intending to crush him underfoot, or impale him on his horns.

The thundering steps of the Tau king easily gave his position away to G.S.D, who just turned to face the tau king, listening to the sound of the steps, and waiting for the right moment to act. In a matter of moments, G.S.D heard the ragged breath and easily side stepped to the right of the charging Tau King. Forcing the Tau king to slow his pace and try to turn around swinging his axe at a large arc to hit him. "YOU'LL DIE!" Screamed Shauta, as he heaved the weapon with great force, aiming for the general direction of G.S.D, who quickly leapt to the side, avoiding the weapon.

Once again enraged that he missed not only once, but twice. Shauta moved towards G.S.D and swinging his axe in great arcs side to side, hoping to cleave the man in half, but his success on hitting keeps failing, which enrages and frustrates the Tau King even more. "RUNNING LIKE A PATHETIC MAGGOT?" He boasted more, as he tried to intimidate G.S.D. now, while continuing to swing at him.

G.S.D just easily back-stepped, anticipating the attacks, while waiting for the right moment to retaliate. Hoping this wouldn't wake the unconscious Drakkon and he could still make it to Hendon Myre. Suddenly an idea appeared in his head that would give an opening he needed. He stopped back-stepping and waiting for the Tau king to swing again.

Seeing the human stopped moving, this gave an extra boost to the Tau Kings efforts to kill him. "DIE!" He shouted while throwing all his might into the swing of his great axe, aiming for the neck and head region, hoping to cleave his head off and keep as a trophy.

"Not today." Was all that was said from G.S.D as he quickly ducked under the swing of the axe, barely missing his head. Quickly recovering from the duck he slide his sword across the ground at the now unbalanced Tau king, launching him into the air slightly, as a wave wheel formed and began to slash into the Tau King. Just as the wheel began to fade, G.S.D prepared for the second assault to finally finish this, he stood upright and suddenly a burst of energy pushed the now injured Tau King away from him a few feet. Finally G.S.D. slammed his sword down to the ground near the Tau King's feet as forceful waves came from the weapon, pushing the downed Tau king away, then suddenly an electrical ball formed around the downed beast and started to electrocute him, as he cried out in pain, then slowly the king stopped making any sound or moving at all.

G.S.D. slowly stood up, and placed the short sword back into the sheath on his back. Panting slightly, as it has been some time since he resorted to using more then basic attacks and maneuvers. Shaking his left arm to see if the boy would stir, though to his relief, the boy was still unconscious.

He turned back towards the direction of Hendon Myre and walked briskly, not knowing the amount of time that had past during that little battle between him and Tau's with their king. Still hoping there is time for him to see Loton and Sharan, so he could set this child on the right path. 'I just hope I can make it in time' he thought to himself, as he picked his pace up from brisk to flat out running.

I severely apologize for the long wait for this chapter. Let's just say, life happened and many distractions

I did not forget, and glad I'm finally able to get back to this.
