Wolf of Stone novel Chapter 38

My eyes burned a bright purple in anger, "burn them all."

The energy that laid dormant around my heart awakened to the sound of my command, eagerly accepting, and calling forth a harsh and ferocious flame as the ground beneath us cracked and gave way to molten hot lava.

The growls soon turned to whimpers and howls of pain as the Hellhounds got decimated in what I've come to recognize as Hell's fire.

The fire ate at my enemies with a vengeance, feeding off my vengeful emotions.

"Holy shit," I could hear Liza fangirling somewhere behind me.

It was only when all the enemies disappeared did the fire slowly die out and travelled back to hence it came, beneath the ground as it closed as if I didn't just crack it open.

The clearing became peaceful once more.

A smile tilted up my lips as I found myself losing my balance.

"You're welcome," I or whoever was inside of me muttered.

Then everything went dark.

This again...

I stared at the black canvas before me as many tiny specs began to appear. As I stood there, refusing to at least try to run away like the last time, I watched as those tiny specs began to expand slowly into bright, purple stars, glittering all around me.

It was a beautiful sight... and if I was really interested in astrology then I would have wanted to capture this moment by taking a picture.

Beneath me, I could see even more stars as I stood on nothing but air. It was like the universe called to me... urging me to see what I was meant to see.

Last time though, I only saw the neighbour's kid. Which wasn't much help since I couldn't determine whether it was past, present, or future. Why were these visions even coming to me now at a time like this? What was I supposed to see?

I placed my hands on my hip as I blinked at the stars before me.

"What the hell do you want from me?"

No response was heard. Everything was eerily silent. I sighed.

I glimpsed a faint image from the corner of my eyes and turned to look in that direction. 

I gasped in surprise. My heart clenching in pain as an image of a girl appeared next to me. Everything about her features screamed my name that if it wasn't for the mole that rested beside her nose, I would have assumed that she was just a mere reflection of myself.

I felt my lungs choke up as my trembling lips parted to speak, yet I couldn't get out a single sound. My eyes turned glossy with tears.

Elysia...

The girl lifted a hand and pointed forward.

Despite myself, I reluctantly turned to gaze at what she was pointing at only to be knocked out by a large purple star as it collided with my body.

I gasped as I suddenly found myself back in the forest... near the cave's entrance once more with a whimpering kid curled up under a tree.

I gasped for breath as I shot up out of my sleep, my hand instinctively clinging to my chest.

That was...

My eyes were wide in disbelief as my thoughts ran wild.

Things were beginning to fall in line...

Of course!

To think I've missed this!

Excitement festered around my heart as my mind reeled at this new revelation.

"Wow wow wow, take it easy you overpowered studdess," Liza's voice snapped me out of my thoughts as she appeared next to me, cross-legged on the ground. She patted my back gently, "you alright?"

It was only then did I realize that I was gasping for breath. The effects of the vision I was thrust into.

I waved her away, "I'm fine, fine... what did you just call me?"

Liza grinned, "an overpowered studdess."

I raised an eyebrow, "and what is a studdess?"
