Chapter 32: Recognition

Start from the beginning
                                        

She looked at me with worrying eyes, "We have to go...Now!" She spoke as she pulled me into a warp as we teleported somewhere else. When I looked around, it wasn't so far from where we were, only about half a kilometer away.

I looked over at her as I asked, "Can't you get us back to HQ?"

She gritted her teeth as she spoke, "Teleportation is my Primary ability, It consumes a lot of Xorlaz but the farther away the location is, the more Xorlaz it will consume. This is as far as I can take us without running out of Xorlaz, for now. The rest we have to run."

I still sensed the sinister waves of pressure as I grunted in annoyance, not at Shiro but at the situation as a whole. "Dammit, This is unfortunate. Okay, let's go."

We began to climb and vault over obstacles as we moved from building to building. Turning left and right and trying to get them off our tail; Eventually, I had to use my chains to move across each building. As I grappled to a nearby building I turned to see Shiro leaping across at great heights.

Upon looking closer at how she was doing it, I soon took notice of her legs which were shaped differently, they looked thin but muscular and seem to slightly bounce every time she lands or is about to jump as if her legs are very strong springs that allow her to jump higher than usual.

At that moment I acknowledged her incredible abilities to shapeshift but it was a small thought that I quickly moved aside to focus on the situation at hand. After a few minutes of us getting away from the oncoming wave of fear behind us, the sensation somehow faded out as me and Shiro stopped at our spots and turned around.

It's gone, where did they go? I thought to myself. We stood silent watching if there was anything past the hedges of buildings but nothing appeared. However, just when we felt like we could calm down and let loose our panicked nerves, A huge thud was heard from far away. Our anxiety swooped back into our mind as we hear a swift sound across the sky, like a sound of a cannon soaring through the air. Then an impact of some object from behind us as we staggered forward, my heart felt like it had exploded from the sudden crash before turning back to see what had landed.

What I initially thought was an object turned out to be a something else, among the dusty concrete stood a large living creature. Twice the size compared to me and a strong physical build for a creature. It took a stance as it gave a slightly distorted growl when the dust faded I was able to get a good look at the creature. Upon first glance, I felt like it was familiar to me. A wolf-like creature, slight tribal markings on its body, a heavy amount of fur, sharp claws and hollow eyes with steaming black and white aura seeping out of it.

Soon the wave of sinister presence came back as more Colorless landed around me and Shiro in a circle; there were many of them, too many to count. I figured that they were under the command of the large creature in front of me. I and Shiro stuck close to each other, and kept watch on each other's backs but when I placed my focus back on the large wolf Colorless. The creature stood straight but then hunched as if it had found its prey. The Colorless did one thing that made me remember it an instant; it tilted its head, pointed at itself then gave a wide grin. It looked down at me with pure hatred and insanity, it didn't want to kill me, it wanted to make me suffer. It spoke but the language was almost incomprehensible to me, then it said the words that sent chills down my spine.
