Chapter 8 (sorry for posting so much about my book I've been writing a lot and I have no idea what to draw)

I had found the Underground Portal that led to Infernum. When I went through I saw Leaf and Neako. Neako, well that's better than Lert. Then she'd have some trouble but right now she should be fine. I couldn't hear what they were saying but after a bit I hurd Neako telling her to join him and his brother. She had gone into a thought cover but it looked like she would almost join him. I couldn't allow that.
I lunged at him and I pinned him down. I knew that the pin wouldn't last long but enough for her to stop considering. What? Craterday, you shouldn't be here. I entered her dream not yours and hers. Then he throws me off. I had seen Leaf use her powers and even if I told her to use them she was frozen in fear. Probably because we were fighting over lava and one of us couldn't die again where the other one could. Well I mean Neako could die again but it's different from killing them when they're alive, kinda anyway.
"Leaf snap out of," Neako jumped and pinned me. Having his claws come out he put his paw on my throat. I had started to choke because of it. I could feel my eyes roll back and go black. Right there I knew I had blacked out and was no longer able to fight him.

I woke up still in the volcano but alone. I felt different in some way. I did a quick spell to show what happened when I blacked out. "Tergum in tempus" Leaf had woken up and Neako somehow reversed the spell on me. I didn't know what spell he used or why he reversed it but he did. Then he just left. "ire in domum suam" I returned back to the president where I needed to return to the Magic World and not Infernum. I gave the coordinates to the portal and returned back to the Magic World. It was in a cave in the forest. Hidden well, it had vines around it and grass growing all around the broken rock. It almost resembled a hill except it still had rock showing and a cave-like entrance.
I had to find a place to keep watch for Coil, Stem, and Leaf. If Coil had his way they'd be here later today or tomorrow. If Leaf opened her mouth about seeing me Coil would practically make them run through the whole trip. Starting to climb to the top of the cave I heard about three wolves and maybe two foxes. They came running fast, I recognized the three wolves at once and they weren't my friends. The foxes I had wrong there were three foxes not two. They stopped and sniffed the air. Most likely they smelt me and once they did I knew they did.
"Craterday? I thought he would be dead by now. Soil, I have that sent right, right?" The brown wolf comes forward, his dark brown eyes looking around.
"Yep, it's him. And fresh too." Soil tells Maro. Maro was a black wolf with light grey on him almost so he looked like a badger. But it stopped before hitting his tail.
"Maro, Soil, and Fridue? Look who's come back here. Cowards." I come out speaking rather calm. I wasn't used to not having the spell on me but I think it helped instead of trying to do other things. Like kill them right away. "Ran away as soon as Neako and Lert started winning the fight. We could've still won that fight. But wolves like you ran. Just like cowards you are." I knew that they would say something back and if not lunge at me. To call anyone cowards was disrespectful.
Maro comes up to me growling. "What happened when the fight was over and wolves like you left the fight instead of finishing it? You all left as cowards as well." Now that I couldn't handle, what did they know about what happened? They ran before the battle was half over. We were told to retreat, it was the last order our alpha gave before he died.
It wasn't long after those words were spoken that me and Maro was muzzle to muzzle. Both of us could easily start a fight but I knew I was out numbered. If I even tried anything I would be dead. With the three foxes who could move silently and fast when they chose. The two other wolves were decent fighters when I saw them last but rather they got worse at fighting or much better. I didn't want to see Coil come through with the two she-wolves.
Soil turned to hearing them coming. I made my move there quickly. I unbalanced Maro and had a sword in my mouth at his throat. Coil, Leaf, and Stem came through the bushes and Soil turned around again when he heard Maros yelp.
"Maro, fight him." Fridue tells him. Fridue was a mud looking wolf. His pelt looked like mud and his eyes were a common brown. "He can't be better than you. Last we saw him he couldn't fight all that good." Maro took his word and threw me but not like he planned to. He had me thrown to the rocky hill, all I did was turn myself so my paws hit the rock. That way I could use it as a quick way to get back to him. Once I made contact with it I pushed back off and hit him squarely. Hitting a rock he was knocked out.
As I did that Leaf and Stem took care of one fox and we're fighting the other two. Coil had Soil pinned and Fridue was trying to run again. As they were all preoccupied I got in front of Fridue and backed him up with my sword. Getting him pinned up to the cave he started to look scared. Coil got Soil pinned up next to Fridue and had them both there. I went to help Leaf and Stem with the last two foxes. I went over and surprised one of them and after brief fighting they ran away.
Coil let Soil and Fridue run as they dragged Maro back with them.
"Leaf told me she saw you in her dream with Neako. Said you passed out. She didn't know what happened next. I woke her and Stem up to get going again." Coil tells me about last night. I saw his eyes go to my throat where Neako had stood. There were some claw marks that showed he had choked me out.
"I know. I saw what happened after I passed out." He knew the spell and how it worked. It brought you to a time of your choice. You just had to say Tergum in tempus and think of how far back I wanted to see. I wanted to know what had happened after I passed out. I only asked for after I passed out. It was a great spell for things like that. "Though I'm glad you came when you did. I almost thought I would never be able to do anything without getting overly attached."
Coil who knew about the spell knew that I should've attacked rather it was a good idea or not. Part of that spell was so that when you have the urge to attach you do it. At first I thought that spell was unharmful but I soon realized why they wanted that on the alpha. They were hoping that if it hit him his own pack would have to kill him so that he would stop trying to fight all the time. He was looking at me knowing that even I couldn't control that type of thing, so either a new spell was put on me so that that one was cancelled out or somehow I found a counter curse to it.
"How didn't you attach?" That question was bound to get asked by him. Stem and Leaf of course looked confused. I really couldn't blame them neither knew much about spells. Stem only knew one for portals. And portals for only going from this world to the Real World.
"Umm," I didn't know how to tell him that it was Neako who had helped me. "I don't know." Mumbling that hoping it would hide my knowledge of what had happened. Leaf came up and looked at my wound on my throat.
"It was so real there. With Neako in the volcano. I thought you were dead." The realization that she was worried about me being wounded kinda hurt me. I didn't know why but I had a feeling that if Lert found out he would try to kill her to get to me. Inside my head. Same if he knew about Coil and Stem being mates. Those two had no reason to be part of this fight but they were brought in by coming with us and being friends as well. She continued to look at my throat. "It should heal fine but I'd suggest not letting anyone choke you out next time." It was a dumb warning but I still dipped my head.
"What should we do? I can't find the cave for the Underground Portal at all." Stem tells us. Coil and I shared a quick glance before he went over and d moved the vines.
"Once you know where it is it's hard to not see it again." Stem and Leaf look in.
"But I don't see the portal." Leaf claims confused.
"That's the point." I moved to the far side of the cave and opened the portal with the coordinates."Follow me." I lead the way into the portal and we enter Infernum. The same part I was in when I met Lert.
So you weren't lying my brother.
