The birds chirped a delightful tune, a peaceful day that any could enjoy.
CRASH!
Only for the peaceful melody to be ended by the sound of a woman flying though a cinderblock wall, leaving a large, vaguely human shaped, hole.
“Ohhh, that’s smarts!” echoed a woman’s voice from the hole, her hands grasped at the edges of the opening and pulling herself out, “Ya got some bite to go with that bark, don’t ya buddy?” She spoke to her opponent, an incredibly large shit eating grin on her face.
Who just so happened to be a colossal, horrifying, snarling, black wolf. And who was charging right at her with the intent of crushing her under one of its massive paws.
But the woman was having none of that, she raised her hands into a loose stance and her entire body pulsed with golden light that collected at her fists.
“GOLDENNNN-” The wolf raised one of its paws, “MOUNTIANNNNN-“ She held one of her fist back, preparing her blow and the earth shook, “PUNCH!” And the punch flew, and the paw swung down.
Golden Fist and Black Paw struck, and the paw gave. The wolf was briefly sent into the air, flying back a small distance, crashing through an abandoned building. The woman chased after it, jumping into the air intending to deliver a powerful strike on its skull.
But the wolf recovered, and its massive jaws clasped down on the woman in a flash. Surprised, there was nothing she could do.
A moment passed the wolf unmoving and seemingly struggling with something. But slowly the tightly closed jaws began to open, revealing the woman, desperately using herself as a jack to open the colossal maw.
“DON’T! YOU! DARE!” She growled out, sweat dripping from her face, “UNDERESTIMATE ME!” and with all her might the jaw was opened, and as quickly as she could she jumped out.
She landed, cartwheeling to gain distance, before she turned to face her opponent again. The eyes of the massive wolf and the woman met again, both ablaze with fury and strength. Then the woman yelled as her body dropped into a stance and glowed with bright golden light.
“BRING IT ON YOU PUPPY!!!”
And the wolf snarled as began to walk around its opponent. And like that the battle was on again.
10 minutes ago
“Ughhhh, five more minutes Lanya. The council can stuff it…” A woman mumbled in her sleep as a small stay dog sniffed her face. Then it began to lick her face, “Hehe, didn’t know you had it in ya…” She mumbled in response as her eyes flickered open.
“AHH” She jumped to her feet, prompting the dog to run away in surprise. She looked around, observing the odd forest in confusion. “What in the name of the First did I drink last night…” She said as she scratched her head, she was dressed in simple clothing, like something she normally wore when walking around human villages. But she had her circlet.
She began to walk, looking for any landmarks she could find. Eventually she came upon a large clearing, and in the center there was a large beast sleeping. It was like a large wolf, but it was more than that. It was like a demon but at the same time really different. That much she could tell. It was probably really strong.
And suddenly and idea popped into her head and she began to grin. She slowly walked up to the wolf, scooping up a wad of dirt as she got closer. And then, the moment she got close to it she jammed the ball of filth into the wolf’s nose.
The wolf’s eyes jumped open as it quickly rose to its feet. Desperately t began to blow air out of it nose, trying to remove the invasion onto one of its most sensitive parts. Meanwhile the woman simply watched, a stupid grin on her face and a hand on her hip.
Eventually the wolf calmed down, and with its distress gone it turned to look at the invader, “You know, you looked really cute sleeping like that.” The woman said. The wolves eyes filled with rage and it began to growl at the one that disrupted its rest in such a horrid fashion.
“Ya, those are good eyes.” She said lowering herself to a stance as the wolf prepared to jump at her. “My name is Suiren, the 7th of the great demon council. And I’m gonna beat the shit out of ya.”
Back to the Present
Suiren ran forward, her fists glowing with bright golden light. The wolf smashed down with its paw, intent on making the woman before him a smudge on the ground.
Suiren grinned, and stopped the paw with two glowing palms. The earth below her gave way, shattering all around her, unable to take the transfer of might. But Suiren’s grin did not falter, even as the other front paw smacked her though a line of trees, landing a massive distance away, with her only barely being able to put up a guard in time.
“Ya, this is good.” She managed to let out as she slowly raised herself to her feet. It was obviously wearing on her; her body was trembling slightly from the exhaustion and strain of the combat. All the hits she has taken certainly have not helped. The wolf on the other hand was fairing far better. The difference in size was definitely putting the fight in its favor. But despite all of that she was smiling, a pure smile filled with joy and excitement.
Suiren only really had one more option, and she knew it. Not like she had many options against a giant fucking wolf in the first place, like, how do you fight something like that. And so she spread her legs apart and adopted another stance, her left hand was held forward while her right was cocked into a fist behind. And then it began.
Golden light collected in her fist, far brighter, and far greater than the light that was produced before. The earth shook and the air howled. The most distinct thing was the light, it began to flicker, color shifted and distorted, bending around her fist.
The wolf noticed this and charged at her, intending on stopping it before she could complete it. But by the time the wolf closed the massive distance between them, the massive distance the wolf made by swatting her away, it was done.
And with that it secured its loss.
“Supreme!” She yelled as her opponent reached her. “World Breaking!” She continued as she was in front of the massive wolf head, “EMPRESS FIST!!!” And her fist shot out crashing against the wolf’ skull.
Then there was light. A bright torrent of golden light that filled the forest. Then came the shockwave, trees were dislodged, as a tidal wave of force emanated from the clash.
Then finally the wolf went flying, crashing into a small cliff face a ways away, unconscious.
“And that’s…” Suiren said, as she fell to her knees panting, “How you get shit done.” And with those words she fell onto her back, asleep.
Suiren awoke groggily, her wounds and exhaustion completely gone. With a groin she began to stand up and move herself to foe. By the time she got there it began to stir from its… let’s call it a forced nap.
“Got to admit, you put up a really good fight, we should do it again sometime.” Suiren said with a jovial tone. The wolf forced itself up and glared at the woman before it, growling.
“Hey, calm down. I know I was a bit of a dick, but you seemed really strong, it was too good a fight to pass up.” She continued trying to make the wolf calm down. It seemed to relax and instead was evaluating the woman in front of it.
Then it did something that confused Suiren, it howled. It was loud, echoing through the woods and could no doubt be heard in the city some ways away.
The howling stopped a moment later and then it did something that confused Suiren even more, it talked?
“Find me next time you are in the woods, we will have a glorious hunt”
It then ran off into the forest.
Suiren just stood there a bit dumbfounded, until she smiled crossed her arms while nodding to herself. “Man, Am I good or what?” She said to herself. “Even giant demon wolves love me.”
She then turned and looked at the spires she saw in the distance, obviously not natural, “I guess I should check that out. Hopefully I can find something to eat.”
As if on cue her stomach let lose a massive growl.
“Shut up you” She muttered, putting her hand on the stomach, "Might want to wash up first though..." She said as she walked to the sound of running water, hoping clean herself off a bit. Then she would head into the city in the distance.
