The Dimming Fire: Chapter 6

Maxis's POV
"So, uhh, can anybody tell me where we are?"

M was the one who replied, "Umm, hello. We're obviously in the caves."

"I'm sorry for angering you, but, I am blind so... yeah." M stopped.

"Oh yeah, right, sorry."

"Come on guys, we need to keep moving if we want to save Hestia."

I nodded and began to walk, but luckily Evan pulled me out of the way right before I apparently fell down a large hole. I thanked him. We kept walking for several hours, but we were all tired off it and kept asking Hippolyta to stop for a few minutes of rest.

"Come on guys, you all are way to slow. We NEED to keep moving."

"Please Hippolyta," I started, "I am getting tired and I need to rest." She stopped and I felt her nod. "Thank you."

"So M, is that your real name," asked Evan as he looked for something to do.

"Does it really matter what I say? Cause I'm still not going to tell you guys."

"Fair enough."

Suddenly I froze, I could see beyond the cave walls, or at least the cave walls I presumed were there, and I noticed several wolf like shapes heading this way. "Guys, I think we have company."

"What is it?" Asked M as he began preparing his weaponry.

"Yeah Maxis, what's coming!"

I counted the number of shapes, "I believe there are at least 12 Fenrir wolves coming towards us."

"Alright, Maxis, just do that talky killy thing that you did earlier and we can keep moving," said Hippolyta without a hint of worry in her voice. Before I could reply, Evan did.

"He probably used up a lot of energy to do that the first time, and is most likely recharging his energy." He turned to me. "Is that right?" I nodded to indicate it was.

"Well," began Hippolyta. "Looks like we are in for a fight."
