Two days already passed by since Shango had gone into the forest, he has been training his skills and body by killing beasts and absorbing their beast core. Shango who was at the two days ago was now at the peak of 2nd stage about to break through into the 3rd stage.
*Beasts running*, Shango could hear the stampede from a mile away, he runs towards the direction he was hearing the noise from, a hoard of beasts chasing after a young man, slightly older than Shango, tall with a big build and brown skin, a bit lighter Shango's skin, this character was escaping from a hoard of {Great winged Apes}. These beast as the name Implies as part of the great ape family and possess wings, they lay eggs once every half a century and can live for millennium and the reason why this stranger was being chased was unknown to Shango, even at that, he rushed in to save him.
{Shango}
Yo! Dude! Follow me if you don't want to die
{??}
What!? You expect me follow someone I don't know?
{Shango}
It's your choice dude!, follow me and live or survive on your own.
{??}
.... Alright then, lead the way!
{Shango}
Try to keep up!
{??}
Listen punk, run as fast as you can, I won't have a problem keeping up with a kid.
{Shango}
Suit yourself
*speeds up*
{??}
What the hell? Is he a monster disguised as a kid!? He's not much younger than me! Hey! Wait up!
He ran towards the path Shango ran towards to and meet him waiting at the cliff.
{??}
Damn it! How can you be so fast? As fast as a practitioner at the peak of TRUE YIN YANG STAGE. huff! so what now? A dead end, you led us to a dead end
{Shango}
What do you see underneath this cliff?
{??}
A river, so what?
{Shango}
Great winged apes hate water, all we have to do is jump inside
{??}
Are you crazy? There is no way I'm jumping, it's too high up from here.
{Shango}
What? Scared of heights now! are we? Who was the one acting all though?
{??}
Argh! Whatever
They both jump in to evade the beasts chasing after them, they stayed inside the river until the apes left.
{??}
Don't expect me to thank you for saving my life you psycho.
{Shango}
I wasn't expecting a thank you in the first place, well now that I have saved your sorry ass, I can focus on my training before the competition day.
{??}
Competition? You're also going to the competition?
{Shango}
Why do you sound so surprised?
{??}
Well that much is to be expected of one who saved my life, I'm also going to the competition. My name is Ogun, inner disciple of the , so what's yours?
{Shango}
Shango, Outer disciple of the
{Ogun}
Oh! The neighboring sect? Wait Outer disciple? Well I guess you being fast doesn't necessarily mean you are strong, I'll have to see your strength in the competition, why don't we go together?
{Shango}
Sorry! But I like working alone, if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to my training
{Ogun}
I guess it can't be helped, I'll see you at the competition then
{Shango}
*reluctantly waves goodbye as he walks away*
{Ogun}
