On top of an immense and tall ant hill looking like a massive tall tower in the middle of a lone and cold forest.
A man wearing heavy long white coat obliviously made with the fur and leather of a beast, with rugged leather pants and an iron breast plate on top with nothing underneath plus shoulder and arm guards holding with
a heavy sword sheathed on his back, was scanning the forest with his blue piercing eyes looking for any signs of intruders or any dangerous beast in the perimeter of the ant hill.
"this hellish winter is over and we survive again, go and inform the hunter and forager unit that they can go out and forage for wood and hunt what they can find , but they should not go beyond the range, of my sensing ability but to be sure alert the soldier ants on duty to escort them just in case.'' said the man overlooking the horizon
Quickly the soldier ant kneeling behind the man giving orders left in hurry to relay his orders.
The man giving orders was Yanrid, an ant soldier who was in charge of supervising the activities of outside the ant nest he mostly acted as a border patrol officer, his primary job was to ensure the safety of the other ants working on the outside looking for wood and food.
Yanrid is a tall, tanned skinned and budging muscles and an aura that obviously commanded respect of those around him.
Suddenly an ant soldier quickly ran to him and kneeled.''Lord Yanrid, I bring good news from the inner nest, it seems that our king has
woken up. ''said the ant soldier.
Yanrid still looking at the forest remained unfazed by the news
''What about it,Obviously he will fall back into his coma due to the mana pollution and sleep for God knows how long.'' Yanrid said this because it was not the first time Antares had woken up and he usually didn't last a day and always fell back to sleep for his body to slow the propagation of the mana pollution.
'' Well, it would seem this time it is different, my lord'' said the ant soldier.
Yanrid glanced at him and said'' What do you mean soldier?''
'' It has been a day since the king woke up and he has not shown signs of mana pollution, it is said that he was seen chatting with his caretaker Lady Zarah and he already manifesting signs of awakening aura my lord
'' said the ant with his head bowed down.
This news greatly shocked Yanrid but chocked in a good way. If the ant soldier could see his face, he would see a smile from the cold hearted general and it would greatly surprise him and the others because Yanrid
was someone who did not smile often and was rather cold to everybody.
Suddenly two sets of see-through insect wings with blue veins bulging in them came out of Yanrid's back. The ant soldier was mesmerized by the sight of Yanrid's wings because they were considered to be the most beautiful in tribe.
''Guess it's time for me to go and greet my beloved king but before that….let's do some exercise''
Just as the soldier was admiring the beauty of the scene, Yanrid jumped off the ant hill and headed down to the entrance which led to the in part of the nest where the non-combatant ant lived as well as the king 's settlement and other facilities were located.
Right below the ant hill, there was a small camp of ant soldier, hunters and foragers who were caring out a number of various tasks on their own such as skinning the hunted animals, sparring and preparing the items like meat and wood which were suppose to go inside the inner nest.
In the sky the soldier noticed something heading straight for there camp but they could not recognize what it was.
"Hey, what is that thing in the sky?"
"Where?"
"Right there it's as if it is observing us"
'' I have a bad feeling about this one guys''
'' You think it's Lord Yanrid ''
'' Nah He's...…wait SHITTTTTT''
Booooooooom!!!!!!!
The sound was loud and it put everyone on alert mode in the camp.
Roarrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
As the dust from the impact dissipated a bird roughly 5 meters in height a wing span of 10 meters was flapping its wing to create strong wing blades to kill the habitants of the camp, this bird was purple feathered with some golden feathers here and there with red crimson eyes and golden comb on its head that looked like a crown and a golden curved beak that could shred a person in two.
This bird was a Terror Fowl, known as one of the emperors of the sky, it has strong wind related abilities and it had the strength to kill a small company of men if treated lightly.
Just as the terror fowl was about to unleash a new barrage wing blades on the camp, Yanrid flew towards it at a high speed.
Demonic ice demon blade: first dance
FROZEN CLAW
Directly Yanrid's great sword was enveloped in and icy aura and he cleanly beheaded the terror fowl in one swift movement.
When the soldier ants now equipped for battle came to check on him. They saw Yanrid standing on top of the beheaded terror fowl.
There was no blood and it could be seen where Yanrid's blade had cut the head bird, it was completely frozen hence causing no blood to splash out on the ground.
''Boys pack this up, when the others come back from their expedition, we pack up and head back to the inner nest, tonight we feast with our families.'' Said Yanrid.
'' YES, LORD YANRID '' shouted the soldiers and the started carrying out his orders.
'' Now this is getting exciting "said Yanrid looking at the sky while holding his frozen blade
