"HIYA!! TAKE THIS", Sami yelled as he spun a huge hammer around before slamming it into the chest of one of the stone golems.
The stone golem staggered back as cracks formed on its chest. Before it could recover Sami stomped the ground causing multiple rocks to raise.
"Petra Surgit!", " he chanted. Balls of rock formed circling around Sami.

Sami slammed the head of the hammer with full strength at one of the balls, sending it falling at the stone golem. Fire formed around the rock as it flew through the air picking up speed.
The golem got its arm up in a blocking, trying to guard against the attack.
KABOOM!
The flaming rock ends up striking the golem's right arm. Shattering it all the way up to its shoulder. It roared in pain as it glared at Sami.
Angel standing behind Sami, far enough away from the battle, was jumping around in excitement. "GO SAMI GO!"She cheered.
Sami smiled and sent a thumbs at her. Secretly he was enjoying the attention Angel was giving her. The golem took advantage of Sami's distraction trying to attack. The golem summoned a rain of rocks to fall on Sami.
Sami spun the hammer around, knocking all of the stones to the side. Sami could tell that he has gotten stronger in the last month. Heck he couldn't even use Lyra's hammer spell before, and now is using it easily.
Sami, shaking his head from his thoughts, followed up his attack by sending the last three balls at the Stone Golem. The Stone Golem didn't have a chance as it shattered into little pieces. Sami didn't hesitate to run in quickly to the fallen golem.
Jumping in the air he did a front flip aiming the hammer at the glowing spot on the ground. Sami learned when fighting any type of Golem you have to destroy the core. If you don't destroy the core then the golem will eventually reform.
KRAA-CACK!
Sami's attack shattered the core into eight shards. Ending the reign of the Stone Golem that was busy attacking the small town.
Sami woke up early to walk to the village which was only ten minutes from the campsite. Angel decided to tagalong(more like follow without asking.) when he left. As the duo walked through the woods they heard multiple people screaming.
Sami rushed ahead and that's when he saw the Stone Golem attacking the village. Buildings were caved in, including the arch of the entrance was destroyed by the Golem's rampage.
Sami of course rushed in and helped without thinking. Leading to him now standing over the shattered remains.
"Wow dude you're hella strong", Angel admired as she ran to caught up to Sami at the entrance.
Sami shrugged, "I really can't say I'm strong, maybe the person who casted the spell was weak."
"Aww common take the complaint", Angel whined, her face pouting at Sami.
"Thanks I guess", Sami replied. "I just know they're plenty of people stronger than me so I try not to get happy over one win."
Angel nodded at her as if to agree with him. Multiple villagers came and looked at Sami in awe. Some gasped in shock at seeing the hammer in his hand disappear. It just turned into light particles that flew into the distance.
"Wow is he one of the knights", one of the villagers.
"If he is, we are lucky that he showed up when he did", another villager replied.
Sami felt awkward at all the attention being on him not really knowing what to say.
Angel had sparks in her eyes as more people began to gather. "Look at the people watching us! OH MY ODIN WE ARE FAMOUS"
"Angel just come on", Sami sighed, grabbing her hand to pull her through the crowd quickly.
The circle that began to form around the duo parted as Sami came into the village. It was a small village not much noteworthy about it. Sami hoped that it just had a shop for maps or goods he could ask about.
With the way people are following them, it doesn't seem like they'll be getting help anytime soon.
Seeing the future isn't as fun as you think it is. Knowing things that will happen, but yet lacking the power to change it. That in itself is it's own kind of torture.
That is what Mercer goes through every day, he knows most events that will happen. Yet he is forced to deal with it after gaining his crow familiars. Heck he knew Lyra was going to get kidnaped, and that Sami was going to go save her.
Mercer sees the darkness that is coming for the kingdom, and at the moment only Sami can stop it. Sami will be the key for the next few events that'll happen. It hurts that Mercer is forced to see his grandson go into danger.
Yet not being able to lest he brings about an even worse future. Mercer clinched his staff hard, all the anger going throughout his body. Mercer walked around the academy.
Mercer the academy is going to suffer big betrayals soon, a lesson that Sami needs to learn. A lesson that you can't trust everyone. A lesson he wished Sami wouldn't have to learn.
If Mercer wants to save the kingdom from some of the destruction coming, Sami has to go through the pain. Hopefully Anna, and Lyra will be there for him, to help him pull through.
So much on Sami's shoulders, something Mercer wishes he can change but he can't.
"So we have to be on the dragon for 3 days", Anna cried. Tears falling down her eyes.
"Yes", Sami repeated as he finished packing up the group's supplies.
"But, but I don't want to be in the air for so long"
Sami let out a sigh as he put the last bag in the saddle. The dragon itself was huge, roughly the size of a castle. It's amazing that Angel even has the magic to summon the creature.
Onyx was softly snoring in Anna's arm, the lazy creature she is. Poke and Angel were already in the saddle waiting for Sami and Anna to get on.
At the village earlier in the day they got lucky they had old maps that mentioned a cyclops stronghold. Given to Sami for free with his name being the hero of the village.
With the final bag thrown in the saddle Sami climbed the dragon's scales. The next stop finally saving Lyra.
"Sami please don't make me ride on the dragon", Anna whined one last time. "I'll do anything"
"JUST GET IN THE DAMN SADDLE", Sami yelled back.
Reluctantly Anna jumped up into the saddle, crying along the way about the long journey ahead.
The cyclops land was off the coast of the southern part of the kingdom, it'll be two days to reach the ocean. One day travel over the ocean to reach the small island. Sami's heart pounded at the thought of being able to see Lyra once again.
He had really missed her arguments and her overall.
"LET'S GO PARTNER", Angel shouted, snapping the giant leash in her hands.
The dragon with her powerful wings flapped up, causing the trees to move with each of his flaps. Now the next stop is to save Lyra.
