As Randall delved deeper into the tangled undergrowth of the forest one he noticed that he had lost a power which he wasn’t even using and 2 his throat was feeling a bit itchy as the air grew thick with humidity, and the canopy above cast dappled shadows on the forest floor. His senses were on high alert, every rustle of leaves and snap of twigs sending a shiver down his spine. “If i get attacked by big foot we’re good, but if i meet a serial killer I will scream.”Randall muttered as he walked.  

  

   

  

Suddenly, without warning, the ground beneath him seemed to come alive. Thorned Vine snakes, their sinuous forms coiled and ready to strike, burst forth from the underbrush with startling speed. Before Randall could react, their barbed tendrils lashed out, scoring painful hits against his skin. With a grunt of surprise and pain, Randall stumbled backward, his heart pounding in his chest. But there was no time to dwell on the shock of the ambush. The Vinesnakes were upon him, their twisted forms writhing with malicious intent.  

  

   

  

Summoning his newfound power, Randall drew upon the fiery energy that now coursed through his veins. With a primal roar, he unleashed a torrent of flames from his mouth, the searing heat engulfing the Vinesnakes in a blazing inferno. “Holy shit I got flames coming out of my mouth... I bet I could make some awesome marshmallows treats.”Randall said as the vine snacks quickly burned.   

  

  

  

Randall, panting heavily, stands amidst the smoldering remains of the defeated Thorned Vinesnakes. He wipes sweat from his brow, still reeling from the intensity of the battle. “Damn noodles came out of no where.”Randall said as he caught his breath.   

  

“Who dares disturb the sanctity of my domain?”??? Asks “I Randall dare to sanctity your domain whoever you are.”Randall says cheerfully “I am the Ancient Guardian of this forest, protector of its sacred lands. And you, intruder, have incurred my wrath! You shall fear the name Sylvanus Guardian of this forest once I am done with you mortal.”Sylvanus Proclaimed.  

  

The foliage parts, revealing a towering figure clad in armor fashioned from bark and leaves. Its eyes blaze with an otherworldly light, and its voice carries the weight of centuries. “did I just anger and god of old?... sweet I can get brownie points with that god slayer dude.”Randall said as he rolled his shoulder his suite was clean despite being attacked by snakes earlier.  

  

“Listen hear you old bastard I was happily walking through the woods, the snakes attacked me, I killed them to defend myself end of story.”Randall says as he sized up the being from where he was standing. “Defending yourself? Against my children, the Thorned Vinesnakes? They are but a fraction of the life that thrives within these woods, and you have disrupted their balance.”Sylvanus said it voice clearly angered by Randall action. “I’m sorry but did you want me to die? I'm also part of nature born and raise, they attacked the wrong group... cause I'm clearly at the top.”Randall says  

  

“Apologies are not enough, mortal. Your kind has encroached upon this forest for far too long, desecrating its beauty and exploiting its resources. And now, I sense the presence of humans within the mansion, further tarnishing the sanctity of this land.”Sylvanus said as it made a spear come out of the ground it handles was iron but the tip seemed to be like daimonds, Randall knew either way that weapon was sharp.  

  

“Cool, can you point me towards them, I’m supposed to deliver them a package and once I’m done I’ll leave.”Randall says as he doesn’t care he made angry and old being. “Silence! Your words hold no sway here. The time has come for you to face the consequences of your actions. Prepare yourself, for the wrath of the forest shall be unleashed upon you!”Sylvanus  

  

   

  

The Ancient Guardian raises its arms, summoning the very essence of the forest itself to do its bidding. Trees twist and contort, roots burst forth from the ground, and a primal fury fills the air. “You picked the wrong person to fight!”Randall shouted as he quickly used his fire breath push back some roots and vines that came his way. The ground is shaken as trees are uprooted and chucked at Randall. “Oh shit!”Randall said he knew he wouldn’t be able to burn the tree fast enough so he dodge to the right and rolled out of danger.   

  

  

  

“Foolish mortal. You cannot hope to defeat me!”Sylvanus shouts as the spear almost hit Randall head it was just close ear and almost shaved some hair off his head. Randall looked wide eye at the spear for a moment before he grabbed said weapon. “I've faced greater threats than you, Sylvanus. And I'll do whatever it takes to deliver this damn package, eat flame you old bastard!”Randall said as he lit the spear tip on fire and started to charge towards the guardian slashing at any vines, roots or logs that came his way.  

  

Randall spins the spear as he blocks some oddly sharp looking leaves before he spins his body and with a hard chuck, throws the spears towards Sylvanus hitting dead center in the chest. “No... this cannot be... Your Mortal, you shouldn’t be able to beat this body.”Sylvanus says before in a blinding flash of light, Sylvanus's earthly body is consumed by fire, leaving nothing but ash in its wake. “yeah, well you we had bad match up fire beats plant dumbass... oh well he’ll be back those damn deity always do.”Randall says as he opened a pop tart packet and munched on the treat as he walked deeper into the forest to look for the mansion.  

  

Randall gets a text message he pulled his phone out as he balanced the package on his head. -Shade: Hey, Randall! Just wanted to say, you absolutely crushed it out there in the forest! I swear, I could practically feel the heat from your fire blasts all the way over here. Seriously impressive stuff, my man. Keep up the good work! 🙌🔥-  

  

“Thanks, Shade! Your support means a lot. It was a tough battle, but I managed to come out on top. Wish you could've been there to see it for real!”Randall says outloud  

  

   

  

-Shade: Me too, buddy. But hey, I'll might catch the next one. In the meantime, stay safe out there. And if you need backup, you know who to call. 😉 your friendly task maker Shade... peace!-  

  

   

  

“Will do! Thanks again, Shade. Talk to you soon.”Randall says as he as he also done with his snack. -Shade: PS turn right and take a few you’ll see the mansion.-  

  

Randall did as Shade messaged him and yeah, he saw the mansion it looked old and spooky yet at the same time had a welcoming feel towards it. He walked past the gate and knocked on the door. With a hard knocks on the door and someone shouting coming. Randall waited.  

  

Randall watched as an old wizard opened the door. “Ahh my package is here you must be Randall, good good I can’t believe that Shady business man was telling the truth, anyways my name is Zephyrion Frostbeard how much do i owe you for the delivery?”Zephyrion Frostbeard asked.  

  

Randall got a good luck at Zephyrion Frostbeard and could easily see he had formidable figure, standing tall and proud with a commanding presence. He has a weathered face, marked by years of wisdom and experience, with sharp, piercing eyes that seem to hold a hint of ancient knowledge. His features are rugged, with a strong jawline and a prominent nose, framed by a short beard of frost-white hair that gives him his distinctive name. 

  

Despite his age, there is a vitality to Zephyrion's demeanor, as if the winds of time themselves swirl around him, imbuing him with an air of mystique and power. His gaze is intense, with a spark of magic that seems to dance behind his eyes, hinting at the vast depths of arcane knowledge he possesses. Zephyrion is clad in robes of deep indigo, embroidered with intricate patterns of silver thread that glimmer in the light like stars in the night sky. The fabric flows around him like the shifting currents of the ether, swirling and twisting with each movement as if guided by unseen forces. 

  

Over his robes, Zephyrion wears a heavy cloak of fur, lined with frost-white pelts that shimmer with an otherworldly sheen. The cloak billows behind him like a storm cloud, adding to his imposing presence and lending an air of mystery to his figure. 

  

At his waist, Zephyrion carries a belt adorned with ancient runes and charms, each one pulsing with the raw energy of the elements. His staff, carved from the wood of an ancient oak tree and tipped with a glowing crystal, is never far from his side, serving as both a focus for his magic and a symbol of his authority. "Meh, I take whatever honestly I just killed some forest deity which already gives me bragging rights."Randall says 

  

Zephyrion pulled out a wand made some gold appear by zapping some magic at branch. "thats about 30 gold coins thank you dear chap, take care and please... get home safely."Zephyrion said "will do."Randall says as he walks through ther wizard's door and disappeared. "I must say teleport magic through doors, what a strong mage that fellow is."Zephyrion said to himself. 

  

-scene cut.- 

"So what was in the package?"Z asks Randall "oh it was soul of a few no name demons from hell... so how was your day?"Randall asks Z as he sitting on a couch in the nameless manor sipping some coffee. "Well I could tell you about my day or a past adventure if you want."Z says as the T.V in the background was playing some news

-with shade-

"well that was something, anyways this year I promise myself to upload more and we are already in april not a good look for myself, meh, anyways enjoy and see ya all later take care now."Shade says as he waves good bye.
