(Line Break)
Sharp hazel eyes watched proudly as two young men wrestled against several wolves. The wolves themselves were roughly the size of bears. To be able to lift one up easily filled her with pride.
Both young men looked practically alike, with short black hair and 6' tall. Underneath the bronze chest plates, they both wore tight long sleeves that stopped before there wrists but one had a grey hoodie. They both wore blue jeans but one had black boots and the other had brown. And finally one had baby blue eyes, while the other were cold gray.
The mother wolf grinned as the stood back to back, scanning the area. The wolves were defeated, but they remained alert. They reminded her of several of her best pupils. It's a shame there weren't many like them anymore.
After rising to all fours and stretching, she hopped doen from the ledge she was on. The two noticed and quickly sank to a knee and bowed. But she saw the two were still tense, ready for battle.
Good.
In a yellow flash, she changed into her human appearance. Dressed in bronze armor with a purple battle skirt and sandles, she spoke.
"Rise, Viribus"
The twin with gray eyes rose to his feet.
"Rise, Atsáli"
The twin with blue eyes rose to his feet.
They met the gaze of tbe wolf goddess. Her hazel eyes met blue and gray, and in an instant the two jumped back from her and got into fighting stances.
She smiles and summons a Roman Gladius. Atsáli tapped the watch on his left wrist, summoning a Greek shield with the delta sign on it.
Viribus took the armbars on his arms off and tossed them to the wolf goddess. She sidesteps the two armor pieces. They landed behind her making a small crater and shaking the battleground.
The force threw her off slightly, but thats when they attacked. The sheild barer charged in and tried to bash Lupa, but she sidesteps and lets him fly past her. Without turning she holds up her Gladius to block the fist of the other twin.
Together, the two barrages her with attacks. Punches shook the ground and kicks shattered boulders nearby, but Lupa blocked and parried them all.
She smiles as she blocks Viribus' fist with the flat of her blade while lifting her leg to shin block Atsáli's roundhouse. They've both gotten strong over the years.
She pushes them both away before dashing at Viribus.
"Always be light on your feet!" she shouts, hacking and slashing at him with blinding speed. He's nicked a few times, but dodges them.
Viribus jumps to avoid another slash before backflipping away. That's when Atsáli rushed in and shield bashes Lupa.
The wolf goddess gets knocked back, but she lands with a crouch. Atsáli leaps at her with a roar, shield raised to smash her. She rolls away while throwing sand in his eyes.
The young man hisses as the sand stung his eyes. He rolls to a stop, rubbing his eyes.
"Keep your senses sharp!" Lupa barks as she swings her sword for the back of his head. Atsáli, using his senses, heard the blade slive through the air and dodges at the last minute.
Her sword sliced clean through the ground. Turning while rising to his feet, he bashes her once again with his shield.
Lupa was knocked away, but not before throwing her gladius at him. Atsáli bats it away with his shield,letting it cut through a few trees before embing itself in a boulder.
She struck her hand out to call back the sword, but a fist inches away from her face forces her back. But the force of the punch blows her away.
Viribus follows up with a right roundhouse, which she blocks with her forearm. The wolf goddess adopts a blood thirsty grin as her arm tingled from the force.
She pushes him back and starts throwing a flurry of jabs and crosses. All of which Viribus managed to block and dodge.
Atsáli throws his shield at Lupa from behind which she ducks under. She blinks in shock, realizing the shield her son threw wasn't meant for her.
A knee to the face knocked her back, giving her a brief glance at Viribus holding Atsáli's shield. She backflips to her feet and presumes fighting position, facing them both.
The two young men faced the wolf mother, before sharing a quick glance at each other. Viribus dashes at the goddess while Atsali sent punches towards her.
The punches were so powerful, the force cleared several trees. Lupa dodges the force punches before turning to punch the oncoming Viribus. He raises his shield to defend, but was pushed back.
Taking the opportunity, she summons her gladius to her hand amd charges at the demigod. The two were then locked in a sword-vs-shield battle. With a slash blocked, Viribus countered with a jab-cross combo before uppercutting her with his shield arm.
She was lifted off the ground by the force before getting back kicked away. She rolls to a hault and huffs. Rising to her feet, she smiles.
"Well done, boys" she says as her wounds healed, "you've managed to make this old dog bleed during a warm up"
She then stares at them with an intense wolf stare, "But your final challenge starts now. Come at me, with everything you've got"
Viribus nods and tosses his shield back to his owner, who caught it effortlessly. He turns it back to a watch and walks to his brother's side. The two legionaires nod to one another before glaring at the wolf goddess.
BOOM!
The warriors turned to where the sound came from. There were hundreds of weird portals in the sky. The two boys tilt their heads, curious. They've never witnessed something like this before.
"Viribus. Atsali" Lupa says, bringing the two brothers to look away from the sky. They saw the goddess turn back into a wolf and turn towards them.
"I'm being summoned back to Olympus" she told them as her form began to glow, "whatever this is, it's making the Olympians...uneasy"
"Always be on guard, my sons. Control your emotions"
The twins look away as her form grew brighter. And with a flash, she was gone. The two looked to each other, then to the sky.
The pack of wolves that they wrestled were sleeping soundlessly, completely oblivious to the space crafts in the sky.
"What do you think? An invasion?" Atsáli asks his brother in Latin. His brother's stone gray eyes locked on to the directions of where the ship was heading to.
Viribus nods his head towards a tree. The two warriors climb up the tree to the top and watched as chaos erupted from the nearby city.
"Seattle" Viribus whispers, recognizing the infamous Space Needle. He looks towards Atsáli and says, "Most likely...should we investigate?"
The younger brother shrugs his shoulders, "Your call brother"
Viribus looks back to the city with a calculating gaze.
