Wolf Guardians: Chapter 6- The Wolf Spirit Arises

More then two and half a months past as James' training got a little more intense. He looked forward to the end of each session. When they were done, his body ached all over, and sometimes he had to have help walking back into the manor cause he was so tired. "You're progress is picking up very well James. I've never seen someone that could learn so quickly." Zang complimented, "I think you are ready to move on to the next level of training, fighting with weapons."

"Just about how many levels are there of fighting?" James asked as leaned in the hot tub with Rance beside him.

"There is hand to hand combat, and weapons combat. You've cleared the first level, now on to the next." Zang explained.

"Oh this should be entertaining then." He sarcastically remarked.

"Well, I have confidence in you James." Rance said at his progress.

Rance had joined the training after his wounds had healed. Rance noticed every time they trained, he couldn't stop looking at James' sweating body. James was starting to tone up. Sometime James stood in front of a mirror looking at the progress of what training was doing to his body. He was starting to like it more.

"Damn it to hell that he is still lives. Damn that Rance Towers and his pathetic friends. They are more to contend with." Naz yelled.

"What would you like us to do?" One of the three men asked.

"I want that boy, and I want him alive and brought to me. I want you to do anything at any costs." Naz snarled, "Now you may leave."

Naz walked over to a mirror in his office and look at it. "Oh my dear friend Daren, I wondered how much old you've grown, while I stayed the same age for these many centuries." Naz laughed.

James sat straight up as a shiver went up his spine. He got a vision of a man laughing at a mirror. He felt something dark from this man. "Is something wrong James?" Rance asked.

James didn't respond, "Earth to James, I said is there something wrong.

James snapped out of it when he saw Rance wave his hand in front of his face. He smiled and looked at Rance, "I'm okay, I just had a shiver up my spine that's all."

Zang looked at James not totally believing what he had said. James got up out of the hot tub and walked over to the edge of the pool. Since his stay at the manor, James noticed little things that have been happening to him. He got visions every once and awhile. He also noticed that sometimes he loses consciousness, but didn't want to worry anyone about them. 'This would only have everyone worry about me and I wouldn't have my space.' James thought as he sat down.

"James, you're not completely telling the truth are you?" A mental voice rang in his head.

"Master Zang is that you?" James asked back.

"It is, you never thought I had this capability did you?" Zang said back.

"I knew there was something about you that I couldn't place." James said.

"I sense from you a power that grow even more, and a little is release." Zang said.

"I've noticed something with me that I don't want to tell anyone. I'm just waiting until this is all done and over with." James explained.

"I can also feel that there isn't something that you aren't telling us." Zang's voice remarked.

"I'm okay. If there was something I would let Rance, and you guys know." James replied back.

James slid into the pool, letting his weight carry him to the bottom. As he went down he was encased in a bubble. He hit the bottom of the floor. "You can hide the powers that we know exist in you James." James saw a form in the water of Zang.

"Master do Rance and Vance know about your true power? The one I feel from you. A very ancient, but strong power." James asked.

"They only know a little bit, but not all." The Zang form answered.

"There is something bothering you James, I can see it in your face. I can feel it in your heart." Zang said.

James then felt a pain shear through his body. He wrapped his arms around his body. He then disappeared into air. Back on the surface. "Rance something is wrong with James." Zang jumped out of the tub and headed to the pool.

Rance followed Zang over to the pool waiting for some sign of James. They saw nothing. This started to worry Rance. "What's going on Master? You and I saw him go in the pool and there isn't even anyone in there. Where is he master? Can you use your power to locate him?" Rance asked.

"I'll try what I can." Zang closed his eyes.

"Anything?" Rance asked impatiently.

"Nothing, I can only sense that he isn't in this world." Zang answered back.

"What does that mean?" Rance was confused.

"I don't know Rance. Just pray that he comes back safe." Zang opened his eyes.

"Where the world am I?" James looked at the scenery around him.

There was nothing but gray clouds moving all around. He heard wind but he didn't feel any wind against him. He then hear a voice call his name. It was distant and faint, but he could hear it. "Is there someone there?" James asked out loud.

There was not response. "I'm not liking the looks of this place, I wanna be back at the manor, with Rance where I feel safe." James thought as a rush of warmth came over him.

It seemed to be an hour since James disappeared. Rance was in his room worried. He heard a thud in outside in front of his room. He got up and went to the door. He opened the door and looked both ways down the hall. He then looked down on the floor and saw James laying on the floor. "James!" He yelled out loud and kneeled down to pick James up.

"James, can you hear me?" Rance asked as he shook James.

James just groaned. Rance carried James into his room and put James on his bed. Zang came into Rance's room, "It looks like he's exhausted.

Vance then came running in the room, "Rance is the them again. We've got to go."

Rance nodded his head then looked at Zang, "Master look after him for me please. It looks like our job is never done."

"Of course Rance, just kick their asses for me." Zang smiled.

Rance ran out of the room with Vance. A couple of minutes there was a pack of wolves howling. Zang went to the window and opened up the drapes. "The moon is full tonight." Zang sighed.

The moonlight hit James on the bed, making a outline of his body. Zang turned around and saw the gray wolf that James shifted into earlier at the door. His dragon spirit then appeared around him. "Now I understand why he turned into a wolf the other day. It was his animal spirit that was protecting him." Zang said.

"That is right Master Lan Zang, guarded by the dragon spirit." He heard a voice in his head.

"Are you here to protect him then?" Zang asked.

"Yes and no, something is going to happen tonight, he will need me to protect the one that loves him." The wolf answered back.

"You mean.." Zang cut himself short.

"Yes. I must enter his body and go to Rance's aide. He will need it. He will need your assistance too." The wolf spoke back.

James woke up hearing voices and sat up. "Rance is in trouble?" James asked.

Zang looked at James to see he was awake. "James this is your animal spirit. That is why you became a wolf the other day in the garden."

"My animal spirit?" James was a little confused.

"Yes, an animal guardian to watch and protect you." The wolf spirit answered.

"I'm afraid we don't have much time. We must go. You must let me be a part of your body James." The wolf asked.

"Yes." James opened his arms.

The wolf leaped in the air and went into James' body. James started to shift. The wolf looked back at Zang. Zang nodded his head. His dragon spirit coiled around him and soon enough he took his dragon form. They both faded in air.

Six miles north from the manor the Tower wolf pack split up in three groups. Rance, and Vance went with each other. "And that's the situation that we are facing cousin." Vance's voice rang in Rance's head.

"I can't believe it, after all these years, Naz is still alive. I wonder what he did to remain young. He probably black mailed a mage of high power." Rance talked back to Vance.

"Wait Rance stop, I can smell them around us. This was a set up to ambush us, so they could get James." Vance stopped.

From all around them black wolves surrounded them forming a circle. The same big black wolf from a couple of days ago entered the circle. "You feel for the oldest trick in the book Towers. Now to finish off what I was going to do the other day." The wolf snarled.

Suddenly, there was a light that embraced the woods. "What the hell is it?" All of the wolves' attention turned to the light.

Out from the light stepped a gray wolf standing on rock over looking at what was happening. "YOU!!" The black wolf spat.

"Nice to meet you again. I should of guessed you'd be here." The gray wolf smiled.

"Never mind about them, kill him." The black wolf instructed.

The gray wolf then shifted back into James. "James don't!" Rance's voice called out.

The pack of wolves jumped at James when they got near him. When the first one leaped at him he grabbed the wolf's front hind legs and threw it in the other direction. With the second one, he grabbed the wolf by the neck and twisted it cause it instant.

Another one tried to come from behind. James sensed the wolf and did a back flip sending it crashing into a tree. Two more wolves came from his side. James stepped back and grabbed them knocking their heads together then threw them to the side. The other wolves started to retreat from James. "Come back here you weaklings!" The black wolf shouted.

"You know what I'm just had about enough of you, and this is only the second time we met." James looked down at the wolf, "Now show me who you really are.

"Very well. I'll show you my true identity before I kill you." The black wolf smiled.

The wolf started to shift back into it's human form. "No it can't be!!!" Rance's voice echoed.

"It is. I'm Arik Steveson. Nephew to Naz Steveson, and second in command of the Steveson's." Arik announced himself.

"So I finally get a Steveson in person, without them hiding behind wolf skin." James remarked.

"And I assure you Mr. Matthews that you will see more of us." Arik said back.

"And rest assure, I'll put an end to his." James glared at Arik.

James ran towards Arik, using him as a wall, doing a flip and kicking him backwards. Crouched down he looked over his shoulder and looked at Arik. "So you wanna play like that? I'll go along with that." Arik grinned back and ran at James.

Arik tried to pile drive him, but James jumped high in the air, and then when he came back down, he kicked Arik in the back. Arik hit the ground face first. Arik got up pissed and turned to James, but found out he wasn't there. He felt a tap on his shoulder. Arik smiled and did a back flip. James lost his balance as felt Arik's foot hit his chest. He got his balance and was in a fighting stance.

"He's fighting very well I must say." Zang's voice entered Rance's and Vance's mind.

"Master!" They said in unison as they saw him in his dragon form.

"We have great deal of news to tell you when we return to the manor." Zang added.

"But Master you didn't show him any of those moves." Vance said.

"I know, that's what happens when you're animal spirit enters your body." Zang replied.

"Animal spirit?" Rance was lost.

"That's how he turned into that gray wolf. It was his animal spirit." Zang explained.

Both men were breathing hard and determined not to give up. "Had enough?" Arik asked.

"I'm barely warmed up." James replied with a grin.

Arik then made an advance on James. James crouched down and sent his leg out. This sent Arik landing on his back. James went over and put his foot on Arik's chest and applied pressure. Arik screamed in agony. "Now go back to the shadows that you crawled out of and tell whoever if he insists on harming Rance, or any Towers relation, then they will personally answer to me." James then let his foot off of Arik's chest.

Arik got up and changed back into his wolf form and ran off into the wilderness. James felt a pat on his shoulder. "I'm proud of you James." Zang complimented.

"Well, some of that should go to you, cause without that training..." James was cut shortly.

"But if you didn't notice I never showed you some of those techniques. You have to thank your animal spirit." Zang winked at James.

By this time Rance and Vance turned into their human form. "I don't know what to say really, but thanks." Rance was still a little confused.

James pulled Rance closer to him and kissed him. "You're welcome." James then smiled after they unlocked.

"Hey where is my kiss?" Vance asked sarcastically.

James smiled and went over to Vance and slapped him on his ass. "There you go, a kiss on the ass for a smartass." James laughed.

"Hey what can you say, there's always room for us." Vance laughed back.

"Well, it is getting late, we should find the others and return to the manor." Rance suggested.

They all looked at each other and then shifted.

Back at the manor, James and Zang explained everything to Rance and Vance about James' spirit animal being a wolf and sensing they where in trouble and need their help. "Thank goodness for you animal spirit then, cause you probably wouldn't have seen us unless is was at a funeral." Vance remarked.

"Then after these powers awoken I'd have to bring you both back from the dead." James then added his remark.

Vance stood up, "I'm going outside to get some fresh air."

"Thanks sounds like a good idea, I'll go with you Vance." James followed Vance outside.

This stunned Vance. James closed the door behind him that led out to the patio. Vance looked up at the moon. "I loved the trick with the light earlier." Vance smiled.

"Vance look we need to talk about something." James started saying.

Vance looked over at James fearing the worse. "Listen, I know how you feel about me. I just wanted you to know, I'm cool with it." James admitted, "In a way it's flattering to know that two guys like me."

Vance clinched his hands into fist, "I knew that you heard me and Master Zang talking. After I found you in your room and seeing what you wrote, I knew you found out."

"Vance please, understand, I love all the people in my life. I know that Rance is my protector." James started to say.

"Rance is more then just your protector." Vance spun around to James, "He's your soul mate. Where I'm not."

"Oh Vance, I wish this wasn't so complex." James looked down at the ground.

"Come with me Vance, we are going to check something." James got an idea and grabbed Vance's hand.

"Be right back guys, gotta show Vance here something." James smiled as they came in the room.

They arrived in the study. James went over to the wall that had the drape on it and pulled it aside. Vance's eyes went wide, "It's the mirror."

"Yes, Rance showed it to me. He told me what it does, and we will use it for you." James said and then looked at the mirror.

"Now the question is to how to make it work." James had a puzzled look on his face.

Without even doing anything the mirror glowed. This both surprised James and Vance. James then slipped into a little bit of a trance, he heard words in his head. The glowing stopped and James come out of the trance. James took Vance's hand and put it on the mirror, "Show us Vance's soul mate."

The mirror glowed again. The mirror then went clear. "It's no use it didn't work." Vance turned around and went to the door.

The mirror then showed an image. "Hold on Vance Towers, get your butt back here." James said as he looked in the mirror.

"What James?" Vance asked and then looked in the mirror.

Vance just stared in the mirror. "See. There is your soul mate." James smiled.

Vance couldn't say a word. The mirror stopped glowing. "If that's my soul mate then why do I have these feelings towards you?" Vance asked out loud.

"Vance did you ever think that it might be this power in me?" James pointed out.

"It's possible." Vance said.

"Or could it be that you see Rance happy and you want to be happy so fooled yourself to fall in love with me?" James looked at Vance.

This struck a nerve in Vance, "Could have I fooled myself?"

"The heart can do strange things Vance. So can love. Remember love is blind." James said.

"You're right James. I felt jealous when Rance showed me you in the mirror, I wanted what he had. I looked for someone like you, but I wasn't satisfied, so I must have fooled myself wanting to love you." Vance realized.

"Vance we all care and love people that come in our lives, whether we like to admit it or not. I love you, Rance, and Master Zang all the same." James explained, "I'm glad to have you all in my life."

"Well, we'd better head back so they don't worry." Vance gave James a smile.

"I truly hope that you will be happy Vance." James smiled back.

"Don't worry about that, I will be." Vance punched James softly on the shoulder.

Bright and early the next morning was up and went down to the pool to swim a couple of laps before training. After drying and putting on his training clothes he went to the kitchen to grab something. "Morning James." Master Zang smiled.

"Morning Master." James nodded as he opened the cupboard and grabbed a bowl.

James went to the counter by the fridge and got a box of cereal then grabbed the milk from the fridge. "You're up early this morning." Zang remarked.

"I went to sleep right away, without having Rance's hands all over me." James smiled.

Zang chuckled and took a sip from his coffee cup. "Then are you up for training weapons?" Zang put his cup down and folded the newspaper.

"I'm ready as they come." James poured cereal and milk in his bowl and started eating.

Rance then walked in with just a robe on. James tried not to choke on what cereal was in his mouth. Zang tried not to bust out laughing and put the newspaper in front of his face. Rance was not fully functioning just yet to even notice he had a something standing straight out. He poured a cup of coffee and looked at the two and noticed their faces. "What's so funny?" Rance asked.

They both tried hard not to completely bust out with laughter. James finished his cereal and got up from the table. He rinsed the bowl out and went over to Rance and kissed in on the cheek and grabbed his crotch. With that Rance turned all sorts of shades of red. "Well Master should we get a early start and Rance could take a shower and join us a little later?" James smiled at Zang.

"That sounds like a good idea James." Zang finished drinking what coffee was left in the cup and left the kitchen with James.

Rance just stood where he was and drank his coffee.

Outside Zang had put several weapons to choose from to fight with. James saw a pair of sais and picked them up. "Nice choice James." Zang said as he picked up a pair of daggers.

James got in a fighting stance and started to spin the sais in his hands. He then shook his head. "Remember your animal spirit also guides you on your fighting style." Zang said.

"I'm not used to the whole animal spirit thing just yet, but eventually I will." James cracked a grin at Zang.

With this Zang processed to charge at James. The sound of steel hitting steel echoed as both of them blocked each other's assaults. James then tried to stab at Zang. Zang did a jump flip and went over James. James spun around and had the tip of the sai at the back of Zang's neck. James then stopped a sword that was swung from behind him. Zang then turned around after James moved the sai away form his neck.

James then turned around and saw Rance. "Are you done warming up, cause I'm ready." Rance smiled.

James smiled back and ran at Rance. Rance moved his body to avoid the tip of the sais. "You're not being very cooperative here." James remarked.

"Am I suppose stay still for you then?" Rance answered back.

"If it helps me get closer to your body, yes." James bobbed his eyebrows up and down.

Rance twirled his sword in front of James. James avoided this by doing backward flips. Rance came at a full run at James. The sword soon went flying into a tree near by and along with it a sai. James had the other sai pointing in the middle of Rance's chest. James then moved in closer and kissed Rance. This surprised Rance, but complied with the kiss. James wanted to Rance right then and there. Both of them heard cheering and clapping.

They unlocked their lips and looked over at Vance and Zang clapping. They both chuckled. "I'll get you sooner or later." James said to Rance.

"Is that a threat?" Rance asked.

"Let's say more of a guarantee." James smiled back at Rance and winked.

By the time training was over all four of the ached, soaked in sweat, and had a couple of bruises and scratched. "I don't know about everyone else, but I'm hitting the pool after a shower to relax these aching muscles." James said as they walked towards the manor.

James went right in the bathroom and started the shower, "If you wanted to join me all you had to do was ask dear boy." James looked over his shoulder at the cracked door.

The door opened the rest of the way and Rance stepped in the bathroom. He had nothing but a towel around his waste and a big old grin on his face. "Now can we pick up where we left off?" Rance moved James' naked body into his.

"Why I thought you'd never ask that question." James remarked and smiled.

Both could feel how hard each other were. They both were kissing wildly. James had his hand around Rance's towel and slowly took it off. The towel just fell to the floor. James moved them both against the wall. Rance then grabbed James' legs and supported James' lower body with his arms. James had his legs completely wrapped round Rance's waist, as the wall was his back support. "Let's move in the shower shall we." Rance said as he walked him and James into the stall.

The water splattered against their bodies and they continued to make out. James unwrapped his legs and put his feet not the floor. He then bent down and took Rance's hard on in his hands. Rance leaned his back and moaned a little. James slowly moved his hand up and down Rance's length. He stuck out his tongue and started to play with the head. Rance took in a deep breath, "Yeah..hmmmm."

James opened his mouth and let Rance's cock in. James started slowly breathing hard through his nose. Rance then put his hands on James' head pulling James' head in closer to his crotch. James continued to service Rance's cock for a couple of moments. Rance then pulled James up and leaned him against the stall wall. Rance didn't hesitate at all went had James' member in his mouth. James started to play with his nipples as the water sprayed on him. He looked down at Rance examining his work. "Oh fuck yes!" James hissed out in pleasure.

Rance continued to feed his mouth with James in him. James started to breath faster and harder. He was so close to climax his muscles in his legs started to spaz. "I'm close." James said.

With this Rance took James' cock out of his mouth and started pumping it. James grabbed Rance's hair in his hand at let out a loud moan. Rance tried to catch all of James' cum in his mouth making sure not to lose any. Rance stood up and James just leaned against the wall. James grabbed Rance around the neck and pulled him in. They kissed deeply. "Now it's your turn." James remarked as he started to pump Rance's dick.

Rance leaned on the other wall and let James do his duty. James took his index, and middle finger and massaged between the nut sack and Rance's hole. Rance took in air threw his teeth, making a hissing noise. James then just took the tip and started to suck. Rance could feel that he was getting close and started to thrust him in James' mouth. Moments later Rance's muscles tightened up as he blew in James' mouth.

James stood up and kissed Rance, letting him taste his own cum. Rance lick off some of his cum from the corner of James' mouth. "Now that is what I call relief from the training." Rance smiled and held James in his arm.

"You're tell me." James laughed.

"Suppose we should actually take a shower instead of using it for a get off place." Rance smiled back at James.

They both helped each other wash their bodies. With the process of lathering their bodies with the soap it caused them to get hard again. "We'd better get out of here so they don't suspect why we are in here for far to long." James said as he turned off the water and stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel and dried off.
