When the giant spider ran toward him, Raholin couldn't do anything, but pray. He hadn't prayed a lot in his life, he simply didn't care too much about it, but in that moment, seeing the death run fast toward him, he suddenly understood why the people used to pray God in moments like that.
Luckily, God shouldn't be angry with him, as he decided to save him from death via Wolfang, who jumped in front of him, stopping the giant spider's run and beginning its own fight.
For some moments, Raholin stood there, powerless, his mind full with every kind of thought.
He didn't know what to do, even if he was trained as a soldier, he was used to fight against humans, no one ever taught him how to fight against that sort of giant monster. Moreover, he was an infighter, but he was almost sure his fists wouldn't even hurt that giant spider.
He had to use his magic, that was his only chance, but he never did it before, and he's first attempt didn't go as he would have expected.
So, he tried to remember what Holen said him and the exercises they did together, trying not to feel sorry for what happened to him.
Hardly fighting against the sadness those memories recalled, he didn't find any kind of use of his magic he could use in such a similar situation. At the end, all that training was finalized to use his magic without being noticed, and that was the last of his worries in a moment like that.
"Wolfang!". While he was thinking, he suddenly heard Ahuzanel's shout and, looking to the giant wolf, he saw too its blood running down its fur. Raholin turned his head toward the spirit, he seemed to be shattered, it was as if he was praying, even if Raholin couldn't hear what he was saying.
-Enough, I can't let him down this way, I'm a fighter, I must do something!- Shouting in his own mind to give him some strength, Raholin focused on his magic again and generated two small wind streams around his feet, as Holen taught him. Then, using the power of his wind, he ran toward the spider and he quickly jumped toward him, delivering a powerful flying kick right to the spider leg.
However, even if his strike had been powerful, it didn't hurt at all the giant spider, but once again, he just made him angry. Turning its head toward the defenseless boy, the spider raised one of his legs, aiming right to his head.
When Raholin saw that sharpen claw falling toward him, he instinctively raised his hand to stop it, without thinking how useless his soft hands could be against it.
However, it was his lucky day.
Wolfang, in fact, saw the opportunity and, jumping against the falling leg, he bit it fiercely with its sharpen fangs, until he finally ripped it off from the spider's body.
The monster hissed in pain and anger, swinging his remaining paws in every direction, and one of them reached Raholin torso before he could be able to avoid it.
Falling to the ground, Raholin felt the blood slipping on his skin, but he kept on rolling to the ground to take some distance from the monster, trying not to care about the pain.
And then, Ahuzanel's voice spoke in his head. He got astonished at the beginning, he almost forgot he was a magic creature, but when he raised his eyes and finally saw his friend, he got speechless.
Ahuzanel's transformation was astonishing, Raholin could hardly say it was the same person as before, as different as he was. His face had gone, replaced by a pointy beak, and his arms and his feet too, as they changed into sharp claws. His feather were glowing has he never saw before, a warm purple light that wiped out the darkness around him.
When he saw how Ahuzanel had changed and how fiercely he was fighting against that monster, he became more confident and, rising again his fists, he circled them with crackling flames and he run against one of the spider's legs.
Raholin knew his attacks wouldn't damage the monster, but he could provide some distraction, giving Ahuzanel and Wolfang the chance to strike it deadly. So, he grabbed its paw right before it got up and, clinging it with all his strength, he kept on burning his own hands with his magic.
The spider surely felt the heat, as it started swinging the leg to try to throw Raholin away, but his grasp was strong and he won't surrender so easily.
"Go, take the chance and hit him!".
