The group of wolves are lead through a portal that takes them into a different spatial dimension than where they began. This time, ahead of them is a large city with strange architecture. "Allow me to clear a few things up before we continue." The elf says. "This city is strictly for magical creatures only, its main purpose is to get you used to the outside world that the humans control. For this reason, we have decided to build a city with one of the most popular designs in the world today. This particular city uses Corinthian architecture popularized recently by the Greeks."
Scias rushes out of the group to get the best view of the city below. "This is very interesting. I can't believe that I have the opportunity to study cities from other realms. What kind if architecture did you say it was again?"
A guard pushes Scias back from the ledge of the cliff overlooking the city. "The tour isn't over yet."
"Before we continue into the city, I need
Fala stands knee-deep in a nearby river pondering what life would have been like if she had previously gone with her brother in the first place. Ria had lived a full life here, made a family of his own, and she wasn't there to see it. Just like life, the river keeps on flowing no matter what happens. Life is cruel that way, things die and everything around keeps on flowing ahead. Time stops for those who lose a loved one, but the world around them doesn't stop. Even though its been a week since Ria died, Fala's wounds still have not healed. She looks over her shoulder when she hears someone walking towards her. Fenrir approaches slowly knowing exactly what she is going through. "They told me that I would find you here." He says in a calm and caring voice. "I understand how hard it is to let go. They say time heals all wounds, that may be so, but just like physical wounds, they still leave a scar."Fala faces the river again not wanting to talk. Fenrir take
'My dearest Fenrir, the moment I saw you I knew I had to have you. Seeing someone like you take pity on some lowly humans who have had their lives ruined by the system, I just knew you were the one for me. At that time, I couldn't muster the courage to talk to you. I hid in the shadows and waited for the perfect opportunity to drink out of the same cup you did. I didn't know if it would work, but I wanted you to be the one to turn me into a wolf.' Cloven keeps trying to think of things to say to Fenrir to get him on his side while following him.'Your recruitment process to bring the wolves back to Fura isn't doing well. Following you throughout the day, so far I've seen that not a single one has accepted your proposal. If I wasn't the leader, I would follow you back in a heartbeat. Perhaps if I don't come off too strong this time, maybe he will be more fond of me.'Cloven returns to his duties after following Fenrir for the majority of the day. The paperwork the
Two days later in the human realm, the council elder elves who are in charge of making rules and act as a Supreme Court, call in Cloven for questioning. An insignificant matter to say the least, but one that could put Cloven's reputation. on the line.The council building is at the capital, a spatial dimension consisting of housing and offices for those in high power controlling and enforcing the laws put in place many years ago. Only those with clearance or invitations can enter such a space. Without it, it is almost impossible to enter.Cloven enters the council courtroom where he is surrounded by a half-circle table of council members. Guards line the room in case something happens, and all those who enter the council room are escorted by at least two guards as well. The elves primarily stick to the laws from their homeland, however, they have become more inclusive to this world and recognize the importance of cultural diversity in a world that doesn't b
The decision for Skoll to become a hunter was an easy one to make. None of the other jobs he had a chance to accept felt right for him. Instead of learning a new and useless skill, he decided to stick to what he is already good at.When presented with the idea of this job, they framed it as being a duty to help keep the peace between magical creatures and humans. Humans have little to no capability to use magic in this realm and are thus helpless. Of course, Skoll isn't doing this to help the humans, rather, the idea of fighting amuses him. When a magical creature is deemed a threat to humanity, they send hunters after them to eliminate the threat. However, the main thing Skoll is concerned about is all of the training and studying. Learning about new creatures and their weak points is crucial to this line of work.The varied influx of magical creatures in this realm pales in comparison to what they had in the land of Fura. It's almost like these creatures are dr
Darkness surrounds Fenrir as he hears a voice call out to him. The voice is faint, but slowly get louder each time it calls his name. "Who are you." Fenrir asks the voice. No response is given as Fenrir looks around searching for the origin of the voice.Minutes pass before he hears it again. "Why do you keep trying to help others?" the voice asks. "That's not who you are. That's not what you really want to do. I can give you what you want, you just need to let me take control.""Who are you?" Fenrir asks again in a calmer voice. "You don't know me as well as you think you do."The voice laughs at him. "Try to deny it all you want. What you really desire is to feed the beast within you, to let me take over and fulfill your lust for human flesh."Fenrir is starting to understand what this thing is. 'Am I going insane? Is my subconscious really talking to me?'"I can hear you. Why are you trying to fight me? We both know what
Skoll attends his first day of the Hunters class looking bored as the elf teacher explains how certain spells work. "For the new creatures that just arrived in this realm, I'm sure you have many questions. I'm sure you've noticed that you are able to speak and understand the native language here without having to learn it. This is thanks to the way the portals are designed to work. They aren't a natural phenomenon as some would like to believe."Skoll can hardly pay attention to the teacher's lectures as he would rather be out in the field hunting down monsters. 'Two weeks of this shit, then I have to complete the physical tests to determine my Hunter rank. I can't believe that some humans go to school for years just to learn how to do one job. They definitely have a better attention span than I do. I don't know why they would put themselves through hell like this for so long.'"The portals are thought to have been created by an ancient civilization who successfu
Cloven stands up as Fenrir enters his office after disappearing yesterday. Cloven considers asking Fenrir where he has been, but decides to let him speak first. "I'm looking to create my own spatial dimension so I can start training again. I need to go all out, and I just can't do it here."Cloven taps his claws on his desk frustrated by Fenrir's response. He was hoping that Fenrir would explain where he had been, instead, he is asking him for help. "I guess I don't have the right to have an answer to what happened last night. I'm just wondering what brought this on? I thought your priority was bringing down the Elven government and creating our own. I know your sick of our species having to bend the knee to others."Fenrir can see that Cloven wants to keep talking, but he doesn't give him the chance. "We can't afford to do that just yet. If we tear them down, his long would it take to build back up? No, we need to do this slowly.""I thought y
Lucia and the Elf have their disguises on as they reach the village to investigate the recent murders that keep taking place. According to the rumors that they have heard, bodies were found completely drained of blood. This means they are most likely dealing with a Vampire. However, Vampires aren't the only ones that drain their victims of blood.The most important clue are the two puncture marks that we're left on all the victim's necks. Those kind of wounds are only left by Vampires.As they enter the town on horseback, they can tell that this place has seen better days. There are wooden buildings that look like they haven't been maintained in years, and yet, it looks like people still live in them. Starving beggers are scattered throughout the village, they don't glance at the newcomers because they know they won't get any help."It's not a pretty sight is it?" The Elf casually says. "The only thing we can do to ease their suffering is to ri
Daren starts to fade in and out of consciousness. The pain is becoming too much for his body to handle. He stops screaming, and his body becomes numb. His brain severs the pain receptors. He lays there, getting sodomized to death. Dying this way never crossed his mind. How much damage has he done to her to make her this way? To even think about doing this to someone. Unforgivable. But these things happen all the time. We just choose to be ignorant of them for our sanity. "He's had enough." Fenrir says after seeing his body go limp. Alice is about to interject, but then she sees the same thing. He's dead. "Do you feel any better?" Fenrir asks her, already knowing the answer to that. She was enjoying herself, too much for Fenrir to be comfortable with. Then again. If he was in her position, he might have done something similar. Cloven comes to his mind. He still wonders why he let him live. "So soon?" Alice kicks his body to see if he is still alive. There's no sign of any life. "It
Despite all of the kicking and screaming Daren does, they continue to drag him outside and head for the river. "You brought this upon yourself." Alice berates him. "Bad dogs need to learn to shit outside." "Stop calling me that." Daren tries to hold back his anger. He doesn't want to make the situation worse. Then again, how could he? They're just going to kill him either way. "You know what? Fuck you. I should have beaten you harder when I had the chance." "This is what you get for going through life half-assed. If you're going to abuse someone, you might as well finish them off." Alice keeps berating Daren to get a reaction out of him. But Daren won't fall for it. He won't stoop to her level. He'll take this punishment like a man. This is nothing compared to getting his arm chopped off. What's a little cold bath going to do? When they reach the river, Fenrir asks Alice if she minds if he were to take a bath as well. He hasn't washed his fur since he came here. And she probably do
"What are we doing here?" Skoll says to Lucia and Fala, who have been coming to this bar every day after finishing their daily activities. "Shouldn't we be doing something?" Skoll takes a drink of his beer. He's on his seventh one. "You keep following Lucia and I. No one is forcing you to be here. In fact, we want you to leave." Over the past several days, Skoll has been getting on Fala's nerves with his excessive drinking. Always complaining about Fenrir. At this rate, she hopes he drinks himself to death. That would at least solve one of her problems. "Am I not good enough to fight the demon army by myself? Everyone thinks Fenrir can." Skoll orders a couple of shots, trying to drink himself into a drunken stupor. "I train hard every day, but I feel like I'm always one step behind him." "Skoll. Can Fala and I drink in peace? I understand where you're coming from. But this is getting ridiculous." Lucia tries not to use a harsh tone, but it comes off that way. She knows Skoll better
Fenrir bobs and weaves their fruitless attacks. Far to slow for any to hit him. Instead of going for the killing blows, Fenrir focuses on maiming them. Mainly going after the tendons in their legs so that they can't run away. One by one, they fall to the ground, screaming in pain and yelling for help. Fenrir is about to take out the last human of the group, but he stops short when he smells a familiar scent on him. Alice's scent. Then it hits him. This must be the guy she was talking about, the one who abused Alice in the first place. The one that caused her so much pain and suffering. The thoughts that race through Fenrir's mind are nothing short of sadistic. Wanting to see this human suffer more than the others. But this isn't his fight. Alice should be the one to take her revenge. He'll save him for her, to do what she deems necessary. A proper punishment for unforgivable crimes.This human just stares at him wide-eyed, scared that this violent creature might have something else mo
After two hours of walking, they reach their destination. Some old ruins that strangley resemble that of an old stone fort. Might have been a better option for the rest of the humans to take refuge in, but the crumbling walls are in need of a ton of work. Alice jumps up and down in excitement. Her dream is coming true. Becoming a werewolf, and maybe spending the rest of her life with one. Fenrir, on the other hand, doesn't find this place suitable for living in the long term. There's too much work to be done in a hostile place like this. It's overgrown with plants, on the verge of collapse, and their enemies are too close for comfort."We'll stay here for the night." Alice says enthusiastically. "I want you to impregnate me." If it wasn't for all the fur, she could easily see how much Fenrir is blushing. 'I thought she would be a little more classy than this. Women don't talk like this to guys they just met.'"Alice." Fenrir's voice shakes, still caught off guard by her words. "I thin
"What do you mean by that?" Fenrir asks, not understanding how a human doesn't find their own species attractive. "I guess that I'm just different from everybody else." She looks away from his eyes, trying to think of the right words to say as her heart flutters. "I've heard stories about werewolves, and I've always wanted to meet one since I was a kid." She looks into his eyes once again. I always wanted to be one.""Are you sure? Because I can turn you into one right now." Fenrir regrets saying that so soon. Her mind might not be in the right place. He'd rather wait until they are in a safe place where her mind is at ease. Then again, it would help her survive the storm. "After I do this, there is no going back." She hugs him tighter. She's made up her mind. 'Everything about him is comforting.' She doesn't mind that he has killed people, probably out of cold blood. This is something she has dreamed about since she could remember. Everything about this feels right. "I know." It's
"Come back here, Alice." One of them yells at her as if she would obey a command like that in a life or death situation. "We just want to play." Fenrir keeps chasing after them, trying to think of a plan. He wants to save Alice, but can he do it without giving himself away? He may not have a choice. Alice keeps running as fast as she can. She is running out of breath, but she knows that she can't stop. She knows that she is going to have to fight back or hide. She glances over her shoulder to see where they are. She quickly ducks behind a tree as she gets her bow ready and shoots it off quickly in their direction before taking off again. The arrow hits one of the men in the stomach, causing him to fall to the ground. As he screams in pain, the two other men stop to help him. "Don't pull it out." One of them yells. "We need to get him back to the doctor." "He won't make it." The other one says while the man keeps screaming. "We need to catch up to her. He's just going to slow us do
Lords of the fallen, great kings who had once held positions of power to become kings of nothing. Everything comes to an end at some point, but no one thinks that far ahead. Nor would they want to. No one would have thought that an entire world would succumb to a fate such as this. Whoever the survivors are that survived the tragedy, you can be sure that they didn't learn the lessons their ancestors did. Foot tracks. Fenrir stares at them, wondering if it is still a good idea to contact them. They might have been bombed into the stone age. They might be a cannabilistic tribe. Not like he cares, they can't do anything to hurt him. He decides to keep following the tracks, hoping that they will lead to their settlement. Light snow starts to fall, and it's not enough to cover the tracks, but he doesn't want to take his time either. He needs to find this place before the snow gets worse. If he can get there before the sun rises, he will be able to scout the area better without getting no
"It's been a long time." Cloven says to Fenrir after staring at eqchother for what seems like an eternity. "I just want to say that I don't blame you for what you did." Cloven's tone comes of as genuine. "I realized that I'm not a good person. I can't interact with others until I get better." Fenrir looks at him, confused by how he worded that. "So, are you saying that you aren't better yet? What have you been doing here?"Cloven wastes no time answering him. "I thought I was going to die from dehydration until I found that cave over there. Sometimes, the animals that live in their venture outside, that's how I found it."Fenrir rubs his face out of frustration, knowing where this is going. He wants to know if it's true, but he also knows that he is going to regret asking. "Let me guess. The reason that you know that you're not better is because you are having sex with the animals?" Cloven pauses for a moment, and Fenrir sees this as an admission of guilt. "Let me explain!." Cloven
