Several hours after the fight between Auton and the elves had begun, Cloven now stands in the middle of the council room after bringing all the wolves here from Fura. The dead remains of many elves scatter the floor, many of them scorched by the light magic Auron had used on them.
In the center of the room stand the last two fighters, Auron and an elf, both of who look like they are at their limit. "Well, isn't this a surprise." Cloven speaks to them in a demeaning tone. "The great Auron is having trouble, who would have thought? I was worried that you would have beat these weaklings so easily, but I guess I was wrong."
"Shut your trap you damn wolf. When I'm finished with him, you can be sure that you're next." Auron can barely stand at this point, his words mean nothing to Cloven who still stands confidently.
A dying elf crawls up to Cloven and grabs his leg. "Please help me, I don't want to die. My wife and kids are waiting for me at..." Cloven stomps h
"Cloven, what's happening here." One of the elves shouts, clearly terrified by what they are seeing. "Cloven, are you alright?" He asks when he doesn't answer his question. The elf shudders at his appearance, to him, it looks like this wolf has gone feral.The elf aims his spear at Cloven, just in case he attacks them. This is the first time they have seen a wolf act like this, his hands tremble at the sight of him. "Cloven, this is your last warning, we will attack if you don't stand down."Cloven lets out a low-pitched scream that seems to come from nothing but pure rage. His jaw snaps together with ferocity, his teeth clash against one another with enough force to break a man's arm.Cloven's magical ability is still affecting the elf behind him who is now holding the dagger against his throat again. Every fiber of his being is telling him to end his life, his conciseness is thrown into turmoil as he fights to stay alive. In the end, he is not able
Several days have passed since Fenrir ordered Cloven to bring the rest of the wolves back to this world. In this time, Fenrir has been keeping tabs on Sophia by not letting her out of his sight. Even after what had happened to her father, and the fact that she might never forgive him, he still feels the need to protect her.She can hate him for the rest of her life, but that won't change how he feels about her. Needing something to protect has given him a new purpose in life, a single driving goal to keep him from hurting others. It's not that he hasn't had a goal to protect others before, but a human is a different matter.Taking the form of a wild wolf has kept his profile low, as well as sticking to the outskirts of the city where she lives nearby. After attending the funeral of her late father, it's been hard for her to cope without him. Every time she goes to the to pick up supplies, she doesn't look anyone in the eye and keeps her gaze at the ground.
Instead of creating flames while training, Fenrir focuses on increasing his body temperature. There is no need to create combustion while training, especially while trying to keep a low profile. Of course, he and to do this all day and night, therefore, his magic needs to regenerate faster than he uses it. This also allows him to have full magic reserves in case there is a fight.The weeks had been uneventful up until now, but this day is different. Her father's death is making Sophia take chances she wouldn't normally have taken. Taking shortcuts down bad neighborhoods, and walking home through the woods in the middle of the night.While walking through the back alleys, two men had decided to rob her. They weren't waiting specifically for her since she wasn't wealthy, she had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Fenrir had considered helping her, but her life was not in danger and it would be odd for a wolf to come to the rescue.Af
Cloven paces back and forth near his office desk before turning his attention back to Skoll. "The fact is that we need someone like Fenrir to stand up and handle this situation. If it's not going to be you, then you need to bring Fenrir back here so he can do his fucking job." Cloven slams his fist against the table."You seem to know more about why he left than I do. Since you are our leader, you should be the one to bring him back here." Cloven gets angrier at Skoll the more he speaks."It would mean more coming from you. If I recall, you were always harsh on him, a little sympathy from you might be all he needs." Cloven tries to put the burden on Skoll. However, his words do resonate in Skoll's head. "I can't take time away from my desk, I need to be here if there's an emergency."Lucia puts her hand on Skoll's shoulder. "I think he's right. We need Fenrir, and you might be the only one who can bring him back." Skoll takes her hand off his shoulder and
'The start of the new beginning is about to come to fruition, or as others might say the beginning of the end. It really depends on how you want to look at it. For me, I have my concerns about this endeavor. The undertaking of the century or millennium if this all works out in our favor. Only time will tell if things play out as a love story, or as a tragedy.'"Could you pay attention to where you are walking?" Girod snaps at Cloven. "You almost ran into me because you decided it was a good idea to write and walk at the same time."Cloven gives him a glaring eye and decides to ignore him so he can keep on writing. 'A hero of this world, or a vigilante that causes harm on the way to save it? That is a question I ask myself every day of those in the future that will remember Fenrir's name. The superfluous adaptation of transcendence that surrounds his aura exonerates his egotistical nature. However, many of these mindless minions won't be able to see that. They onl
Cloven doesn't want to back down from his position and Girod can see that. "If you want to do this violently then I have no choice but to stop you." Cloven isn't a strong fighter by any means, so taking on Girod and possibly Fala at the same time would result in him losing."Fine." Cloven decides this isn't worth it, not that he would have been able to win anyway. 'I'll just have to force her to do it later when I Girod isn't around. I don't like the idea of doing that, but what other choice do I have.' Cloven's obvious scheming poster should be easily noticed by anyone, especially when he rubs his hands together and giggles slightly. However, Girod is too busy apologizing to Fala to notice.Cloven doesn't waste any more time to pretend to walk away and hide until the right moment. After Girod is done apologizing to Fala for Cloven's actions, he realizes that Cloven is gone and asks Fala if he saw him leave."I saw him head back to the city, that piece of
Day by day, Sophia becomes more suspicious of Fenrir's behavior when he starts to act smarter than a normal dog should. She starts to separate herself from him, and Fenrir takes notice of this. He knows that this isn't like her, she had always wanted to be near him because she had a hard time getting over the death of her father. Sophia starts to suspect that the werewolf she saw that day is the dog that she had been so fond of these past weeks. She knew this was an unsupported claim, but she couldn't shake this feeling that it is him. Then, one day she couldn't take it anymore, she had to confront him no matter how insane she looked by interrogating a dog. She had to dispel all of her doubts about him if she wanted to get any sleep at night. Not wanting to beat around the bush, she walked straight up to him to ask. "I know who you are, you can stop playing dumb and reveal yourself." She doesn't get a response from Fenrir, who thinks he can dispel her suspicions. However, she doesn't
"You better not tell anyone about what happened." Fenrir raises his voice at Cloven as they walk out of the cabin. "In fact, we should burn this place to the ground."There is a sudden brustling in the bushes nearby. Fenrir and Cloven instantly turn to see what's making the noise. Fala walks out into the open, not looking very happy, Cloven takes a few steps back trying to hide behind Fenrir. "I finally found you, now come here so I can castrate you." Fala yells."That might not be a bad idea." Fenrir says as he turns his head to look at Cloven. "You are a bad influence on me." "Hey, leys not get any ideas here." Cloven says as he backs away. "I like my balls right where they are. Besides. I helped Fenrir get his motivation back." "Really!" Fala says sarcastically. "And how did you manage to do that?" Cloven looks at Fenrir who seems to be more scared of the truth coming out. "We had sex, and now we're in love." Cloven says, thinking that Fala wouldn't hurt Fenrir's lover. Fenrir a
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
