After a while of dragging the dead corpse, Skoll lets go of the rope and sits down due to being exhausted. "I need to take a break." 

"Fine, but we continue in ten minutes." Fenrir says. 

Luna sits down as well, leaning up against a tree. She is just as exhausted as Skoll is, but doesn't want to show it. 'It's good to finally take a short break. Fenrir seems to be worried about something and wants to get home quickly. This isn't like him, I remember when he never worried about anything. I dont like seeing him like this, I want him to be how he used to be.'

Fenrir sits down, still holding the rope looking around for any signs of danger. His fear of not being strong enough to protect his siblings was driving him insane. 'We shouldn't stay out here for longer than we need to. I dont know why I'm feeling this sense of dread coming over me. We've been out here before, but this time it feels different.'

Skoll looks like he is about to fall asleep. 'I'm so tired, why can't I be a morning person like the rest of my family? No, even better, why can't they be a night owl like I am? At least then I wouldn't have to wake up so early.' 

A few minutes later, Fenrir stands up and stretches his limbs to loosen his tense muscles. "Alright, it's time to get going."

Skoll stands up quickly and interjects. "It hasn't been ten minutes yet. Even though I'm half asleep, I can still tell how much time has passed. Look Fenrir, I think you're in too much of a hurry to get back home when there is no reason too."

Luna stands up as well. "I agree with Skoll, you seemed worried about something and that's why you want to get home in a rush." 

Fenrir would never admit that he was scared of the dangers that could befall them in these woods. Being out here even if they are relatively close to home, is still like being out by themselves in the real world. But he wasn't scared of what would happen to him, he was afraid of what could happen to his siblings. "The less time we spend out here the better. We should be getting home where it's safe."

"Why wouldn't it be safe out here? No humans come into the forest this far, in fact, we have never seen a human before unless you count mother who is in a human form." Luna says.

Fenrir starts to get angry at her arrogance. "You dont know that. One day we might run into one out here, the more time we waste out here the better our chances of seeing one are. Suriel told me it was my job to keep you all safe out here, and that's what I'm trying to do." 

"Why would you call mother by her first name? You never did that before. Something is definitely bothering you, and you need to tell us what it is."

"Fine, you really want to know. Suriel keeps telling us about all of the dangers that could happen if the humans found out about us. And yet she hasn't taught us how to use magic to defend ourselves with. Yes, I know energy control is important to master first, but letting us hunt like this on our own is insane." 

"I think you're just scared, Mother knows what she is doing. You need to trust her, there are no humans around here with enough magical power  that we couldn't handle with simple weapons."

Luna was right, Fenrir was scared of what could happen to them out here. However, she was also right about humans around this village not having powerful magical power. The average human in Fura, mostly uses magic for everyday chores and to get their jobs done faster. Fenrir's fear of the dangers he thought could happen, is making him lash out at Suriel for not teaching them magic yet.

"Do you ever wonder if Suriel really loves us? Sure she saved our lives and raised us, but she isn't our real mother, the only reason why she saved us is that she felt sorry for us."

Luna looks at him like she didn't know who he was anymore. "How can you say that? Of course, she does, do you realize how much she sacrificed in order to keep us safe?" 

Skoll walks over to Luna and stands beside her. "Luna is right Fenrir, but I understand what your saying. However, just because we aren't related by blood doesn't mean she loved us any less."

Fenrir realized he is acting out towards Suriel unreasonably, and doesn't want to upset his siblings.  "I dont want to argue with the two of you. I guess I'm just directing my frustrations towards our mother. Let's just drop all of this and head home." 

"Now you're starting to sound like yourself again. Yeah, let's head home." Luna says. 

It takes an hour to drag the animal back home. As they are reaching their destination, they notice thst something is wrong. As they watch the house from within the woods surrounding the house they see what looks like armed soldiers. Most of the soldiers wear chainmail armor, a shield with a raven logo on it and a spear in their hand. There is one that stands out from the rest, a mage wearing robes with a raven logo on the back and a hood covering their head.

As Skoll and Fenrir watch in confusion, Luna is the first one to speak. "Who do you think they are, and what do they want?"

Fenrir responds in a calm voice. "Whatever they are doing here can't be good. We need to stay out of this and watch from a distance." 

Skoll seems frustrated at his idea of staying out of this. "What about our mother, if they mean her harm we can't just sit back and do nothing." 

Fenrir grabs Skoll by his shirt. "And what can we do against that army? I agree that we may have to help her, but we have to be smart about this and wait for the right opportunity." 

This is exactly what Fenrir was afraid of, but he never expected humans to come looking for them. 'Where is Suriel? Have they already gotten to her already?' 

While they were trying to figure out what to do, a figure was approaching them from behind, wearing the same mage robes like the other one they saw. "Well, what do we have here." Startled, the wolves turn around as a female mage approaches them. "So the rumors are true, there are such things as humanoid wolves." 

Without hesitation, Luna brings her bow up to shoot her, but Fenrir is quick to act putting his hand on her arm forcing her to lower her bow.

The mage smiles at Fenrir. "You're a smart pup aren't you? It seems you noticed the difference between our strength, to be able to sense magical power at such a young age is impressive." 

'What is she talking about?' Fenrir thought to himself. 'Is that the feeling that I'm getting from her? Is that why I started getting the feeling that something was wrong before? I started freaking out because I can sense magical energy?'

"I must apologize, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Elenor Hallway, Master Rank 1 of the kings army." She points to a green-dyed horsehair tassel wrapped around her robes indicating her rank. "I'm sure the three of you have some questions, but before I answer any of your questions I have a few of my own. Why dont the three of you come with me and get this mess sorted out."

The wolves realizing the situation that they are in, agree that they don't have a choice but to do what she says. Eleanor leads them out towards the soldiers, motioning to them that their job is done here. She leads everyone towards the village of Kalda, the soldiers following close behind the wolves keeping a close eye in them. 

Luna leans close to Fenrir and whispers to him. "What do you think they want with us?"  

Keeping his eyes forward Fenrir answers her. "I dont know. But we should consider ourselves lucky that they haven't killed us yet. If they wanted us dead they would have done it already."

As they approach the village, the local townsfolk stop the work they are doing to watch and stare at the approaching soldiers and the wolves they are escorting. The village is a small one with only a few hundred residents, there are a few markets set up selling various goods from food to everyday needed items. This is the first time the wolves have been in the village. This is also the first time they have seen it, because they have been warned by Suriel not to venture too close to the village.

Elenor stops at the village inn and motions to the wolves to enter. After they open the door and walk inside, they notice the place is void of any local townspeople and is instead inhabited by a few soldiers and what looks like another mage with the same raven logo on their robes. "Ah, you finally found them haven't you Elenor. Good work, that didn't take too much time at all. Now we can finally get to business." 

The wolves look at each other in confusion, trying to process the situation. Skoll at this point can't keep himself calm as his hands are shaking. 'This can't be good. Where is Suriel? I just want to go home.' 

Luna notices Skolls inability to calm himself down, and tells him that everything will be fine. Fenrir, on the other hand, keeps his composure knowing that it's for his own good that he doesn't show any weakness.

The mage in the inn gets up from his chair and addresses the wolves. "Don't worry, none of you are in trouble, right now we just want to ask you a few questions."

    "Before we continue, I'm sure you have a few questions of your own, now would be the time to ask them."Luna is the first one to step forward. "Where is our mother, and what do you want with us?""Before I answer that, I must introduce myself first. My name is Mortas Naxxremis, I am a mage Master Rank 2 in the king's army, and the current commander of this division known as Raven Shield."Mortas moves closer to Luna. "As for your so-called mother, she is being escorted to the capital city known as Hitara. Your mother as you call her, will be put on trial for the crimes she committed.""Crimes? What are you talking about? She hasn't done anything wrong.""That's where you are mistaken." Mortas pulls a chair close to him and sits down. "This is going to take longer than I thought.

    Skoll follows Elenor as she walks to one of the rooms that the inn uses for its customers. The door has the number seven engraved on a gold metal plate, indicating that this is room seven. She opens the door and walks in with Skoll following close behind. The room itself, consists of any normal room thst an inn would have, a bed, a nightstand with a candle, and pictures hanging on the wall."Please take a seat." She says motioning to one of the two extra chairs that they had brought in beforehand. Skoll sits down looking nervous."Alright, I just need to ask you a few questions." Elenor says as she sits down."How long is this going to take?" Skoll asks her."As long as it needs to. Try not to look so nervous, there is nothing to worry about.""How can I not be nervous.

    "Please have a seat." Elenor says as she smiles at Luna. "I must say that your pure white fur looks gorgeous.""Thanks." Luna says with a smile as she sits down on the chair across from Elenor."Now then let's get down to business. Alright, Luna why don't you tell me about yourself.""I not sure what to say. I guess I would start by saying that I like practicing archery, in fact, I'm getting really good at it.""Yes, so I've heard. Suriel told me that you're better than most humans at it, that's very impressive for someone your age. Although it might be easier for you since you're not human, from what I've heard you pups have better reflexes and hand-eye coordination."Luna didn't expect Elenor to be so nice to her. 'So this is why Skoll said it wasn't so bad.'"Tell me about your brother Fenrir, what is he like?""I would call him a loner, at least more recently he has been keeping to himself more. Earli

The three wolf siblings are hitching a ride in one of the wagons the soldiers brought, that had previously been used to carry supplies for their journey to Kalda.The wagon has no seats and is a bumpy ride. The wolves are having trouble getting comfortable for the long journey ahead. "How long did they say it could take to get there." Skoll asks.Luna responds to him while trying to get into a comfortable position. "They said it would take a week.""An entire week of dealing with this bullshit." Fenrir says. 'I would have liked to concentrate on training my magical aura while on this trip, but I guess that's not happening, at least not while riding in this.'Fenrir turns his head and looks at Skoll.

    A scream is heard echoing throughout the camp, everyone is quick to stop what they are doing to find out what's happening. Mortas is the first one to discover the grim scene, a soldier torn apart from the torso lying in a pile of blood. The face of the fallen soldiers has a terrified look, almost like he knew he was going to be killed. Looking up from the soldier into the woods, Mortas sees a pair of red eyes staring back at him."Everyone, prepare for a fight, we're are under attack." Mortas yells.A stream of orange flames approaching Mortas catches him off guard, but fortunately, he puts up a magical barrier in front of him just in time. The barrier shining blue even in the dark of night as the flames pass around it barely avoiding the soldiers standing behind him. The fire stops and a large black figure takes to the sky and Mortas finally figures out what it is. "Just as I feared, its a wyvern. Everyone take cover, Elenor back me up, Gabriel make sure t

    Mortas continues his battle with the wyvern. Being an elemental type mage gives him the advantage in a fight against an opponent that can only use fire. However, since the wyvern is flying in the air Mortas has to resort to long-ranged attacks. By combining wind and water he creates ice crystals which he molds into spears and shoots them at the enemy. This has caused him to lose a good portion of his energy and he has not been able to hit it yet. 'When fighting a monster that has an advantage in the air the best option is to make it a close-range fight. That is easier said than done. There must be a way to get it to land.'"Elenor, we need to make this a close-ranged battle. It won't land by itself, we need to coordinate our attacks and focus on hitting its wings so it can't fly.""Alright, just tell me what I need to do."'Elenor is a nature mage. Which means she focuses on healing spells and mid-ranged attacks. She can manipulate the surrounding tr

Now then where were we?"Just then Fenrir's body starts to move. Dark aura starts to surround him as he stands up. 'It's been far too long since I've been in the human realm.'Luna looks concerned by Fenrir's new form. "Fenrir, is that you?""No, you stupid bitch, Fenrir is no more. My name is Zel'guul, but you can call me Zel for short. That kid was stupid enough to let me use his body as I please, and now I can wreak havoc upon this world once more."The orc steps up to fight Zel. "Just because you got a little power-up doesn't mean you can defeat me and my minions. Goblins attack him.""Don't get too cocky just because you think you're some big shot around here.

    Mortas waits for Zel to attack again keeping calm and alert. Then he sees it, the slightest moment from Zel and Mortas knows that he is coming. Since Zel Is too fast for Mortas to react, he has to rely on his battle experience to foresee his attacks by observing the slightest movements from Zel's muscles. 'I have to use the rest of my energy to make the shield as strong as possible to withstand this attack. It will be up to Fenrir after this to take control and end this.'As Zel closes in he uses his momentum to jump while digging his claws into the shield slowing him down and lands behind Mortas. After realizing what just happened Mortas quickly turns around to use his remaining magic to attack Zel. However, it's too late, Zel thrusts his arm through Mortas's chest just as Mortas puts his hand up to attack."If you attacked me when you had the chance to might have won the fight."

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?

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.

    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

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.

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.

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?"
