However, as my senses became more acute, I understood that I was still very much alive.Not in her regular shape but rather as a display of her real power, the Moon goddess stepped in front of me.

    The rate at which the pack members fell sick was alarming and it was evident that the workload for each doctor's assistant was unbearable. I thought about how I could offer a solution that would relieve everyone a bit so I decided that some maids which were not affected by the strange disease should be allowed to assist us in the clinic. I informed the pack's doctor about it before taking such a step. He agreed and was happy that I came up with that idea. The maids worked nonstop, their commitment constant, assuring that those in our care had all they required, as well as comfort and cleaning. The doctor of the pack, a beacon of knowledge and generosity, expressed his appreciation for our help. "Scarlett, your maids have been a tremendous help," he added, his voice full of gratitude.
