Chaos

The entire hall erupted in chaos as they all let what Indrik said sink in. No one had ever said no to what the Council ordered, and Indrik had said that today, shocking everyone who was present.

Beta Green was the first person to snap out of his shocked state, he was furious at Indrik.

“What do you mean no?!” He thundered. He was outraged that Indrik had said no to something the council had decided.

“I mean. No, Luna won’t be getting punished,” Indrik answered. He had brought her here after a lot of efforts and he wasn’t going to let them punish her for something he did.

“I would be taking my punishment and hers as well,” he announced, and everyone gasped in shock.

Beta Green looked at Luna whose face showed surprise, then turned his attention back to Indrik.

He wondered the relationship between this two and why Indrik had come home with her.

Does he plan on taking responsibility of her too?

Luna turned to Indrik in shock, surprise written on her face. Yes, Indrik brought her here himself, but him taking a punishment that was meant for her was uncalled for.

“Indrik,” She called his name softly, with the intention of letting him know that she could take care of herself but he shook his head.

“It’s fine. Let me take responsibility for you and my actions,” Indrik had already made up his mind.

He couldn’t let his master suffer just after she came into his oack.

He didn’t regret the decision he has made and if given the chance to, he would repeat it.

Blaire, who was his childhood friend was infuriated by this. She knew how terrible the dungeons were. Everyone knew how terrible they were. It was hard for a werewolf to survive in their dungeon, not to talk about Indrik who was merely a human at this point.

She opened her lips, about to voice her concerns when Indrik spoke again.

“Please, I was the one who brought her here. She didn’t want to come, but it took a lot of convincing. It would be terrible of me to let her get punished after bringing her here. She Is my responsibility,” Indrik pleaded with the Council and they discussed amongst themselves.

“Very well, if that is what you want,” Beta Green answered.

He still found it strange that Indrik was willing to sacrifice himself for a girl that he had just met. The dungeons was somewhere that even he wouldn’t want to be in and yet Indrik was more than willing.

The punishments had been decided.

The moment Beta Green had spoken, voices could be heard protesting against that.

Indrik didn’t have to serve for another person. He was already weak as it was and him going there was the same as him asking for death.

Blaire shook her head in horror, she stepped up to the Council along with a few other who were also Indrik’s friends.

“Indrik wouldn’t be able to survive in the dungeon. Please revoke your punishment,” She pleaded but the council had already made up their mind.

“This was not our decision but his. He needs to learn to take responsibility for everything he does,” Another council member spoke up.

They initial didn’t want Indrik to go to the dungeons, but since the boy had spoken, who were they to try and stop him?

And as it was, it didn’t seem like Indrik was going to listen to them.

“But–” Blair spoke up one more time but Beta Green silenced her with his hand.

Her disapproval for this wasn’t going to change the fact that Indrik had wanted it and even if they had said no, Indrik wasn’t going to rest until he got them to agree.

“Our decision is final. Nothing else could be done about it,” Beta Green said, much to the dismay of Blair and the others.

Beta Green could tell that Indrik has made up his mind and them trying to stop him would be futile.

“I’d come see you immediately I’m done with this. Wait for me,” Indrik’s voice was heard and Blair spun around.

How could she make him change his mind? She wondered.

What could she do to make him stop this madness he was just about to display.

Her eyes fell on Luna who was standing there stunned and she gritted her teeth in anger.

Her! This was all her fault.

And the fact that Luna stood there shocked, letting Indrik take everything made her even more upset.

Blair stormed to Indrik, pushing Luna to the side with her shoulders.

Luna stumbled as she tried to find her footing. She looked at Blair, confused on why she had pushed her.

Indrik wanted to move to Luna but Blair stood before him, stopping him.

“Indrik you don’t have to do this. You know how the dungeons are. And you know you don’t have a wolf so don’t do this,” she pleaded, hoping to change his mind.

Indrik was indeed aware of the amount of people that had died inside there, and all of them had their wolves.

The dungeon was designed to break even the strongest of the strongest. Someone like him wouldn’t even survive there. But Indrik was willing.

He seemed set on taking the punishment for Luna.

He had done everything to find his master, and when he was out, he would take the path of unlocking his wolf.

To him that was his main concern.

“I’m sorry, but I have to do this,” Indrik said apologetically, hoping that they would understand.

“Please take care of Luna till I’m out,” Indrik pleaded with his friend before the guards came to take him away.

Blair turned to Luna, an angry scowl on her face.

“This is all your fault,” she said angrily.

Luna understood where the anger was coming from but she still tried to speak up

But before she could, Blair turned around and stormed off

Leaving her all alone in an unknown environment .

“Just great,” she thought.
