 *Soleil*

 “The others from my coven have been asking for you. They thought it was a shame you didn’t come for the harvest party”. Mark gives me a big hug as I step into his apartment.

 I freeze for a moment, before getting my composiour back.

 “It was a lot of fun at the solstice thing, but I have started doubting if it is the right thing for me”. I try getting around the subject.

 “Sounds exciting. So where have you ended up then ?” The slumps down on the couch.

 “Realising that it is complicated. I have kind of given up on finding why and who. I think I see it more as a big corporate company, where all the gods sit at a long conference table discussing the world”. I giggle and sit down on his office chair.

    *Soleil*It is past ten when I walk home from Mark and when I reach the train station I walk past a rather dangy bar. Not one of those modern cafe-like places with tapas and imported beer. No… one of those dirty, smelly places, where the... not too reputable people hang out. The only food they serve is a grilled cheese sandwich and a bag of chips if you are lucky.I am a boring sensible mouse, remember ? I stop, looking through the open door.A couple of older men with greasy hair and bushy beards are hanging on the bar discussing something. My eyes follow the row of dirty windows. There is a second open room in the back with a pool table.“Hmm it might be time for me to learn how to play pool”. Excitement and fear mix in my stomach, giving me chills.You don’t dare.. I take

    *Luca*“I have gotten an answer on the mail I sent to that guy in Ireland. His name is Gunnar Holmvik”. Andres is stuffing the last bit of dinner in his mouth as he pulls out his tablet. “He writes the sickest things about how it was before the vikings and stuff. Did you know that back then it was an honour to give birth to a son with the ability to change into a wolf ? It made him a great warrior and he was almost guaranteed to die in battle”. Andreas looks excited, the rest of us are looking at him confused. “To be resurrected as einherjar and get a spot in Odin’s army at Ragnarok of course”.“So there were werewolves in viking times to make warriors for ragnarok ?” My father looks at the homepage. “That sounds like a fairytale Andreas, not something we c

    *Luca*“Nope, not feeling anything this time either”. Andreas pulls at the chain around his wrist. “Either I have become a superhero or they are very literally about having to be 16 first”.“Shut up !” I sner at him with a voice that is no longer my own.I collapsed on the ground and can't suppress a pained sob as my body pulls itself apart and into a shape that isn’t naturel. It surprises me that it’s over so soon. When I open my eyes I realise that I am still myself mentally. The wolf is pulling at me and my brain is going crazy with impulses that I have a hard time not giving into, but I am at the control panel. For now. I shake my furry body and get up.

    *Luca*My dad and Martin have gone up to Scotland to hunt this time. It has been a while, especially for dad. I know I am probably the reason for most of the aggressions my father needs to run off. At least there is some peace at home while it lasts.On the last night of the full moon I got so much control of myself that I experimented with changing back and forth several times. The wolf is still too much in control though and I can’t maintain my human form very long. The changes exhausted me, so in the end I let the wolf stay and sit down.I have way too much time on my hands now when I am mentally there all night. But Jonas won’t let me out of the chains. He still believes that a lonely jogger could make me lose control or the slightest

Damn I hate to lie. “But what am I to do while you are gone ?” He complains. “Uh don't you have like.. a huge club Empire to run or something ?” “Well, I do.. but still”. “If it gets too bad then send me a text, and

I put the last plates away and bring my tea out to the porch where Siri is sitting.“How are you holding up my dear ?” She asks me as soon as I have sat down.“Have you been messing around in my head ?” I tab at my temple. “Or has Gudrun been talking ?”“I don't need to.

    *Soleil* The next second Gudrun and Marta are there. I don't even have time to realise what is going on. It is all over so fast and I hear a dumb sound as the hamram hits the floor. I try collecting all my powers, trying to get up on my knees, but I slip in my own blood and collapse on the floor moaning. “It is dead. I have called for Siri to come quick”. I hear Marta’s voice. “Help me get her up on the table”. The burning feeling is nothing compared to the flaming sword plowing through my back as they lift me. I scream out loud. When they get me flat down on my stomach the pain is luckily dulled somewhat. “I’ll get the bag”. I hear Gudrun run off for the hallway. I sob when Marta pulls off my cape and shirt. “Shh I know, but you have to lie still, I need to

    *Soleil* "Oh! I never thought we would get away from Scotland”. I kick off my shoes and throw the backpack on the floor. "It was getting cramped up there”. "We're getting ok at it actually”. Luca closes the door to the small apartment and slams the lock. "We handed out some serious ass kicking” I huff. "Yes, we could win every time if you did not try to decide it all”. "You can just accept that I'm always right”. He grins. "I do when you realize that it's not about being right, but about what works !" I star defiantly up at him, but surrender as he pulls me into him. "I'm just happy you came back”. He bends down and kisses me. "So am I". The butterflies flutter joyfully inside me, and I pull him down in a deeper kiss. I twist my fingers into his tousled mocha brown hair and indulge in the feel of his lips and exploratory tongue. “Well, what do you say ? English or history ?” He withdraws and deftly avoids my aggrieved gaze. "Seriously ? You want us to read our hom

    *Narrator* “Magnificent !” The lord of the wind's eyes shone with obvious joy. “I could not have done thatbetter myself”. "You were entrusted to bestow on this man your strength, and now this !" The lady of the earth thrust her arm out against a settlement, engulfed in flames. "We were just letting out a little smoke". The lord of the fire grumbled. "We just happened to realise that If humans do not gather as a people, then they will never overcome the brood and not at all the queen”. “It might very well be right. But this is not the solution”. She sighed heavily. “They were meant to live happily, not to be subjected to more tyranny”. A small lake began to trickle up from the ground beneath them and manifested itself in a figure like the other three. "It's over”. The lady of the water said. “There is no hope anymore. Tonight they will gather, and your kinship will be wiped out”. "Oh, I can not get air". The lord of the wind sobbed with laughter. "Very funny !" Snarled the fir

    *Tjalfe* The villagers have never seen Hrazgouls so close before. Only a few, fleeting glimpses have been had. They always come after the Bakorshas have finished emptying their prey of blood, to eat the remains. In the morning, when the residents venture out into the daylight, there are only pieces of clothing, shattered bones and stinking piles of entrails left in rust-red stains on the ground. When one of them has tried to escape over the mountains, the remaining ones do not even get to see the Bakorshaer’s servants before the death cry of the fugitive resounds across the valley. Now they come in between the houses. One being more abominable than the next. Giant beasts with luminous, yellow eyes, whose long gaps flashes with large serrated rows of teeth. Their upright bodies were covered with dense coarse fur, while the broad shoulders and long, bulging arms end up in a paw-like hand so large that it could effortlessly crush the skull of a man. In between them comes smaller cre

    *Tjalfe* Although darkness reigns behind the houses, it is easy to find the victim. The child’s screams drive Saren forward, and the fire blazes furiously in his hand. He finds the child just as life leaves the body. Like a breastfeeding infant it lays the arms of a Bakorsha, whose teeth sit deeply buried in the child’s thighs. With an insane scream, Saren sends a long beam of fire towards the monster. The heat is so high that it instantly sets both the Bakorsha and the child corpse on fire. When the last rays leave Sarens hand, both fall on the ground, charred and annihilated. The embers reveal the next victim and her assailants. It is the child's mother who lays helplessly on the firewood block while one of the dark ones brutally mates her and rips her flesh to blood with its dirty nails. Three others are biting into her arms and neck, where they greedily empties her of blood. Saren raises his hands to obliterate the creeps and free the woman from her afflictions, but nothing h

    *Tjalfe* Malicious laughter and agitated voices intrudes in the dark, first from the west, but gradually the sounds spread until they surround the whole village. Bringing promises of carnage and death. The people flee back out of their houses, and all search for the relative safety of the fire. Quickly they get their torches lit and turn front towards the enemy, who is still hiding in the shelter of the darkness. Only now do they become aware thatthat their medicine man stands among them without a torch. The fear of Bakorsha had for a moment made them forget the new danger that had manifested itself in their midst, but then the burning house begin to give in to the ravaging of the flames, and it seems to dawn on them what they had witnessed as they scouted out the windows. Those closest to the medicine man hurried awayfrom him. This is a mistake and part of me wants to warn them, but it is too late anyway, and a shadow flies past and grabs one of the men. His howl is drowned

    *Tjalfe* I am watching from my spot inside the storm, watching as things unfold below me. The people look up at the storm, which suddenly hangs over their heads. Panic and confusion arises in the village. Everyone let go of what they have in their hands and run into the middle of the square to seek shelter around the bonfire. Humans are no longer one, they have been divided by fear, and everyone care only to keep himself and his offspring alive. Everyone pushes and hustles to get closest to the fireplace andfarthest from the edge of the circle, for now that the sun's rays are hidden behind the heavy slate-gray clouds the Bakorshas will arrive prematurely. In the middle of the village a large bonfire is burning, and torches have been laid nearby, so they can be quickly ignited. The people has learned that the Bakorshas are not enthusiastic about fire, and that it sometimes happen that the sharp-toothed monsters will abandon the attack and instead throw themselves at another vict

    *Tjalfe* The valley is a beautiful, small oasis between the high mountains, which in its time had attracted the inhabitants. They had lived in peace and perfect harmony. The mountains had shielded them from the worst winds, so the crops were diverse and the people of the city had never experienced distress. The only entrance to the village is an opening to the west where the surrounding mountains remain broken by a narrow passage. The view over the pass makes it possible to detect travelers coming from distant parts of the continent in good time, and show them hospitality. No one knew of anything but tolerance and no one dreamed that travelers could come up with anything but peace. It ended when the dark ones came. From then on, the valley became a prison for the people. During the day they were trapped, and at night they were harvested like grapes on stalks. There was no way out off there, all passable roads were blocked by Hrazgouls, the servants. Many had tried to flee, but eac

    *Lefu* A tear rolls down my cheek. "Goodbye, Katje". I whisper softly. "I swear your death will be avenged”. "Now you see what they are capable of”. Strano puts his hands in the pockets of his night-black Armani jacket. "It is only the beginning”. I hiss angrily at him. "How can you choose them over your own ?" "You still do not understand, do you ?" Strano rolls his eyes. “They would not be here if it were not for you. Remember that”. “You knew it all from the start, right ? That there were several dogs and that I knew about them. That's why you did not kill me right away when you came up here and picked me up. That’s the truth right ?" I can’t help but seek assurance that I am right. He gives a small sigh. “I saw an opportunity and I took it. When the girls sacrificed Elisabeth, I could not prove that they were involved. I bet you would throw in the dogs as bait if you got the chance, and that Lyndsey would bite”. "What about her ?" I nodded down toward the figure with the

    *Luca* My gaze is fixed as I step forward towards Harry. The dark blonde ulfhedin might be the pack leader, but this is my prey, and I do not shy away from the warning snarl of the alpha. Harry must have come to the same conclusion, for he goes silent and withdraws. I stop in front of the charred statue. My nails slide down the rough surface. Although the texture feels like charred wood, the shell is massive. I withdraw my arm and fire. The charred crust cracks, and I have to strike through once more to penetrate into the goal. When the shell breaks, a rain of coagulated blood sprays over me. I stick my paw into the evil bitch, find what I am looking for, and pull hard. The heart is still pumping weakly as I hold it up in front of the statue. I growl triumphantly and squeezeit in my powerful fist. The heart stops beating, and the red flesh-filled tissue gives way and explodes in a cloud of dust. It is over. "What do we do now ?" Soleil's cousin stands in front of the grotesqu
