Rose could hear voices and footsteps near her. The discussion of people who seemed to be heated by emotions. One of them shouted for the other to start a brawl. Oddly enough she could hear growl instead of punches being thrown near her.

It was as if beasts were fighting and not humans.

Her green eyes quickly snapped wide as she recalled someone had pulled her into the fog forest without her wish.

She stared brightly at the two men who was ready to tear each other but their hands hung on the air as they were stunned by her awakening.

Others around her could be heard gasping seeing how she had pushed herself from the ground.

Carefully, Rose studied her surrounding, finding herself in the middle of the forest. Firewoods were lighted right in front of her while there were houses made by woods grouped out around her.

Then there were villagers… many of them, surrounding her in a circle but none daring to get close to her except the two men who was furious at each other.

    Dominic turned his face at the lonely forest only to find Rose missing from his eyes. He studied his surrounding first, wondering where she had went, “Rose?” He asked, wondering if she had walked away as she had find a clue.It was somewhat Rose’s bad behavior to disappear and turn tunnel vision whenever she found a clue, but knowing Rose, she would have tug his sleeve a little, coming to his calling when he called for her name.Yet now she’s gone, unable to be found. His panic spread slowly but potently as his head wrapped around her disappearance. He quickly walked away, trying to find Rose while calling for her name only to stop when his feet had stepped at something. Looking down, he noticed he had stepped on a shoes.Bending down, Dominic took the feminine shoes on his hand. One glimpse was enough for him to know it belonged to Rose.His knuckles cracked at the same time Cain had walked up toward him. He shivered as he felt a deep rage oozing from Dominic. His eyes had turned b

    The way to enter the fog forest was obscure. No one knows how to enter but Dominic didn’t have the luxury to find a way to enter the forest in a civilized manner. His blood was boiling, with anger to both the person who had taken Rose and to himself who didn’t notice her disappearance despite her standing right beside him. His Rose had disappeared and he could tell she had gone inside the fog forest. It was the only way for him to find her yet he couldn’t as the fog forest kept on pushing him back to the spot he had started.It was useless to wait, he didn’t know what might be inside the forest and how Rose’s condition was. If she was harmed, if her skin was even the slightest wounded, he knew he couldn’t keep his sanity anymore. Dominic had left his men to Cain before standing at the edge of the forest. He wracked his brain under the few seconds he has.Humans… the people who entered the fog forest were mostly humans, it’s why they had been thrown out of the forest. As the witness

    His question was met with the same look that Rose received when she asked about the werewolves curse. Andrius who noticed that they were under a misunderstanding immediately spoke up, “You got things mixed up, us being a werewolf is not a curse. If it is, it would mean everyone here is doomed for life.”“We come from a kingdom where everyone is a werewolf,” explained Anna who walked beside her brother Chris, hiding as though she feared Dominic. “Humans are instead a very strange and odd creature for us. If you think that way, if a human was to suddenly appear in our kingdom, they would think themselves as cursed as well.”Dominic frowned and Rose could fee his hand tightening around her. Like how she was before, he was having a hard time to understand it all. It was difficult for him to believe he wasn’t cursed as since he was young he had been doomed by other’s words.“Let’s talk this out inside my house,” said the elderly lady who was walking with a stick toward them.Rose nodded he

    Rose stepped outside alongside Dominic who hadn’t said a word since he stepped out of the house. She watched how his silence means he was thinking deeply of what had happened and his complex expression made her worried. She touched his hand noticing how he wrapped his fingers around and tightening them.“You’re thinking whether they had lied to you?” Rose started her question. Even during this time, she was grateful Dominic hadn’t brush her away or ask for a space to be alone.She was glad to be able to stand beside him, especially in times where he needed her.“No,” he answered after a while. “I can smell my own kind here. I can tell they are are similar like me. Their words when they said I belong to the kingdom over the sea might also be true.”Rose remembered how back in her village the old lady had spoken about a land far away that have werewolves. She had brushed it aside, not knowing it was true.And the last and crucial question was, “Will you go there?”Dominic looked at her

    Dominic managed to catch one of the mercenary who was sent to kill him. Pulling the human by the collar, his enemy looked at him in terror. He begged, “Please! I promise I would keep my mouth shout of what had happened tonight! And I promise I will— I will—”Dominic simply looked at his eyes, offering his question, “Do you have a family or a lover waiting for you back at home?”The mercenary didn’t think before nodding his head in energy, fearing Dominic will kill him before he could reply.“I do! I do! I have a child and a wife!”Dominic looked at the man for a couple of second and a sigh left his well shaped lips.“Even when you’re in front of days you still lie, don’t you?”Watching how inhuman the change of Dominic’s eye color from black to golden caused the man to scream, leaving his last word unheard as his scream become his last dying words.Cain rushed into the forest side where it was burning. Oddly why he had instructed the men to look around the forest for any traces of Ros

    Rose watched as more humans being brought into the forest, they were all however mostly lifeless by the time they end up inside the forest.The elderly woman sighed seeing this, “Death has never been easy.”And Rose looked at her, finding the woman gently smiling.“I guess you doubt my words. Most werewolves sees human as creature inferior to them but none of them have difficult feelings against them either. We just see humans as pitiful, whether how easy they die due to old age or how weak they are. But trust that deaths are never easy for us, whether its humans or for werewolves.”Rose saw how one mercenary was holding to his chest but the werewolf did nothing and watch them. She felt terrible seeing a fellow human had been wounded and left to die but seeing the amount of blood shedding from them, she could only watch from afar.The man caught her gaze on him and crawled. Anna quickly stepped in between her and the man as if to protect her from the man’s harmful intention. But from

    Rose who had just concluded the bullets to be harmful for everyone in the village, pushed the bullet inside her pocket. Something about it must have been different than ordinary metals. Something.. but what could it be?“It’s better if we bring all the wounded ones and the children somewhere more safe,” she then prioritized and Anna agreed.“Let’s move to the cellar,” Anna quickly ushered everyone to follow her. With the help of Martin who took the role to guard them as they moved to hide on the cellar that was built underneath the elder madam’s house.Rose watched as the children goes down only to hear a shuddering and inhumane cry coming from far outside the house. The voice seemed to sound even terrible for the werewolves as they grunted while covering their ears.“What is that horrible noise!” Martin shouted, hoping that his own voice can reduce the pain stabbing his eardrums. Rose quickly looked over the windows and how she shuddered when she saw a creature, much bigger and tall

    What was this man talking about?? He went on and on on his own monologue as if forgetting she was there. Rose looked around her while the man continue to speak.“Say do you know that there are not many things that could vitally wound werewolves?” The man spoke when she caught at the corner of her eyes was a candle holder that had sharp ends. She looked back at him, “That bullets you had from earlier?”“Oh? So you indeed know magic?” He chuckled as if taking her previous statement as a funny jester to trick him.“No, I don’t. So that was magic that you used on that bullet?” She questioned, that would mean there is many magician… no sorcerers in this world who are like him? Who knows how to kill werewolves?!“Close but wrong. Do you know how magic is close to science? There are some people who learn science but was suspected as a witch and got killed,” he continued, “Sadly those people had killed the wrong people.”“So that bullet was made by science?” She asked, questioning as it seem

Some of the guests gladly greeted Dominic and his wife, Rose. They had acknowledge her soon and even called Dominic “duke”. As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now. I gradually found people who could suddenly fill empty barrel with water as miracle instead of fearing them. I’m also glad to see how wise our King is as he had rooted off all the corrupted royals.

    The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o

    Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an

    “Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre

    When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress.

    Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day.

    Dominic’s silver eyes also noticed the swirl of purple glow from the black mansion and turned his head again to the view before him. “What did you and the Master talked about?” Inquired Dominic while they run through the forest. “I told him that I will do something about the demon inside Isaac if he could help me end my curse but then he surprised me by saying that he doesn’t need help.” Rose responded. “I trust him.” “I do think he is someone who wouldn’t hurt his fellow sorcerer, you weren’t wrong in trusting him,” Dominic encouraged her. “But that sound too good to be true. He always ask people for payment if he help them.” “He did ask for something, he said to continue fooling my demon, Babylion,” uttered Rose. “I asked him why and he told me so he could use Babylion to kill that ancient demon in response.”“So this entire charade is because of him.” Dominic narrowed his eyes. They can’t seem to trust the Master completely, that man would do anything if it means to fulfil his

    Shawn’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw a bright purple glow appearing from the room where the master and Isaac had fought in. As the master’s hand had been touched, Isaac had fulfilled his promise to erase the curse that plagued the Master. This should have call for a celebration regardless of the Master’s wish of never leaving the cave. But by fulfilling Isaac’s promise, the demon in him finally demanded for his reward and that reward was… for him to manifest into the world inside his body!When something suddenly clicked in his mind, Shawn bubbled out of anger.“Damn it! Damn it!” Shawn yelled, finally realizing the big mistake that he made by trusting that damn sorcerer king! He rushed out of the room, questioning everything that the sorcerer had done. He first of told him to imbue his magic on the crystal ball as if doing that would help. He said that by calming Isaac, he could convince him to drive out the demon inside. He also claimed that he wouldn’t kill Isaac thus why he had

    Rose could feel the dark magic that entered her skin, crawling in such a disgusting way that she wanted to hurl but she couldn’t. There was something that was stopping her from moving and she couldn’t understand it as it felt slightly different when compared to the demonic magic that he uses on her. “Rose, make my life more colorful, won’t you?” Whispered Babylion. “Now go and betray your beloved. I want to see his face twisting in pain. From your memories, he seemed to the most fun to mess with.” Rose wanted to say no, she wanted to yell and disagree with Babylion’s words but she couldn’t move. She then had the sudden idea to play by what Babylion wanted and nodded her head slowly, agreeing that she would betray Dominic while her eyes turning unfocused, looking exactly similar as to someone who had just been bewitched.“Good, now play with me.” Back to the present, Rose run through her thins hands between her hair and pushed the golden locks to the back of her head, she sighed hea
