It's been far too long since Fenrir had seen anyone else. 'Maybe I should have convinced those two to fight with me to bring that monster down. Then again, who's to say that thing down here is the biggest of my problems. I was the idiot who signed a contract with a dead guy, there's nothing stopping the people behind this from killing me after this is all over.'
A sudden haze falls over Fenrir as he loses track of where he is. He knows this feeling too well, this can only be caused by someone using illusion magic. Unfortunately for him, he is weak to this kind of magic. Shapes begin to take form in front of him and it doesn't take long for him to figure out what it is. A transparent form of Luna appears before him. "Look what you did you me Fenrir. Thanks to you my life was cut short."
"No, I...It wasn't my fault. I tried to save you. I was out of options, there was no way I could have known that it would try to take over my body." Fenrir pleads. "If I would have
Fala looks around at the various hand made ceramic pots and bowls that occupy the tent of her now old brother. Decorated tribal blankets, fur coats and the strong smell of tobacco cover the rest. "How long have you been here? Fala asks."It's not much, but it's home." Lapu says as he notices her looking around the tent. "It's been a hundred winters since I have seen you last. In that time, we have managed to keep ourselves strong as a family through various forms of traditional ceremonies and forms of worship. Our young are taught to respect nature, to be grateful for the things we have."Lapu lights a couple of candles and sits down facing them with his eyes closed. "We have had a few disputes with the native humans that occupy this realm. As far as we know, magic is foreign to them. Legends grow among them of our existence, but they are only perceived as mythology.""If you were the only one sent here, then that means you turned some of the natives into
Fenrir returns to the outpost in the dead of night. It would be far harder to explain where he had been to the entire group of wolves rather than his close friends. However, he is also here to tell them everything that's been going on. Since merging with Anubis, he is conflicted about how they will take this news. He wonders what the ramifications of his actions will have on their outlook of him. Not that he cares as much, but his curiosity is getting the best of him. In either case, he will accept whatever outcome happens.Waking them up at this hour will surely put them in a bad mood. Fenrir decides to travel to the training grounds where he knows they will return to in the morning. Upon reaching the training grounds, he starts to meditate on more important issues.'I might think that I don't care what they are going to say about my actions. I won't know until I hear what they have to say. The actions I have taken under the false name I used to go by might shad
"What exactly do you have in mind?" Fenrir asks slightly curious and afraid of what she has planned."It's an opportunity to prove that you can be trusted. If you'll allow me to enter your mind I can prove your innocence." Lucia looks over her shoulder at the rest of the group. "That's if you are innocent in the first place. Even if you did do all of those things, I can at least see the reason behind your actions."Fenrir closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "No, I refuse.""WHAT? Don't you understand the situation you're in? They're planning to kill you, at least this way tou have a chance of surviving. I don't think you realize just how strong Delmar is."Fenrir looks past Lucia to meet Delmar's gaze. "I think I can take him. If anything, he is underestimation just how strong I've become since we first met. It would be a good time to test out some of my new abilities."Lucia scoffs in disbelief. "What's wrong with you? Do you think you
"What do you mean? I still don't understand how this is possible?" Lucia asks.Suriel glances at Fenrir who doesn't seem as surprised as Lucia does. "Why aren't you freaking out like she is?""Because, I've figured out what's going on. It's not that hard to imagine that an astral being like yourself could theoretically put part of your soul inside someone else." Fenrir says with a cocky tone. "What I don't understand is why you decided to do it."Suriel gives him a warm smile. "You're smarter than I thought you'd be." Her demeanor suddenly changes to a more serious tone. "You're here because you want to figure something out that you have forgotten, aren't you?"She purses her lips, puts her hands on her hips while looking at the ground trying to think of something. "No, it's something more than that. Perhaps, something about me." She looks back up at them. "You've found out why I made you. I should have expected this since I still have p
Half a minute goes by and neither Fenrir or Delmar move in to attack. Delmar gets irritated that Fenrir is just starting at him intently. "If you wont make the first move, then I will." Delmar says as he commands his army of shadows to match forward with a single hand gesture.Their movements are slow at first, but then begin to pick up speed as they tactically surround Fenrir leaving him no room to rush Delmar. As the first shadow fiend approaches getting ready to swing it's sword at him, Fenrir casually sidesteps the attack. within seconds, the rest are upon him swinging their swords at him with no avail. 'This is too easy.' Fenrir thinks to himself as he keeps dodging the attacks. 'It's likely Delmar is using them as a distraction to catch me off guard. He'll try to attack me from long range when he sees an opening.'Almost on cue, Delmar fires his black star attack directly at Fenrir disregarding the safety of his shadow army. The attack is hard to see since
Two individuals wearing black turtle neck cloaks approach the outpost. Their faces covered by plague doctor masks, one wears a top hat while the other a hood. They see humanity as the plague that must be purged from this world, and they are certainly the best at what they do. Everywhere these two go, a dark aura illuminates from them casting despair upon those close to them. There are many instances where their foes are driven insane by this despair before they even arrive."It seems they know we're here." The one in the top hat says in a masculine voice. "Just like always, we don't have the element of surprise.""Who needs the element of surprise when we have overwhelming strength? It's not like they can do anything to stop us." The one in the hood says in a feminine voice."I mean it would be nice for once to catch our enemies by surprise. We are always at a disadvantage."The one in the hood stops in her tracks. "Why do you always have to c
Fenrir and the others finally make it to the outpost and realize that everyone is preparing the defenses. Guards and archers are lined up on the walls that surround the outpost, newly driven spikes surround the gate entrance. The evacuation of women and children has already begun, a soldier approaches to inform them of what's going on."Where were all of you? We are on red alert. There are powerful mages heading towards the outpost as we speak.""Don't worry about it." Fenrir says in a cocky tone. "I won't let them kill anyone here."The soldier looks at him with dismay. "I'm afraid you are too late. Lokota went ahead with a small army of volunteers, we haven't heard back from them yet. If anything, they bought us some time to prepare out defenses."Fenrir looks over at Skoll who seems to be shaken up by this news. 'Wasn't Lokota his mentor? I barely knew the guy, but I know he was strong enough go handle himself in a fight. In any case, Skoll
'Why am I doing this? Why do I desire to become stronger? Is it to protect those who can't protect themselves? If that's the case, then why do I feel the need to kill humans? Why do I only feel the need to protect my species from harm? Oh, that's right, they fight among themselves because they can't put their differences aside. Only coming together when they can't fight the battle alone. But after the battle has been won, it starts all over again. To keep them in check, there needs to be constant conflict. The suffering of others benefits those who provide the suffering. In the end, there needs to be a sacrifice, but only one needs to be provided.'Fenrir blocks out all needless distractions from his surroundings and only focuses on the enemies in front of him. 'These two will only bring us closer together temporarily, they are not the sacrifices that we need. The true sacrifice needs to willingly volunteer for it. They are just pawns in this game of life.'Esyn
