Pilot

The small camp that housed 13 boys was lively that morning, the wizards and magic users were reviewing the protective spells, the human and the little fox monster were equally busy bringing supplies to the camp.

—Everything is very busy, isn't it?!-Says Ikke, the newest member of the camp.

—Today is the full moon, so if you don't help, make sure you don't get in the way, little prince.-Rex says that although he wasn't the oldest of them, he was the one who led them.

Rex was a young albino with a scar across his right eye, as if he'd been scratched by something. Ikke watches him irritably, Rex belittles him whenever he has a chance, in addition to trying to kill him several times.

—Where's Shiro? Isn't it better to go at once? You said the place is far, right?!-Says Ikke crossing his arms.

—You are annoying! Just shut up!-Says Rex irritated, taking his dagger from the forge and putting on his cloak covered with black feathers.

—And the masks?-Question Ikke following him.

—We don't need them today.-Says Rex coldly.

Shiro was sitting on a log in the campfire that never went out, he watched the flames dance with a sad expression on his face.

—Shiro, it's time.-Says Rex with a gentle look at his friend.

—And I'm going too!-Says Ikke smiling at Shiro.

—But it's dangerous…-Says Shiro to Ikke worried.

Shiro has dark skin, black hair and eyes.

—I'll be fine! I survived Rex's attempts to kill me, I think I can stand a night with you trying to do that!-Says Ikke trying to cheer up Shiro which only made him even more worried.

—Shall we?-Says Rex ignoring Ikke and handing the cloak to Shiro.

Rex grabs a thick rope from behind the cabin and drapes it over his shoulder under his cloak.

—The Dome of Protection Casting can begin! Take care of each other, we'll be back at dawn, please be careful! Lepus is in charge while we're away!-Says Rex and the boys nod.

The mood was heavy, everyone was on guard duty, except Ikke who insisted on keeping a smile on his face and waving to his camp friends as he followed Rex and Shiro. The boys beckon him back with a smile and construct the magical dome of protection.

Ikke watches Rex and Shiro who walked in front of him seeming to ignore him, Shiro hugs Rex from the side, making him bend down, Rex was taller than Shiro and Ikke, but was younger than the two. Ikke noticed that Shiro looked much better than he did moments ago, it was as if by being close to Rex he could relax and smile again. "Is it because he's a Hybrid?" thinks Ikke.

Shiro looked happy in Ikke's eyes, and Rex looked equally calm about the situation. "They do this route every month?! Their dedication to Shiro is really impressive!" thinks Ikke with difficulty climbing the mountain, almost falling, but Shiro helps him hold on and pulls him back. Rex watches them, the voice echoing in his mind starts to say "It's getting dark, Rex!" Says the cool, calm voice. "I see, we're running out of time," Rex replies in thought to the voice. Rex frowns at Ikke who was slowing them down, his presence bothered him.

—Hurry up little prince! We don't have much time!-says Rex annoyed.

Ikke, however, watched the landscape with his back to the two of them, it took him a while to climb but the view was worth it. Ikke smiles and looks at Shiro, however, the boy looked sad and dejected again.

—What is this worried face, Shiro?!-says Ikke leaning on his back. - Come on, give a smile there! It's just a full moon, you've done this before, haven't you?!-Says Ikke making Shiro smile.

Rex is surprised and smiles. "he seems calmer with this kid here, that's good." thinks Rex.

—This is the Shiro I know!-says Ikke encouraging his friend.

"Don't let your guard down Rex! Look, the Moon is about to appear!"

—Okay.-says Rex aloud, his iris turns violet, his pupil thins like a cat's, however, his right Sclerotica is entirely black. Shiro approaches Rex joining hands with a smile.

—It's okay, it's just a full moon, right?!-Says Shiro smiling.

Rex holds him with the rope they brought, it was thick and strong, but Rex feared it wasn't enough and Shiro looked equally worried.

—Hey, Rex!-Says Shiro calling his friend's attention, Rex looks at him from the corner of his eye.-Promise me you won't let Ikke die? And not even try to kill him?-Question Shiro with black eyes shining at Rex.

—I hate it when you ask me for these things. Okay, I'm not going to let the little prince die Today.-Says Rex annoyed.

—You don't even hate him that much, do you?! -Laughs Shiro.

The voice in Rex's head roared with laughter teasing him "It's your chance to finish him off!" Laughed the voice.

—SHUT UP!-Screams Rex to the voice and to Shiro making him laugh more.

Ikke was distracted by the landscape while Rex was at Shiro's side, Rex told him stories about a distant world called earth, but before the story was over, Shiro's eyes changed from black to Gold, his Sclerotics turned black in seconds . Ikke looks at the two and the voice that only Rex could hear yells "IT'S STARTED! GO AWAY!"

—HA?!-Rex takes off flying away at the exact moment that Shiro lets out a beastly scream.

He looked angry and in a lot of pain, his teeth get sharp and his skin starts to tear revealing the face of the beast that lived inside him, Shiro screams at the pain of his skin that flew off him like a simple wet leather garment. blood, the rope that bound him was stretching with the transformation until it tears, not withstanding the force of the beast that released blood from its mouth. Ikke stands still, Shiro had transformed before his eyes, the short and gentle boy was replaced by a violent beast with an angry look, his claws were large and his teeth extremely sharp, he was staring straight at Ikke.

—So that's what it means to be a hybrid?!-Says Ikke surprised.—Shiro?!

Ikke couldn't understand, as Shiro had totally lost consciousness, Rex lands beside Ikke with the bone dagger in his right hand prepared. "The rope tore like a piece of gum!" Says the voice to Rex who was irritated by out of time jokes. Ikke draws his bat but was still too shocked to do anything, he couldn't attack Shiro, he was his best friend, Shiro saved him and faced Rex so he could stay in the camp! After all that, he couldn't hurt him. The beast didn't look like Shiro, but Ikke knew that inside Shiro was asleep, so the beast jumps with claws and fangs aimed at Ikke, the young man saw his death before his eyes, "WAAAAAAR" screams the beast, but something appeared and as if in slow motion for Ikke, Rex takes a flying shot at the werewolf's face that is flung away from them, Rex's voice sounded more furious than usual.

—I HATE TO MAKE PROMISES!-he yells annoyed. "Shiro went straight to kill him and you really saved him, who knew!" She says Rex's mocking voice, but the boy ignores her, he looks at the beast.

—S-Sorry… I froze…-Says Ikke, however, Rex completely ignores him.

—There's nothing I hate more than hurting you.-Says Rex to the beast that strangely seemed to understand what he was saying, and stands staring at him.-BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ASKED ME TO PROTECT THAT THING!-Says Rex irritated. "The thing" refers to the kid?! You're really hating protecting him aren't you?! "The voice laughs, and Rex ignores it, he was focused on the beast in front of him.

—THING! LET'S CONTAIN IT!-Screams Rex looking at Ikke who was angry for having to trust him.

—I KNOW WHAT TO DO! I WILL NOT MISS!-Screams Ikke determined.

Rex goes all out and prepared to hit the crossbow with the dagger, but at the last second he smiles "HEY HEY Rex! What is this smile? What are you going to do?!" asks the voice worried about Shiro.

—Show me what you know how to do "majesty"!-says Rex landing making room for Ikke to jump from behind him.

—MY NAME IS IKKE!-screams Ikke irritated by Rex never calling him by his name.

Ikke jumps putting the bat in Shiro's mouth, the boy turns holding him from behind holding the bat making Shiro lose his balance a little, Ikke takes the opportunity to hit behind the beast's knees during its fall, making it completely lose balance and with a impulse he gets out of the way. The werewolf is forced to look up and see what was coming to get him, Rex fell from the sky with an elbow generating an explosion.

A few hours pass.

—What happened to the gun I lent you?-Rex asks not finding it on the mountain.

—The bat? He was in Shiro's mouth when you made this crater here… Did he survive?-Ikke asks looking at the deep crater that Rex had made.

Shiro had been removed from the crater a few hours ago, and when the two suns rise and the moon disappears, Shiro returns to normal and wakes up with an incredible headache.

—WHAT? DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT TO GET BLOODY WILLOW WOOD?!-Screams Rex

—Do not yell at me, as if I were the one who had set him on fire!-Says Ikke.

Shiro scratches his head and lets out a laugh.

—Are you two already fighting? It's just dawn!-He says smiling at the two.

—Shiro...-Says Rex, totally changing his posture, he seemed very relieved.

—SHIRO YOU'RE ALIVE!-Screams Ikke, extremely relieved and surprised.

Rex crouches down with a gentle smile to his friend raising his hand.

—Ignore him.-Says Rex.

—I confess that I didn't think you'd fulfill the promise and keep him alive!-Says Shiro smiling.

—GO TO SHIT SHIRO! I NEVER LIED TO YOU, SO GET UP SOON!-Screams Rex annoyed.

Shiro holds Rex's hand as he helps him up, they look at each other and smile in relief. Ikke jumps on Shiro hugging him and yelling:

—BY ZEUS! I THOUGHT REX KILLED YOU! WHAT A RELIEF!-Screams Ikke, smiling and shedding some tears.

"Then that's it? Are you going to let him live?" asks the voice. "The full moon has passed. Shiro is happy is the only thing that matters. I think I can put up with this guy for a while longer, he's not that useless." Rex mentally responds to the voice. "You're softening, Rex. Be careful." Says the voice.

"I will take." Reply Rex.
