Ignorance is a Bliss
[7 Years ago, Lyonel 15]
Lyonel became an Alpha Chief of a pack under the Miruma Clan, they have the highest success rate of a raid and the pack with the lowest death rate. Both Lyonel and Luna made a name; they are both strong and wild when it comes to fighting, Lyonel is an excellent Alpha chief and the high council recognizes them as one of the great assets of the capital.
Everyone is happy because the earnings are if not high, a fair profit. One day a group of packs encountered a Mutated lyrak with multiple arms with long and sharp claws. Everyone is shocked because this kind of mutation is new to their eyes.
The pack consists of 3 Metamorph and 5 Shapeshifters,
Alpha chief commanded to wait because he sensed an enormous strength but considering their numbers gives him a feeling that they can overpower it.
Werewolf 1: Chief, I think we should change route and look for a smaller Lyrak.
Werewolf 2: "No! We can do this! We can gang on it, it's just one lyrak.
werewolf 3: "Yeah it's easy money!
The Alpha Chief requested a poll vote, the result is that 6 out of 8 members of the pack voted to attack.
"Okay we will attack but we need to carefully plan it.
When the pack was about to commence an attack, one of the members rushed in and metamorph, he did not follow the plan, the chief had no choice but to give back up to it.
The Lyrak notices the Lhyran and howls so loud that it distracts them from attacking.
A few moments ago the ground is rumbling they sense a large number of individuals approaching their area and before they knew it, they were surrounded by the forces of Lyrak.
Because of ignorance, they were massacred horribly.
As time goes by more and more death and raid failures are being reported on the clan, and the forces of the enemy are said to be growing.
"Raids are getting harder, Chief," Luna said.
"Something is not right, our enemy whom we know despises working with others, is well organized and cooperating.. as if there is someone that is telling them what to do.. the way they mutate is getting weirder and scarier.
The leader of the Miruma clan Raggor also known as the Chieftain held a meeting together with all the alpha chief
Alpha 1: "Chief! The number of death cases is growing, if we don't do something our capital stronghold might weaken, and we will be defenseless against large attacks."
Alpha 2: "Our supply of goods is decreasing and the market price is rising due to fewer people sending supply because they are being ambushed by Lyraks on their way here."
Alpha 3: "Chief, we cannot ignore something like this."
I understand….
"Due to these crises and unpleasant situations we are facing I will assign an extra force of pack that will consist of 5 Alpha Chief to undergo an expedition to investigate and calibrate the forces of the enemy, this is important for us to see through these changes that are happening. I will not suggest you fight an unnecessary battle however if left no choice you may protect yourself."
"I 5 volu.."
The Alpha chief suddenly stands immediately and volunteers however only 5 are needed.
"Hey! I stand first!"
"No, I'm stronger than you"
"I'm stronger…"
"Enough!" the chieftain said.
The Alpha Chiefs seem to be fighting to volunteer for the assigned mission.
"You bunch of idiots, this is not the time to act childish. I'll choose who to volunteer…"
"Mabel, Sultan, Kebrel, Lauran, and Lyonel, the five of you will be the ones in charge of this mission. Sultan, you will act as Alpha chief of the pack."
Hai! [Everyone]
Lyonel bid farewell to Luna, Luna has been assigned to the force that will assure the safety of supply deliveries.
"I see, you be careful Luna as much as possible, do not engage in the frontline, you do your best!"
"I think you're forgetting who you're talking to? I'm the only one who can beat you down, you know?"
[Lyonel laughs very hard]
"I'll be setting on a journey but it won't take too long"
"Ya better come back in one piece!"
From Lardiz Oasis the pack is set to travel to the land of Allender, down to South Riddle, Meribah Plains to Zoar forest outpost.
The goal is to gather any useful information from the neighboring clans and check the situation and spread awareness.
Upon arriving at the Land of Allender, the Land chieftain reported the same situation of high death rate reports and shortage of supply, they also confirmed that the Lyraks are capable of setting traps and doing attacks in a pattern.
The south riddle's situation is the same, they replenish their supply for traveling in the south riddle and head over to Meribah Plains.
Along the way they encounter a battle between a pack and a Lyrak, Sultan is ordered to not intervene for the moment, they take their time to observe how a Lyrak Fights.
In the first pattern, several Lyrak will fight in the frontlines, once the Lyrak knows that they cannot win the fight, they pretend to be retreating but their goal is to lure the pack into a narrow and steep path where multiple mutated Lyraks await them.
"Tch, what a dirty trick!" Kebrel said.
The expedition team didn't let the Lyrak play their games so they rushed in and fought the Lyraks.
The pack was shocked to see a pack of Alpha chiefs fighting together. Lyonel and the others overwhelmed the Lyraks and managed to defeat them.
[At the capital]
Chieftain Raggor reported the situation to the High council the elders commended him and allocated an additional budget to the clan for the necessary expenses of the operations.
[Somewhere outside the capital]
Luna's group is fighting a pack of Lyraks. The information is true, they confirmed that Lyraks are targeting the supply deliveries that pass through the main road.
The expedition team informed the pack of the situation and requested to spread the information. The group continues their travel towards the Meribah Plains.
