Episode 18

The noise of leaking water echoed all across the room as a figure laid on the concrete floor. They were in a cell and had been in there for a considerable amount of time.

They picked up the sound of footsteps. A figure stood in front of the cell. The prisoner's face contorted into shock when they saw who it was.

"You!" they exclaimed in surprise and little glad A grin was plastered on the newcomer.

"Let's bust you out."

"Lady Sygard, there have been reports of missing children in the western parts of the Nayman mountains. The ogre species have been reported to be behind this." Chief Xavier Eldridge stated, worry laced in his tone.

Xavier was an average height man with long silver hair. He was petite in build and tanned. He wore round spectacles with golden rims. He wore a black button up, cotton shirt with a navy blue jumper on top. He paired it with black satin pants and a pair of black chelsea boots.

Lady Yves Sygard was a woman in her early thirties. She was dark skinned with long dreaded golden hair and light blue eyes. She was a short, petite woman. She wore a purple gown that reached her ankle and a pair of slippers.

"Have you sent our men to deal with it?" Her voice was soft and ice cold. Xavier nodded his head confirming that he had. She got up from her brown leather office chair and walked up to the window that was situated behind her. The black, purplish sky with the aqua moon slapped in the middle was extremely beautiful.

"Our main concern is the Grand Seilah Army." She unpleasantly stated. "If the news is true and 'he' escaped and is partnered with other one, then Zyda's resurrection is nothing but a disastrous reality." She solemnly continued.

"Knowing that, the Grand Seilah Army will most likely crack down on the 4 noble houses even more. It could mean war between the humans and other worldly species." She finished, dread lacing her voice.

It was a war that the couldn't risk having

Cilio watched over his brother's body as he laid there, not a sign of getting better. Zyon had confirmed with Sirius that the boy was not in the heat anymore, and that side effect had worn off a day after their conversation.

Cilio was now in an oversized white knitted sweater and a beige pair of shorts. He paired that with a pair of fluffy slippers. His hair was in a makeshift man bun. Bangs long and messy.

His eyes were burdened with dark circles and heavy bags. He looked like a mess. His bowing head snapped up when he heard a groan coming from Zohar. The said male groaned before struggling to open to his eyes.

When he was done with the simple task, he looked around him to piece together his whereabouts. However, the poor boy couldn't do that. Cilio watched in silence but was startled when Zohar jolted up.

"Where the fuck am I?!" "The infirmary." Cilio relayed gently. Zohar's eyes widened at the sound of his brother's voice. He then pounced on the older male with a death gripping hug. "There there. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."

Zyon then walked into the infirmary and stopped wide eyed and perplexed about the scene in front of him. Cilio helped Zohar back onto the bed and patted his head. He then turned to the now back to stone face doctor and smiled.

Zohar's appearance looked back to normal, almost as if he never suffered the effects of the wolfsbane. It was fascinating to the doctor. "I see that you're back to normal." He nonchalantly stated. Zohar nodded his head. "Us wolves are able to heal ourselves after we awaken from our wolfsbane induced slumber." He flippantly explained

"That's if we don't die though." He finished, a small smile placed on his face. "We'll run some tests and check your overall health and you'll be good to go." The doctor stated.

"Okay." The brother replied together.

Sirius laid asleep in his bed. Completely unaware of the evil that was lurking in his room. He tossed and turned, unable to get a good sleeping position. Suddenly, a heavy feeling was on his lap, jolting him awake.

A silver dagger was pointed to his heart , a figure straddled on his lap. His mouth was dry, eyes wide and pupils shaking. Sirius couldn't believe what was happening. This wasn't meant to be the outcome.

It was way too soon for them to be after him again. "Hey, long time no see." A sadistic grin on the person on top of him's face.

"You!"
