A towering tall black wolf with specks of red through his charcoal black fur, fire red orange eyes fixated on the most puzzling thing he ever saw, letting out a soft growl as it vibrated through the floor, his claws digging into the ground making himself stand more firmer while pushing his nose slightly on the glass pod that was filled with water. He was enticed by it's content fully well knowing who it was but not knowing what happened to her. Because even with her superb overgrown silky blueish oceanic tinted hair he would always recognize his May by the scar on her forehead, the very scar he gave her when they had that unfortunate accident because of her own clumsiness.

Red Wolf nodded and went to dig up the coffin again.
He didn't understand why His Highness was doing this, but the crown prince's heart was probably uneasy.
At least, in all these years, Red Wolf had never seen the crown prince countermand his own decision.
It was snowing even more heavily when Red Wolf brought his men to Five Treasures Mountain, the snow reaching up to their knees.
It was already dark when they reached the mountain.
It took at least four hours to get to the mountain.
Red Wolf and the others dug up the coffin in the middle of the night, the gold glittering in the snow.
The maids were pale with fright, but Red Wolf and the guards were expressionless; this was nothing to be afraid of.
By the time they arrived at the crown prince's residence, Lu Fenying was standing at the gate of the main courtyard. He was wearing a robe embroidered with a crescent moon and a snow-white fox fur cloak, his body covered in snow.
Red Wolf was a little shocked. How long had His Highness been standing there?
"Your Highness, we've brought her back. Should we bury her now, or…" Red Wolf asked carefully.
His Highness's expression was too strange.
Also, what he was wearing was unusual. Despite the snowstorm, it wasn't so cold that he needed to wear a fox fur cloak.
Why was he suddenly scared of the cold?
Lu Fenying waved his hand. "Bring her here."
Red Wolf's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, it felt heavy.
The more His Highness acted like this, the more uneasy Red Wolf felt.
He clearly couldn't bear to part with her.
But why then wouldn't he ask the Nether King to help resurrect her?
Red Wolf didn't dare ask any more questions. He had his men bring back Mo Qian'er's coffin.
Lu Fenying looked at the gorgeous coffin expressionlessly. "Open it."
His subordinates didn't dare ask any questions, and soon opened the coffin. Lu Fenying walked over and saw Mo Qian'er with a powdered face and red lips, wearing the newest dress he had given her.
He had given her a lot of clothes. Sometimes, when he was riding his horse through the streets, he would get a glimpse of some clothes which he thought would suit her.
And she would wear the clothes he gave her, which were often in shades of peach and plum.
He took off his white fox fur cloak and shook off the snow on it. Holding it in his arms for a while, he then covered Mo Qian'er with it before he turned around and said, "Bury her tonight."
Red Wolf was very upset as he watched His Highness leave.
Next to him, White Wolf couldn't help but cry. "I'm afraid His Highness really can't bear to part with her. It hurts to see him like this."
This was precisely what it meant to be unable to let go.
He had stood in the heavy snow for so long wearing that cloak, so that it would be warm with his body temperature when he covered Mo Qian'er with it.
"Bury her," Red Wolf said firmly.
Whatever the case, they had to do as His Highness commanded.
At most, they would just dig her up again if they had to.
They buried the coffin among the plum blossoms that night. They couldn't see the beauty of the plum blossoms at night, but could smell their fragrance.
Su Muwei listened as a servant reported, "He buried Mo Qian'er among the plum blossoms and even personally covered her with a fox fur cloak. It was as white as snow, like the one you asked the crown prince for two years ago, which he said was a gift from his father."
Since it hardly snowed in winter in Three Lives Capital, fox fur cloaks were rare.
However, most noble families would have one at home.
Two years ago, the emperor had made two precious fox fur cloaks for Lu Fenying.


Gu Bailu has transmigrated. She was in Dubai one second ago, but the next thing she knew, she finds herself in a deep, dark forest. To make things worse, her body has been poisoned and sex is the only antidote. Thinking that she will die in the middle of nowhere, she somehow runs into a handsome guy who's semi-conscious. Eager to rescue herself, Gu Bailu lies him down, not realizing that he is Prince Zi, a powerful and brutal man who has killed every woman that had approached him. Her life is saved, but she can’t get away from him…

Katie was known as an animal lover. If an animal was injured even though it was a wild animal, she would definitely take it home and treat the wound.
Because of that, she couldn't bear to see the look like a pathetic puppy in the red wolf's eyes. Even though she didn't have the heart, she still didn't dare approach it. What was before her was no ordinary beast. But the red wolf! What if the creature changed its mind and attacked her the moment she let her guard down? Katie didn't dare to take the risk.
She was already prepared for her death, but of course, he didn't want to die tragically as its food.
"We better get back," said Katie finally without turning her gaze towards the red creature for fear that it would make a sudden attack.
"Are you sure you can walk? I think you can sit on it and let it take you home to Bayern."
"What? What do you want me to do?"
Kinsey smiled amusedly, "It'll be happy if you let it help you."
"You've been defending it all the time. Can you read its mind or what?" Katie was annoyed that Kinsey didn't seem intent on giving up put a prank on her.
"That's a good question. Believe it or not, I can feel its feelings. Right now, it really doesn't know what to do because you so frankly express your dislike for it."
Katie's mouth opened wide at this absurd explanation.
"How about letting it approach you just this once. If you really don't like it, I'll let it stay away from you." coaxed Kinsey.
"It's a red wolf," Katie whispered as quietly as possible.
"I know. But you don't need to be afraid. I won't let anyone hurt you. Do you trust me?"
Does Katie trust Kinsey? On a normal occasion, Katie shouldn't trust stranger's words blindly. Not to mention, this is their second meeting, the more reason Katie shouldn't trust the man. But Ode made Kinsey her bodyguard. That should be enough to make her believe in Kinsey.
Surprisingly, even though Kinsey is an outsider, although he was not her bodyguard, her heart told her that this person could be trusted. Somehow she felt like this person meant it when he said he wouldn't let anyone hurt her.
"All right. I'll try it." sighed Katie, finally giving up.
Kinsey smiled in relief as the red wolf, which had looked lethargic, got up cheerfully. Seeing the red creature's behavior made Katie shake her head in surprise.
The red wolf walked towards them slowly. Katie felt amused when she noticed the red wolf in front of her was trying not to scare her.
After feeling that the distance between them was immensely shortened, the red wolf stopped and sat up straight again. The distance between them was not too far but also not too close. The red wolf left the rest to Katie's decision.
Katie's heart softened at the wolf's good intentions. Maybe the red creature felt anxious if it continued to approach Katie, so the wolf was now sitting quietly, waiting for her.
Kinsey reached out to her to help her up. Katie happily accepted it and let Kinsey lead her closer to the red wolf, who was now emitting an enthusiastic gaze.
Kinsey slowly led her hand to touch the fur on the red wolf's body.
At first, Katie was nervous because her hand was being held by Kinsey. Her heart was racing with both pleasure and worry... she was afraid that Kinsey would hear the sound of her pounding heart because they were so close.
But as soon as her hand touched the incredibly soft red fur, her nervousness was replaced by a feeling of fascination.
Katie has never touched something so soft and delicate like this. Even the pomeranian dog fur she'd met at the Tettero residence wasn't as smooth as this.
Without knowing it, her hands were already wrapped around the red wolf's big neck, and sunk her face into the wolf's fur. She rubbed his cheek against the red fur comfortably. She felt she could sleep soundly if these fur were a pillow to accompany her.
Meanwhile, Kinsey's eyebrows rose to see that Katie was comfortable hugging the red wolf. Too comfortable, in fact. Wasn't that girl scared and didn't want to get close? Why now does it seem like Katie doesn't want to be separated from this red creature?
For a moment, Kinsey stared enviously at the red wolf. Ah, how lucky this wolf is to get a free hug from Katie. Kinsey glanced at the pair of red eyes with a jealous look.
Understanding what he was thinking, those red eyes just rolled lazily as if to say it wasn't its fault that Katie would instead hug it than Kinsey.
Kinsey was stunned by what was going through his mind. Now he was sure he could read the wolf's mind and vice versa. And they both want to get Katie's attention?
Kinsey sighed in resignation. If his love rival was a human, he could have thought of a thousand strategies to win the girl's heart. But his love rival is a red wolf. Imagine... a red wolf!
The red wolf sitting and lying down slowly made Kinsey feel amazed. Then he found Katie, who was now fast asleep on top of a thick pile of red fur.
Kinsey approached the girl and crouched down. He pushed Katie's red hair behind her earlobe, and there was a peaceful expression on her face.
Who would have thought that Katie fell asleep so quickly? Kinsey noticed dark bags under Katie's eyes. Did Katie not sleep well yesterday? Kinsey asked in his mind.
Kinsey let Katie doze off for a moment while exchanging thoughts with the red wolf.
The fact that he and the red wolf could read each other's minds was still a mysterious thing to him. The question is, how and why?
How could their two minds be united, and why was his mind connected to that red wolf. If the red wolf exists to hunt down the red king's life, then wouldn't it make more sense that the wolf's mind was connected to the red king himself?
A thought answered his question. The red wolf had never softened like this before. This is the first time this has happened, and this red wolf will never be able to hurt or hurt Katie.
Because the red wolf's feelings and thoughts have merged with Kinsey's feelings, anything that makes Kinsey sad will also make the red creature miserable. Everything Kinsey feels can be felt by the wolf and vice versa.
Kinsey glanced at the red wolf wondering... could it be that the answer that came to mind was the wolf's thinking?
The wolf tilted its head as if to tease him. The answer to his silly question, of course, should Kinsey know.
Kinsey sighed. This is the first time an animal has acted so arrogantly and teased him like this.
"What is your name?" for the first time Kinsey communicated by opening his voice rather than by 'telepathy.'
The answer that came to mind was that this wolf has no name. No one has ever given him a name since he was born into this world.
"How about letting Katie give you a name?"
The wolf's red eyes shone upon hearing that. It was clear that he seemed excited and thrilled about getting a name. Especially if Katie gave him the name.
Kinsey is beginning to understand one thing. Not only had his thoughts fused with the red wolf, but his feelings too. When the wolf felt disappointed and sad when Katie rejected him, he also felt the same way. And right now, Kinsey loved Katie so much and wanted to protect her, the red wolf also had a desire to protect her.
Once again, Kinsey sighed at the thought of his unique situation. Honestly, since when did he enter this otherworldly phenomenon?
'Since you were born in this world. But you only realized it now. '
"..."
Who is talking? Strangely, it wasn't his ears that picked up the sound, but his head was picking up on it as if the voice had appeared in his mind. Wai... isn't this voice the same as the one he heard when he was in the world of darkness yesterday?
Kinsey glanced at the red wolf, who was now also staring at him with a gaze like they first met.
"Were you the one who called me?"
"Finally, you can hear my voice." without further answering, the red wolf relaxed its muscles and curled up over Katie's body before covering her with its tail to protect Katie from the gale of wind.
Like Kinsey, this wolf is very protective of Katie. If only this red creature did not cover Katie, Kinsey himself would have given his cloak to cover Katie. The wind that was blowing hard was chilling.
Kinsey just smiled at how peaceful Katie fell asleep. It seems like Kinsey doesn't have to worry about the red wolf anymore. But isn't there another red wolf? Is the wolf in the palace...
'No. If our thoughts had not become one, I would have killed this lady.' cut off the voice of the red wolf in his mind.
Kinsey's jaw tightened at that. That means the red wolf problem hasn't been resolved.
Not to mention that there are still Vangarians who desired to kill Katie and Heinest, who wanted to seize Katie. And both of them were rulers of the land of Prussia. The enemy this time, was really troublesome. Kinsey complained to herself.


Excerpt:

Kinsey grinning widely made Katie suspicious at him.

"Do you know something? Your friends intend to punish me if I don't win today. It seems they want to prank me afterward."

Katie snorted. "As if I care."

"Do you know the punishment that will be given to me?" Kinsey leaned over the table causing Katie to move back and put down her scoop of ice cream. "Looks like I'll be ordered to run around the forest all day... naked." Katie's eyes bulged, hearing this. "What if I pass your cottage? Or do you want to see me naked?"

Katie's cheeks felt hot as the color was as red as a tomato. But she didn't know whether her face flushed due to anger or embarrassment to hear the vulgar words of the man. Her angry was skyrocket when she saw the cunning smirk on the man's lips.

"YOU....!!"

"I don't mind if you see me naked. Should I go to your room?"

BANG!

I turn around with my stone dagger in my right hand and my stone spear in the left.
Standing in front of me were three wolves of a metre high and two and a half metres long. The one in the front has silver fur and the other two were brown and they all had red eyes that stared at me with hunger.
With the information I recieved, the silver wolf was called the Steel Fur wolf while the two brown ones were normal wolves. It was called the Steel Fur wolf because its fur is as strong as steel, making it incredibly difficult to penetrate its skin.
I stood there staring the silver wolf in its eyes, we are about the same height. Preparing myself for a fight I dicide to take out the two brown wolves as they will be easier to kill and then fight the Steel Fur wolf by itself.
I dash towards the silver wolf which pounced towards me with its mouth wide open, showing its vicious teeth to me. Sliding under it I use the spear in my left hand to stab the brown wolf on my right before jumping back to my feet and running.
The silver wolf was furious at me dodging it and killing one of its pack memebers. Both wolves gave chase to me with the brown one closest to me. It wasn't long until it caught up to me before lunging at me. I side stepped it before driving my dagger into is skull. 
Taking the dagger out I start sprinting again, looking for a place I can use to my advantage against the silver wolf. The silver wolf was closing the distance between us very quickly.
I suddenly stopped, coming to a dead end. Infront of me was a wall that was at least 10 metres high, and behind me was the silver wolf. Turning around I get ready for the fight against the wolf. 
The wolf didn't pounce on me like last time, instead it approached slowly with caution so it doesn't fall for one of my tricks again. Soon we were separated by a distance of 2 metres before it stopped.
We stared at each other waiting to see who will make the first move. I took a step to my right, acting as if I am going to take of sprinting. The wolf lunges to my right but sadly I twist my body and start sprinting in the other direction.
This made the wolf even angrier as it started chasing me, its eyes glowing red in anger.
I didn't get far before it caught up to me. I turned and hid behind a tree waiting for the wolf to pass. Before it could recognise me, I stabbed my knife into its fur.
~Crack~
My stone dagger broke without even dealing any damage to the wolf. The wolf itself turn around but skid along the ground from trying to forcable stop itself.
With no weapon to use now I started climbing the tree behind me, trying to get an advantage over the wolf. Half way up the tree the wolf leaped up and managed to claw my leg.
I grit my teeth trying to not let the pain get the better of me while I kept climbing the tree. I stood on a tree branch watching the wolf that is circling the tree.
Looking around the tree, I found that it is connect to another tree like the one I used to set up camp. Walking on the branch I passed onto the next tree, the wolf still following me on the ground. Soon the trees stopped connecting to each other but through traveling by tree I arrived back to where the fight started.
Lying on the ground was one of the brown wolves with my spear still lodged in it. All I had to do was get the spear and then I could use it against the silver wolf. The wolf was losing its patience as it started jumping, trying to reach me up on the branches.
To my suprise the wolf bit a lower branch and managed to climb onto it. It jumped from branch to branch climbing towards me. I started to panic as I had no way to go now. There was no way up and the wolf was closing the distance while protecting the lower branches, and I couldn't jump down as that would just injure me more and be a free meal for the wolf.
The wolf was soon on a branch in front of me, staring at me with its red eyes. The wolf jumped towards me with its mouth wide open and paws outstreched like the first time it attacked.
It was at this moment when I remembered a chokehold that I learnt and if it is done correctly it can block the airway of any opponent no matter the size difference or strength difference.
Time seemed to slow down, the wolf seemed to move slowly in the air. As it was just in front of me, I moved through the gap inbetween its paws to get closer to its neck. I placed my right forearm under its open mouth and put my other arm over its head before locking it with my right hand.
Time seemed to revert back to normal once I got the hold in place. The wolfs momentum pushed us both off the tree and crashing on the ground. Ignoring the pain as I put more force into my hold, trying to hold onto the wolf as it thrashes around trying to bite me and claw me. It took about two minutes before the wolf suffercated from the lack of oxygen.
I released my grip on the now dead wolf and layed there panting from exhaustion. I soon got up to my feet before feeling a sharp pain from my leg. Taking a look I get a chance to asses the damage done by the wolf. The claws of the wolf went about 3 centimetres into my calve leaving three bloody claw marks.
I walked to the river and started washing it to prevent an infection. I then ripped a part of my shirt and wrapping it around the cuts. Once I sorted out my injury I gathered the three wolves and storing them in a tree to keep incase I find someone in the country tomorrow that will buy them.
After storing the wolves I climbed into my camp before falling alseep on a pile of leaves. Waking up the next moring nice and refreshed, I prepared myself for the trip to the country.

Chapter 7. Arth (2)

When making a VR game, creators would normally go through two types of problems.

One was how to make players adapt to the virtual world and the second was their distaste for killing living creatures.

To them, the virtual creatures looked no different than real, living creatures.

The first problem was something the players had to solve for themselves by slowly adapting their bodies to the virtual world.

But it was up to the content creators to solve the second problem. VR game creators found the need to design their games so that players could more easily focus on the game.

If blood exploded out whenever one swung his sword, or if one pierced a creature with a spear and could feel its dying heartbeats. 

What if the creature's organs started spilling out through a cut on their belly, or if one crushed a monster's head and its brain exploded everywhere, then the game would have to be 18+.

If that happened, then the VR game will not be able to appeal to the wider audiences. Many game companies will make the game childish in order to satisfy all age groups. 

But Ark was different!!

One of the main content of Ark involved fighting monsters, and the game creators believed polishing this aspect to the utmost was the path to success.

Thus, they made game battles as realistic as possible.

By realistic, it meant cruel. Blood spurted, and that was it. No organs spilled out from cuts, no brains exploded out, but blood spurted out realistically.

Players could always turn this option off, but the fact this option existed was game-changing.

Furthermore, when monsters got injured, they wouldn't just sit still but roar angrily. They moved to cover their injuries, and they charged at whoever gave them the injury.

This was why Ark became the game to watch. Ark's battle was the cruelest and most breathtaking compared to any other game.

Conversely, to those playing VR games for the first time, it was a challenge. Many couldn't adjust to the game even after paying the large sum to buy a VR device.

They can't fight monsters head-on because of fear. The monsters look too realistic and dangerous to them, that's why Pegasus corporation made the Training Dungeon.

It was a dungeon specially designed for newbies to make them better adapt to the game and the monsters.

"The wolf is really realistic."

Ian muttered as he slashed the red werewolf with the beginner sword he had received from Gran.

The red werewolf let out a cry and died, turning into red shards.

<You have gained experience.>

Getting experience from the red wolves was easy after one is familiar with them.

At first, one would have to go to great bounds just to scratch it, but after some time, it was a monster great for leveling, especially for the newbies.

After Ian defeated the red werewolf, another one spawned at a distance. Through his red fur, Ian was able to see his red eyes which were staring at him.

Ian also stared back at him.

The red werewolf didn't cower in front of Ian's burning gaze. Instead, it strengthened its red eyes. In a battle of spirit, it wouldn't back down.

Growl!

The red werewolf let out a cry and jumped towards Ian.

Swish! Swish!

It swung its two arms in a rough, random manner. Ian didn't charge towards the red werewolf nor did it maintain a large distance from him.

Instead, Ian distanced himself by a small margin, avoiding the attacks barely, but he stayed in the zone of counter-attack.

It was one of the things Ian learned in the fantasy world.

As in boxing and other martial arts, it was best to maintain a small, delicate distance and counterattack every time one avoided an attack.

Doing this wasn't easy and only some experts can do it, it was only the bad luck of the red wolf that Ian was one of those experts.

Swish!

Ian dodged the claw of the red wolf and attacked.

The beginner sword drew a shiny-white trace in the air in a fraction of second. At the end of the gaudy semi-circle was the red wolf.

Like that, Ian kept attacking the red wolves. The wolves didn't give him many items. Rarely, there would be some drops.

These drops would be some 'red wolf fur' and 'red wolf meat'. 
You can turn meat to steaks by cooking on a bonfire, and red wolf fur is one of the most widely used materials for clothes.

This kind of production process requires related skills. Newbies rarely learn such skills as cooking and tailoring.

It is more often than not that these items are destined to end up on a shelf in the nearest grocery store.

'I will sell them later.'

Ian thought as he continued to hunt the red wolves. The red wolves were the only monster that will spawn in this Training Dungeon.

They were mostly level 3-5, the perfect meal for the newbies and they will make them accustomed to the monsters and level up them quite a bit.

Ian also leveled up quite a bit. Before he knew it, he was already level 7. Each level up gave him 5 bonus stats points to distribute.

He distributed them equally among his strength and stamina. Ian was looking for a combat-based class like a warrior or swordsman.

He felt that combat-based classes earn the most money in Ark, most of the rankers also have combat based class and his goal was earning money, not enjoying the game.

Combat based class was the way to go for him.

That's why he hunted the red wolves mercilessly. He slashed at their necks and blood spluttered out everywhere.

The red wolves that have just spawned felt a chill on their backs, the moment they saw Ian. They all had the same thoughts in their heads.

'What are those eyes…?'

'This human doesn't consider us his enemy but food.'

'He takes us for experience.'

'Nice EXPs. Great item drops. That's the only thing he considers us.'

Life has given him no mercy. There was no reason for Ian to give the red wolves any mercy.

Life was harsh, don't think that it's unfair. Just accepts it and fight your way upwards. That's the only way one can gain prestige in this world, especially Ark.

Slash! Splurt!

Ian slashed the neck of the last red wolf as he stood before a cave. The red wolf didn't drop anything. The drop rate was already low and Ian was not at all confident in his luck.

He has defeated all the red wolves in the Training Dungeon, there was only the boss left.

The boss of the Training Dungeon was known as the Blaze wolf. He was a boss monster that not many people can defeat.

Many newbies will try to complete the Training Dungeon by killing the boss, but they will always be left disappointed by the power of the Blaze wolf.

They will be able to defeat the red wolves but the Blaze wolf was a completely different thing. With his fierce claws and teeth, it can even throw fireballs from his mouth.

It was definitely not a monster a newbie can defeat.

'Let's do it!!'

After coming here, Ian can't go back. He didn't know if he will be able to defeat the Blaze wolf or not but he can at least try.

He can't go back without even trying.

Ian entered the cave thinking like that. The inside of the cave was somewhat dark but Ian was able to see. 

The ground was somewhat rocky. The more Ian delved[1] into the cave, the more the temperature rises.

'There is it!!'

Ian silently thought to himself. In the middle of the cave, a big wolf was sleeping. His fur was red like the red wolves, but his fur has more of a dark shade like it was flames itself.

Moreover, his claws were really big and Ian could tell that if he got hit by them even once, then he would be finished.

He has to be careful!!

Ian slowly moved towards the Blaze wolf without making any sounds. There was something common about all the wolves, they have a very sensitive nose and ears.

It was the same for the fantasy world and even Ark. Ian has already confirmed this with the red wolves earlier.

He planned to go for a surprise attack and stab the sleeping wolf before retreating. It was the best strategy he could think of since there was a large level difference between both him and the Blaze wolf.

<Lv. 12 Blaze wolf>

There was a 5 level difference between Ian and the Blaze wolf. Just a level difference can be fatal in Ark, so a 5 level difference was a thing to look out for.

'Let's do it.'

Ian went close to the Blaze wolf and prepared to stab his head with the beginner sword but before he could do it, the wolf opened his eyes and tried to bite him.

His response was like a viper that had been through countless battles!!

Thankfully, Ian rolled to the side and dodged the attack. He was barely able to avoid that attack and it had managed to scratch his arm.

<You have lost 50 health.>

<Your hand is bleeding. You will lose 1 health every second.>

'Shit!!'

Ian cursed in his mind as he saw those messages popping up. He currently had 650 health left and his health was depleting every second.

In around 11 minutes, he will die. He has to finish the battle quickly.

Growl!!

The Blaze wolf growled as he glared at Ian. His eyes were blazing red like there were raging flames in them. His attitude told him that he didn't like Ian trespassing in his territory.

"Bring it on, you damn wolf!!"

Ian swung the sword and confronted the Blaze wolf.

Howl!

Yelping, the Blaze wolf leaped on him. From that time, Ian's pose and moves changed drastically.

His legs were glued to the ground while his waist and shoulders rocked back and forth. Like a breeze, Ian let the fierce Blaze wolf pass by.

"I'll be a fool if I die here."

Ian has wasted too much time to come this far. He won't go back until he can soak himself in the Blaze wolf's blood.

Ian was capable of predicting the Blaze wolf's next move, and a single wound wasn't as much as he had been afraid of.

"I know I can defeat it."

Ian tightened his grip on the beginner sword. He had faced much more ferocious opponents in the fantasy world, he would not quiver before the Blaze wolf.

The only way to end this fight quickly was to confront the Blaze wolf head on!!

That's what Ian did, he leaped through the air to attack the eyes of the Blaze wolf. It was one of the vulnerable spots on his body.

But the Blaze wolf did the same. He also leaped up and attacked with his teeth. The sword and the Blaze wolf's teeth clashed together, letting out a clanging sound.

Clash! Swish!

Ian repeatedly swung around his sword and the wolf also attacked at the same time. Both of them were bleeding and their healths were going down.

Ian's health was already below 200 and the Blaze wolf was also bleeding from several parts of his body. That's why, realizing the situation, it took a step back.

Swoosh! 

The Blaze wolf distanced himself from Ian and started firing fireballs at him. Ian rolled around all over the cave just to dodge them.

"This damn wolf!!"

Curses kept pouring from Ian's mouth. He couldn't do anything about it. He was continuously being pushed back by the fireballs.

He couldn't even attack as the Blaze wolf was maintaining his distance from him. It was now only a matter of seconds before Ian will experience his first death.

'Let's take a chance.'

Ian thought as he started running towards the Blaze wolf at full speed. He was giving it his all to try to deal a final blow to the Blaze wolf.

The Blaze wolf health was already down by a lot and a critical hit can kill him. He just needed to deal the last blow to him.

The Blaze wolf also saw that and he spewed out fireballs in a hurry. Ian tried to dodge them but it was hard to dodge and run at the same time.

Because of that, one of the fireballs struck him on his left leg and he struggled to run, but he was already quite close to the Blaze wolf.

"It's now or never!!"

Ian shouted as he jumped at the wolf with all of his strength. The Blaze wolf was stunned by this and was not able to react at all.

Stab!!

In the end, he was stabbed in his head and with a whimpering noise, he succumbed to his death.

This is deep within the cloud pack's territory. Every wolf in this pack is pure white with soft silky fur. The alpha male in the Pack is named Scar for the mark across his right Eye. The female alpha and his mate is called Snow for as there are clouds there is snow. They were happy to be welcoming a pup into the world. Snow a just given birth to the pup it was the only one to be born. She asked Scar to bring the pup to her so she could see and clean it. They were surprised to find that their pup has silver fur with clouds around it paws.


        They had no idea how this could have happened for this has never happened to a wolf before. Though they were surprised they gave their pup the name, Silver Cloud, for it is what he looked like. They called for an elder of the pack named, Pure, who was Scar's mother. Pure came to their home as she was called. Snow asked Pure "Why was my pup born Silver with clouds around his paws?" Pure said she did not know for this has never happened in the history of the pack.


    For fear of what one would say if the pack ever found out about the strange pup they decide to hide and nurse the pup in secret from the rest of the pack. They told the pack that the pup had died in it's birth. They then took Silver Cloud to an empty home on the very edge of the pack grounds right outside the hunting grounds where they hunt raddits and white deer to be raised.




       In the wind pack the wolves all have grey fur for which is brisk from the wind that they live in. The alpha male of the pack is named Swift Wind. The female alpha and mate is called Soft Wind. They are also looking forward to the four pups that they were welcoming into the pack. The first three that were born out of the four were normal pup they were given the names, First Wind, Small Wind, and Fast Wind. The forth pup was late by half a day. She was born with wings on her back.


     The alpha pair called for the oldest wolf in the pack after the pup was born for they did not know why the pup was so different from every wolf they had seen. The elder named, Strong Wind, came to their home. Soft asked Strong," Why is this pup born with those on her back, Why is she different from her sibling and other wolves?". Strong answered, " I do not know for why such a special pup was born."


      Soft said to Strong, "I will not raise such a weird pup," and Swift nodded along with what was said. Strong said "Since you do not want this pup I will take this pup and raise it with the help of Storm Wind for she lost all her pups be for they were born and has plenty of milk for the pup to live off of." Strong grad the pup up by the scruff and carried it away.


     Strong entered the home Storm with the pup in his mouth. Storm came over and asked "Why do you have such a small pup in your mouth Strong?" Strong put down the pup and Storm turn it to face her and saw it had wings. Strong answered Storm "The pups parent did not want it for it had wings so I brought it to you."  A tear slipped for Storm's eye. "Poor pup they abounded you," She said to Strong "I will raise this pup as if it were my own." She said to the pup from now on you will be known as Flying Wind.






      In the sun pack all wolves have red fur with which was light but dry. The alpha males name is Flame for is fur look bright red. The alpha female and mate was named Red. They were welcoming a litter of two pups into the world. The first born was named Dark for his fur was a dark red. The second pup was born a little after the first. 

     Flame and Red were surprised for the pup for the pup was a deep shaped of red with flames like that from the sun around his paws that sparked the instant he was born. They gave the male pup the name Sun for that is what he look like. They brought the pups to the center of the pack so that all could see them. Flame spoke in a loud voice, "These pups are my sons for all you can see one of these pups is different from everyone. No one is allowed to make fun of or hurt them for they who dare will be punished."


      All of the pack gathered around the newborn pups. One of the Month Old pups asked " Why is this one so different from us?". Red growled " That does not matter for he is part of this pack and my son." The pup tucked his tail between his legs and lowered his head " Yes ma'am". An elder wolf stepped forward an asked "What will we call them?" Flame answered "There names are Dark and Sun." With that be said all the wolves when to there homes.





      The wolves of the moon pack fur were yellow with shades of brown. The alpha male of the pack was named Half Moon. The Female alpha and mate was named Cresten Moon. They were welcoming three pups into the world. The first two born were twins girls, they were named New and Full Moon. The third born was also a girland was born with the moon on his forehead. They named her Bright Moon. They would tell the pack about the three on there first full moon after there birth.




        The star pack fur was black to hide from birds of pray that came out in the dark. The male alpha was named Fallen Star. The female alpha and mate was named Shooting star. They were welcoming a single pup into the world. After Shooting Star gave birth she scooted the pup to her. She was surprised to see that her pups fur had stars in them as if the sky was imprinted on his fur. She called for Fallen who was outside their home standing guard with their older son named Lone Star. 
      They both came in and Fallen ask "Why did you call for me?". Lone poked Fallen in the side with his paw and said, "Look at my brother father is fur is filled with stars." Fallen went over to the pup and looked all over him. Fallen said, "It is as you have said." Lone said " Brother seems to be special."


      Fallen thought for a moment and then said "We will call Night Star for he look like the starry night." Lone looked at his brother and said, "I will protect him always from birds of prey, other who want to bully or hurt him in the future." Shooting Star smiled weakly as she watched her son stand over his brother a make that vow. She said "I can go now without worry.


     Fallen and Lone eyes shot over Shooting Star body and saw why she said that for altought she has stop giving birth she was still bleeding out. Fallen's ear pressed to his head and he growled "NO! Why, Why must you go?" he nussed his head close to Shooting Star. Lone stood over Night with a skocked look. 

       Shooting Star smiled with tears steaming down her face, "I knew I was to weak to bring a new pup into the world.....but I wanted to bring you a sibling...and child to help.....when you are lonely....do....not...blame...him...for....this." Fallen and Lone watched as Shooting Star took her last breath. As Shooting Star Stop breathing they suddenly heard the sound of whimpers thought they had remained quiet. They look at the pup and saw that it was crying even thought it could not possibly know what has happened.


       Lone spoke, "I will protect him and love him dearly for that is mother's wish." Fallen spoke, "I will protect him and love him dearly as that was my love wish." They made these vows as the starry sky shone brighter the ever.

"You aren't Sand?" A red wolf with black markings observed. "Who in Lupus' name are you?" He flattened his ears and took a defensive stance, curling his tail upwards and unsheathing his claws whilst baring his teeth.

"I-I'm Ion.." He backed away, this wolf seemed even more agressive than Pigeon was. "I'm new to the pack..." He flattened his ears and got low to the ground, trying to make himself look smaller. 

"Oh really?" His red and black fur bristled with fury. "Were you a loner before?" He growled. "Some sort of beach dweller?" 

"Leave him alone Temper." A white wolf from across the room barked. "He's whimpering like a scared chihuahua," he rolled over onto his stomach and yawned, "there's no way he's any threat to you." 

"Fine.." Temper growled, his teeth still bared. He glared at Ion before quickly stalking our of the den, the white wolf shrugging at Ion, before following him.

Ion sat down and shook his head, he hadn't met one wolf who actually likes him here yet. He was not making a good first impression on his denmates.

"Such foxes." a black wolf lay on his back, one paw in the air, he sheathed and unsheathed his claws. "Don't mind Temper," he advised, "he's just protective of the pack." He sat up and shook himself. "I'm Siren," he trotted over, his pretty black fur shining slightly, "you must be that dead mage's pups." 

"Wait to be insensitive." Emily muttered to herself. Her fur bristling slightly as she narrowed her eyes at the silky black wolf, showing slight aggression.

"Calm down Em." Ion rested his tail across her shoulder, trying to calm her down. 

"Don't worry," Siren soothed, "I'm just interested in figuring out if either one of you are mages." He sniffed at Ion and circled Emily, his copper eyes almost glowing in the dark as he examined them.

"Stop looking at us as if we're some sort of freaks!" Emily snarled. "We're not mages," she unsheathed her claws, "we're normal wolves just like you."

"Whoever said Mages were freaks?" Siren wore a disgusted look on his face, as if he were slightly offended. "I simply want to know if you are one." He sat down and scratched behind his ear, his whiskers twitching slightly. His fur became even prettier as the last light started to pour away from the inside of the den. "Also," he added quickly, "don't mind Pigeon and Sand," his eyes darted towards the door, "they're condescending flea brains."

"It's time for our pack meeting!" Temper yelled from somewhere outside the den. They all immediate ran out of the den to see what was going on.

Falcon stood on a small rock in the middle of camp, in front of him lay Rage and Claude's bodies. They were cleaned of all blood and arranged to look as though they were sleeping. 

"We pay our respects for the loner's fallen family members and welcome them as our own fallen packmates." He stood tall on the rock as every wolf bowed their heads, only Pigeon and Sand kept their heads high, quietly whispering to eachother about how boring the ceremony was. "Let the family of our fallen begin the howl."

Ion had never actually howled before, but he knew how to do it. He'd seen his father, mother and Claude do it before, so he knew he could howl too.

After his mother began the howl, and then his sister joined in, he stared to howl with them. It wasn't quite as beautiful as when his father used to howl, but he managed.

The rest of the pack began to howl as well, and then by the end, every wolf went quiet, Ion didn't even realize until he could only hear his own high pitched voice.

He stopped and looked around, some of his pack mates had scared looks on their faces, he could see sympathy on a couple of grey and brown she wolves in the back, and fascination on Siren's face. He looked at his mother and sister, Emily had a look that mixed fear, disgust and worry, while his mother had a look of pure hatred on her face.

"It seems your youngest pup has inherited his father's Mage Blood." Falcon let out a low growl, while Ion looked down at his paws and tail. Small ring shaped marking had appeared in his fur, they glowed a pale green with red flickering through them. "Why don't you show the pack what you can do, mutt?"

"What?" He began backing away, but bumped into Pigeon, who through him forwards towards Falcon. "I.. umm.." He crouched down and tried to keep himself as small as possible, hoping the world would just melt away and he'd be left alone. "I don't know how." He mumbled, beginning to repeat it over and over to himself. 

Falcon stalked towards him, before knocking him over tearing a scar into his shoulder, snarling as he dug his claws into his fur. Ion screamed in agony, but couldn't do anything.

"This mutt will be our second Omega." Falcon put pressure on him, keeping him stuck on the ground. "Anyone to defy this order had better be ready to join him."

He picked Ion up by the scruff and roughly dragged him over to a small den, with little to no shelter in it and tossed him inside. Fog, the grey, brown and white omega wolf, followed him inside as Falcon stalked away. He could hear him shouting at someone outside before everything started to grow quiet and it started to get late. 

*Are you ok?* He heard a voice whisper in his head, he spun around, trying to look for whoever was talking, but only Fog was in the den, her eyes closed tight with her paws over her snout.

"Who's there?" He muttered quietly under his breath. His fur bristled, what in Lupus' name could be talking to him.

*I am.* The voice felt like it was creeping through his mind, it was somewhat distorted, sad and dark. *Are you alright?*

"I'm fine." He ruffled up his fur, he looked back at Fog, the pale grey stripes that were on her face had turned a brilliant sky blue and glowed magnificently in the dark.

*Even after that?* The voice got louder and easier to hear. You're much braver than I could ever be. The voice was hauntingly cold as it spoke those words. *But you won't survive being the omega by being tough towards the Alpha.*

"And why is that?" Ion growled a bit, he didn't want to be told he was weak for being brave, that was the opposite of what he should be told! 

*Because the monster will cut something valuable of yours away from you if you so much as talk back.* Fog looked up at him with worried eyes. He narrowed his eyes at her, and the voice finally faded away. He knew he couldn't ask her if it was her, since he didn't even know if Falcon knew she was a Mage.
