The day of the marathon arrived, and the air in Vincardine completely changed. The whole town was ready for the event, and for the last two days, the participants from various towns and places flocked to Vincardine.
Edwin was very attentive this time as he took the charge of the security for this event. He had his men both humans and werewolves planted at all the strategic locations, in and around the boundary of Vincardine.
Many werewolves were also participating in this marathon. But with one condition- they couldn't use their werewolf powers and cheat in the race. To ensure that they were injected with a strong dose of wolfsbane, which was of course milder than Edwin's everyday dose.
It suppressed their werewolf powers for a few hours, and thus they could participate in the event along with humans and on equal fronts.
