Volk: NO EVERYTHING ISN'T ALRIGHT!
Sobaka: Whoa, whoa...what happened?
Volk: We lost Inu and Kitsune lost an arm...
Sobaka: Oh...I uhh-
Volk: Don't say a word...let's go check on Okami and Kit.
Sobaka: Right...
Volk: Lykos, you coming with?
Lykos: I gotta check on Ale, I'll go after.
Volk: Alright.
Volk made his armor disappear and started walking to where Okami went, Lykos ran over to Alepou and Skylos.
Lykos: How is she?
Skylos: Well, she's breathing...
Lykos: Let's head inside, I'll carry her.
Skylos: Sure.
Lykos grabbed Alepou up and carried her to the bedroom and sat down next to her. He grabbed her hand and held it tight. He started thinking about the nightmare again, he thought about how to change the future. "So, can you give me a chance at having some sort of life now?" said Argos in his head.
Lykos: Now's not the time, once we get out of this situation I'll think about it.
Lykos remembered that Hildur had mentioned Accalia back before the fight. He thought "What the hell did she mean 'Children of Accalia'? What the hell was dad up to...? "
"He could be referring to these two, after all, they were the only other ones in the dark room." Argos spoke out in Lykos' head.
"UGH! Whatever, that old bastard never came back." Lykos yelled out, kicking the door frame as he walked into the room.
In the other house, Okami was sitting next to Kitsune who had passed out. Volk and Sobaka stood by them just in case they needed anything.
Okami: Hey Volk, why'd you stand still when Thor was using lightning against you?
Volk: Oh that...I'm immune to electricity, but I can't move when I get hit by it. That smoke you saw coming out of my mouth was also an after effect of that, I had to let out the harmful energy of that blast somehow.
Sobaka: You should've seen him back at the academy, the man got struck by lightning and kept walking like it was nothing.
Okami: What the hell? How do you find out that you're immune to electricity?
Volk: Well...the first time I ever got hit by it was when I was a kid, I got struck by lightning three times. The second was when I was still in school, I was walking home from a long day at school and a man out of nowhere threw a fucking eel at me.
Okami: What the fuck? How does a man just throw a fucking eel at you?
Volk: Beats me, it just happened. But that's not all, the third time was when I was working with a car battery and out of curiosity I decided to shock myself to see if I could live.
Okami: Why? What in heaven's name made you think that was a good idea?
Volk: I was testing out the theory that I was immune to it. I mean at this point I think I'm immortal until something proves me otherwise.
Sobaka: This man fought a bear once, no weapon, no armor, just fist to claws. He won.
Okami: What the fuck is wrong with you?
Volk: Again, immortal until proven otherwise.
Okami: What the actual fuck...?
Volk: What about you? How did you get the stretching power?
Okami: Oh that...when I was young, Inu and I had...
He looked towards the ground and took a deep breath.
Okami: I kinda don't want to talk about it now...
Volk: Fair enough.
Okami: Although that did remind me of something, check back where Hildur died. There might be an orb there...also check where Inu was.
Volk: Right, Sobaka stay here.
Sobaka: Will do.
Volk left the house and wandered to where they were fighting earlier, he saw Aster and Lykos talking about some orbs they had found on the floor. He approached them and joined the conversation.
Volk: Yo.
Aster: Oh hey, is everything alright?
Volk: Yeah, I uhh...Okami told me to check if there were some orbs around here, and apparently you found them before me.
Lykos: Do these orbs mean anything?
Volk: I don't know, you should probably ask Okami. Come with me so we can all ask him.
Aster and Lykos followed Volk, before they entered, Lykos grabbed Volk's coat.
Volk: Hmm?
Lykos: I'm confused about something...where's Inu's-
Volk: Gone...when a Telum user dies, their body just disappears.
Aster: I heard about that but never really seen it happen...
Volk: Yeah...it's convenient but...I wouldn't just wanna disappear off the face of the Earth like that.
Lykos: Hmm...
Volk: Let's go in now...try not to mention Inu, please.
Aster and Lykos: Yeah...
They all entered the house and saw Sobaka talking about something.
Sobaka: -and then he says 'Just go in! It's not that big."
Volk: What the fuck are you talking about?
Sobaka: Oh hey, remember that one time you were playing that tank game.
Volk: Ah...right. Anyway, these two found 3 orbs on the ground.
Lykos: Actually four.
Okami: Four?! Give me.
Lykos and Aster handed them over, Okami put one up to inspect it, it was an orange one, it was also hot.
Okami: This is Inu's fire power...
He put another one up to inspect it, it was cyan and was very light.
Okami: I have no idea which one this is.
He put the next one up to inspect it, this one seemed to have figures that seemed similar to the group moving.
Okami: This has to be his future sight...
He put the last one up to inspect it as well, this one was blue and had different animals and figures that were almost spirit-like.
Okami: This could be Hildur's reviving power.
Lykos: So those orbs have the power of the last user?
Okami: Kinda, sometimes they changed a bit once they pass to the new user. My stretching power was from an orb that I got in the past, it used to be from someone who could change the entire way his body was.
Volk: Umm, I know that the future vision orb is Inu's, and you should keep it but...can I use it? I'm the only other person with more Telum knowledge here...
Okami: If I give it to you...promise to tell us everything important that happens in the future.
Volk: I will, I'll make sure no harm comes to you.
Okami handed over the orb reluctantly.
Okami: Please, use it well...
Volk: I will....but...how exactly do you use it?
Okami: ...I thought you were the most knowledgeable...
Volk: When it comes to Telums yes, when it comes to powers....no.
Okami sighed a put his hands forward.
Okami: Put it in between your hands and squeeze it as if you were gonna break it.
Volk said as Okami did, he then had a vision of the future immediately.
Volk: Whoa...let me guess, your next line will be 'Oh'.
Lykos: Oh......so I guess that worked.
Volk: Yep, why did you say 'Oh' though?
Lykos: Well my healing power is from an orb that I accidentally used.
Okami: How do you accidentally...you know what, never mind that. Sobaka, you want this cyan orb?
Sobaka: Uhh...sure.
He tossed it over to Sobaka, and he used it, a second later, Sobaka started levitating a bit.
Lykos: Huh?
Lykos remembered when he levitated for a second back in the forest.
Sobaka: Well...I don't know how I can help with this power.
Okami: You could carry things faster, so if any of us is badly hurt then you can carry us out of battle.
Sobaka: Fair enough I guess...
Lykos: ...I'm gonna go check on Alepou...
He started walking towards the door.
Aster, Volk and Okami: Wait.
Lykos stopped in his tracks.
Lykos: Huh?
Aster: Who was fighting along with us?
Volk: It sure didn't seem like you, he was more assertive.
Okami: And how did he heal my hands back completely?
Lykos: ...That was Argos, he's another personality within me. Can I go now? I'm really worried about Ale.
Volk: Sure but you know that we'll question you more later.
Lykos: Right...
"So now they know of my existence, good. I'll leave you be for now." said Argos in Lykos' head. Lykos stayed quiet and went back to the house where Alepou and Skylos were in. Night arrived, and the girls still hadn't woken up, they all decided to sleep and wait for morning to arrive. Lykos was the only one who stayed awake waiting for Alepou to wake up. He kept thinking about how to change the future if that nightmare was to come true even when his eyes felt like they were closing by themselves...
