"Sir, what are you doing here late at night near the village?" A wolf in silver armor questioned. He stood in front of the odd figure, blocking their path.
The wind howled, shaking the trees around them and the sky turned dark.
A shadowy figure of a wolf with wings stood before the guard. Then the shadow leaped out of the darkness, revealing their appearance.
The wolf's body of fur was rather dark and their wings were slightly worn out. A hint of gray with a tint of black was in their fur. One eye was amber while the other had an odd purple smoke coming from it.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8TJjOXeVU
"Oh just visiting an old friend" the dark wolf answered, sarcastically. 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl0ofkcCmh
The guard turned his head around, reaching for his sword. He unsheathed his blade, clenching it in between his jaws. "Ha! did you think I would fall for that, Shadoweye? You speak of lies. Why are you really here?" He interrogated, inching towards Shadoweye.
Shadoweye cackled but didn't respond. With a swift swipe, he landed a hit on the guard and tackled him. He bared his fangs and snarled, "You know exactly why I'm here. Tell me the location of the scare blade," Shadoweye proceeded to push his paws down on his chest. "We need its power. We need all of the blades of Anzellix. There must be no wait!"
The guard bared his fangs and pushed him off. He seized his sword in his mouth and charged towards the dark wolf. Shadoweye rolled to the side and got up. He raised his head up and howled. A pool of shadow formed around him and he vanished. The guard scanned the area, panicking.
He turned around to see a cloud of black smoke disappear. Shadoweye leaped out of the darkness, tackling him. 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfcv48M72n
"Get off me, you brute!" the guard growled, thrashing underneath him.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0oSfgZm44
"Oh, I can't possibly let you go after you tried...intimidating me. Now if you excuse me I have better things to do. I don't need to be meddling around with weaklings like you!" Shadoweye sneered. He hesitated and his ears perked up to the sound of unwelcomed growls. He turned his attention to the large pack of other guards. They snarled and glared at him.
The guard rolled away from him and got up. "Shadoweye, you have been outnumbered by us! Leave while you're still in one piece!" He quickly boasted, positioning himself in between Shadoweye and the pack.
Shadoweye darted past him and leaped over the rubble near the entrance of the village. He turned around and shouted in a snarl, "You'll regret this gray one. I'll make you eat those words!" He leaped into the air, uncoiling his wings and flying away into the dusk sky. Nobody knows how he returned but, this was bad news for the kingdoms, especially the Moonlight Kingdom. With Shadoweye back, the rumors of the prophecy have come back. 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35QhDs5mRZ

A dark brown wolf quietly sat on the earthy ground beneath them, watching the guards assemble. He stood up, puffing his chest out.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RFTon4PjT
"He's back and trying to cause trouble again" the mysterious wolf stated, sighing a bit.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj2zKw9YIi
One of the guards approached the young wolf. The guard looked up at him in surprise, "What do you mean? Where on Anzellix did you come from?" He questioned, cocking his head to the side. The smaller wolf glanced at the white-furred guard, "The King of Moonlight's child is alive out there somewhere. I'm sure that you're aware of the prophecy? No?" He responded, raising his head up to level with the guard.
"Oh, that's some good news. I'm sure I've heard of it. Does it actually matter though? Orail said something about that brute wanting the blades of the kingdoms" The guard answered back, looking away for a minute. The small wolf glimpsed at him and said nothing for a moment. He then answered, "There were sightings of someone entering the Broken Core. Nobody knows who though. If the case with the scare blades is bad enough, send letters to the rulers. Notify them about this problem. We don't want whatever Darkmoon is planning." The guard's ears twitched, "That's bad enough. We don't need all of this nonsense again..." he murmured, concern in his voice. The wolf turned and jumped off the rock. The guard tilted his head, "Where are you going? What is your name?" the guard asked, shouting back. The wolf turned around, "To the city to warn the Elite about his return. I'm Ti by the way." Ti answered, shouting back.
He rushed through the village, quickly entering the Evergreen Forest. The guard sighed in return and made his way back to camp. 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9gjGsHvtE

The cold wind brushed up against Ti's fur as he ran through the forest. He halted at an unusual dead end. There was a stone wall that was covered by numerous amounts of green moss and mushrooms. It was built-in with an odd paw print symbol carved into it.
Ti placed a paw on the wall's symbol, chanting something quite odd. The wall clicked and opened upwards, allowing him to continue his way through. He headed toward the exit of the tunnel and stopped for a moment to catch his breath.
Ti finally made his way to a large three-story building that had a horn attached to the door. He then approached the door, speaking into the horn.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh130ZfyI57
"I'm here with some very important news." He stated.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqRjZispJs
The door opened, sliding up. He stepped onto the cold stone floor. Ti sighed, looking up an unwanted flight of stairs his way.
Ti finally made it to a dark room with a series of candles that seemed to be the only source of light around him. The flames on the ivory candles flickered and Ti looked up.
There were four other wolves who sat there quietly, waiting in the darkness around a black coated oval table. The lighting in the room barely helped him. It was hard enough seeing who they were. Finally one speaks up, 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH4Yuifxn8
"What is the news, Ti?" the first wolf asked from their spot. 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LljgIxGZr
Ti blinked his eyes through the darkness, trying to make out the figure, "Shadoweye is back" He replied, instantly.
The wolf said nothing in reply then backed away, growling.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmATVOjdooU
"That's impossible! The Moonlight king's brother? The one he banished and sealed away?! How? What of the prophecy?" they implored, anger noticeable in their voice.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYr8uLynv
"T-there was a report from a Moonlight Kingdom guard. He was patrolling the path near the Broken Core, a rather unsettling path. When he turned his head, an odd colored animal had raced past him. It was hard to identify them." Ti quickly answered back, eyeing the other wolves. "I'm certain that it will come true. Swift and Speed have said good news. He may be ready" Ti then added. The second wolf spoke up,437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BMbmc5LPU
"Who sent you here, young apprentice?" The second wolf asked, gazing up at him.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHKSBC3UUN
"Arkoh" Ti answered back. 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo9odiMzg4
The third wolf glanced behind themselves for a minute then turned to face Ti. 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcz74ZYeO9
"Do you know anything else?" The wolf third asked. 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEvez4683u
Ti looked up, "The Blades of Anellix. One guard named, Orail, said Shadoweye wanted the swords. No one knows why though" he informed.
There is silence in the room for a few seconds. Ti had grown uneasy in those seconds. He wondered if his mission was a trick after all. Arkoh had not said a word about the Elite being so odd and suspicious.
The final wolf broke the silence, looking up at him. The wolf's yellow eyes glowed through the darkness in admiration.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1LtVQZX7G
"Ti, thank you for delivering us this information. Even if that arrogant wolf tries. He won't get them because there's high security everywhere. You should get back to your mentor. He might be ripping his fur out in worry" The wolf with yellow eyes chuckled.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXCkmNXNSF
Ti glanced back at the other wolves and they nod in approval. He bowed and quickly left.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM4uJqbbBm

Ti stopped at the den where his mentor was waiting for him. He entered the den, searching for his mentor. He then stopped the head of a rather large dark gray wolf, peeking out from behind a table.
He knew he was awaiting his arrival and the news he had brought with him. He took notice of the den. It was a little...messy. Books were stacked on each other. Paper was scattered everywhere and scrolls were open and lying on the ground. Ti was terrified by the sight. What had his mentor done? Lose his mind?! 437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwjH2LIZEX
"Did you do it? Was it a success? That information was critical from that messenger. What did they say?" The larger wolf asked, firing questions at him.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7TKKpmpdw
"Yes, I did. It was wonderful! I pulled the act as you said. I'll be ready in no time!" Ti yipped happily. Ti then paused and glanced up at Arkoh. “Uh, they thanked me and said something about having high security around the city. Not sure if that will make a difference”
Arkoh walked to his miniature wooden bookshelf. He turned his head sideways, grabbing an odd-looking book from one of the shelves. He headed back, dropping the book and opening it with his paw. Arkoh quietly stared at the first page. “The prophecy...what does it mean I’m still so lost. Is he to reunite the kingdoms?” he asked, glancing up at Ti with a puzzled look. Ti frowned at his mentor, "You didn't know about him. He was born...not too long ago? Actually, a few years ago that is" He informed Arkoh glanced up at his apprentice, "What? Why would I forget that? Whale Island is his current location. I have to send them to him." He replied back, lifting a paw to his head.
"Well, that is what the prophecy is all about...I think. Are you sure he won't pick a fight or anything?" Ti questioned, eyeing the open book that lay in front of them. Arkoh turns his head towards the book, reading the prophecy for the hundredth time.
"We can only hope for the better. If things don't turn out well then..." Arkoh responded, not finishing and shutting the book with a quick swipe of his paw. He couldn't get his head wrapped around the written prophecy. Was the Moonlight King's heir the key of victory or not what they believed.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyMobkTGki
