The hours croaked by now as she sat before a fire, her back against a tree as she lay resting. Her eyes slowly closing though still alert, looking left and then right. The hooting of the owls in the distance upon the gentle breeze of the midnight air. A mother bear strolled on just ahead with two cubs following close. The same coyote from before strolled alongside the mother, yet no hostility arose whatsoever.
Elise’s eyes moved up, the moonlight shining brilliantly. True and true it was peaceful. A twig cracked just ahead, startling her. She rubbed her eyes and opened them wide, shock filling her. Large wolves now sat before her, several staring.
“Wha-what?”
A calmness swept over her at once as she looked into their eyes. They stood at once, the moonlight reflecting off their pelts as a glowing silver.
“Amarok-”
At once they circled and began to walk off into the forest’s darkness, one stopping just before it turning its head back. The head lowered and then rose, almost as if nodding.
“Do you want me to follow you?” Elise murmured standing up at once.
Again the wolf gave what appeared to be a nod and then padded away. Elise glanced to the flames and quickly dumped a canister of water over, extinguishing the fire before following. She crept through the darkness, their tails swishing and swooshing as they moved, standing taller than Elise and as such easier to follow.
“Where are we going?” she asked out loud.
Seconds turned to minutes, minutes that stretched on and on as they moved. Her eyes moved around as they went, “What’s going on? Where are they taking me?”
Her mind shifted, “{There are many stories about the Amarok, how they can be vengeful yet very helpful. Usually when one is observed it means something that could be considered greatness so long as they do not anger the Amarok. Those were Lucy’s words as I recall. She also stated that they had noticed me just as I had noticed them, that they see something. What are they up to though?}”
Ahead a clearing was visible where the moon’s glow shined bright, ahead where several Amarok stopped. Elise approached with the last and came out. To her right sat three and to her left sat four. Her gaze moved left to right, up and then down. Below was a huge dip in the land, “This is- {No way it is, they brought me to Lazlo Pass? But why?}”
She glanced to the right, “{What are- hey, they’re looking off to the right down below, same with the Amarok to my left. What’s-}”
Goblins moved around below, many upon many easily recognizable by their green skin and scrawny bodies beneath the moon’s light, “Goblins. You brought me here to show me Goblins? If this is the pass then I was right, Father was trying to get me attacked.”
To the right more so then before the Amarok glanced again, to which Elise followed their stare. At once her face turned blue and her eyes grew big, “Wait a minute, is-is that-”
A man walked among the Goblins, a man with long spiked brown hair, hair that went down his back with bangs to the sides of his head. His eyes glowing amber almost blood red before the moon, a grin revealing teeth sharpened.
“Dustin?” she stammered, “Why is he-”
Her jaw hung and her eyes grew to the biggest they had been in a long time. Below Dustin moved among the Goblins with his mouth moving, and it was at this point that the black coat with red stars patterned all over it began to flap viciously, “That’s- wait, I get it now-”539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p20mtx0c0

“Canny again, I love it. Let’s just say Stark Pack has recently acquired some very convenient allies that’ll make our takeover that much easier,” David had spoke.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGtpe0EOPk
“This is the power I have been granted by my new allies. I am now stronger than any Vampire, Zaherian, Goblin, Drachen, anything! And now you die,” Dustin had laughed.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdMKAe6LPr

“Medontei’s cheek, their words, that man who visited Vulfax wore. Stark Pack was ready for- and here these guys are waiting for me. I get it now, I get it! Father has been working with Dustin, he’s been working with that Medontei guy, he’s been working to sabotage the clan. Father is a traitor- no, I’ve got to get back at once!” she spat turning around bolting off into the forest immediately.
All at once her head perked up. She flipped round to the right, the faint echo of metal on metal ringing out. Then a flare of firy light in the distance, and what seemed like a brief yell. Her eyes closed, opening fierce after.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7gkDkibMX
