Deep Forests

[Strike]

Strike was riding on the back of a black stallion. The sound of the hooves plopping against the ground slowly becoming the rhythm of the march. Next to Strike was Magic, who kept trying to stop to nibble at the grass, and behind him was Wolf, who continuously nipped at Magics legs to keep him going. Strike only smiled down at the Wolf who was like his Brother." I told you to stop trying to take breaks Magic." The Kragarian continued his slow ride, the heavy black traveler cloak billowing in the wind like wings.

As the company went deeper in the woods they slowed there pace." It's almost nightfall, let's rest here." He said to the couple beside him. After about half an hour they had found a clearing and a large fire was blazing. they knew this was a good realm so he wasn't worried about being spotted. Strike looked into the flames as he stroked Wolfs silk soft fur, Magic was out in the woods eating most likely. But Strike didn't worry for him, the horse was strong enough.

[Noel]

*a red flash was seen behind a tree...then another, in the opposite direction of strike's horse...then slowly noel's head crept from the shadow and she smiled* Hello...*she smiled and looked at the three*
(in human form)

[Strike]

Strikes nose had detected her before he heard her, then he saw the woman stick her head out. Strike let out a growl. He hated company. He didn't trust others and this woman was certainly not an exception. So Strike stood and looked at her, Wolf was sprawled out on his side next to the fire sleeping. And Magic was still gone. The Kragarian slowly pulled his cloak off and covered Wolf. He smiled alittle before looking back to Noel." Who are you?" He asked ina dark voice. His brown and black leather armor glinting in the fire light. The sword hanging losely from his side. Strike sniffed the air, he could detect a faintly familiar scent on her, but wasn't sure what it was.

[Noel]

*she smiled and her whole body came out from behind the tree* I am noel...*she threw two fish beside him, near the fire* And I am a bit hungry...May I sit with you?

[Strike]

The Kragarian glared at her. As soon as the fish had hit the ground, Wolf had woken, lunged, and eaten them whole." If I said no would you go away?" He asked sitting back down beside his fire. Wolf had put his head in his "brothers" lap and sighed contently as Strike stroked his ear. Magic came prancing from the Forests and saw the women." Who is she?" He asked looking at her." She smells like a wer...." He suddenly stopped knowing his friend didn't know yet what he was. And was still confused about his obsession with the moon and why he was so much different." She smells ...different." Magic finally said looking at her telling her with his eyes not to mention werewolves.

[Noel]

*here eyes widened and she nodded then looked at strike* well..no..if you deny me what I want..I would probably be more persistant..*she said smiling* Hello..*she said as she walked to wolf and pet him gently on the side*

[Strike]

Magic thanked her by nuzzling her gently then going over to the fire and plopping down. He yawned tiredly and fell asleep quickly. When Noel tried to pet wolf, he snapped at her and barred his teeth. He also knew what she was, and how she could crush his Brother. He wouldn't let that happen." Then sit and stay aslon as you want." Strike said still looking into the flames. He could already feel the changes. A full moon was in a couple of days and his body was already changing. His sense were hightened, the black veins covered his body inside of the normal color, and his strength and speed where even greater then usual. Something was happening, and Wolf and Magic knew what it was.

[Noel]

*she looked at wolf and made a sort of growling remark, as if in another language..she then looked at strike...she tried to stop herself but couldn't help it and sniffed of his hair..she quickly sat back and blushed a bit* I...*she looked at wolf...she wanted to tell strike so bad..but couldn't*

[Strike]

Strike watched her sniff his hair and looked at her in puzzlement." What are you doing?" He asked her abit shocked. She was odd. And on top of that, he swore she had talked to Wolf. Magic stamped the ground with one hoof as a subtle reminder for her to keep quiet. Strike noticed this, on top of Wolf acting weird." What the hell is going on?" He demanded standing up. This woman was making his friends act odd, and now she was sniffing him! He had to know what she knew, and what hsi friends knew. they weren't telling him something and it was angering him.

[Noel]

*she quickly put on a fake smile* oh it was a joke! honestly do you really think I go around..sniffing..people..*she said andher expression went to a bit nervous..she looked at magic for help but he could say nothing to her*

[Strike]

He could tell she was lying and glanced at Magic." You damn horse, tell me whats going on!" He yelled angrily kicking the fire sending embers everywhere." Careful Boy!" Magic boomed standing up." Remember I saved you, show alittle more respect!" He said looking into Strikes eyes facing off with him." Remember I am the only one who will stand your sight, Half-Breed!" He yelled angrily. Magic stood there shocked. They had fought before, but Strike had never attacked him like this. Angered Strike walked away from Wolf,Magic, and Noel. He didn't want to see any of them. His friends were lying to him, a strange woman knew secrets with people he thought of as family. And he was changing again. What is happening!

[Noel]

*noel stood shocked...she gently kissed magic's snout as a sign of apology, and ran to strike..she put her hands on his chest and stopped him* Strike..are you sure..you are..ready to here the truth?....you may think you are strong strike but...what has happened to you is nothing short of hell...if I tell you..you might..go insane..that is why we need to be careful alright?..just..calm down, no one here is trying to be your enemy...

[Strike]

Strike grabbed her wrists and squeezed with enough pressure to snap them." Tell me then. I know about the whispers of me being a Werewolf, I also know them to be false. I have seen full moons before but never changed instead this happens." He said angrily ripping his shirt open showing the black veins that traced his chest." I doubt you can tell me whats wrong, but go ahead give it a shot. For amusements sake." The Kragarian said cruelly.

[Noel]

*when he grabbed her wrists she screamed and turned into a silver color werewolf..she grew and rose to about 11 feet she looked down at him and grabbed his arm* I am noel, Princess of the silver werewolves and that is what you are!..you are no normal werewolf..you are significant and different, do you understand!?..you are going through the beginning phase and soon you will go completely mad and try to kill all who are within arms reach of you..that will be your first actual transformation...you have the priveledge of being a silver werewolf, and you abuse it...*she threw him against a tree* if you ever speak to me or your friends like that, you will be forced to have a quite rude awakening! *she said in almost a roar now* when you face the werewolves from these parts they will rip you to shreds unless you can control your temper..do you understand me!?..I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU HERE...but fine!..if you wish for your life to be taken, and your body to be eaten and split, you may wander these lands with that attitude and act as if your not a werewolf..but you are, and you cannot deny it strike..*she pointed to his chest* this blood is cursed but with it comes power and responsibility...you have been cursed strike..and now you must deal with it..no one but you can...it is your burden to bare..and only yours...*she slowly crept back to her normal height..she was sweating..and her hair ravished...she looked at him with no pity..but understanding*

[Strike]

Strike let out a loud roar and charged at her ramming his shoulder into her." These werewolves here will die if they ever try to touch me!" He yelled angerily. He didn't fear her, or the thought of death. What did he have to lose. A horse and a Wolf. they would move on when he was gone. That thought of being able to brave death only made hima stronger warrior." I ma not a Werewolf!" He yelled grabbing ihs head and walking away." My Mother wasn't one. I was delivered in a Temple. they told me she wasn't one!" He screamed into the night. His words becoming growls and snarls as he began to change, but not into his Werewolf form. His Kragarian hybrid blood turned him into his advanced human form. his skin turned a dark blue and black veins were visible on him. His eyes became black as did his hair. He grew longer fangs and his nails turned to talons. Suddenlt the Kragarian appeared over Noel. His mouth open a growl coming out.
