Chapter 6: Obstacles

Joshua and Saint are running at amazing speed thru the caverns As they are moving they begin to talk.

Joshua, “Where did that boy get those Mart’e and why does he have so many?”
Saint looking forward, “You could see them? That in itself is quite interesting.”
Joshua, “Well?”
Saint, “Very well, they were a gift from teacher to student. He is very talented.”
Joshua curiously,
“How could you have given them to him? You are not a warlock.”
Saint, “I have friends in many different genres my dark friend.”
Joshua, ”Those Mart’e are forbidden outside of Warlock and Demon, he should not have them. It is far too dangerous.”
Saint, “ I am well aware of the risk, sir.”
Joshua stops he turns to Saint as he stops, “Have you ever heard of The Nine?”
Saint nods his head, “Yes, the legendary Nine Warlock, they were well respected. It is said that they were so strong, they defeated all opponents. Vampires, Wolves, and Demons alike.”
Joshua, “Yes, they got arrogant and began attacking their own. They were killing any warlock that didn’t agree with their ways.”
He turns away from Saint and continues, “one day they faced the head of the governing house. They under estimated him and his power.”
Saint curiously,
“Yes, I have heard this, the lone warlock that defeated them.. Sealer of the 9”
Joshua, “He defeated them by creating specific Mart’e to steal and  separate all their power. It was forbidden for anyone to use those seals. No human can have that power, it is corrupted.”
Saint, “I see.”
Joshua, “For his sake I hope he doesn’t know how to open all of them.”
He speeds off into the cavern. Saint turns and looks behind him then takes off after Joshua.
We see Daniels and the others picking up their weapons cloaks off the cavern floor. They are all a few yards apart.
Then Daniels walks over to Vaan, Vaan notices this and turns towards him.
Daniels. “so how the heck did you do that again?”
 Stevens from a few feet away, he is walking towards them. “Yeah I would like to know just what in Savior’s name that was myself boy.”
Vaan looks at both of them and rubs the top of his head as if he is a little nervous.
Daniels, “You a Warlock or something?”
Stevens, “If that’s the case kid, you're in the wrong place.”
Vaan holding his hands up towards them. “No, no. I’m not a Warlock.”
He turns and starts walking in their previous direction, slowly.
Vaan with his back to them,
“They are a gift from Master Saint, he had a friend bestow them upon me. He said individually they will come in handy. A few of them will do the trick, and most of them together make anything think twice.”
Stevens. “All of them at once?”
Vaan stops and turns his head towards them but not completely.
Daniels, “hmmm, I see.”
Stevens, “Well let’s go. We don’t have all day.”
Vaan turns his head back forward and takes a deep breath.
Daniels Is suddenly right beside Vaan. Vaan is a little surprised.
Daniels looking at Vaan,
“What? You didn’t think we could move that fast?”
Stevens comes up on his other side.
Stevens with his hand on Vaan’s shoulder, “Yeah  we were holding back, kid.”
Vaan looks strait ahead, “Don’t hold back for me.”
He suddenly darts ahead leaving the two standing looking at each other.
Daniels looks at Stevens for a second then says,
“I’m not letting the rook beat me!”
He darts off after Vaan. Stevens does the same, without hesitation.

There is a Giant Wall surrounding Dark Uno, the humans Washington D.C. Home of this lands past rulers. It was remodeled to suit it’s new occupants  a few hundred years ago. As a reminder to humans that this land is no longer there’s. On the far side of northern wall is Haven, Walter, and Cynthia. They are sitting and standing as if waiting for something or someone.
Haven is Leaning against a tree, that has grown beside and slightly over the huge wall, with his arms folded.
Cynthia whom is sitting down on the wall,
“I am bored with this, where is the blood shed?”
She is scraping a dagger across the cement.
Walter whom is dressed in a blue suit, “I too am getting tired of waiting, I do hope they hurry.”
Haven still says nothing. Soon they hear a voice from a distance,
Voice, “You there! up on the wall!”
Haven looks down to see who it is, but suddenly they are there on the wall among them.
It is Two Vampires dressed in Chain mail and armor, One with long blonde hair well kept, the armor is silver with blue cloth hanging from under the chain mail down to mid thigh in the front, with a cloak inside white and outside is blue. The other has short dark hair unkempt his armor the same with no cloak, they both carry a sword on their backs as well as a shorter one on there left side. One is very large framed, around 6’6”, maybe 280lbs.
The smaller one, which is closer to Haven speaks, “Tell me good prince, is there a reason you are on this wall?”
Cynthia, “Why? Do you wanna play Humpty Dumpty?”
The big vampire stands over Cynthia and bellows, “Quiet you filthy slut. No one is addressing you.”
Walter puts his hand on the handle of his sword, “Now Alex, is that anyway to talk to a woman? Especially one that far out ranks you in  status politically and socially.”
Alex, “She is nothing, her mother is no longer here to protect her, she is just a crazy, cannibal is all!”
Just then Cynthia does a head spin and trips Alex then flips to her feet with two Sai draw towards him.
Cynthia, “If I am nothing then you are less than nothing. You will not utter a word close to insulting my mother in my presence.”
Alex draws his sword half way out of its sheath.
Haven yells, “Waiting! We are waiting Christopher.”
Christopher pats Alex on the shoulder, then Alex stands up beside Christopher while looking at Cynthia. Cynthia blows a kiss to him and smiles.
Christopher, “Waiting? For what?”
Walter, “We are just waiting and taking in the pleasant scenery."
 Christopher looks around and sees nothing but dead land and creatures scavenging for food in the fields.
Chris, “If that is how you want it.”
 He goes for his sword. 
Eric from behind them speaks, “Are you going to show us your pretty knife Sir Christopher?”
Christopher turns slowly and sees Eric, Michael behind him and Stephanie beside Michael holding his arm.
Eric looking at Christopher moving his hand away from his side mounted sword.
Eric, “Now, go on I’m sure we all would like to see what you were about to do, I know I would.”
Christopher turns to Haven, ”Your day is coming, rest assured, your highness”
Eric, “what day is that, pray tell?”
Christopher looks back slightly at Eric as he and Alex walk away, then jump down to the inside of the wall.
Haven, “I didn’t need saving Eric. I was just fine.”
Eric, “I know you were, I just like making them piss their pants.”
He grabs the back of Haven’s neck gently  then messes his hair, they both give a little laugh.
Michael, “Where is Melissa?”
Walter, “Relax, Haven said she would be here right before the ceremony in the morn so just wait.”
Eric walking over to Michael putting his arm around him for reassurance.
Eric, “I’m sure your sister has it all running smoothly on her end.”
Back in the village of the Grey wolves.
We see a rabid wolf growling, then we see another wolf in front of him. Thy are both huge at least seven feet tall. Fur dirty as if rolling on the ground, Blood and scars in different places on both. They are at a stalemate They stare and growl at each other but do not attack.
Just then more wolves come from the woods behind the original two.
There is a log wall protecting the Grey wolves village. The wolves are trying to get in.
Inside the walls everyone, male and female are changing. Then heading towards to gate of the wall where the other wolves are trying to get in. suddenly a dark fiery mass flies over to the inside of the Wall. Wolves are getting out of the way. A female is near that hasn’t change she looks down and sees that it was the lone wolf that was protecting the gate just moments ago. She Howls and changes then runs further inside the village.
Inside the building Wayne and Melissa were in earlier, Melissa is looking thru her satchel. Wayne is in a smaller room. She can hear him fumbling thru things and slightly growling.
Melissa still looking inside her satchel speaks to him, “Are you okay?”
Wayne still in human form but with sharp wolf teeth and red hued eyes, says in a deep raspy voice, “everything is not okay!”
He has huge armor in his hands too big for his frame.
Wayne to Melissa, “do you not hear, we are under attack!?”
Melissa, “I hear the noise outside, I thought they were playing.”
Wayne  angrily, “Playing, be glad that you hold the parchment.”
He storms out, he is met outside by the female wolf from a few moments ago.

She speaks in a deep voice while still in wolf form,
“The Green Rock tribe is attacking us!”
Wayne nods his head, she then rushes off jumping on builds and running along walls back towards the gate. Wayne puts on the over sized armor. Melissa walks out seeing this and just watches. Wayne changes into a huge brown and black werewolf, that appears to be bigger than any of the other werewolves in the village. His armor now fights his huge werewolf frame. He looks at Melissa then runs off towards the gate.
At the gate there is an army of heaving, growling were wolves. Inside the gate some with metal chest plates others without. They are all growling at the other wolves pounding at the gate to get in. They are roaring on the other side of the gate, clawing and scratching at the walls.
Wayne arrives at the scene he is a considerable size larger than most of the others. A wolf comes up to him and kneels.
The kneeling wolf speaks, "great chief it is time to deatroy the Green Rock Tribe. The devil bastards are pounding their way in.”
Melissa walking up interrupting them. “Yes great Chief, this is not the time for care free peace, this is the moment of chaos. The moment you must act.”
Wayne looks at Melissa then turns his head to his follower.
Wayne speaking loudly for his tribe to hear, "We shall fall back, let them in then we burn the village down and trap them inside. Use our knowledge of this village and it’s secret passages to escape un harmed. Then we shall watch as our home rids us of the threat, once and for all!”
The wolves howl in support. The Green Rock Tribe is about to break through. The wolves inside brace themselves for a fight.
Just then they break free and hundreds of wolves begin fighting. Wayne and the other start to fall back. Melissa is behind a worn down building away from the battle but close enough to see.
Suddenly Wayne looks behind him and the wolves have some how gotten them surrounded. Wayne sees another huge wolf leading them in from the rear. He charges him and they clash. They claw and swipe at each other.
It is hectic and loud full of howls roars and animalistic screams. Melissa is still in hiding.
She is thinking to herself {dammit, this is mucking up my plans. If this tribe loses no way can they help me.}
Just then a brilliant flash of light thunders down in the middle of the skirmish. Most wolves near get knocked on their backs, Wayne included. As the light dims they unshield their eyes, as does Melissa.
As everyone gets their vision back and their eyes begin to focus.
They see an older looking man holding a staff with feathers at the top blowing in the wind. The wolf that was fighting Wayne speaks.
“Do not interfere Desmond, this is not your business”
Desmond holds his left hand up palm facing the wolf.
He speaks, “Be still, William .”
As he says this the wolf is being pulled down to a kneeling position by roots that sprouted from the ground where he stood. He looks at Wayne.
Wayne to Desmond , “Why do you interfere, Shaman?”
Desmond walking closer to Wayne looking up at his sweat soaked and bloodied  furry face.
He speaks again, “This is wrong, this childish bickering among family. It must stop tonight.”
Wayne, “They attacked us , Desmond. We are only defending our selves.”
Desmond with a hint of anger in his voice,
“You will address me without that face boy.”
Wayne changes back to human form as does the other wolves. They also take off or throw down there armor. Desmond is walking in a circle, that is formed by the crowd surrounding him and Wayne.
Desmond, “I am not alone in thinking this.”
He moves his eyes to just beyond the crowd. The crowd is moved by an unseen force parting the wolves as if to make a path.
A group of men dressed similar to Desmond with staves of their own appear in the circle.
Wayne looks and bows his head, “Father.”
The Shaman he is referring to says, “This Is what you do while I am away Wayne, William?”
Desmond, “Do not be too harsh Gerald, They are not much different than you and your brother.”
 Gerald in response, “We didn’t separate the tribes and waste their energies on selfish gains and childish skirmishes.” As he looks at Desmond.
Desmond replies, “No you did not. You made your father banish you for almost starting a war over a girl.”
Wayne, “Mother?”
Gerald changing the subject, “allow William to stand.”
Desmond waves his hand to release him.
Gerald, “You shall come out as well girl.”
Melissa mumbles,  “Shit.”
Desmond, “I was wondering when you were gonna come out.”
Melissa, “This isn’t my fault. They attacked the village, I had nothing…”
Gerald, “Silence child.”
William, “See Father, Uncle he is in relations with a human. What a disgrace.”
Melissa, “I’m a disgrace? Who got their ass kicked tonight?”
William growls.
Another shaman comes through the crowd holding Melissa’s satchel.
Melissa snapping, “That’s mine!”
Wayne standing in front of her as if to prevent her from approaching the Shaman.
Desmond, “What do you have there Archibald?”
Archibald, “Something you may find interesting, Lord Gerald.”
He hands Gerald the parchment out of the bag. Gerald looks it over.
Gerald smiling, “Indeed, indeed. Ha, ha. This is lovely.”
Melissa just looks at him.
William and Wayne look at each other.
Desmond inquiring, “What is it, or are you gonna keep it to yourself?”
Gerald still looking at the parchment, “did you read this entire scroll, girl?”
Melissa, “Of course I did.”
Gerald, “I understand you read the human language , but are you so well versed in Chokutoh?”
Melissa is silent.
Gerald glances at her then back to the parchment.
Gerald to Wayne, “I suppose you only read part of this as well.”
Wayne, “What are you getting at father?”
Gerald calmly, “This is a birth right, Not an oath as it appears to be at first. You must really learn the first language instead relying on the poor excuse of words that you young ones exchange with each other.”
Melissa, “What are you saying? Can you help me or what?”
Gerald, “On the contrary girl, You are the soul leader of this tribe and several others that branched from this…you are the high Priestess of  the long Tooth Pride.”
William, furious, “What?!”
Desmond, “That is a twist of events.”
Wayne, “She is the leader of all the tribes?”
Gerald, “You should learn your history, boy. Her ancestor somehow became a Priest of the Long Tooth Pride. Meaning that he can call upon them at anytime he, well she, sees fit.”
Melissa, “What is the catch?”
Desmond, “It can not be to start war amongst the pride or undermine our ways and culture.”
Another Shaman that was silent this whole time,
“Also there is no discontent allowed while the high priestess is in reign, or death will be the punishment.”
Gerald walks over to Melissa, he hands over her things, “So Priestess, What can we do for you?”
Melissa smiles.

Joshua and Saint are still in the caverns underneath the city, moving at abnormal speeds through the cavern. Joshua is in front, Saint is a step behind, Joshua suddenly stops and puts his arm up to halt Saint.
Saint, ”What is it?”
Joshua pointing at the walls, “Look around we are no longer in the caverns, we are here, The Cathedral of Artishan.”
Saint curiously, “Artishan? You know of this place?”
Joshua lowering his arm and beginning to walk, “yes,
What I need should be down the hall past the Hall of Night.”
The hall is huge with ceilings at least 30 feet high. It is decorated with many strange markings and designs. The colors are faded but recognizable. The ceiling is painted to look like the night sky, with spirals of comets and shooting stars.
Saint, “This place looks to hold a lot of secrets and knowledge, maybe we could study a bit, learn while we are here?”
Joshua walking slightly in front of him, “Only Certain People can go in the rooms, Your kind isn’t one of them.”
 Saint, “well it’s all the same, we are in a rush any way.
They are walking through this huge hall with many halls branching off from it.
Saint, “this place is magnificent. I wonder how they discovered it’s where bouts?”
Joshua, “While your people were trying to conquer the world and slaughter the humans, Some came together to create a new army, an army armed with true power as well as military muscle.”
Saint ,“I see, the Brothers of the Savior‘s, just beginnings huh?”
Joshua looking around as he is walking, moving cobwebs so big they stretch from wall to wall of the cathedral.
Joshua, “They needed knowledge of their enemy, Only two sources for that kind of info, Angels and Warlocks. The Angels were too busy getting their asses handed to them. So Warlocks stepped up and shared knowledge.”
Saint, “Okay and through that they found out about this.”
They come to a big open space that looks the size of  a grand stadium.
Joshua stops, ”Wait.”
They look at each other. At the same time they say, “We’re not alone.”
Suddenly a huge rumble and quake shakes the room.
A loud roar comes form all around due to the size of the room it echoes. “
Saint, “Well maybe it’s bark is bigger..”
He is interrupted by a giant beast jumping down in front of them.
The creature is on it’s hind legs he resembles a dragon but is head is a giant skull that resembles a demon. His horns extend outward then curve backwards towards his spine. His tail has two points at the tip. He is roaring and swinging his tail around.
Joshua, “You were saying?”

Chapter 5 : Almost There

In a big room with several men and women walking about.
There are no mirrors, but plenty of fabric and outfits thrown around. In the middle of this room on a pedestal is Luscious. He is being measured from all four angles by different individuals. People are running around holding different fabrics up to his body he shakes his head in disapproval.
Luscious impatiently, “Hurry this up, this has to be ready by ceremony time tomorrow! No time for fucking around!”
One of the tailors says humbly, "yes Master Luscious, we are just measuring for the finishing touches.”
A second tailor, “Oh yes,we have to take in account of your physical change during the ascension.”
Luscious, “Yes, yes,fine just get it done.”
Soon after that is said, a male vampire walks in dressed as a knight. His armor is gloss black, chain mail is showing covering his stomach, back and sides. He has a sword on his right hip, a long barrel pistol on his left, and holding his helmet under his left arm.
He speaks to Luscious, “Master, I hate to disturb your fitting.”
Luscious smugly, “then why are you Zykrel?”
Zykrel takes a knee and lowers his head with his empty hand placed on the floor, “Forgive me father. I have, we have reason to believe that our wayward brother is about to do something he can’t fix.”
Luscious,not looking at his son says calmly, “What might little Haven be up to Zykrel?  That you, Saige and Geran are concerned with?”
Zykrel raising his eyes but not his head, “It is too early to be sure father.”
Luscious raises his voice a little startling the tailors, “Then why are you here?”
Just then a large framed man in red and black knight armor with little chain mail showing bursts in the room with a loud tone, “He is up to no good father!”
Behind the upset Vampire is a slender vampire in red armor slowly walking behind him.
Apologetically he speaks to Luscious, “Father I tried to hold Geran back but you know how bull headed he can be.”
Luscious holds a hand up to signal the tailors to stop. He turns his head to Geran.
Geran continues unphased, “I saw the little shit, with that flea bag by the guest house!”

Zykrel stands up and looks directly at his father,  “They left with the twins father.”
Luscious yelling “What?!”
Saige to the tailors in a calm cynical tone,
“I would take a break right now if I were you.”
 They look at Saige and leave the room in a hurry.
Luscious coming down off his pedestal, “You are certain of this?”
Geran, “Yes father it was Haven, Michael and the twins leaving the property.”
Saige, “I bet you it has something to do with that human girl too father.”
Luscious, “Yes, you are most likely right son. The little whore came to me not too long ago. Wanted my permission to hunt a rogue vampire in my area.”
Zykrel, “Permission to hunt a vampire, father? You think that Is why they retrieved Cynthia and Stephanie?”
Saige, “It’s gotta be for something else. One of my spies said they spotted her leaving the city headed towards the Grey Wolves.”
Geran, “That deceitful witch! She must pay for betraying us, after we let her come into our castle and taste our spoils!“
Luscious looking coldly at Geran, “Our castle, our spoils? You are quite bold these days Geran.”
Geran holds his head down.
Luscious continues, “No, no it is okay, in due time this all will be yours.”
He put his hand on Geran’s shoulder, then walks past him circling  the three sons He seems to be thinking.
He speaks, “Gather the Knight Guard, I want every way into this city covered. Gather as many as you can to back them up, without taking away from the ceremony security.”
Geran, “should we contact the Silver Knights as well?”
Luscious looking at him,  “No, I need them for the interior. I want you three and those two comrades of yours to patrol the area, High and low, kill anyone that is somewhere they don’t belong.”
Zykrel, “Does that include your favorite son father?”
Luscious turns his back and turns his head in Zykrel’s direction, “You are my favorite son.”
Zykrel bowing, “Yes father.”

Haven Guard is walking with Michael and the twins they are all in oversized hooded robes. They are walking thru the city streets, unnoticed by the humans in this section.
Michael, “I still don’t get why she wanted us to make sure someone spotted us at the twins place. Thought this was top secret.”
Haven Guard, “Something like that friend, but she also wants to mislead the true target. Make them look one way while we come in from another, simple misdirection.”
Michael, “Yeah ,simple.”
Stephanie embraces Michaels arm, “Now, now love I can make you more at ease if you wish.”
Haven Guard, “We don’t have time for this.”
Cynthia peaks down an alley and sees three humans talking. Looks at her three escorts and while they chat she slips away. Stephanie turns her head slightly to see Cynthia disappear down the alley.
Cynthia walks slowly towards the humans, her arms hang down her sides. Slowly a  long blade sticks out of her sleeve. As she gets closer she licks her lips and her fangs grow longer. She is about to strike, then a hand grabs her arm to stop her from raising it.
Haven guard puts her against the wall out side of the alley.
 In anger he says, “Are you fucking crazy?! We are supposed to be low key, that means no killing humans or anyone.”
Stephanie, “Dear brother it is only three,just a snack for us to share.”
Cynthia looking down, “Unhand me brother or I shall forget we share parents.”
Haven Guard lets her go, “Just relax, okay?”
 As the twins walk ahead, Michael looks at Haven Guard.
Michael, “I think I wanna switch sides.”
Haven Guard walking off, “Not unless you take me with you.”
Soon they are in what seems to be a run down subway overgrown with weeds and grass.
Haven Guard Shouting. “Are you there?! It’s Me and Michael.”
A voice from inside, “who else is with you.? I smell more than just you two.”
Michael, “It’s the ow!”
Haven elbows him to stop him from speaking.
Haven is starting to walk inside,
“They are new friends, we are coming in, Eric. Eric?”
The twins look at each other and smile then walk in behind Haven Guard. Michael is the last to walk in after he scratches his head.
It is just a little darker inside than the eternal dusk covering the earth. Weeds line the walls. The rails are rusted. The bricks are cracked. They are walking deeper into the subway. Suddenly several arrows come flying from ahead. They land in front of their feet.
Haven, “Hey, what  the hell?! It’s us!”
The voice, “It’s you? It’s you?!”
More arrows come flying this time the twins have to move out of the way of several. Michael gets one in his shoulder.
Michael in pain and changing, getting hairier, he roars, “That’s it! Come out here you crazy bastard! I’ll rip your head off!” Suddenly a silhouette flies in tackling Michael, then it jumps to the side into some shadows. He then throws small blades from the shadows at the twins they dodge and block with a short swords.
Haven , “Calm down, What is your problem?”
A slightly tall man with short brown hair, a medium build dragging Michael, who is back in human form, by his left ear. He has a cross bow in the other hand . He is wearing two straps across his chest with small blades in them. He has a long black coat covering his body. He is wearing old dingy brown pants, with old work boots.
Haven, “Let him go, Eric.”
Michael, “Yeah, asshole.”
Eric letting Michael go, “Pussy, still can’t fight.”
Haven Guard, “look you can beat up on your brother later.”
With a closer look grey hair is apparent on his rough unshaven face.
Twins together, “Hello, Eric.”
Eric agitated, “Why did you bring these bitches? You know I hate them. They reek of stale fish and spoiled blood.”
Stephanie, “ We love you too, how do you like our outfits?”
 They are sticking their tongues out.
Eric, “Insensitive Bitches, You know I’m blind!”
He quickly reaches behind his back under his coat and pulls out tow double barrel guns with markings on them gleaming with shiny black and silver metal.
He has both of the weapons centimeters in front of the twins faces.
Another voice from where Eric came,
“are we ready now? Or y’all gonna play some more?”
Michael, “Walter? You still in on this?”
Walter coming out dressed in a black T-Shirt and blue jeans with a sword hanging on his side and no shoes on.
 Looking at Haven, “Yeah I’m ready, to Fuck your daddy up.”
Back at the caverns, Daniels, Stevens and Vaan are squaring off with Khalade.
Khalade unsheathe a sword from his hip and swings at Stevens. Stevens blocks with his sword. Daniels swings in response at Khalade. Khalade kicks Daniels back.
Vaan flips over Daniels to land in front of Khalade, he swings a Katana at his head. Khalade ducks the swing and Vaan just as quickly sweeps with his other sword but Khalade avoids it.

Khalade, “We have been watching you, Brothers. Banding together to one day take this futile world back.”
Daniels clashing swords with Khalade, “Stevens this guy knows the creed.”
Khalade, “you jest in the face of your death.”
He kicks Daniels back and throws Vaan in opposite direction, Stevens did a back flip to avoid his attack.
Khalade, “We will remove your filthy organization from the Human population, to show the rest that this is no longer your world.”
Daniels looking over at Stevens as he comes a knee, “Okay, that’s it. For that you get the my Fourth favorite move.”
Stevens we need three for that. It’s only two Apostles in here.”
Vaan, “I can do whatever you can.”
Daniels, “Your good kid, but your not an Apostle.”
Vaan with a smile on his face, “My Master is Colonel Saint of the Containment Division. Who do you think showed your superiors how to do that move?”
Stevens,
“Okay star pupil, get ready.”
Daniels yelling and moving, “get to positions!”
Khalade looking on,
“I assure you whatever feeble attempt you are making will do you no good. But I don’t mind being amused.”
Daniels, “Oh well watch and be entertained.”
Stevens, “Now!”
All in unison, “Trigram cloak!”
Suddenly they disappear from his vision, he is looking around but can’t see anything but cavern wall and darkness.
The three in unison shout, “Pyramid, one magnetize!”
Khalade shouts, “What the hell is this?! Why can I not see you fucking apes?! There is no darkness that our eyes do not see on this earth!”
Stevens, “wrong answer, You cannot see thru magic!”
Daniels adds, “Don’t bother trying to move, soon as we started you were stuck where you stand.”
Khalade tries to move and can‘t, “Go to hell, all of you!”
Stevens shouts, “Illumino!”
Within moments a familiar light starts forming around Khalade in the shape of a pyramid.
Daniels Shouts, “Metallo!”
Three swords extend in side the pyramid, the blades start shining like the sun.
Khalade starts yelling in pain from the light. “No, no..ahh!”
Vaan shouts out , “Extend!”
Flashes of light crackle, sparks flare  and beams of pure light pierce the vampire trapped within. Soon he is sliced by blades of light he goes up in flames, until there is no more of him. The three stop and look at their handy work.

Near the Village of the Grey Wolves, we find Melissa and Wayne standing in a field. There is tall grass and a couple grown over automobile that creatures use for homes.
Melissa is standing beside Wayne who is in human form with his shirt off and ripped pants.
She looks out onto the field and says to Wayne,
“So why did you bring me here?”
Wayne, “Do you hear the wind? It is refreshing at times to watch the peace. Especially before you enter chaos.”
Melissa stepping on a red scorpion by her foot, “Sometimes chaos is all there is. I didn’t know wolves were philosophical. Thought you just hunt, eat, fight and breed.”
Wayne slightly amused, “Those are things we do best. Sometimes you have to appreciate the silence and admire the beauty that is left in this world.”
Melissa, “I don’t think I’m looking at what your looking at”
Just then Wayne puts her on his shoulders, “Let me show you.”
He changes into  a big muscular wolf with clean brown and blonde hair.
He starts galloping across the field, with Melissa on his back. Going faster and faster, as Melissa is laughing and holding on to his fur.
They come to a stop.
 Melissa leans to his ear and whispers, “go for it.”
He leaps down and lands on the side of the hill. He slides down to the bottom, they come to the river, it is untouched by the evil. The water is still blue and he leans down and drinks some with his snout.
Melissa, “This is pretty amazing how it is still here.”
 His ear flickers as if he heard something. Melissa notices and looks to the other side of the river. There is another were wolf standing  there, staring at them.
Wayne starts to growl. The other wolf howls and retreats into the woods.
Melissa, “What was that about?”
Wayne, “That was your chaos trying to interfere with our peace.”
