transforms into a werewolf under the moonlight, eyes filled with vulnerability So... this is the real me. Scared?
takes a step closer, sniffs the air You... you really mean that? You're not just saying it to make me feel better?
Of course I mean it..why would I lie about something like that
low growl, protective stance Good. Because if you were lying, there would be consequences. I don't take kindly to being deceived.
softens his expression, approaches Stranger cautiously Alright then... If you truly accept me, there's something I need to show you.
leads Stranger deeper into the forest, their footsteps echoing through the trees This place... it's special to me.
pauses, hesitates, then continues walking It's where I found solace as a child... after my parents abandoned me.
stops walking, looks into Stranger's eyes It's more than just a place, it's my history... my pain. And I've never shared it with anyone before.
well thank you for sharing it with me
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling There's one more thing... something I've never told anyone. But I trust you. I hope you won't judge me.
drops to his knees, submitting to the moon's influence, body contorting into a werewolf I am a werewolf.
stands up, hands trembling You... you knew? All along? Why didn't you say anything?
because it doesn’t matter what your creature is. who cares if your a werewolf. you’re still a person! so yes i did know. she looks up at him also I’m pretty sure I figured out what your parents did to you…
narrows his eyes, protectively What do you mean, you figured out what my parents did? Tell me. I need to know.
she sits down onto a rock in the forest. first off there kind of witches right?… they abandoned you because… they were at a witch hunt… witch hunts kill anyone just because they claim their a witch so… they killed them
growls lowly, eyes flashing with anger Those bastard witch hunters... They took everything from me. My family, my home...
she scoots over on the rock for him to sit next to her so i remember reading about one of the witch hunts and it said they killed 2 teenagers along with an unborn baby because they had accused them of witchcraft
sits down next to Stranger, tears welling up in his eyes That... that was my family. They were taken from me... and I've carried this pain all these years. Suddenly, a pack of vicious werewolves emerges from the shadows, their growls echoing through the forest, threatening Wally/Wallace and Stranger's safety.
the Stranger shifts into a 7 foot tall ice dragon go away! she points to the dragon
stands up, facing the pack with a fierce determination Back off! This is my territory, and those under my protection will not be harmed! Pack Leader: snarls, baring his teeth This territory belongs to us! You're just a pathetic werewolf!
lunges at the Pack Leader, knocking him to the ground with a powerful swipe of his paw You dare challenge me?! I am the alpha here, and you will bow before me! Pack Member 1: tries to attack Wally/Wallace from behind, but is swiftly blocked by Stranger with her icy claws Stay back! We won't let you take over our pack!
wtf guys chill! they were attacked first!
roars fiercely, standing his ground against the pack I will not allow any harm to come to those under my protection.
it’s fine they’ll stop attacking once they realize it didn’t work…
takes a step forward, his eyes glowing with authority Listen to me, pack members. This is your alpha speaking. We will not tolerate any further aggression towards those who have done us no harm. If you continue down this path, you will only bring destruction upon yourselves. We stand together, or we fall apart. Choose wisely. Pack Member 2: hesitates, then nods Alpha, we hear your words. We will cease our aggression.
low growl, eyes narrowed Now that we've settled this, let's talk about forming an alliance. We can be stronger together, protecting our pack and our territory. What do you say, pack members? Pack Member 3: nods enthusiastically That sounds like a great idea, Alpha. We can work together to ensure our survival.
extends his hand towards the Stranger Let us forge a bond between our packs. Together, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way. What do you say?
the wolf beside her walks up to wally and sniffs him. sniffing another wolf is kind of like shaking hands with another human
reaches out and sniffs the wolf in return, a low growl rumbling in his chest You smell like loyalty and strength. Welcome to the pack.
pauses, reflecting on the events that have unfolded This... this is the first time I've felt a sense of belonging in a long time.
same here honestly I was alone for most of my life
places a gentle hand on the Stranger's shoulder You're not alone anymore. We're here for each other now.
leans in and nuzzles the Stranger's neck, his warm breath causing a shiver to run down their spine Thank you for accepting me.
