__safia 49 Inside the mountain home things are looking hectic, the werewolves were gathered at the training area, worry paint their faces. Hunter and safia arrived, holding Safia's hand he lead her straight through a narrow way, he opened a secret door within the stone, they descend down the short stairs and arrived at what resemble an unpolished lab, lighten up by the same diamonds from upstairs. Huge glass tubes that contain bubbling liquids, rounded metal pots letting out a hissing sound as it releases steam, and several poisoness plants layed atop a stone table. The labs temperature is hot, and contains a small of group of werewolves, sera included. *What happened down here?...* Hunter asks. They can see a few destroyed tubes and part of the stone wall looks to have been burnt, a werewolf In his human form lay unmoving. Sera answers *its the ultimate poison, we were trying to turn it solid, it worked...or at least we thought it worked, it has taken a solid shape but then suddenly not a moment later it exploded into smoke and dust, we all got out of the way in time except corner, he didn't made it in time and the smoke engulfs him, alpha I'm so sorry....* They stayed silent. Till hunter spoke *it's not your fault sera, we have lost too many lives over this poison, it's too dangerous for our people let's just, let's drop it* *but alpha if we drop it, what's our chance of winning the war? It's the only thing that can kill those bloodsuckers without it, we'd be hopeless...* *what if we use the Poison as smoke and liquid in the battle field...* Safia suggest. Sera spat *first of all, you are not one of us so don't use the term we, and its impossible to use the poison as smoke or liquid in the battle field, its too dangerous and it might end up killing us all* *safia IS one of us, she's your future Luna so show respect, if she made that suggestion, it means she has an idea, and we will all listen to her, understood* hunter made it clear. *yes alpha, I apologize for my ignorance, forgive me... princess* sera bowed in apology. *no it's alright, please no need for apologies..* *you're lucky she's a nice person,...okay safi, tell us your amazing idea* Safia explained *well I was thinking, if the Poison can't be turn solid then turn it to smoke instead, we could use that leather material I carried the Poison in the other day, shape it into a ball like blob and put the dried poison in, then using a robe connect it with the blob from the inside, we can set the robe on fire and throw the blob, the fire will travel inside and explode the poison.
I don't really know if this will work but it is just an idea after all, you really don't have to try it, I don't want anything to go wrong because of me* *safi this is excellent, sera do you think we have the materials for this?...* *yes I think so, hey Robert....gather everyone we got a new assignment!, I'll go check the storage* sera left to check for the materials safia mentioned. And soon she returned with a basket filled with materials, and the few werewolves assigned to the lab gathered around per the Alpha's order, corner's body has been taken away to his family upstairs. Safia took in a nervous breath, still holding her hand hunter confidently nods at her, feeling a bit better safia face the werewolves and begin explaining her idea in a much detailed way.
__king Travis In the huge palace training grounds, blackmoon soldiers once again train with all their mights, pushing themselves and reaching new heights. While the human responsible for it all, he sat at an ordinary wooden chair, lost in thoughts as he gaze at a small pocket size painting of his dear daughter, princess safia. King Travis thought to the last moments he spend with his daughter, before she turns to the enemy... "I know it was wrong to neglect you like that, but I only wanted you to become stronge, to stand on your own two feet......and you did, but then I pushed you down, afraid you've become too strong. I was strict with you my daughter, it's my fault those werewolves were able to influence you, all you wanted was just to help out with kingdom affairs but I...I hit you, I promise I will be a better father to you, I'll crown you my successor and allow you to marry whoever as long as it's not a werewolf.....I feel so ashamed of myself, I was so petty and rude....I'm sorry, I will do better I promise, I'll do better...." With a dejected sigh, king Travis put the painting back into his pocket, he whispers as he stood up *but first, I'll get you back from their clutches...* He then proceed to stand before the training soldiers, he shout out *soldiers!!...* He got their attention *you must all be ready! In three days time the war begins!* He observe them. Instead of cheering, or any enthusiastic response he expected, the soldiers look disprited, some are even gulping in fear, *or did you not hear me!!* He shouted out and only then did the soldiers cheer and clap, which didn't reach their eyes. A slightly annoyed king Travis turn and started to walk out as he ordered in a quiet tune to Anthony *prepare my weapons, tomorrow we send out the weak ones* *yes your majesty..* Anthony spoke as he rush after the king, he followed him all the way to his office. King Travis sat down on the couch *what is it Anthony?..* Anthony stepped in and bowed again, he spoke while showing the king his boots *this boots your majesty are no ordinary shoes, they are an advantage, a dangerous...* *Just get to the point...* King Travis cuts.
so Anthony did just that *inside this boots there's a very sharp blade that could slice anything and anyone in half, this " he made a gesture with he's booted foot and two medium size blades pop out with a click from the front of the boots were the toes are, he gesture " the left blade your majesty, as you can see is a little red in color, that's because its forged with a huge amount of ivy, while the right one is pure silver, just in case you don't want to kill your enemy in an instant, so the right one is just but a normal blade * done with he's little presentation Anthony stood smiling proud before the king, but instead of getting praised like he expected, he got a scolding *what is this nonsense, you think just a little boot blade is enough to help us win this war, before your stupid boots even reach near a werewolf they would've already snap your neck in half. how can you be so foolish, you can't fight fist to fist or without a weapon against a werewolf, they're too fast and too strong for us humans, just....get out of my sight before I lose my patience* Anthony swallowed hard trying to control he's raging anger, he thought " patience Anthony, you'll make him pay in the future, patience " he manage to bow and spoke. *please....do forgive my ignorance your majesty, I've never fought a werewolf face to face before, but...if I may present another new weapon, it is not a boot this time* king Travis sigh, messaging he's forehead with his two fingers nods for Anthony to continue. Anthony showed the king he's fore arm, he wore a matel looking gauntlet that has a strange closed up line on top, he explain *this here your majesty, is an arrow shooter, its attached to a clawed gountlet, but in this case, I can bring out and hide the claws whenever I want " he demonstrate by jerking he's fingers a little and the long claws spike out, he jerks he's fingers again and the claws went back in, desappaering into the metal " king Travis looked with keen interest, while Anthony continue " and right here at the back of the gauntlet, is an arrow shooter, it takes a total amount of 5 arrows inside it, so one can shoot without the need to use a bow, it goes like this " he made his hand into a fists and jerk he's arm a little, then a medium, rather small arrow shoot out and in Less than a second it hits the wall and went almost halfway through. King Travis smiled, pleased. *perhaps add some ivy to the arrows* *per your wish, your majesty...* Anthony bowed with a satisfied smile. __safia Deep in the forest, next to the mountain home, it looks like all the existing werewolves have gathered and are paying keen attention on a big stone at the distance. Three people stood closer to the stone, one of them then readied himself, he pull his arm and whoop! Threw a leafy looking ball at the stone, immediately the ball hits the stone it exploded into different vibrant colors, crumbling down to nothing. The werewolves cheered loudly. Hunter and safia jump in victory while uncle Malik laughs fondly. *alright now, let's try the other one..* safia spoke. She stepped forward and aim at another stone, she held a green gun in hand and without wasting time, she pulled the trigger. A loud bang! Went out as a single thick line of color shot out and hit the stone, the stone immediately melted as if dipped into a volcanic acid. Safia high five hunter as the werewolves cheered again even louder, the celebration went on for a few more minutes before they start to head back into the mountain home. Sera approach safia *princess that was.... amazing, I thought it wouldn't work* Coming from behind safia, hunter spoke *why wouldn't it work when it was my safi's idea, she's so smart* he praised. Sera tried to turn and leave but stopped, she had to ask *but..how did you come up with the idea? The gun one* *honestly, it was prince Liam's strange weapon that gave me this idea, his gun shoot out small metal things instead of liquid poison* *Very annoying and painful metal things, they move so fast, faster than this one we made..* hunter added.
Sera praised safia some more then carefully ask as she nervously eyes hunter *um... princess can I talk to you...in private?* Hunter shook his head immediately but safia quickly spoke *yes of course, don't worry Hun I'll be fine* then she followed sera to the side as hunter kept his eyes on them, as if telling sera "I'm watching you" hunter knows sera won't hurt safia physically but she could do so emotionally. A little further so the werewolves won't hear their talk, sera started *princess...I want to ask you a personal question?* *alright, go ahead...* *are you sure you truly love hunter? You'll never cheat on him?* *To me that is not a personal question hunter sera, I love hunter dearly and would never even think of cheating on him, ever.* Sera eyed safia suspiciously, so safia explained. *hunter sera, I understand your hesitation about me, my father's reputation defined mine, but I assure you I'm not entirely like him, I'll keep my words and I won't betray you, I know I left home and came here that also counts as betrayal but, it's for the right reasons and even still, I feel so guilty everyday. And jack, is not interested in me like you're thinking he is, yes he has a playful and charming personality, he flirts with the pretty girls but I think it's just that, he won't go beyond. Sera if jack was going to cheat on you he would've done so a long time ago, it's my personal belief that no man can be seduced without his permission, and besides, with hunter in my life you think I can really look at another and find them even remotely interesting....I'm sorry if what I speak hurts you in any way, I mean no harm....* Sera kept quiet for several minutes, then so suddenly hugged safia *thank you princess, I'm sorry for being rude to you* Braking the hug, safia spoke *no, thank you for accepting me* Hunter approach the two ladies, he stares at sera suspiciously while she completely ignored him and instead spoke *so the new poison, what do you call it?* After a though safia reply *poison boom, but for the liquid one I'm not sure which..* Sera offered *how about.... blazer gun?* *that's perfect sera, can I call you sera...* *of course not, call me sister..* She smiles and walk away, leaving safia and hunter. *I'm glad things are working out Hun, now I don't feel useless anymore...* Safia spoke to hunter. *you were never useless, from the very beginning you've been extremely useful, it's all about you my safi, you're the star ..* *oh you sweet talker, come on....let's get some sleep before morning...* Holding hands the two couple walk into the mountain home together.
__king Travis 3 days later. So early in the morning blackmoon soldiers lined up before their king, they saluted in unison as he spoke out loud. *My loyal soldiers, you did a great job with your training, I shall reward you all. So prepare! Tomorrow is the day we make the werewolves realize they've messed with the wrong kingdom! We'll attack them right to their door steps. Victory is ours!!* Without caring for their cheer, fear or response, king Travis turn and left towards the palace in long and hurried steps. Anthony hurried after him *are we really sending out the weapons your majesty?!* Without stopping or slowing down the king reply *of course, send the weak ones and a few soldiers* Anthony voiced out his worries *but your majesty, sending bloodsuckers and humans together sounds suicidal, wouldn't the bloodsuckers kill the humans before they even reach the werewolves, and letting the bloodsuckers out means the people finding out about them....* *you idiot...of course the bloodsuckers will go First, I'm not sending them together with humans, and it's about time the people know how powerful their king is*
Hearing that, Anthony stopped rushing after the king and watch him disappear into the palace, he turn towards the soldiers who seem to be lost in their thoughts, he smiles and walk away.
__safia Inside the comforts of hunters room, a beauty sleeps peacefully on the now familiar bed, but so suddenly her slumber was disturbed when a very loud teenager burst into the room. Safia awoke startled while hunter cursed *what the hell is wrong with you!!* *oh sorry princess, I forget you're not used to this, but don't worry you'll get used to it soon..* Cas proudly spoke. *you...do this often?..* safia ask. *yes* came the proud reply from Cas. *unfortunately* the dejected hunter added. *anyway ...good morning lovebirds!* Cas excitedly spoke. Safia chuckles as hunter warns *language Cas...* Cas frowns *you guys are so boring sometimes...I promise me and vivi will never be this boring..* Hunter ignored Cas and climb down the bed *I'll get us breakfast, disappear before I came back...* He directed the last part at cas who literally roll his eyes at the empty threat. Immediately hunter stepped out Cas spoke *oh thank goodness he's finally gone, now I can talk about what I came to talk about* *talk about what?..* safia ask as she sat up on the bed. *the new camera!! You see this "Cas brought out a small camera from his pocket and display it to safia" may look like any normal camera, but it's not!* *what's...a camera?* Confused safia ask. Cas hit his forehead softly with the palm of his hands *oh I forget, I haven't sent it out to the world yet, which means you my nice princess Safia, is the very first human to ever witness my great invention. You see this little circle like here....* Safia nods *it's cute...* Cas continue *you'll aimed it at something or a person, then click here, and it'll take a photo then let out the photo from down here..* *a photo?..* *it's like a painting, but it's clicked* Safia hold her head with one hand *I'm so confused right now...* Laughing Cas spoke *don't worry I'll show you later...* Safia *okay, but what does this one do?* *this pretty little thing here, it's like a camera but instead of taking a normal photo, it blind it's victim for a few minutes, here I'll show you...* They climb down the bed, and Cas aimed the camera towards the door as he explains *This only works on animals and people, but since there's no test subject here I'll just click it for you to see how it'll work, I think it will be useful in the war* Then click!, Cas Clicked the camera and a bright light shone out, that also happen to be the exact moment Ray came inside the room, not used to knocking on the Alpha's door he simply walked in *hey hunter have you....ahhh my eyes!!..*
Immediately ray step in a bright light hits his eyes and he went blind, for just a few minutes of course, but he didn't know that. *what the hell is this!! Who dares attack me!!* *it's not an attack uncle Ray, it's my new camera...* Cas explain as he and safia hurried towards Ray. *you and your weird things! I swear I'll...* Ray starts to scold but was interrupted The door burst open again as someone loudly shouts *alpha we're under attack! The bloodsuckers are here!!...*
