[NORTH]

"Whoa! The t-trees! There's a lot of trees!" Aikee shouted as we entered the border line.

The borderline divides the West, Center and North. This borderline divides into three. The Center and North, the borderline is forest. While in the West and in the Center are a huge wall. On the other hand, the south is forbidden. That is full of bodies of water.

"Don't be too loud, Aikee," I whispered to him.

He seemed to find a good playground. After all, this place is a good training ground. Towering trees and gigantic branches. Just now, I feel joy in my brother's eyes. Somehow, the six -hour trip was worth it.

"Brother! Let's just build a house here! This place is beautiful! Why didn't we end up here before?"

"Don't make any noise, Aikee. The sun is going down," I replied and pulled him to walk.

He didn't hesitate to look back. I looked around, I looked to see if we had interrupted some packs. It's hard and we might fight back.

A few more minutes until I could feel Aikee stop from walking.

"Can you change your mask, brother? You might interrupt the pack," he said seriously to me while still watching the trees around us.

I turned to him and placed my hand in front of my mask. "Believe me, Aikee. They'll be scared when they see this mask. Why did you use another mask? Don't you know that you can attract Rouges? You'll look like a beginner," I replied, that line made him stop.

Didn't he think of that thing?

He was about to unload his big bag when we heard howls. That was three times, the reason for me to stop as well.

"I told you," I said to my brother.

"I'm not aware. I don't know that anyone knows us here," he replied.

When he put on his mask, three people immediately came out of the big tree in front of us.

They are wearing the same attire. Same ash with gold lining. One has a big body while the other is small. The latter is tall and slender.

"Why did the two hunters get lost in this place?" asked curiously of one of them. That came from a guy with a big body.

"You're really stupid! They'll probably hunt!" said the smallest of them.

The tall one faced them. "Can the both of shut up? Don't here, ok?"

I get upset because we were wasting our time. The moon was about to set and we would have a hard time because we were carrying big bags.

"Can you leave where we're going?" I asked, make them surprise.

They turned around and now the attention was on me.

"Woa, t-that's cool! The coolness of your voice!" amazing shout from the tallest guy.

"OMG! Can I taste your voice!" shout the smallest of them.

I calmed myself down. Until Aikee stepped over and stood in front of me.

"Can you stop my brother? Just leave while we can control ourselves," he said.

Instead of being scared, the two of them laughed. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

"Another OMG! Such a cry baby!" the smallest of them said while laughing.

"Stupid, maybe he's really joking? I don't think he's good at joking--."

They were stunned when Aikee's shuriken touched their cheeks. They were surprised and you could see that in their widened eyes.

"It's not a good idea to make fun of my brother," I said as I shook my head.

I turned to Aikee and held him on his shoulder to calm him down. It's hard and these three seem to come from a pack. To my recollection, every city here is run by a pack. Maybe we went through a part of a City and it looks like their pack runs it.

"They have a pack, Aikee. You might make a mistake with your throw," I added.

"P-Prodigies ..." said the other guy. "Y-You're the Prodigies."

The eyes of the two widened and immediately bowed. "I-I'm sorry for what we did," they said frowning at me.

"Are you leaving or we will force you to leave?" I asked, making them nervous.

One of them swallowed. "Y-You can't leave at this time. The sun has set too much," he replied.

Aikee was about to answer when we heard some crackles. My brother and I looked at each other until four werewolves appeared in front of us.

"Gosh, Rouges!" shout from the smallest guy in front of us..

I immediately drew my sword. We also immediately dropped the big bag that was behind us.

I have two swords. One for the Rouges and the other for the Alpha of the pack that murdered my parents.

The four immediately attacked. I was recoiled because of its unexpected strength. They were two while I was just one. On the other hand, one is fighting Aikee and the other one is joined by the three.

I had a hard time because one of these Rouges was a beta. I could feel it in his skills and his attack. When he kicked me, I escaped. Seeing the opportunity, I stepped forward and kicked him in the knee. He shouted and got even angrier causing it to attack quickly.

I dodge it but the two continue to attack. When I saw the opportunity, I immediately swung my sword around his necks. He fell down and blood flowed from his neck.

"You're the Prodigy," the other guy said as I attacked.

"Hmm, maybe?" I asked while avoiding his attacks.

I was pushed back again because of this Rouge’s transformation. He’s bigger compared to the wolves I see. It's a sign that my guess is right, it was a beta then.

As I avoiding his attack, I looked to my brother and the three other guy. I want to watch them so I stabbed the rouge sword without even looking at him.

They are familiar.

That's when I noticed that these were the three before.

I turned to Aikee who was now sitting and just watching. It looks like a kid watching television.

I just watched as the three clashed in the rouge. Everywhere you look, the three are at a disadvantage. This rouge used to be in beta and I admit that even if I don't, all three will be defeated.

When I saw the hole in them, I immediately threw my sword at them. They were surprised when the sword pierced the rouge's forehead.

Until we hear a clap from the branch. We turned around together and there I saw the man with gray eyes again.

The three bowed while my brother and I just looked at him.

"Welcome to the land of the wolf. I thought you weren't going. I'm glad that the two of you are here now."

Aikee stood up. "You know? You're just going to give an invitation without an address?" he said, causing to the three to immediately look at him.

"Hey! Learn to respect!" 

They didn’t seem to like my brother’s response to the Beta of their pack. Who would be happier if you were invited but did not have an address on the invitation?

"No, it's ok," beta replied to the three.

He turned to us.

"Welcome to Graywond City. I'm Arnal, the Beta of Graywond pack."
