Fwip. Fwip.

Skylar, a skinny athletic male runner, practices his jogging technique in his hometown park, Wintergreen Park.

Fwip. Fwip.

A black cat gives a long fearful hiss to Skylar and arches its back, slowly stepping sideways away from him.

Fwip. Fwip.

A lady with a pet Shepherd come strutting along the sidewalk that Skylar jogs upon. Suddenly the dog growls and steps in front of its owner as if to protect her from danger. Its eyes lock on Skyler's. Skyler freezes five feet before the Shepherd. "What has gotten into you, Theo?" the lady asks her dog.

Fwip. Thud! Fwip. Plop.

A little scanner and a card hit the concrete surface of the sidewalk In front of the dog and skylar. Both Skylar and the woman look directly at the cards. The dog whimpers, but keeps its defensive position. Skylar picks up the card and the tiny scanner.

The scanner is a small black sphere with a white skull on it that gives of a dim neon glow. The card has a black circle with a skull on one side and on the other is a werewolf and its stats; level 1, health 10, strength 12, agility 20, attack 20, and a defense of 10. Also has an ability called tracking.

"Ok, let's go before something stranger happens, Sheri!" The lady panics and turns around to walk away with her dog. Sheri bends her hind legs and moves her front paws forward slanted down and stretched out and dips her head underneath her fore knees and shuts her eyes tightly. The leash jolts. The lady tugs, but Sheri planted her feet and wouldn't budge. Soon, more dogs come to join and bow the same way as Sheri has. One by one.

Fifty dogs surround Skylar, bowing. The lady's knees buckle. Sheri lifted a paw and slammed it down on her owner's rump and they both are now positioned in bowing positions. Skylar gawks. The scanner glows bright black and white. The neon lights glimmer on the card. Every dog's eyes shoot open.

A shadow pulls out from behind Skylar, darkness rises from his shadow. The black gas shapes itself into a human form with black fur and a wolf's face. Black beady eyes and blood drips from the beast's teeth. The werewolf grips Skylar's left shoulder with his right hand. The werewolf and Skylar turn into the black gas and disappear in thin air.
