Chapter 3
Warsaw,Poland
Sophie looked at her brother with shock, wondering what he could possibly be doing with the Werewolf Council. The strong,burly werewolf from earlier was looking at her brother like a leader and a diplomat, like a real Casterwill leader. She may have passed their test of courage, but she knew that she wasn't really their leader and that she had no real power. She was only a child, who had yet to completely master her abilities as a Casterwill.
"Hello, sister" Lucas said to Sophie, with no emotion in his tone
"Hello, brother" Sophie replied in the same deadpan as her brother
"What might you be doing here?" Lucas asked her, his tone turning into one full of seriousness
"My team has been given a mission to locate the missing Alpha's son" Sophie replied "but the real question is what you are doing with the werewolf council, without your team."
"I'm here for a very simple reason" Lucas replied "to gain an ally?"
"An ally?" Sophie asked confused
"An ally" Lucas repeated "You brought us into a war with the Blood Spirals, although their leader may have been defeated but they are still out there hunting us and they're simply not enough of us to fight the army they have."
"Hasn't their army gotten smaller since the longest night?" Sophie asked
"It has, but it is still too large for us to defeat on our own. They're less than 20 active Casterwill seekers." Lucas told her "I've heard that the Blood Spirals are becoming allied with The Order, and if that is true then they may be unstopable"
"What about the Huntik Foundation?" Sophie asked him "they helped us before and they can help us again."
"They couldn't even defeat the Blood Spirals either" Lucas replied angrily "They had to subcomb to asking us for help, when they must have knew how little of us there were left"
"Out of every possible powerful group out there,why did you choose to ally with the werewolf council?" Sophie asked her brother
"The werewolves are natural enemies of the order" Lucas explained "They used to be a pack until both the alpha and the beta went missing over 10 years ago, they had to form a council until they could return to their former glory once they discovered the identity of the alpha's son or discover the identities of one or both of the beta wolf's twin sons."
"So, they are gonna rely on you to find them a leader, so that they can take care of the Order?" Sophie asked
"That is the plan" Lucas replied "I used the alliance with the Huntik Foundation to draw your team here so you could bring us someone they wanted"
"Who?" Sophie asked
"Lok Lambert"

The men turned to face none other than their longtime enemies, Shauna and Wind.
"If it isn't our old friends Wind and Shauna" Dante said in his usual monotone "still members of the notorious Blood Spirals, I see"
"and if it isn't Dante Vale" Shauna replied in a similar monotone "with his puppy and one of our brethren"
"This isn't your turf" Dante said to the Blood Spiral Seekers "So what might you be doing here"
"Trying to pay a visit to an old friend" Shauna replied "but first we have some goodie two-shoes Seekers to deal with"
"I wouldn't pick a fight here" Dante warned Shauna "they're pedestrians everywhere, you can't use any powers or titans on these streets"
"Who ever said we'd need that" said a powerful and mysterious voice
Warsaw,Poland
"Why would they want Lok?" Sophie asked angrily
"The wolves are trying to track the alpha down by narrowing down all the suspects" Lucas replied "and Lok is still high on their list of suspects"
"So they believe that Lok is the Alpha's son?" Zhalia asked "You didn't have to plan this whole scheme just to get Lok to come here, you could have just asked"
"They want to see if Lok is the Alpha" Lucas replied "You see, each creature has it's own signature scent that can be used to identify them as such, or who they've been hanging around. Werewolves can detect this scent and they can use it to know this information, a werewolves scent is usually masked until they start to approach the age of their first transformation."
"So they want to smell him" Den asked rudely "No offense, but that's a little weird"
"It;s perfectly normal for them" Zhalia replied "besides, it can be useful for them, but not for us"
"That's right" Lucas replied "and because of that i now know who you really are?"
"who i...?" Zhalia asked nervously
"really am" Lucas finished

"Who was that?" Lok asked nervously "what was that voice?"
"It's mine" The voice replied "I'm surprised you hadn't figured it out by now"
"figured what out?" Harrison asked
In a sudden flash Wind ripped of the bandages off of his face, revealing a horrible sight. His lips were nonexistent, a singed mark in their he opened his mouth there was no tongue, his jaw was charcoal black like it had also been singed. There were only a few teeth, all rotten as if they had been pulled out of a corpse that had been buried for several hundred years.
"The truth behind the mask" Wind replied "why i wear it"
"You're not human" Lok replied nervously "you're a..."
"I'm a jiangshi" Wind replied "or as you 21st century people call us, a zombie"
"h..how?" Harrison asked
"Rassimov was a very powerful sorcerer" Wind replied "he brought me back to life to help him and Shauna to bring back the Blood Spirals, though sadly he betrayed us. Shauna was a just a weak old banshee before he gave her a body that was more, solid"
"He killed his own sister to provide me with this body" Shauna continued "All it required was a little ghost-like possession"
"That's horrible" Lok replied "i'd never do that to a person"
"why am i not surprised" Dante replied "to bad he couldn't give Wind a real mouth"
"You have no idea how much you'll pay for insulting one of my kind" Wind replied with a strange and unusual smile
