congratulations.. you have unlocked:
HANJI'S PAST (BONUS CHAPTER WOOT)
I would have used proper wolf terms, however.. it doesn't seem very right, so I'll try to add them as best as I could.. I guess?
Alpha: Dominant role
Beta: Semi-Dominant
Omega: Weakest
I guess you could say Hanji and ETC are werewolves, but.. yep.
Callin' them wolves, cuz werewolf sounds lame as fuck.
Bonus Chapter:
The Red Mill
"Oh the Red Mill that endlessly turns, you make lovely flowers bloom.
Oh the Red Mill that endlessly dances, you make lovely flowers scatter."
-Sound Horizon, Hiiro no Fusha (Moulin Rouge)
"Catch it!" A gleeful child grinned a toothless grin, his eyes wide and vibrant with amber, as he fell backwards to catch the bone which was being thrown at him by his mother, who grinned back, although her grin was much more wolfish than his. She was older, after, she had developed most of her canine teeth already.
Upon having caught the bone with his mouth, the child gnawed on it before letting it drop to the floor with a snort, followed by the sweetest giggle the russet haired girl has ever heard in her life. "Momma Hanji, playing 'bone' with you is fun!" The blonde haired child laughed as he picked up the bone and ran towards the said girl, his large eyes watching her own large eyes. His mother was nine years old at the time, while he was just three years younger!
"Isn't it, Sonny?" Hanji giggled back, smiling warmly at one of her sons. Today, her sons were in humanoid form. Usually, on other days, they would be in their regular, wolf form. Hanji held back an excited squeal. One day, she would teach the two how to properly master the arts of transforming into a humanoid body, and back into a wolf, but as of now, since they were not as quick at learning as she was, they would remain unable to control their transformations.
Hanji had two sons: Sonny, and Bean, and of course, they were not legitimately her children. She was a bit too young of a wolf to reproduce pups. Hanji Fang had found Sonny and Bean as pups in deserted dens, their original mothers having abandoned them completely. Sonny was a newborn pup, unable to see, hear, but with a strong sense of smell. Bean was found growling at her, protecting his "brother" at the age of two.
The moment Hanji tried to approach the two, Bean immediately launched himself at her, uncaring if she held a higher position than him. Bean had bitten her, and all Hanji did was smile and laugh it off while crying from the pain, and immediately, Bean had thought of her as some kind of idiot, therefore, rendering her harmless, although he had kept his defenses up.
At first, Hanji got to know them, and everyday, she would visit the two, and after a week had passed with no sign of their mothers coming back, she had decided to take them in, and eventually, Bean's defenses had broken down until he was completely comfortable with her.
Hanji was not sure how to deal with them at first, but out of curiosity, she wanted to mother them- like her mother had done to her, so they would grow to be fine wolves. Sonny was an Omega wolf, the weakest child, often losing fights to other wolves, but he found it fun to experience different kinds of losing. Bean was a Beta wolf, he owned more dominance than Sonny, and dominated over other wolves, other than Alphas, like Hanji. However, even with them recognizing her and calling her 'mother', for she had always been there for them, she had always seen them as siblings.
Hanji grew up with these two, and understood how they felt about being betrayed by their own blood relative. Hanji's father, the King of the Fang Clan, the largest and by far, most dangerous wolf clan alive in the underworld, had nearly killed Hanji when she was younger, for she was not born a male. Males have always been believed to be better leaders than females, however, Hanji had always had a strong head to change this resolution of her father's. To her father, Hanji was the least loved. He had given more respect to other regular wolves and beggars than to his own daughter, and of course, Hanji's mother, would ridicule him for being so to Hanji. Hanji's father loved his wife very, very much, for she was the kindest, and sweetest woman within the whole clan.
However, these past few days, the King's wife had been sick.
Very, very sick.
The castle which they had resided in was no longer as cheerful after she had fallen ill, and with the lack of her happiness, even the Fang town was sent into a slight depression, but Hanji and her children never really noticed, for they owned their own house. A small, quaint house coupled next to a few more houses and a few, beautiful, red wind mills.
"Mother," the other child with brown hair began as he took careful, yet quick steps towards his brother and mother, he frowned, "father is calling for us, and he seems very displeased."
"This is a first, is it not?" Hanji giggled and took Sonny's hand, her other hand outstretching towards Bean.
The brunette's amber eyes trailed downwards, his eyes speculating her hand for a moment while a small blush rose to his face, and Hanji beamed at him. Bean has always had some kind of unhealthy crush on her, and honestly, Hanji liked him back, because he was quite a cute boy for his age, and was also very intelligent.
Bean slowly accepted her hand and held it tightly, not wanting to let it go in fear of losing her like he had with his mother, and Sonny's own, and in return to his squeeze, Hanji squeezed back in a reassuring way, and with large smiles the trio began to skip into the castle, unaware of the dread and horror which began to spread around them.
The moment Hanji and the children entered the room which Hanji's father and mother resided in, the atmosphere around them declined immediately, jumping from one of pure innocence and happiness, to one of confusion and dread.
Hanji's father sat next to his wife's bed, watching her empty expression while she slept an eternal sleep. For a moment, he did not notice the children, and the moment he did, his facial expression morphed into an angered one.
"This is your fault," Hanji's father accused his child with a feral growl, "if you were a male, maybe your mother would have less stress taking care of you, and those stupid peasants! Can't you see that after you brought those peasants in that your mother became more wary? Now, thanks to you, she has finally died!" He laughed coldly, his burning, harsh amber eyes glaring into his daughter's own.
"Why is it my fault!?" Hanji cried, "Momma can't be dead, she must be sleeping!" She bit her lip before rushing over to her mother's bed, eying her mother before bringing her small, frail hands to her mother's shoulders, "Right mom?" Hanji shook her mother furiously, expecting an answer, expecting for this to be one of her mother's jokes, "This isn't funny, momma-!"
"Enough!" The king roared, viciously gripping Hanji's long hair and throwing her back and away from the beautiful, russet haired woman, who had grown pale. The large, boisterous man clenched his fists and looked ready to beat his child, however, for some odd reason, he had decided not to. "Get out! Leave this castle immediately with those disgusting rascals you call your children, you filthy child of mine!" He screamed, rage filling his tone as he pointed towards the door, his voice expanding and echoing down the hall.
Hanji was not prepared to leave, she had yet to kiss her mother- but she was stopped ultimately by a frightened Bean pulling her out of the room along with Sonny, who had began sobbing in fear of being punished.
Hanji, Sonny and Bean returned to their home after being verbally berated, and even after entering their home, Sonny continued to sob and cry.
"It's okay, Sonny," Hanji began, comforting the child who remained absolutely clueless of what was happening, "it isn't your fault- nothings your fault," she cooed, pulling the boy up into a tight, motherly embrace, another gesture which she had learned from her late mother. Although Hanji was trying to comfort Sonny, it also seemed like she was trying to comfort herself. Her eyes were wide, her blood running cold, her lips quivering as she thought about her mother.
Someone, who was once at arms reach, was now far away. So far away that not even running miles to where was would reach her.
"Unbelievable," Hanji concluded, shaking her head. There was no way her mother was dead. Her mother was probably alive, just playing a bad joke on her. Hanji had to give her mother props, she had done well on executing it.. not moving when she had shook her, not breathing, not cracking a smile or flinching at the slightest when Hanji was present. Even she had gotten her husband to act for once! What a genius!
As Hanji's thoughts of denial ran on, Sonny continued to cry, while Bean appropriately began to pat the dirt off his shoes, his eyes wide with fear, hands slightly shaking- but he would never show that in front of his mother and brother, right? Bean continued to pat the dirt off, knowing well at the of eight what exactly the King said to Hanji. In fact, he probably knew more about what he said than Hanji did.
Hanji's mother was dead, and now the King was upset.
And for some reason, Hanji could not believe it.
"How are you holding up, mother?" Bean queried carefully, his tone soft, but shaky.
Hanji had not noticed the shakiness in his tone as she continued to pat Sonny's back, bouncing him up and down like a baby while swaying back forth, trying to make him calm down, "About what?" Hanji replied with slight confusion. Was he talking about the joke her mother played on them?
"..Her death," Bean answered silently, his amber eyes staring into her own, her eyes bearing a rather frighteningly angered look upon the mention of her death, and immediately, Bean averted his eyes, feeling the same impact of fear he had felt from the King's words.
"Her? Dying?" Hanji let out a small, lighthearted laugh, and for some reason, this had managed to calm Sonny down slightly, "I doubt it! It was a good joke, I must say!"
"No.. I," Bean trailed off, feeling Hanji's steel gaze burning onto the side of his face, waiting, expecting... "Never mind," Bean waved his words away, leaving them dead on his lips as he stood up and walked to his bed room with a steadily eerie feeling pressing on his back.
It was their bed time, the moon which always stayed up giving a different effect on them as everyone in the town slept quietly and soundly.
Hanji was not asleep. She merely lay in her bed, laying on her side, an arm wrapped around a pillow for comfort and for ease of relaxation. Hanji's eyes were wide open, signaling she was awake, but her mind was fleeting, slowly moving away from her body. It was detaching itself from her, her mind constantly circulating around the sick 'joke' which her mother had played, and the anger of her father. The blames put on her.. and maybe if she was a male, none of this would have happened.
She would have lived happily.
The sounds of the windmills spinning was silent, almost invisible, yet it was still there.
And behind that noise, that distant whirring, there was a faint scream.
Followed by another- Hanji blinked, her mind slowly approaching her-
and another.
And another- another blink-
and another, and another and- Hanji smelled smoke, a fire- and another- her eyes widened as she flipped herself over, her gaze setting to the open window, where she had seen, for some reason, a small part of the town illuminated in beautiful, warm colors- and another scream, which this time, seemed closer to her home.
Hanji shot up from her bed before her own mind had been able to register it, and the moment she passed by the window near the staircase which led downstairs, her mind clicked into a moment of realization.
Fire.
Someone was attacking her town. An ambush?
Hanji quickly bustled towards Bean's room, and Sonny's room, both which she had believed to be sound asleep. She was immediately proven wrong when she found that Bean was not in his room, and for a moment, she panicked and called out his name - "Bean?" She wailed as she hopped over to Sonny's room, a wild look in her eyes as she searched the room, her eyes landing on two figures.
Bean was holding onto Sonny, who looked as though he was tearing up.
"There's wolves running outside," Sonny whimpered with a small pout, a fist clutching onto Bean's navy blue shirt, not wanting to let go. "Is there something happening, momma?" The six year old queried, watching their mother shoot around, immediately looking for clothes and small knapsacks which she could carry.
"We're leaving," Hanji decided as she quickly raced around the room, gathering necessary things, "quick, Bean, get your clothes and anything else which you think that you need," she hurriedly ushered him, "hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Bean immediately shot up, not wanting to be told twice. He held onto Sonny while he whined: "Why are we leaving momma?"
Hanji ignored his wails and packed everything up, shoving everything into a small knapsack while her sensitive ears picked up on the sounds of screaming and crying outside. Swiftly, she left the room and ran into Bean's room, helping him with his items before pulling the couple downstairs.
"Momma-!" Sonny began, only to be cut off by Bean hushing him.
"Quiet, Sonny, mother needs peace," Bean hushed him while impatiently watching his Alpha mother take their shoes and put them on the ground.
"Slide into these, and let's go!" Hanji ordered, having felt the need to use her Alpha tone- and then, her orders would be absolute. She peered outside through the nearest window and after hearing them run behind her, she slammed her front door open, and the moment she did, her eyes grew wide.
Her town-
Her town was set ablaze. Fire conquered the city along with desperate screams and pleas, the smell of burning corpses accumulating in the air, merging with the smoke, causing the trio to choke slightly.
And Hanji watched it burn.
"Mother, we have to leave, now!" Bean was quick to make his mother snap out of her stupor. He latched onto Hanji's hands and began to run to the area which the fire had not spread to yet, Hanji's body remotely moving along as she continued to gawk at the scenery in shock for a few more moments.
Everything was being turned upside down.
Why?
All they could do now was run, and run they did. They ran up the hill, beyond the red mills and gardens which would soon be set ablaze along with the several houses which accompanied them close by, and by the time they were up the hill, they realized that people had been following them: other wolves, wolves which were not from the Fang tribe, but were a part of the Gris tribe. Then, something in Hanji's mind clicked. They were chasing after them because they wanted to annihilate the Fang clan- but why? The Gris tribe and the Fang clan had been bound together by a pact by both clan's leaders- unless.. they were starting a Rebellion?
Hanji skidded to stop. She would not allow this under the Fang title, she would not allow such disobedience upon forming a sworn allegiance.
Bean and Sonny turned towards her, confused as they, too, skidded to a stop.
Instantly, the members of the Gris clan had caught up. They were much older, and had much more power than Hanji, and even knowing this, she refused to back down.
"Why are you here!?" Hanji let out a feral growl as she leaped forward, her head morphing into a wolf's own before her whole body had, standing in a fighting position with her tail poised upwards, her sharp eyes ready for any movement which would indicate their attack.
"Do not fret, child of Arthur," one of the wolves stepped forward, their amber eyes battling with her sharp ones, "we are here with King Arthur Fang himself." With this, the dark grey furred wolves shifted, making way for the wolf with brown and silver fur, the wolf which was approaching her bearing a conceitedly strong, high and mighty posture- and of course, this wolf was none other than the King of Fangs, Hanji's father.
"Father," Hanji sounded relieved for a moment, "why are they here?" She immediately questioned, demanding an explanation. The Gris clan usually only came here for trades and -because of their excellent reputation for fighting- teaching purposes.
Arthur ignored her question as he stood firmly on his grounds, "My daughter, Hanji," he cooed, his words coated with venomous honey, "step away from those dirty scum!"
Hanji's body froze, and her body was just about to do as he asked, however, her mind did not give in. "For what purposes?" She shot back, her tone deadly, serious and sharp, like a newly sharpened dagger.
"Don't you see that they have caused your mother stress? Just like the rest of the village," he shook his head, "they all caused her stress, you see!" He guffawed, "Why would you still want to put up with them, knowing that they were one of the main causes your mother fell ill and died?"
Hanji gasped. The fire.
Her father had done it..?
"How could you kill the townspeople for this reason? You're mad, father! The townspeople were mother's friends, they've done nothing to cause mother's illness-Now!" Hanji fought back, and immediately, Arthur reacted.
"-And they have done from little to nothing to better it!" The King shot back with a vicious snarl, "Now move away, you insolent child, before I take your life along with theirs!"
"Take their lives-!?" The mere thought of such made Hanji's mind go hazy with rage, and in response to this, she carefully lowered herself, preparing herself to launch at anyone who would dare to step forward.
This made the crowd laugh.
"She really is your daughter, King!" A Gris member with a scar on his cheek snickered.
"Very funny, Hanji," Arthur deadpanned, "now move!"
And move she did not. She remained in the same spot she was, poised, prepared, and looking absolutely dangerous.
Arthur seethed, "Very well, you stupid child," and with a wave of the King's head, the six members of the Gris tribe shot forwards, baring their fangs at the trio, and the moment Sonny screamed, Bean reacted. Bean pulled out a sharp knife from his gaping knapsack and quickly, yet fearfully, injured a wolf which seemed surprised by the child's sudden movement, and suddenly, the Gris retreated backwards, all their eyes trained on the metal knife which the child held.
And one by one, they launched themselves at Bean and Sonny.
The moment Hanji tried to move to cover for Bean, her father came from behind her and bit her hind leg, and with a horrified yelp, she fell to the floor, feeling his sharp canines bite into her leg as he dragged her down. She cried as she watched Bean successfully dodge one of their attacks, however, that dodged attack landed on Sonny instead. Bean, seeing the attack on Sonny, tried to move towards him, however, his movements were futile. The moment he had tried to inch towards Sonny, a wolf had sunk its teeth onto his leg, causing him to scream, and with this, bit by bit, they tore pieces of Bean and Sonny off like the rabid, hungry animals that they were.
The knife Bean held landed in one of the wolves' open mouth, and with this, the torture began. The wolf holding the knife between its teeth ran towards Bean and cut into his stomach, causing the child to scream, and Hanji wailed and screamed as her eyes watered.
The sounds of flesh and skin being ripped and torn filled the air along with the sounds of horrid, bone-chilling screams which emitted from both the people in the town, and the children before Hanji. The smell of blood pooled in Hanji's nostrils, and she felt a tremendous urge to puke. She shut her eyes, not wanting to see anymore of their pain, and all Hanji wanted to do then and there was die.
She did not want to hear anymore, she did not wish to see anymore.
All Hanji could do was cry and watch as her children suffered a horrible death. She could hear her father ferociously reprimanding her: "You should be glad I didn't kill you." His voice was mingled with the voices of those who were suffering, and slowly Hanji began to black out.
The last thing Hanji heard before falling unconscious were the sounds of her children crying her name out:
"Mother.. momma!"
"Suddenly, I saw pieces of your limbs flying into the sky!
As I scrambled away, the image of your frightened eyes scorched onto my running back...
Having gone through a rabid period...the boy moves on to his next life.
Oh the Red Mill that endlessly turns, you see off an scorching era.
Oh the Red Mill that endlessly dances, you welcome back a chilling moment."

lol bye sorry if this kinda didnt make sense, but to sum it up, Hanji, Bean and Sonny (yes, people are pretty much werewolves as I said earlier, but the wolves prefer staying in a humanoid form because it shows more 'power' and 'strength' because knowing how to transform into a humanoid means that you are mentally and physically capable of being swag) were cool, and Hanji's mom died, so the Arthur dad went crazy and burnt the town because they 'caused his wife to be ill' and murdered the children because of the same reason.
Hanji is scarred at the thought of metal being used on someone for dangerous/threatening purposes because she remembers Bean's suffering.
shitty story?
yeah ik buddy, hop on the train off bullshit. I got the idea of the relationship between Sonny, Bean and Hanji from Eureka Seven (i love that anime its my childhood kindanotrlly), and I got lyrics off animelyrics
Guest: omfg this rlly made me happy. I- I didn't know people would honestly still read this, and now you gave me hope. Thank you. THANK YOU.
