Author's Notes: I'm determined to at least get further in this one than on my last stories but you know how an idea takes you and distracts you from your other stories. . .well maybe not.

Author's Notes 2:

Ulfric-Wolf Leader (not necessarily male)

Osa- leader

Fenrir- in Norse mythos the giant wolf that swallows the sun and kills Odin. In this story however Fenrir is the challenger for the position of Ulfric such confrontations of those parts always end in death.

Munin- the spirits of the dead

Lukoi- the pack basically

Freki- Second in Command

Geri- Third in Command

Earthy scents and pungent herb smells permeated the forest

and drifted to his nose as Kouga's bare feet padded against the

earth, newly damp with mist, rain, blood, and piss among other

things. The challenge was ended and the challenger, "Fenrir", lay

dead and lifeless on the forest floor-meat to feed the pack, for

weakness was not allowed nor treachery.

Blood dribbled slowly down his chin and gobblets of flesh slid

down his throat as he consumed the fallen's memory, spirit,

and power making him munin.


"Ulfric, Osa, what would you have us do now?" one of the

lower wolves questioned. "Kill Hiro's chosen guard and

supporters, we cannot have mutiny within the pack," Kouga stated

looking upon the younger member who's face was stained and

smeared still with blood, grass, and mud.


A sudden wash of power had Kouga clutching at his head to

regain his senses and grasp the concepts of what it was that had

happened and what it was he'd just felt, he was already weak in the

knees as it was and his legs were trembling badly.


The lesser wolves of his pack, the Lukoi, were already to their

knees and trembling on the ground. Not waiting for the pack to get

their bearings or even to get to their feet he laughed joyously and

said with a brilliantly wicked smile, "Change of plans boys! We

are gonna find out exactly what that was and we either eliminate

the source or we can take it for ourselves if it is what, or rather

who, I suspect it is," then he let out a howl and the others of the

lukoi echoed it.


"Well let's go," he barked out impatiently in his wolf form after

seeing that he wasn't being followed before leading his pack on

the hunting path now that he had a sense-trail for what he had felt.


Imagine his surprise and disappointment when he spotted a

human village, 'Ah well it's to be expected I suppose'. Shifting back

to his human form just outside of the village he spoke to his Freki

"Ryoko" and his Geri "Hiroji"- his second and third in command

as well as the rest of the Lukoi. "Whatever. . .whoever is

responsible for the power surge is in that village," he said making

a motion with his head towards the village. "And the rest?" Ryoko

questioned to which Kouga replied with an intense smile, "Lunch".

He then let out another wild howl as he shifted back to his wolf

anima before leading the raid his consciousness buried in the

pleasures of meat, blood, the crunch of bones beneath his teeth,

and the screams of pain and fear amongst the dying.
