Woho!! I'm having a good week! I've lost my drawer's block, got DDRMAX, got March's Shonen Jump, (I love Naruto!!!) I decided to try making a comic, (manga really. . .) AND I wrote this chapter.

Chapter 7 Dog eat Dog. . .The Wyrn Mission

The brothers and their new friends made their way to the kitchen. Saia had joined them. Leuthe lead the way. Everyone there had introduced themselves to Tye, since he hadn't known anyones' name. As they got to the kitchen, Dyne could see a red haired man putting plates of food on a big rectangular table. Everyone came in and sat down; the red haired man sat down as well Skail was already seated at one end of the table. Tye and Dyne noticed there was still one chair, food in front of it, with no one sitting there.

After everyone was situated, Skail gave them the signal to go ahead. Dyne and Tye both dug into their meal. There was a big slab of meat, some kind of leafy vegetables, and a potato. Dyne quickly scarfed the potato and vegies, then went at the meat. It tasted pretty good, but Dyne had never had anything that tasted like it before. After getting half way through it. He decided to ask what it was.

"Hey, Mr. Skail?"

Skail stopped eating and looked up at Dyne. "Yes?"

Dyne poked his meat with his fork. "This is good. What is it?"

Tye, who had already finished his meat and was working on the potato, looked up at Skail. "Yeah, what was that? It was delicious."

Skail hesitated a little and replied. "It's. . .um, blade."

Dyne cocked his head and looked at everyone. Some of the group was staring at him. He looked over at Tye, who was a light shade of green. He had a disgusted look on his face. "What's up? What's a blade?" Dyne asked. Tye stared at him like he was the biggest dumbass in the world.

". . .It's a type of demon. It looks like a giant lizard. . ." Tye explained, sounding like he was about to vomit.

Dyne looked down at his half eaten blade steak. The thought of eating a big lizard demon just wasn't appealing to him. He looked back up and smiled. Everyone was still staring at him, but some began averting their attention to Tye. Kimra was quietly snickering across from Tye. Saia put one hand on her face, she was trying to hide a faint smirk. Leuthe continued eating, along with Troy. Even Skail saw Tye's reaction rather. . .humorous. Dyne thought about it for a moment. It was kinda funny. He began to laugh.

"Damn! I can't believe I just ate that!" His laughing was interrupted by a sudden outburst from Tye.

"WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING???!!! HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE EAT THIS?! IT'S A DEMON! LIKE YOU!" Tye yelled.

"Well, what do you suggest we eat? The demons ate almost all the food in town. The electricity's out, so anything that has to be refrigerated has spoiled by now, and the only place to get perishable food is WAY on the other side of town. In between here and there is 'No Man's Land.'" The red headed man argued. He didn't seem like a nice guy.

Skail sighed. "He's right. We've been scrapping by on nothing but demon meat and the rest of our canned vegetables, along with the ones that Saia grows. The only place left to get food is at the Shop n' Go on the other side of town." Tye relaxed, feeling sorry for the group. Skail sighed again. He knew that Tye would have a hard time understanding their troubles; he had never seen such hard times as the Wolf clan had. Skail, being the leader of the clan, had had his fair share of hardships during his life. He looked at Dyne, who had apparently decided he was hungry enough to continue his lunch.

After everyone finished lunch, Saia and the red haired man picked up the dishes. They left the one plate that had not been eaten off of.

"Who's that for?" Dyne asked. He could still eat some more and was wondering if he could have it.

"Oh, that's for Chris. He'll be back soon." Skail explained. "We always leave his food there, in case he comes in a little late."

"What if he never shows up?" Dyne asked.

"Well, he goes out to 'No Man's Land' to scout out the area and kill some demons. He always comes back to eat lunch, then he goes out again. He asks us to leave his food here, so no one has to reheat his or anything. If he never shows up, then we suspect the worst for him. . ."

After a few moments of silence, Dyne remembered about the clan wanting their help. "What did you want our help with? You said you'd tell us over lunch."

Skail had obviously forgotten. He nodded his head to in an 'Oh yeah' gesture. "As I've told you, we're short on food. We need some help killing the demons. There are a few types of demons around right now. We have some shadows, and a few Sins, but there are hundreds of blades and another type that we call wyrns. They look like small dragons. They're a hell of a lot worse than the biggest blade. They shoot fireballs out of their mouths too. Every time we kill one, two more take its place. They're our biggest threat."

Dyne, still sitting at the table, propped his feet up on the table. "So you want us to try and kill the little bastards, right?"

Skail sighed. "No. You see, Chris went to find the mother. We know that there's a mother wyrn that can reproduce at a very high rate. If we get rid of her, then no more will be produced, so they'll all eventually die. We'll be able to kill off the remainders. We just want you to help kill the mother wyrn."

Dyne thought it over. Even though they already had a mission, he wanted the chance to see some action. "Yeah, we'll help. Are we gonna get any pay?"

Skail laughed. "Pay? We fed you, right? We don't have anything to pay you. Haven't you figured that out yet?"

Dyne shrugged. "Oh well, we'll do it anyways."

Tye massaged his temples. "Why don't I ever have a say in any of this. . ?"

"Because. . .You just don't." Dyne said with a cocky smirk.

Okay. That's it for now. I'll have more soon. . .I hope. Keep with your reviews. I really love writing this!!
