Chapter Six:

"What!?" "So I'm hearing that I allowed my own son to hang out with a werewolf without knowing it?"

Jay cleared his throat loudly upon noticing the annoyed look that flashed across Nya's features. "Um...actually Nya is a werewolf too apparently..."

"Thank you Jay." Nya mumbled out, before crossing her arms in front of her chest. "We haven't turned any of you into werewolves...or been unavailable during a full moon...that when my bro says stereotypes, he means you guys aren't really doing research. You're going off of what you think you know about werewolves."

All of the ninjas shifted uncomfortably at that, suddenly aware of all the times that Kai had mentioned something about stereotypes. Shaking his head, Lloyd pinched the bridge of his nose. "Great. Do you two of any idea who the Young Cub that is supposed to be the Great Alpha is by chance?"

"Not doing this..." "He's kinda out of it right now." Nya pointed to Kai, who still appeared to be unconscious despite his speaking up about how he's not doing something.

"Great! Just great! Next thing I know is that Misako is going to tell us that there's a prophesy about each one of us!" Jay whined loudly as he flung his hands into the air.

Wu chuckled at Jay's antics, even as Misako hurriedly calmed him down. "There's only the two prophesies...that we know of. Since this one was lost, there could be other lost prophesies...but I highly doubt they're about you six!"

Jay calmed down a bit at that, though worry still creased his brow. "If another prophesy pops up that the answer happens to be one of us... then I'm gonna tell you all I told you so."

"Sure...whatever makes you happy Jay." Cole rolled his eyes skyward at that.

Zane cleared his throat loudly, causing everyone to turn to face him. "I really hate to break this to you during this enlightening conversation, but there is a werewolf sniffing around the courtyard. Falcon is watching him but we probably should intervene soon."

Nya groaned or growled at that, they were a smidgen concerned that they couldn't tell...and knowing she can turn into a wolf at will... She stormed off, quickly exiting the building and marched right up to the werewolf that was indeed sniffing around the yard. "Get out of here! You're not welcome here! Get back to your Pack's Alpha!"

The werewolf paused, turning to face her for a second, before turning into a middle aged man, old enough to be the ninjas father. "I am afraid that I cannot do that since my Alpha is dead... Storm in the Night Sky."

Nya furrowed her brows in confusion, glancing back to see that the others had followed her...minus Zane. Though with her brother's lack of consciousness was most definitely the reason why he wasn't there right now. Cole gave a slow nod, already readying his scythe in case the werewolf turned out to be another foe. Jay slipped next to her, nunchucks in hand. Turning to face the intruder, she spoke slowly. "Who are you...and how do you know my name?"

He smiled softly, clearly trying to disarm them. "You were so young that you most likely do not recognize me at all...you look so much like your mother you know."

"Just answer the question!" Nya carefully pulled at a dagger, to signal to him that she was being dead serious.

He swallowed at the sight of the dagger, before hurriedly explaining himself to the ninjas. "I am Sparrow Playing in the Field, best friend of Alpha Ray of Sun that Warms the Earth."

"That name sounds familiar... the second one, not the first one." "Kai mentioned a Sparrow Playing in the Field once... what was his favorite game to play when you were pupsitting him?"

Sparrow Field smiled at that, before responding in kind. "I am presuming that by Kai you mean Alpha Prince Fire that Burns Brighter than the Noonday Sun, in which case he loved it when I would play Howling Mountain with him whenever I would pupsit him."

Nya quickly relaxed, moving to give him a quick hug. "It is you! He mentioned that no one outside of you two even knew that since Howling Mountain is considered a girl's game."

Sparrow Field smiled, before hugging her tightly to his chest. "I thought you had been killed that awful night. Only for Queen Song of the Sea's nephew Storm in the Sky to tell me that he had placed you two on one of his fishing vessels and you were somewhere out in the big open ocean. Finding out about this new land, it gave us in the Revolution a chance to hope that we will find another alpha to lead."

"Don't you have Alphas already?" Nya frowned, concern flashing through her.

Sparrow Field shook his head, his shoulders drooping. "Alpha Eagle Caught Prey knows the way of our people. All Alphas, regardless of age have been slain. We have been trying to get to mothers when they give birth in case luck is on our side and they give birth to an Alpha instead of a Beta or Omega, so far though we have failed on that part. Often times we wondered if perhaps we could succeed better if we were able to convince others to join our ranks."

"You mean Eagle Caught Prey as been killing infants as well as grownups?" Nya was disturbed with this news, her mind whirling.

"Yes... he knows that by tradition another alpha can step forward and either form a new Pack or challenge him. Reason why we need you and your brother."

Nya raised an eyebrow upwards, surprise flashing through her. "I am no Alpha. The stones of destiny made it clear when I was born that I am an Omega."

"True... but the stones of destiny always put forth two paths with everyone, due to the fact that we can change over time. Your second path was that of an Alpha. Your brother however had no second path laid out. He is more of an Alpha than anyone has ever been." Sparrow Field calmly pointed out to her.

Nya looked down at her hands, flexing her fingers so that claws slid in and out. "Kai needs to heal. He...needs to accept what the stones of destiny claimed. He has been an Omega this entire time, refusing to even acknowledge that he was an Alpha Prince before all of this happened."

"Well...let's hope he accepts his destiny before much longer..."

A/N: SkyTalon recommends that I respond to reviews more often to attempt to gather more.
