"That was a waste of our fucking time," Hidan angrily said as he slammed the orb on the table. They've returned home and Hidan was really, really angry. Thanerah set the alarm and glanced at her husband who was glaring at the orb and was trying to figure out how to open the damn thing.

She walked behind him and wrapped her arms around his torso. He was still but he relaxed under her touch. He breathed in deeply and let out a heavy sigh. He asked her "Now what the fuck are we going to do? How the fuck can we open this damn thing?"

She snuggled against his shoulder blade and answered "Don't worry, love. We'll figure something out."

He let out a small scoff "Tch, and I thought that old man my fucking father mentioned could solve this fucking problem."

She removed her arms and walked around to grab the orb from him to examine it. She leaned against the table as she randomly pressed the buttons and turned its layers around. Hidan sighed and said to her "You're wasting your breath, honey. This thing is fucking complica—Whoa!"

Suddenly some yellow holographic images appeared from the orb like a projector. It was showing many things like ancient cities, over vast landscapes, some monstrous creatures that were unseen in the books she studied.

Hidan grinned widely at her "You fucking cracked it!" he exclaimed and he kissed her on the lips and twirl her around a bit in a small celebration, though he was still angry that they went through a long journey and returned with nothing…but cheeses for Soran.

Then the holographic screens were slowing down and were showing an old ruin that looked more like a tomb. It was in a tropical forest and there were these beautiful light blue flowers with white details coming from the middle. They were also releasing some soft pollen into the air and they were actually glowing. Suddenly the holographic images stopped and returned inside the orb.

Thanerah looked at the orb in her hand strangely and mumbled "What the hell does that mean?"

Hidan seemed to be in deep thought until he asked her "Do you recognize those fucking flowers?"

She thought about it for a moment and then snapped her fingers "Wait…I saw them in a book once. They say that it's a really rare flower and there's only one place to find them."


Odan was staring at the couple before him in disbelief "You want to go…where?"

Hidan sighed heavily and said to him "Look, I know you think this is fucking crazy."

"It IS fucking crazy! That place is nothing but werewolves!"

"But that's the perfect fucking thing! Have you forgotten that I'm married to a werewolf?"

Odan looked at Thanerah and mumbled "I kept forgetting that…I'm still shocked that you're the daughter of Lord Jashin. But I'm honored by that, you know?"

She nodded "Yes. I know."

Hidan shook his head "Enough of that! Now, will you give us the permission to leave? We haven't got all day, you know!?" It was obvious that he was getting really impatient to know what's hiding inside that tomb the orb showed.

Odan softly glared at his son "Give me one good reason why I should just let you venture into the werewolf territory? We have a treaty with them."

"I fucking know that! That's why I want to bring Thanerah!"

Odan narrowed his eyes at Hidan then looked at Thanerah "Did you have any contact with the werewolf clans?"

"Some, but I think Tagor is better on the job since he's been with them longer than I."

Odan nodded "So it's settled then. Tagor will go with you to the werewolves' territory."

Thanerah remembered something so she said to Hidan "Wait. The children have to go through their Full Moon first. Or else, things will go disastrous. This is perfect. We can bring the children along because we have to take place of the Full Moon in the werewolf territory!"

"Do you think we have enough time, Tha?" asked Hidan with an arched brow.

She nodded "Yes. This is like hitting two birds with one stone. It's perfect."

He smirked at her "Hmm, guess this is destiny." He turned his attention to his father "So, I'll bring the whole family again. Plus Tagor. Will you give me the permission?"

"Yes. And by careful. I have a bad feeling about what you'll find in that tomb."


"You got to be shitting me!" grumbled Soran angrily as he slammed his cards on the table as he had lost yet another game to his little brother. This time he was playing serious, yet he still lost to his little brother.

Claw grinned widely in victory and held out his hand to receive his award "Now give it here. A promise is a fucking promise."

Soran grumbled angrily as he dug his hand in his pocket and pulled out some more 10 gold coins. He angrily slammed the money in his little brother's hand and shouted "You got to be cheating! What the fuck did you do!?"

Claw was counting the money to be certain and he innocently replied to Soran "I didn't cheat. I play fair and square. You must be losing your fucking touch to be this bad."

Soran gritted his teeth as he growled at Claw angrily "Why you little piece of shi-!"

They suddenly heard some loud banging at the front door and heard their father's voice "Hey! Open up! We need to fucking talk! NOW!"

The brothers quickly glanced at each other and asked in unison "What did you do?" They both shook their heads.

"Open this door now!" demanded Hidan as he continued to bang on the front door. Soran gulped and stood up from the table to answer the door. When he did, he asked his father quite nervously "Um…what's up?"

Hidan narrowed his eyes at him "Don't give me that fucking shit and pack your fucking bags. We're going."

Soran gawked at him "Again!? But we just got back!"

"Don't argue with me! Go pack your bags or I'll shove a stake down your fucking throat!"

Thanerah sighed heavily and took a step so she was between her husband and son. She said to Soran "Just listen to your father. It involves the whole family again only this time; it's also with your uncle."

"Uncle Tagor?" asked Soran with an arched brow.

Thanerah nodded with a smile, "Yes. Now go and pack your bags. Tell your brother as well. We're going to pick up Fenora afterwards."

Soran let out a long relieving sigh "Oh shit. I thought we were in trouble or something."

She waved her hand to him "Ah, don't worry. You're not in any trouble. Your father is just in one of his moods right now."

Hidan softly growled in annoyance "You do know that I'm standing right here, right?"

Thanerah simply replied "I know."


The family was riding through a dark forest at night while it was heavily raining. They were all wearing cloaks as rain coats. Even though it was raining the crescent moon was still shining brightly in the sky with dark clouds passing by.

They were passing through an old village; strangely they didn't have the advance technology as they do. However Tagor told Thanerah that the villagers living in the werewolf lands preferred to live in the old fashion ways, they don't really believe in technology like the Amish.

Hidan was looking through the simple village thoroughly while Thanerah was sitting in front of him as he held on the reins. "This reminds me too much of my old fucking days…A very, very long time ago…" he mumbled but Thanerah heard it as clear as a bell.

Tagor was leading the way since he knows this best than anyone in the group. He stopped at a large gate that was made out of long thick wooden spikes. There were also three men with torches and pitch forks as if they were guarding the gate.

While they were entering the village they saw the villagers leaving at the opposite direction. Thanerah wondered why and where they were going. She asked Hidan about it but he had no idea as well.

The three villagers flinched when they saw the group. An old man with a wooden yet spiky pitch-fork pointed it at them and asked "Who are you and what are you doing here?" But there was fear and doubt in his eyes. For he was nervous about the hooded figures and the beasts they were on.

Steel – Hidan's Ukrah – growled at the old man before he surprisingly snatched the wooden pitch-fork from him and chewed it into bits before spitting it out to the side.

The old man stumbled back in surprise and shock. Hidan pulled the reins a bit "Steel, calm the fuck down."

Suddenly they heard a loud howl coming from in the dark forest behind the wooden spiky gate. The three villagers flinched and one of them mumbled "T-They're coming…"

Tagor hopped off Claw's Ukrah – he had been riding with Claw since they left Hanatul because he usually travels by train, ship or wolf form. Tagor landed on the muddy ground and took a few steps towards the three villages who took a few steps back as he approached.

Tagor said to them "You should leave, if you want to live. Unless you want to be eaten and torn apart, then be my guest to stay."

The three villages glanced at each other before they ran past the group to catch up with the rest of the villagers. Once they were out of hearing, Soran said "Tch, typical!"

Claw rolled his eyes before he flinched when he heard another howl but it was closer than before. "What the fuck was that? Wolves?"

Tagor smirked and answered "More like our cousins."

The children asked in unison "Cousins?"

Then they saw wolves approaching and they leaped onto the trees and simply jumped over the wooden spiky walls while their eyes were glowing red. Soran scoffed and grumbled "So much for protection of this village…"

Claw murmured to him in agreement.

Suddenly they saw wolves with red eyes climbing up on the high trees and simply jumped over the wall. They landed on the muddy ground and growled at the group. But Tagor just looked at them calmly. There was a dark brown wolf with its eyes glowing red. It approached Tagor slowly while aggressively growling. Then it suddenly phased into a human form.

"What in the name of Zevrah are you doing here? I thought you were living in a human city now."

"I'm here to enter my nephews and niece to the Full Moon ceremony. And I am still living in the city." He mentioned towards the children.

The man glanced over Tagor's shoulder to observe the children and then asked Tagor "Those three?"

Tagor nodded. Then he asked the werewolf "And what about you? What brings you here? And why are the villagers fleeing the village?"

"It's…complicated. I'll explain when we're back at home. It's not safe to speak here."

Tagor narrowed his eyes "Wait…is there something I should know?"

"Well…the villagers didn't flee from us. They were fleeing from-!" he was cut off when they suddenly heard the bard gate being hit loudly from the other side. Everyone turned their heads to the sound and continued to hear the gate being banged hard.

"What the f**k…?" mumbled Hidan as Steel was tense and was growling quite aggressively. He quickly whispered in Thanerah's ear "Love, stay close to me."

Thanerah nodded in response.

Suddenly the gate was banged open and heavy thick fur. It howled loudly like a wolf but it looked more like a grizzly bear.

The man who was speaking with Tagor growled and phase back into his wolf form as the other wolves surrounded the fowl beast. The man gave Tagor a look with a small snarl before the other wolves attacked the intruding beast.

Tagor nodded and shouted at the family "Once the beast gets out of the way we have to run down into the forest!"

The family nodded and Tagor quickly jumped back behind Claw on his Ukrah.
