The years passed and no more howls rang on the wind. The pups were now old enough to pull their weight in the pack, yet they were also in danger. Hunters were coming into the forest trying to find them. They needed to find a new home and fast. "Xemnas, we should just leave. We have the clothing needed to blen in with them. They'd never suspect a thing." A woman with dark brown almost black hair that hung to her lower back, brown eyes and wolf ears twitching occasionally on her head says. She was wearing black shorts, a black shirt and black combat boots. The man sitting by the base of a large tree sighs. He has long silvery white hair that hangs to the middle of his back, yellow eyes with silvery white wolf ears. He wears a simple white shirt with black pants and black combat boots.
"Tifa, it's not that easy. Where would we go?" She sighs softly "What about going to Destiny Island? It's remote." A blonde man with hair that was half styled into a mullet and a mohawk says. He has bright blue eyesand golden blonde hair and wolf ears. He was dressed casually along with everyone else in just a black t-shirtj, blue jeans and sneakers. "The problem with that is that there's no cover." "That may be true but there is a little island just north of Destiny Island called Azale Island. It is covered by a dense thick forest and the villagers don't dare to go into unless absolutely necessary. I guess the rumor is that it's territory to a pack of ravenous wolves." A man sitting behind the blonde man says quietly.
He has gunmetal hair that covered one of his icy blue eyes. His wolf ears twitched slightly. Xemnas looks at him curiously. "Ravenous wolves you say." The man nods. "Could be a pack like us. It's worth a shot." A man with brown that hung to his shoulders says. His grey eyes watches Xemnas' reaction while his brown wolf ears listen to the surrounding area. "Squall's right Xemnas. It can't hurt to check it out." Tifa says. Xemnas nods. "Alright. Let's go. If nothing else we can just say we're passing through." A red haired man with green eyes smirks. "Hey, who knows perhaps it's the Azale pack that went missing." His red ears twitch as he hears Squall chuckle."Perhaps." "Nam, Kai, we're leaving." Tifa calls out.
Two girls appear behind her. One has red hair and the other has blonde. Both have blue eyes. The girl with red hair also has reddish brown wolf ears while the blond has golden brown ears. "Where are we headed?" The red head asks. "Azale." Xemnas says. "Cool." The blonde says. "Maybe there will be kids our age Namine." The red head says happily. "Perhaps there will Kairi." Namine answers. "Alright, let's get going. We don''t have long before the hunters come back in and I'd rather we weren't here." Xemnas says. Everyone nods before changing into their wolf form. They wait for Xemnsas to begin running before following him. 'Remember that we need to stop at the port in order to get to Azale.'
They run through the forest until they reach the train station and change back to humansin order to board the train for the port needed to goto Azale. Once they boarded they watched the people around them. They saw a human with a crying baby, a man reading the newspaper, a few others were just staring out the windows, but one stood out to Squall. He forced his body not to tense as to not draw attention to them. He kept a close eye on the man for he smelled of death. 'Squall, we'll be alright. We're not alone. There is safety in numbers and he wont risk making a scene. Just keep an eye on him.' Xemnas says softly. 'Alright.'
The man glanced over to them or more importantly at Squall. 'He's creepy.' Namine and Kairi say. 'it will be alright. He can't touch you.' Tifa says comfortingly. The man continued to glance at Squall while Squal, Demyx, Zexion, and Axel kept an eye on him. After a few minutes the train began to slow. 'When the train stops Namine, Kairi, stay by Tifa. Zexion, keep an eye on him. Squall, I want you by the girls with Zxel. I do not know this man's intent but I will not lose anymore of my pack.' Xemnas says. The train comes to a stop and everyone stands. Xemnas steps off first, then Namine and Kairi, followed by Tifa, Axel and Squall. Demyx and Zexion follow along with the man that was staring at Squall. 'Xemnas, I don't like this guy. It's almost like he knows where we're going.' Zexion says. 'Alright, if he follows us to the boat then we can deal with him but not a moment sooner.'
They walked to the port and boarded for the islands. "Good-day are you all together?" A young man asks them "We are." Xemnas says. "Alright, so there are eight of people and where are you headed?" "Azale Isle." The man looks at them for a minute. "Azale Island!? If I may sir. Why exactly are you going there? I mean last I checked it was pretty much bare aside from wild animals and a few people." "Well, we're just looking for a remote place that's away from a lot of people." The man smiles again. "Oh, I see. Well, I do hope you find what you're looking for." Xemnas nods. "Thank you." They all walk onto the deck and watch the ocean. "It's beautiful." Kairi says. Demyx and Tifa agree. "It shouldn't be long before we're on our way." Axel says quietly. "Xemnas, that man is aboard. I don't think we should wait to much longer." Squall says quietly to him. "I understand. Wait until the boat leaves the harbor before approaching him. Something is up and I don't like it." Xemnas says back just as quietly. Squall nods while keeping an eye on him.
The man continues to watch them from a far when the boat finally leaves the dock. The man motions for Squall to follow with a nod of his head before walking off. Squall follows him away from the others when the man suddenly turns once they were out of sight. "I know what you are and I know where you're going and I'm here to tell you not to go there. Trust me the only thing you'll find is death and suffering. The pack there does not take kindly to strangers. The alpha is cold and uncaring of how anyone feels. Don't be suprised if he attacks on sight it's what he did to my pack." Squall looks at the man for a few minutes. " You reek of death. Is that because of the death of your pack or is it something else?" He asks.
The man stares at him startled. "I'm actually suprised that you noticed it. Not many do. Yes, it's partially from my pack being destroyed but it's also due to the fact that my mate is dead. It's just taken it's toll on me is all. I'm so tired from all of it that I just want to end it but something has been keeping me from my mate and I believe that something is your pack." "My pack? How can my pack be keeping you from your mate?" Squall asks. "I'm not sure. I just has a dream from after my pack was slaughtered. My mate and another I didn't recognize came to me. They told me that I was still needed. Said I needed to find a man with brown hair, stormy grey eyes with a scar that ran across his face. You fit that exact description. I was to give you a messafe once I found you." "Well, you found me so what's this so called messafe?" Sqall asks coldly. "The message is this. 'Don't give up when faced against the white pawed wolf. He may seem unbeatable but that is not true. There is a weakness just follow your nose. The scent that overwhelms you senses and clouds your mind is the path you follow. Block out all else until you find the owner and challenge him.' That's all I was told. I hope it's of more use to you than it ever was for me. Now, I must go and reclaim my place by my mate. I wish you the best of luck. May your fortune be better than ours." The man says softly before jumping overboard.
Squall watches him before walking back to the others. "Well, is everything alright?" Xemnas asks. Squall nods as he stares out at the water. 'Challenge the one who clouds my mind. Yeah right.'
