UNDER THE CRESCENT MOON

In the dregs of daylight;a crescent Moon could be seen as cool breeze hovered around Nethran. Douglar was outside training young black wolves;"children our fangs is our greatest strength and the most vulnerable part of who we are",he said revealing his large fangs."once removed or damage,you are technically useless and cannot shapeshift to a wolf likewise if your fangs are damaged in your wolf form, you will never turn back to human, understood!"he shouted. "Yes alpha", the children uniformly responded. Just then a boy of fifteen years was hiding behind an oak tree secretly listening to alpha Douglar's teachings ,"yh my father once told me that"he soloquized , looking back at the platform,he could no longer see Douglar. "Where is he?,is he done?!". "What do you think you are doing brown wolf kid",a deep voice was heard from behind as a hand grabbed him by the shoulder, throwing him meters backwards until he crashed into a tree. "Urg!"he slowly stood up after having a blur view of a tall man with spikey hair angrily drawing near. "Alpha Douglar"he said as he bowed. "Brown werewolves aren't allowed in my teachings boy!"he yelled as he grabbed the boys collar lifting him completely off ground. "I.. will.. make..an.. example..of..you". "You will do no such Douglar,put Boobie down,put my son down"Christian's voice was heard. "Your son?"Douglar said in confusion knowing that Christian wasn't married and was not in any kind of relationship. "Very well"he said as he dropped him,he walked towards Christian and said to him,"son? well tell your son to stay out of my way". As he was walking away, Christian spoke; "are you trying to separate us?,do you want to wage war against our pack just because of some weapon". "Then let me have it Christian,step down let me have it"Douglar yelled. "He's just a kid, you killed his father,what are you even saying"he softly said as line of broken tears rolled down his cheeks. "You killed my men too, you t....". "How many people will have to die for this weapon"Christian interrupted. "I'll kill as many as I can to inherit that dagger"he muttered angrily. "It's over between us and if you ever raise your hand on my son ,then I'll have no other option but to fight you". Christian took Boobie by the ear and went away. "Oh! Christian I have waited so many years to see your weakness,I think I Know it now, it's your family!"he thought as he went back to the platform. Meanwhile;a shadowed figure was on a hill,silhouetted against the light,it was humanoid so it was definitely a man,he had witnessed the whole thing. "Christian, you will make a hell of an alpha"he said vanishing from the hill. According to werewolves traditions, being good doesn't make you a leader, it's the truth. Douglar was winning the test because he stated his mind and intentions towards the dagger. Christian on the other hand, though good but haven't even revealed his real intention towards the dagger. The quest for power is now on going and the elder has decided to take them both to the trial of truth. "Elder Sheeran!,the high sage of all werewolves and the fifty nine elders of the entire pack, I'm honored to be in your midst", a masked man entered a large room with all the elders sitting and chatting said with his head faced down. "What is it Rackeno?"the elder asked. "I've got news, Douglar is winning,he is stating his true motives though bad, unlike Christian, his true intentions are still hiding"Rackeno said. "What was his motive?"an elder asked. "He just wants to answer the name 'alpha' I guess "he said with his head down. "Ha! ha! that doesn't mean he spoke the truth, mortals don't really know the truth so somethings we say now might sound like truth to us but it's not really it, Rackeno"another said. "I don't really understand?"he said raising his head up. "He means that in our tradition,words don't really prove truth, it's our actions, Douglar might have said so many wrong things but the spirit of our ancestors will decide if he's truly the alpha",elder Shereen interpreted. "Hmmmm, truly the alpha, thanks for the knowledge"Rackeno said as he went outside. "44th elder, your saying really inspired me,why haven't I taught of tha..... whattt!"elder Sheeran shouted as he saw the elder who just said inspiring words few seconds ago sleeping and snoring, every one was disgusted as saliva could be seen streaming down his mouth. "Ignore him, he's just a dog"the 13th elder said. "You mean drooling like a dog". "I wonder if his wolf form drools like that". The sage elder_Sheeran stood up, moving out. "Enough! the crescent Moon is fully out, it's time to begin the trial of truth".
