The curse

Episode5

Zed forged deeper into what seemed to be a forest, he took a scenery around him, he was right, a forest surrounded them, thick and dark with a dark hut situated in a carter of sorts. was like a meteorite had crashed into the earth, breaking a hole in the forest, and this house was situated in the wreckage, it had a grandeur and mystique surrounding it, one he'd never seen before.

The clouds darkened as thunder roared, glancing up, he saw thunderstorms sweeping in from the west and his eyes glistened in alarm. He glanced at the rolling clouds and watched in awe as it grew like a celestial tidal wave making his spine stiff, his gaze roving keenly on the surroundings.

A dull cut through the trees, he looked ahead, scanning the trees swiftly drawing nearer, a pack of wolves leaped out.

His heart raced as he frantically straightened his head leaning his gaze on the incoming pack.

They had red eyes and dark furs just like his as they howled loudly, the rate of the howling had now become deafening as they raced toward him "Looks like we've company," Claus scowled as his eyes glistened, a whirlwind dropped right out of the sky and it descended on him and Zed as the wind blew outrageously, and leaves twirled around them as the wind quieted.

Tension surged into the air as a howl escaped his mouth one so mighty the whole forest vibrated making some trees fall while plants uprooted on their own . Claws protruded from his paws, long and sharp enough to dig into a soul, fangs striking out as he howled again with Zed who also howled.

Zed had dark furs with blue eyes while Claus was also black-furred with bright leaf green eyes.

He inhaled the smell of the wolves, they smelled different and could be tagged as

'unidentified", he glided towards the wolves with the rage and fury of a monster as he crashed into them . He stared at Zed who was battling with another wolf, he dodged a wolf and pushed it with a vehement force, one so strong the wolf winced in pain crashing into the surface.

Claus howled as his fangs dug into the flesh of a wolf and it collapsed on the ground, his head turned as he glared at his side, Zed was outnumbered by wolves "I could use an extra paw here." Zed declared, and Claus raced down to where his friend was; he crashed some wolves as he descended on them with might.

His fangs drove into the flesh of a wolf, he closed his eyes tightly, calling on his powers as a splash of light seeped into his eyes.

They weren't wolves.

They were clones controlled by a figure.

The figure was in a room awash with darkness with white eyes that glistened so brightly it could be taken as a source of light itself.

White orbs floated above his palms as he crackled cynically. It was him.

The wizard.

Claus jolted out of the vision as his fangs drove out of the wolves, he started around him, and a pack of wolves pounced on him.

His eyes closed tighter than ever, the clouds darkened more and more, the wind blew with the inkling of ice, a gust of wind whistling around him as thunder roared escorted by lightning.

A drop of ice fell right out of the sky dropping right on him as the blast went out causing the wolves to disassemble. They crashed on the surface and slumped, littering everywhere.

"phew." Zed exclaimed as he transformed back to his human form he continues with an exaggerated brow "That was one hell of a pack "That was no pack, it was an army of spirits." Claus beckoned at the wolves as he blew a breeze, suddenly the wolves transformed into mists as they seeped, vanishing into thin air.

"Ugh?" Zed said in utter disbelief.

Claus transformed into his human form, his high profile standing elegantly naked.

Nudity was common in the wolf world, men could go around naked without shame for they had just transformed "I brought an extra suit for both of us just in case we had to turn." Zed prodded beckoning at some cloth that was on the floor.

"Let's go see the wizard before any crazy thing happens." Claus' chin rose as he strides towards the house with Zed by his side. Claus halted at the door as Zed stridden behind him in confidence, he examined the door, it was shattering and could easily be broken with just a kick.

He clasped the doorknob tightly and twisted it, they were greeted with a cloud of dust and strange smells that wanted into their nostrils.

He looked around, the room was dark and weary, a scene of awe. Huge hard covered books were littered, clutters and bottles, runes and symbols on every surface.

"My Lord, you came earlier than expected." A voice came from inside the darkness as the windows flustered open as light poured in on The wizard.

Claus looked up to see a tall figure, the one of a male, he had a lithe figure dressed in a dark cloak, his head, however, was hooded to cover his face.

A swift glance at the wizard was pure evidence that he'd dabbled in magic. Of course.

Dark magic.

"How did you know we were coming?" Zed inquired, creasing his brows.

"I don't need to know," His voice came again, thicker than the first as he continued, "I already know "Casting a locating spell and teleportation can only be done when the moon comes out."

Shawano bowed curtly.

"So do we have to wait for the moon to come out?" Claus Inquired.

"The ritual can start now." Shawono's voice chainsawed through the thick silence as he turned his head and stretched an arm to reach out for a book. His long fingers curled on this huge book he hadn't touched in years, the feel of its leather back cover had made a shiver run up his spine.

The book had been extremely dangerous, he had made sure not to give you the book since the book contained spells that could drain out all the magic he had. But now he saw that the case was worth it, his fingers struggling in flipping the pages as a mist surged out from the middle of the book. The mist seeped into his nose as a force grappled his mind, the electricity shocks coming from his body had a numbing effect on him. He turned his gaze, and as his eyes mysteriously turned white, he exhaled with a dark mist surging out of his nose. The book wafted off into the air, its papers all went in different directions. His lips uttered out the expensive spells, "Narona ovkshda luracino enamto vedekere ock ohem basil Mate fkov gh."

As he called the words, he felt electricity coursing through him, his feet seemed to have taken off in the air as the cloud lit up and a full moon arose resting atop puffed clouds.

The glory of the full moon had caused Claus to howl as he shifted into his wolf form. Thunder howled as darkness covered the full moon, and the wind blew outrageously as clouds of dust all formed a portal. Shawano beckoned at the two of them to go in. Claus, not rethinking his decision, went first as he jumped, and behind him was Zed.

The screams coming from the background all seemed to clear out as the two of them crashed into what they taught was concrete.

Their faces reddened as they stood up, Claus walked off in a direction, with a keen gaze, he noticed the darkness in this hall, it looked like the hideout of a criminal, he still couldn't believe that his mate could in one way or the He was now regretting his actions of following what shawano, the wizard, had said. Now he found himself in the middle of nowhere.

As he pondered on his thoughts, a wind crashed into his face, and his head, at that instant felt as though it had been split into equal halves. He inhaled that familiar scent. the one that drove him nuts, her veins stiffened and he could sense his mate was here But finding her was the main deal.

Before he could trace where the scent was coming from, a huge figure walked up to him and asked, "Who are you and what are you looking for?"

With a chuckle, his chin raised with gritted teeth, "I am Claus and I have come to claim my mate
