THE REVENGE OF A WEREWOLF

Who are you?

Getting to the cabin my questions began to pile up. I asked my assist… AI if it sensed anything and though its answer was no. it did give reasons why it could not Alert me beforehand..

Reasons like, it was operating at just 20% of its normal power and that is the major reason why it couldn't pick up anything but apart from that I also could not pick up anything which was strange..

Normally I hear and feel when humans walk close but for him, if he had not said anything I would probably be doing everything I was doing and I wouldn’t notice he was there, which is seriously unsettling.

Letting the questions go for a minute, I felt the exhaustion of putting my heart on hold for long without deactivating or eliminating my art..

The rules of art manifestation are not convenient but also kind of convenient.

For example..

For Rule 1. An art can be manifested basically by reciting the chants and focusing your energy, but for people who have an affinity for magic, they can manifest it from their very souls with little to no focus. You see convenient but also inconvenient.

Rule 2 : Depending on the form you are in, the amount of art you can summon or manifest at the same time is limited. If in a half transformation, then you can use 3 Arts. Though it is possible to use 4, it is not very simple because of the amount of strain you will have to face after. Not just that, but it could also immobilize you for days. Then, if in full werewolf transformation, you can use 6 or 7 Arts.. But 5 is the most advisable because of the amount of strain you would get from using 6, but then it's only been recorded in the history of 1 werewolf who used 7 arts at the same time, but in my opinion, that is like a tall tale because it was told by my dad but still even though possible he made it clear that trying it is Suicide, but it can actually be successful, but the backlash will leave you in a state so terrible you won’t be able to transform for some days and that alone would make you very vulnerable.

Rule 3: Forbidden arts are forbidden not just because of how dangerous they are to everyone around the user, but they are forbidden because they are even dangerous to the user himself. Some can end your life after, some can seal your power or take your power permanently in return, some can harm your mind and slowly make you become unstable. While some can make you meet with what is unearthly. In contrast, not much is known about this.

Rule 4: You must have a proper understanding of the art you’re trying to bring forth or trying to manifest, if you lack the understanding that art may end up destroying you or may not even manifest at all. When I say destroying you, I mean killing you or severely injuring you. Each art has the amount of energy it needs to manifest, but at the same time, it has the amount of energy it needs to maintain it also. The power of your art is determined by understanding the art you call forth…

Rule 5: Not everyone has the affinity to manifest an art, which is why not everybody can be trained to manifest an art. Now what determines your affinity is sometimes tied to your soul energy, but for some others, like I, it is time to my origin. A human can manifest an art, but that human must have an understanding of what art manifestation even is in the first place and if his soul is powerful enough, through meditation, he can manifest an art. But mostly the affinity is determined by blood or origin. Which means the blood of a mythical beast can be used to manifest an art because of its origin. For people like the primis lex, they have power just because they made a lot of sacrifices to their own blood which is forbidden, but they went past that threshold, enduring hell just so they could get their power.

Rule 6: An art can be suspended without ending it. This is possible only if you have an understanding of your soul's energy itself after having a deep understanding of the art you called forth or manifested. Although it is obvious to break an art or to and an art you need to supply it with no energy and focus or strictly utter the word “Art Break", But this depends on how you are taught to stop your art. For me, I just do not focus and supply it with no energy and it stops.

Rule 7: You can focus an art on a specific part of your body. For example, if you want your art to manifest on your limbs, you can chant it into your hands or other parts of your body by replacing places where you personalize it. “Instead of I have become, you can say my hand has become" something like that, it is hard to explain but even harder to manifest….

Now for the most important rule.. “An Art can…”

“ Master Rio, we are running low on supplies.” The A.I said..

“Sigh" I said as I paid attention to the cupboard.

To have more supplies, I need money, to have money, I need a job and now to have a job. Well, I need to be somewhat certified except for some places where no specifications are needed. You just need to be willing to work. Like the AI said, companies and domestic labor kinds of works are always available. But then at the same time, I am so not available.

(Later that evening)

“Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.”

“That’s hilarious” I said as I laughed uncontrollably.

“I mean, he said he should jump from that height, and he instead took the elevator because he was scared."

“I mean yeah, he is a p***y like the guy inside him said… I mean how would I be scared having that inside me" I said as I laughed some more.

“ Well, I guess it’s the human response to danger,” I said.

“Well, not all humans may respond that way" The AI said.

“Why do you think that? I mean it's obvious and, from my experiences, I feel like humans take the easy way out”, I replied.

“Well, let’s say not every time, but you are right, but at the same time, there are some humans who will stand their ground on matters and do things even when they are scared,” it said.

“Hmm…so you mean if some humans had something like this guy we just watched in them, they would really jump" I asked.

“Yes they would, they would face the challenge and jump.” It answered.

“ That human must be brave or crazy,” I said as I replied.

“Precisely, it’s going to be considered crazy because the human is literally trusting something he has just met with its life… and It's going to be considered brave because the human has been saved by this thing multiple times but then takes a leap to obey it on something really risky…” it said.

“Hmmm. Well, ill conclude on the human being crazy either way for real" I said to it.

“What will you do in that situation master Rio?” It asked me..

“Let’s say…. I would jump..” I answered.

“That’s interesting. Would it be knowing this thing could save you from that fall?” It asked again.

“Well yes, I would say that and that will make me brave, but at the same time, I may just jump off cause I wanted to accept the challenge and thrill, which will make me crazy.” I replied..

“So then who are you?” It asked once more

“well in botn, I am the Crazy one.”
