Chapter 13

1416 Words
*Savannah* I spend my morning finishing up the arcane magic book. The last third of the book goes into details over different prophecies. I find one that seems to be about me. The beast who is white as snow will bring a change through many, the beast whose fur is of the night will bring about a change that will affect the world, the many beasts will gather bringing a change feared by some but loved by many, the snow will bring a force not seen by the many in thousands of moons, the beasts will bring new beasts that are stronger than foresaw by few, war will come to the beasts from the many that are afraid, however the change will save the many and the many will bow to the two, the two will rise and conquer the scared and save the many from the some. I sat wondering who these "some" are and if it's actually referring to the group who refers to themselves as the Government. I sit there for a bit before getting up and combing my hair and french braiding the front into a sort of headband. I leave the room and head to Alex's office. I get to the door and knock before entering. I walk across the room and around Alex's desk and wrap my arms around my very sexy wolf. I lean up and give him a kiss. He responds deepening the kiss. A moment later there is a knock on the door and Roosevelt wheels our lunch in bows and exits. We sit on the green couch and start to dig in when Alex turns and asks me. "So I have been doing some renovations on the old Luna's office and I have received word that it is finally ready. Would you like to go see it after we are done with lunch?" I turn to him surprised and nod at him through my full mouth. He smiles and we continue eating. When we finish eating we get up and walk out the office and cross the hall to another door. He pulls out a key and unlocks the room and inside is a room with deep purple walls, a mahogany desk, and a very comfy-looking pine green couch. The floor was pine and brightened the darkly painted room up. There were bookshelves full of books lining the walls around the couch. There were french doors leading to a balcony that looked directly across the lawn to what looked to be a group of people working on a path into the woods. I point to the group and ask Alex what they were doing and he explains they are making a pathway to the lake for the coronation that takes place in a couple weeks. They will also be working on the remodeling and building of several different facilities and new training grounds. This location will be the future sight of multiple different beasts training together which has caused an expansion in the work study program and the need for multiple pack buildings and expansions to all the training and rec centers already on the premises. We have in one weekend went from housing a few hundred members to needing to house a few thousand members. I notice on the balcony there is a table and chairs set out we take a seat on a couch like chair and Alex puts his arm around me. As we gaze off into the distance I see a huge plume of smoke rising up from what looks to be a forest fire. I point it out to Alex and his face turns white. He gives me a quick kiss and rushes out the room. A moment later he links me and apologizes to me but he needs to form a fireteam to fight that fire or it might get to close to town. About a minute later I hear a loud siren go off and see a group run out of one of the pack houses to the left and run to another building that I couldn't see what was on it but I guessed it was the fire department. Within thirty minutes there is a helicopter that takes off and a group of wolves rush out a few moments later. I watch as the helicopter circles the fire after a few minutes it disappears then returns. A little while later the plume has grown larger and not smaller and another helicopter has joined the first. Another group goes into the woods followed by another a few minutes later. The first group returns and I see another group arrive and about ten trucks pull up to the building. About three people get out before the trucks drive into the forest down a path and towards the fire. I leave my office and head down to the kitchen to see what I can do to help. I find Gabby and her and her assistants are overseeing the kitchen workers who are busy making meals for the firefighters. Gabby says they don't need any assistance but that I should head to the firehouse and see what I can help with. They might need help prepping drinks and such. I head to the firehouse and find Alex talking to the fire chief while they try to figure out how to get ahead of the fire. I see the map of the fire and notice its already fully engulfed over five-hundred acres and quickly spreading towards the town and the pack houses. I notice they have what looks to be a directional wind meter. I then notice that one of the teams they have set will need to be moved since they will be engulfed and quickly show Alex and the chief. They noticed this also and move to send out new coordinates so the team is safer. After few moments later they add a new team and I explain that instead of fighting the fire they where they send the new team the should put a firebreak there instead the chief looks at it a moment and says they should add another at a different location to help slow the fire if they are lucky the can get it under control. A group walks in covered in soot and goes to get drinks and food before taking a seat. The chief walks up to one of them and begins talking and Alex walks over to me. Alex's face is still paled and he has a beard to his shoulders and his hair is part way down his back if he didn't look so pale he would be very sexy. He says the chief has sent word to the forest fire team and they will be out within the hour however the fire is in the middle of the forest but is very hard to get to since there isn't trails to that location. The helicopters have been out scouting it but are not trained for fire fighting they typically only do rescues. The radio comes to life and the fire chief starts barking out coordinates to the mic. A few minutes later a group comes in drops a smoking package to Alex bows and leaves. Alex stands there a moment looking at the package before opening it. *Alex* The town is in danger with a forest fire easily already engulfing a thousand acres and quickly spreading do to the winds coming down the mountains heading straight towards it. A group had just came in bringing me a smoldering package. I stare it at for a good moment wondering what it was before opening it. Inside the box was a book and an envelope. The book was The History of Mythological Creatures and How Their Relationship Destroyed the World. The envelope contained a letter addressed to me and the new council of weres and read as such; Dear Alexander and the Were Council, Hello. You are receiving this package as a warning to stop all future relationships with the other were creatures in your council or risk a more direct attack from us. This includes the recent renovations going on to your land to accommodate said creatures and their training. If this does not stop we will send more than simple fires and group attacks. We will send the entire government force. This is your written notice to cease all council actions by next week or suffer the consequences. Sincerely, The Government Leader
