The pain was immediate as the consciousness of the Dread Wolf Gaius slipped away and I was forcibly ejected from the safety of the inner world back into my Werewolf form. The only thing I had was a clue, one hint of a word lingering in the air that Gaius had directed towards me… weakness.

I could hardly focus on the word as panic started to set in as the towering form of the abomination that was the corpse of the bear god and Vileaza came at me. It was a struggle to move, I was exhausted, my thoughts grew foggy and it was hard to think. I quickly realized why when I felt the sensation of warm dripping through my fur. Blood, I realized and remembered as I looked down to see the black tendril that had impaled me into the wall.
