Dreams

Tristan's watch was quiet and uneventful, they had arrived at their camp around noon and were waiting to hunt until nighttime, so he took the first watch. He was lost in his thoughts when Crim woke up from his sleep and relieved him.

Tristan curled up in his wolf form and began sleeping, he fell into a very deep sleep almost instantly...

*In Tristan's dreams*

Tristans dreams were very vivid that night, more so than ever before. He was clearly in the past somehow as a very powerful Lycan. He didn't have much knowledge of past civilizations and almost nothing was really known about the history of Lycans but in his dream he thought he was what used to be called Egypt, there was giant pyramids he could see in the distances and a massive battle was raging. The battle was between Lycans and what Tristan could only describe as Werecats he didn't know any other word for it. Tristan appeared to be leading the army of the Lycans and there appeared to be a female "Werecat" leading the other army. Both armies quickly parted, and Tristan found himself fighting against the head of the other army. As he fought, he noticed that he somehow had the power to manipulate shadows around him, and in each shadow, he swears he could feel a demonic presence trying to creep out and attack the Werecat leader. Despite him not having these powers in real life he was fighting like he had the shadow powers his entire life, almost like he wasn't having a dream but living a memory. He was almost completely dominating the fight, as he was about to land what should be a fatal blow the other leader almost disappeared and reappeared almost 20 yards away clearly retreating.

"This isn't the end Anubis, we will fight again" The Werecat leader yelled.

"Bastet you foolish little kitty, the end result will be the same" Tristan found himself yelling back, he had no idea how he knew the other leaders name, or why she called him Anubis.

Before he could even acknowledge what had happened, he was suddenly in a different place altogether. He yet again found himself in another area with pyramids, but these ones were different, they weren't smooth like the previous ones, and they were surrounded by thick jungle. Just like last time there was a massive battle going on and he was again leading an army of Lycans. This time however they were fighting against what appeared to be humans that were using abilities, the abilities seemed very strange though and they weren't dying from wounds that would kill normal humans. They were also fighting at night which wasn't normal for humans at all. He again found himself fighting the leader of the other army, however this time he was the one getting dominated. This time he had the ability to use lightning and fire and he was a huge statured Lycan, but the man he was fighting was extremely quick and no matter what he did the man would just tank the hit if he couldn't dodge and almost heal instantly. He soon found himself and his army retreating into the forest. As they ran, he heard. "Xolotl you coward run like the dog you are with your tail between your legs" Tristan immediately felt immense anger as he heard this knowing that the taunt was aimed for him. "The Vampires will soon hunt all of your kind and make you extinct." The man Tristan was fighting yelled.

Tristan reeled in shock as he jolted awake. Tristan felt himself shudder, he didn't know why but he was certain that those weren't dreams, which meant that both Werecats and Vampires were real, and not only that both seemed to hate Lycans. Not knowing if all three were still alive Tristan felt immense fear for the first time since becoming a Lycan, the Lycans that he was in the dream were immensely powerful, they wouldn't even need a second to kill both him and Crim but they still had extremely tough fights in the dreams. He thought about what would happen if him and Crim were the only Lycans there were and shuddered at the thought of having to fight the leader of the vampires and how badly he would lose. He felt a strange feeling in his stomach and chest as he thought about a vampire killing Crim, he finally reaching his boiling point. "I need to get much stronger...I finally have a friend that I care about, even if it drives me crazy for power, nobody will hurt my pack!" Tristan thought to himself as he clenched his fangs and padded over towards Crim to check on him and see if it was finally nighttime. Tristan needed to hunt, and he needed to evolve, he knew that the two Lycans he was in his dreams had to be the end of two different evolutions, and he smiled thinking about how eventually he will have elemental powers if he believed his dreams were real.

Crim was sitting in his wolf form and he quickly transformed into his human form as Tristan walked up, they both preferred the wolf forms at this point but found it difficult to carry out long conversations without being in human form.

"Anything going on out there" Tristan asked as he sat next to Crim seeing that the sun was just starting to set.

"All sorts of small animals have been moving around out there, and these animals are definitely not like the ones on earth" Crim replied.

"Yeah, we knew that going in, animals that aren't from earth have crazy evolutions, some even have elemental abilities, we have to be careful and cautious with everything we hunt, most animals here aren't even known about and there will be other strong predators probably even ones that could hurt you, just be very careful while we are out there" Tristan told Crim.

"For sure, I am beginning to actually enjoy life for once, I don't plan on dying...are we splitting up tonight or staying together as we hunt?" Crim asked.

"For tonight I plan on trying to find some predators to try and get some new traits, so it would probably be best if we split for tonight." Tristan said as he transformed his hand and retracted his claws back and forth a couple of times.

Crim smiled and said "I cant wait to see what other things you could end up with...might end up looking like some sort of freak wolf hybrid though, might hurt you chance with female wolves." as he finished saying that he let out a laugh, both boys never seemed to tire of finding ways to tease each other.
