A Troubled Gary

When the group returned to the van, Xin and Gary wearily climbed into their seats. Everyone else was still buzzing from the experience, they were still processing what they’d just seen with their own eyes.

“Gary, man, you should’ve seen yourself!” Innu said, practically bouncing with excitement. “At first, I couldn’t even seeyou clearly, there was this whole swirling darkness around you. But when you started moving? Man, it was insane! You’ve got so many cool powers compared to the rest of us.”

“Well, he is the head of the pack for a reason,” Marie added with a small smile. “Still… Gary’s form was wild, but I think Xin’s transformation was really beautiful. Honestly, I thought werewolves were supposed to be scary monsters.”

She turned to Xin. “But you looked like a divine warrior, summoned straight from the moon or something. It was… really cool.”

Xin smiled warmly at the compliment.

“Thank you.”
