We broke off into our respective groups, we were using different sections of the tunnels to our advantage, like Amari said, we already decided our teams this afternoon, it was short notice but okay, everyone knew everyone's strength and weaknesses in the secret city, one advantage of living in a small space was everyone felt like family.... in a sense.
I glance back to see Maxie at my back, his silver white fur was hard to miss, even in the darkness, I look further back and see Sandor the silent, Darion's second, his reddish brown fur glimmered with murderous intent, I'm glad he was looking forward to this! I've seen the wonders this man can do when tracking his prey, imagine what beautiful carnage will envelope, once we bath in the glory of the moonlight, I shuddered, I'm actually pitying the humans now.
Finally my eyes rest on the most important person in my opinion, Felicia.... in a perfect world, Me, Amari and Felicia would be running the pack, with our collective effort, leading our people to a brighter tomorrow, so what you will about my personality, no one has ever denied my ideas being the reason we made it through 5 winters, if the highborns weren't such sticklers for tradition, I'd be Amari's Second by now! Amari being the stubborn brute she is, wouldn't have anyone else, other than me, she's the first Alpha in recent memory to not have a second..... as flattered as I am I wish she chose Felicia instead.
The girl though being the youngest of the 3 of us, is undeniably the most talented, her ability to manipulate the moonlight is gonna be detrimental to our infiltration plan, added with her level headed nature, I have confidence that if things go awry, I have someone I believe can step up and wrangle our forces, it also helps she's quite popular with the shadow stalkers, sneaking pass the watchful eyes of the guardsmen will be a-
"Ah, we're already here, Felicia! what do you see?" I asked, "Hmmmm, there seems to be a few humans just up ahead," she responded, "How many?" "7, they seem to have shite gear though, probably Bandits.... do you want us to avoid them?" "..... no let's kill the bastards," at my command, four of our kin leap up through the tunnel, startled shrieks could be heard before they devolved to cries and pain, then dying screams.... good, they handled things efficiently.
"Anything else?" "No..... nothing else," she muttered, "Good!" I said.
The rest of our group made our way up, we met with the initial four that took care of the humans, some were devouring their game, there and then, Felicia tried to reprimand them but I waved her off, "Let them enjoy themselves, whole focus on more important things" I said, she nodded her head, I perked up my ears to listen in on the environment.... it's seems no one else is here, just to be safe I asked Felicia and Sandor since they had the best senses amongst us, they reassured me and I took a sigh of relief.
I marched to the edge of the cliff, we were overlooking the city of Bluehaven now..... just a few jogs away..... "Felicia..... do it now!" I commanded, she nodded, her and the other shadow stalkers cloaked us in a stream of moonlight, the light encompassed us, hugged us, it felt refreshing honestly, when theybwerw done, we didn't look any different but.....
I lept from the edge of the hill, when I landed, I broke off running, the others followed suit, we were a few paces away from main gate into Bluehaven..... we stopped and simply strolled forward..... the Guards didn't seem to notice us..... to test our concealment, I stroll next to a hound nearby, it doesn't see me either..... it sniffs the air but doesn't seem to have get a hold if my scent.
I smiled confidently at this and March towards the main gate, I wait for the guards to allow an incoming carriage through before entering the city with some of my men, rinse and repeat and all 150 of us are in the city! we continue to stroll, breaking off into smaller groups heading to the other gates..... it was difficult navigating this vile place, the paths were large but too similar and confusing, we got lost several times and nearly bumped into several scummy humans but we made it somehow. We found an important looking man and followed him, maybe he'd lead us to our destination as luck had it he did.
My group finally made it to our destination, it was supposed to be the castle of the lord of this city, it was..... something I'll say, so intricate and beautiful.... it was shame what was gonna happen to it next. My group of 20 stormed the lord's castle, no one seemed to notice a thing somehow we made it through the near endless corridor and into their dining area..... it seems they were having supper.... they looked so happy and innocent, the red haired kids playing with their food, the pot bellied lord doting on his tiny wife....
"Let's do it...." I muttered before lunging at them! I slashed my Claws at the lord first, confused looks filled the room as he dropped to the floor.... I slashed at the lady wife next! screams could be heard now, I slashed at the kids next..... I felt bad about that one but I couldn't stop now....
Some guards came at where I was standing, my team slashed at them, I slashed at them, slash, slash, SLASH! we turned the entire room into a bloody painting before giving respite.....
"...Do you know where it is?" I asked Felicia, she cast a spell, a small blue light cane out of her hand and lead us to a vault of sorts, "..." We destroyed the door and I had The spell casters of my group destroy any wards protecting its contents.....
I see our desired object, a golden stone jewel..... this is supposed to be this city's last defense against us Werewolves should we storm the city, the legends say once held by ruling lord of this city, they could create a miniature sun to counter our blessings from the moon.....
"..." I slash at the stone, shattering it to a thousand pieces, my team howls in victory, "The siege can now begin" I muttered.
