Chapter 27

The room was pitched black only the scraping of metal against a stony surface could be heard.

Opening the door slightly letting in some light, a human figure could be seen tied to a pole. His voice broke out as a muffled cry and his eyes were tied shut.

"Tell me where is the wolf? Another voice asked again coming from the direction of the scraping iron faint sparks giving off.

"I don't know, i really do not know, all i remember is i was in the forest when some horrifying beast came out from nowhere and attacked me. Please, you got to believe me please", the tied man said in one breath.

"I do believe you", the other voice answered walking slowly past the dim source of light revealing a dark shade of purple hair.

"But you see, that's just the thing", he continued slowly.

"That means you are not longer useful to me, so I'll just have to dispose of you", he finished rubbing his fingers slowly on the tip of the knife.

Frightened, the figure began to squirm his body vibrating.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, i will look better, I.....

"Lame", the purple haired man said giving a yawn standing up to dispose of him.

"Fighting tournament", the figure screamed choking back at its own Saliva.

"I'm listening", the other said seating back down.

"Werewolves like to prove their strength", he started a little more composed.

"There's a fighting tournament of the very best in Listonne , if his going to be any where, he's going to be there and he was last seen heading in that direction", he finished in one breath.

"Good job", the purple man said rubbing the other on the head.

"I knew you had more in you", he said smiling.

"Though your not the wolf I need, you are still wolf and unfortunately.....i never like your kind, way too hairy...", he finished.

It happened in a flash, a stud could be heard and a body fell to the floor cold. His brown hair could be seen along with a black vest and red trims on the edges.

Turning him over, the name Oliver could be seen embroided on the top right hand side.

"What a waste", he added wiping his hands signalling for a young girl to come over.

"Get ready, we are heading to Listonne"

"Watch out!!!

Ian turned sharply slightly angry himself for not paying attention.

Turning the rager lunged at him preparing to strike . Adjusting his position as quickly as possible, he shifted his weight trying counter its attack before it can do any damage.

Confusion stuck on his face the next second as he could see the head of the rager rolling on the ground black blood oozing from its neck freshly cut, its eyes showing signs of disbelief till it faded away.

Its body was still stuck in a grabbing motion but fell to the ground in a thud after some time.

"You guys did a good job here, well done", Roshan said walking in with Zimri , the baker and Nick who looked frightened at the sight of all the dead figures.

"Though never let one rager survive, pests..." He said slightly annoyed making Ian understand the cause of the ragers impromptu death .

"I think we all have had enough for one day, rest up, we head out tomorrow.

"Where to?" Kael said coming back from the northern side of the reserve together with Dorrien overhearing the last part.

"Now that will spoil the fun, won't it?"Roshan said smiling.

"Lets go", Zimri said motioning everyone along.

"Dorrien, wait !! Roshan said holding onto Dorrien slightly at the wrist.

"So tell me what exactly did you see"
