Strixes The Shadow
She whistled low and quiet. As much as she hated to admit it, she was impressed. Her opinion of the lycanwas quickly improving. The pack had split in two and one was assaulting the front.She decided to ignore the smaller pack in favor of the larger, attacking wolves. The evacuation was well underway, so the Shadow had time to play."Where is the other servant?" she asked one of her servants.The White Cloaked Man looked into the crystal ball and frowned. "It's in the far corridor, away from the soldiers. None of them of them have been stupid enough to approach it."Master Shadow nodded. "Good. I would hate for our pet to slaughter it's way through the defenders."She pointedly ignored the soldiers in the room as she spoke."Very well. Then let the wolves come. I'll enjoy playing with them myself.""Alice wants-""I don't care what she wants," the shadow announced. "This is what I want."
Strixes Julius
Julius hated getting calls from Alice. It always ended with him getting a headache. She never called him with good news when he was on assignment and today was no exception.As he knight, he was bound to her more tightly than anyone who wasn't a knight could ever know, but such was his lot."You want me to watch them while the mutts attack? Are they not your agents? Should I help them?""No. You are to watch and report back," her cool voice ordered him.Yep, there was his headache. "That's... Just great." As if he didn't have enough to deal with. "Understood. I'll keep a safe distance."With the titan at his side, that wouldn't present such a problem."All the same we want you to keep a closer eye on her. The agent they're sent is a specialist."Of course they were. "And what does Corai think of this? Corai and the lycans aren't exactly allies.""She's prepared fo go to Sword. If that happens, take care of it."Now he had to work even harder. Corai and him weren't friends, but Corai
Strixes The Guard
The lycans came in fast. Too fast. He wasn't a supernatural monstet like his employers, but he had a frame of reference in the girl he worked for. The monster he saw had glided across the ground like a shadow, barely touching the dirt under her feet. When she moved, she didn't make a sound. Alice was silent. Silent like a ghost. A mad ghost of blood.The Guard was prepared for that. If Alice was a ghost, then the things that came through were banshees. They were not silent monsters of the night. They ripped through the walls, howling like beasts. The she wolf was on him before he could react and then she had a claw through his throat.
Strixes Chaos Part One
When the lycans came through, they swept past the humans like cattle. He was a strigo, so he knew he had better a better chance to defend himself, but watching his colleagues day was disturbing.Especially since they spilled a river of fresh blood. His blood lust was manageable in the face of fear, so it was surprisingly easy to resist.When one of the she wolves came at him, he pulled a knife and slashed. He was faster and stronger than humans, so that gave him an edge.He had never fought a lycan before, so he didn't expect just how fast and strong they were. Or how sharp their teeth were. One sank it's fangs into his arm.
Strixes Watcher
When the Alpha asked her to watch the beta and the hunting group, she thought it was going to be boring.Still, she would have asked for another assignment. Serving his betas was not why she agreed to work directly under him, but she was one of fangs now, and she did not disobey.If the Alpha didn't know she had a talent for stealth and spying, he never would have given the order.Whoever let it slip that she was from a family of performers was on her shit list now.That was before the hunting group ran head first into the vampire liar. She even forgot the leeches had invaded the first den in the excitement. This was going to be fun.
Strixes Chaos Part Two
When one of the lycans came at him, he tried his strength first. He was a strigo and his strength could hardly be compared to a humans, but the half wolve humanoid overpowered him. The she wolf would have taken my throat out if one of the humans tried to gun it down.The wolf jumped off him and slammed into the window, throwing him out on the street.The strigo was already healing from where the claws ranked through his skin. The three wolves ripped through the room and ramped into the hallway behind them.The human dropped the gun and the strigo went to grab it. "The wolves got past us," he said into the radio on his shoulder.
Strixes Interlude: The Prisoner
When they threw her into the cell, Gracie landed on her elbow. There was a crack, followed by a sharp pain, but better landing on her elbow than her head.At first, she was grateful to these people who saved her from the burning sand. They saved her from her long walk and gave her water. That cold water was the best thing she ever tasted.Then they called her a spy and thrown in a cell. She was one, but she had been confident the strixes were none the wiser. It looked like she over estimated her own abilities.The man who threw her in shook her head. "Shouldn't we throw her in one of the reinforced cells? If she can changes...""There's no need to worry about that," a new voice said. A woman walked in, dressed in silk. There wasn't a speck of sand or any stains on his clothes, the opposite of the gangsters that saved her. "Now that her pack is here, I'm sure she should be happy."Gracie shook her head. "Pack?""Yes. The Neptune mutts. Are they not here for you?"In true, her mission h
Strixes Interlude: Chaos Continued
The Guard had just gotten his hands on everything that she promised him... In time for the wolves to come in and rip it all away.The Guard knew his particular tastes were frowned upon, but he didn't give a fuck. He was a member of. the chosen ones. Under Alice's guidance, they were going to over throw the system and bring about a new order.Or so her cult believed. He was no knignt, brain washed into loyalty. He knew the truth and he didn't care. She was offering him something no one else could, so he'd fight for it.And die for it.Buer rubbed his chest, The wolfhad gotten him good the day before. Buer couldn't understand why the wolves cared one way or the other.And right now the wolves were after his chase cow. If any of them died, Alice might not look so favorable on him any longer.

In the fullness of time, we would come to find that the bandits were the foolish ones. No one in their right mind would call that place home.There was something worse than bandits in those mountains and we were front and center to see it.We had just gotten near the bottom of the mountains after a week of walking. All around the mountain was what looked like an African savanna. There was one long dirt road that ran straight through the tall grass and scattered trees. I imagined a lion laying in wait for us in that tall grass. Yep, we would be taking the dirt path.Euphy was groaning about lunch, and Gwen was all smiles."How about we make camp here? We can cook those rabbits."I'm glad we had Gwen with us. She wasn't just a top-class magician, she could create magic traps. Traps designed for catching something to eat.I looked at the sky. The sun was still high. "I think we should keep moving. We want to find civilization, don't we.""We already have," Euphy reminded me."Civilization

The Girl with Auburn HairIn the early morning light, the valley was beautiful. As the sun got higher in the sky, mist rose from the trees and covered the mountains. It wasn't the color-changing fog of Attea's creation, but a common, white mist. As the sun climber further into the sky, the mist burned away. The lake shimmered in the sunlight as a breeze gently rocked through the valley.There was something ethereal about this place. It felt out of an anime or fantasy book, untouched by human hands. I lived my whole life in San Francisco. When I was younger, my parents took me to see the Redwoods, but that was the only time I left the city. It was a very long time ago. To me, the world had become a concrete jungle.Wind Port was a lot better to look at, but it was still a city. Where ever we were, there wasn't a single sign of civilization. And it was beautiful. This place looked like it was out of a dream.I couldn't get the boar out of my head. Through the night, it haunted me. A dum

Knight Three
When the wolves began to surround her, the Knight expected attack. Instead the wolves turned tail and sprinted up the stairs.In the direction of one of the evacuations. The Knight had started to regard the wolves as young. Gifted, talented, but young. Head strong. Not the kind of beasts that she would have to worry about being clever. At least, not yet. The Knight didn't have any intention of letting them live that long.She underestimated them. She she flew up the stairs after them, desperate to make sure the evacuation wasn't interrupted.The wolve nearest her, the male, turned on her like a dime. He jumped off the wall and tackled her, it's mouth ripping into her shoulder.He tour a chunk out of her skin.

Knight 2
The Knight was starting to feel a little bad about it. It was like taking candy fro. a baby. These wolves were the babies and she was the mean and she was the frightening old hag in this children's story. It wasn't that the wolves were bad. In fact, for being so young (and they were young, if their scents told her anything), they fought extremely well. They had trained to fight as a pack anf there was nothing to critique.It was just a shame they ran into her, a monster so old. One who had feed on so much blood it might as well fill an ocean.Still, she wouldn't underestimate them. As the three wolves positioned themselves around her, she prepared to end their lives.

Knight
Her office was in ruins and now she was pissed. She shouldn't be. She would have to abandon the office regardless, because the wolves decided to come.It all looped back again to the wolves. The Knight was going to have to destroy her office before Sword got here, so she was going to take her agression out on the mutts that caused all of this.The two wolves divided, coming at her from different sides. The Knight kept her eyes on the female, listening intently to the male behind her.When he moved, she heard it and he jumped over the charging beast.The Knight raked her claws across its back, drawing blood.

The Knight
The office was a clean and polished white. It looked even more professional than than the government offices she used to work in. From the office, you had a great view of the arra called the quad. There was a creepy bronze statue of Nathaniel Gilbert, the founder of the city. The Gilbert family were apparently rich as all hell and still contributed so much to the school. And now her office was in pieces. Granted, she was the one who propelled the wolf through, but she wasn't about to admit that.At least she heard a resounding CRACK!The other two hesitated. "Well? Come at me, mutts."

Bianca Continued
When she saw the woman on the stairs, Bianca growled. The scene of the dead radiated off of her. Not the blood of her victims, no. The deep, decaying scent of death that a rotting body produces.There were only two thinga that made that scent: the aforementioned rotting bodies and the strix.Not a strigo ot a striges, but a true creature of the night. Either a knight or a progenitor. The woman smirked as her fingernails extended into claws. She leaped down the stairs and attacked them head on, despite being out numbered.Bianca barked, the sign to scatter, but it was too late. The strix jump tackled her.

The Commander
"Where are the wolves?" she asked."They have entered the tunnels, commander," one of her officers replied."When will they breach the lower levels?""Less than five minutes.""Very well. It's been a long time since I've skinned a mutt. Maybe I'll make a pelt. Continue the evacuation. I want everything out by lunch time.""You think the mutts will make it down here?""I'm not worried about the animals, but Sword is coming. For us and the mutts. This facility is compromised. We're leaving.""Understood, commander.""Alert security. I don't want any of them up there with us. Have them on guard while we evacuate."

Chaos Finale
It came to an end when The Guard was cornered by one of the wolf mutts. In that moment, he thought his life was over.He had chased the female to one of the old board rooms the humans used. The room was small and he was sure it would restrict her movements. With his strength and the pistol, he'd be able to overpower her.That was his original plan. And it semed to work, for a second. He ran straight in after the female bitch in the leg.The only problem was how close to the door she was. She rammed him through the room. She sank her teeth in his skin and ripped off his arm. She would have taken his head off if he hadn't fallen through a window.
