Jasper had trekked the two miles down the mountainside into the small town. He had ventured into the only small café in this quint town. Jasper was standing before a notice board with flyers of all kinds all over it. He was most interested in the help wanted section. There were various job postings and one-time gigs. Jasper needed to make some quick cash so that he could sustain himself for the next ten days. Not to mention travelling around in search of a way out of his own personal hell. There was an add for a gladiators contest. They were searching for men and woman to compete. He memorized the address and left the café.
Over the years Jasper had become a rather masterful fighter. He was well versed in all types of combat technics from street fighting to martial arts, and all others in between. Jasper may not be able to remember each fighting style from memory, but his body could. It reacted accordingly with whomever Jasper was fighting at the time, without him having to think about it first.
Jasper reached his destination, and he entered the massive building. To Jasper it looked like it use to be a large theater hall. Its seats and stage gutted and removed long ago. In their place stood roughly ten fighting rings. The red paint on the walls was flaking on parts and completing missing in others. Large colorful banners of purples, oranges, reds, and blues, hung from the ceiling depicting images of their all-time top fighters. Every twenty feet or so stood giant marble sculptures of animals each holding a different type of weapon. The large pillars around the room had ancient carvings, their meanings long forgotten.
While Jasper observed the large hall, he was interrupted by a shrill voice. “Hey you! Yeah you. This is an arena for fighters if you aren’t one than beat it!” Jasper smirked at the rat looking man in front of him. “I came here to sign up for the gladiator fights this evening.” The man looked Japer up and down. “Names Bud. I don’t normally let newcomers join in the fights, but I am down one contestant at the present time. Tell you what, you beat one of my men in a short sparring session and you can fill the last gladiator spot in the contest. What do you say?”
Jasper humbly agreed. What choice did he have. Time was already running out and he needed to track down those werewolf packs. Assuming they still exist. The old book he found in the cave had to be three hundred years old at least. He followed Bud to the other end of the large theater hall. There was a man who was tall and muscular who was built like an ox. He had to weigh no less than three hundred and fifty pounds. “Skull, I need you to battle this man. When I ring the bell, you fight. If you are still standing after three minutes in the ring with Skull, I will consider that a win and you will have your spot. Ready yourselves!”
Jasper climbed into the ring with Skull and they each stood on opposite sides. Bud yelled “FIGHT” then he rang the bell. Skull started circling Jasper looking for some type of opening. Jasper just stood there with his eyes closed. Skull took a chance and started dashing for his opponent. As he reached Jasper and was about to throw a punch, he got the wind knocked out of him. Then something slammed into his face. One second Skull was standing up right, and the next he was unconscious on the ground. No more than ten seconds had passed, and the match was over.
Bud stared at Jasper, his mouth agape. He got ahold of himself and said in amazement, “Never in my thirty years of handling fights have I ever seen something so extraordinary. You not only knocked him out in record time, but you did it all with your eyes closed. You got the slot kid. What is your name?” Jasper gave bud his name and thanked him for the compliment. He knew he was a great fighter, but this was more than he ever could dream of. The wolf inside him was precise and swift. He felt as though he had always been destined to be a werewolf. Unlike the other creatures he has been this is the only one that has ever felt natural to him. Jasper knew that he would win tonight without a doubt and he smiled from the thrill of it.

Later that eveningJasper was sitting with all the other contestants for the fights. Bud was going over who would be fighting who in the first matches. It was a pyramid win system. If you won in the first round you moved on to the second. There were six matches in round one, three matches in round two, then two matches in round three. Once it was done to one winner, they then had to go against the top champion from the previous competition. Most of the gladiators here today were seasoned and excellent fighters. Jasper however knew in his heart he could beat them all.The only thing he was worried about was it getting closer to dark. He needed to be away from here before the pitch-black darkness of night set in. He did not know if there was a way to stop his transformation into a werewolf and the last thing, he needed was a bunch a people trying to kill him before he made any progress with his quest. Jasper has been killed by man before many times, and usually he just sees it as part o

Jasper stared piercingly at the man before him. He was trying to process what Sabastian had said to him. How could he be his father. It was so improbable and yet Jasper believed what he said. And apparently, he had a mate as well. “Please forgive me, but did you say that I am your son?” Sabastian looked at Jasper with pride in his eyes. “Yes. I am not sure why you do not remember me, but I promise you once you come back and see the pack you will remember.”Jasper went willingly with Sabastian to his wolf packs den. It was about ten miles up the mountainside. As soon as the two of them were through the trees and out of sight of prying eyes Sabastian changed into his wolf form. He looked at Jasper expectingly. He did not know how to change on cue, at least he thought. He closed his eyes and imagined himself transforming and just like that his body changed with little effort.The two of them started running up the mountainside with Sabastian taking the lead. Jasper was deep in thought ab

Jasper stood in the shadows of the trees observing the man before him. The strange symbol grew brighter before burning out completely. A few moments later the mountain wall began to shift ever so slightly. You would miss it if you were not looking directly at it. It made no sound, but it let off a kind of shimmer.The man took a few steps backwards as the wall began opening revealing a doorway in its place. The man entered as the opening started to close behind him. Jasper took off running as fast as his legs would carry him, yet it was no use. The mountain wall had sealed up back to its original form.Frustrated Jasper howled deep and loud, alerting the others in the pack to his distress. He had to calm himself down. He closed his eyes tightly and swiftly changed forms. He wondered to himself if all werewolves could change on demand and with such ease like his pack could. Or maybe it was just him. He pushed the thought away, a question for a different day.A few moments later Sabasti

Jasper’s teeth hit their target dead on. The other wolf began to yip in forfeit. Jasper let him go and waited for him to change. Once he did, Jasper followed suit. “You are far more stronger than I remember! Let us talk and bury the hatchet.” This wolf knew he was no match for Jasper. So, the only thing he could do was bide his time and pretend to forgive. “Like I was saying I know not who you are, so I do not know of my wrong doings please enlighten me.” Jasper said innocently.“The name is Thane. A few centuries ago, you were the cause of my father’s death. I have never been able to forgive you for that. You told him that you wanted to meet to talk about our packs becoming one, but when he arrived at the place you were supposed to meet him a group of men attacked him. At the time he was in his wolf form and the members of our pack heard his cries of pain. We rushed to his location, but it was too late. That was also the last day anyone ever saw you again.”Jasper was dumbfounded. He

Before the she wolf could attack Jasper Thane jumped and changed form in midair. He clenched his teeth into her hind leg causing her to fall flat on the ground. She yipped out in pain. Thane began growling, he was having a conversation with her that none of them could hear. A few moments later they both changed shape.“Please excuse my sister Andrea. Like me she wants nothing more than to avenge our father’s death. She did not know that we have called a truce.” Jasper waved his hand. “No blood no foul. Let us get on with the ritual and put this unnecessary violence behind us.”The ritual consisted of three parts. First, they had to say an oath. Then they sealed their bond in blood. Lastly, they run as a pack. It was all rather simple, but these rituals were not just mere words. It was a magic that a shaman passed on to them long ago. If any member of either pack broke this bond in anyway, they would be met with instant death. If any of them had ill intentions against another they woul

The man stared at Jasper with his mouth agape. “How did you know the name of the order!” His skin started to glow, and Jasper took a step back. This man before him was suspicious of him now and had some murderous intentions at that moment. Thane put his hands in the air and said, “Woah calm down Burne. The Storm Rose pack is our pack. Let him explain how he knows of them before you go jumping to conclusions.” The aura around Burne dissipated and he said, “Yes Alfa. Please forgive me for not trusting you. Tell us how you know of their existence.”Even though he knew they were going to think he was insane he told them about the two men who came out of the mountain side. Thane surprised him by saying, “I believe what you are saying for I too have seen this strange magic before. It was roughly a century ago. I was taking out the cubs of the pack for their first transformation. When I caught a glimpse of a strange man in a robe. I saw the mountain open up and he disappeared into it. After

The three of them followed the man into a large tent. Inside was nothing but a few chairs, a table, and what looked like an alchemy set. “Sit down at the table over there. By the way my name is Tomas, please tell me what do they call you. I am sure you do not wish for me to continue to call you shapeshifter.” Tomas said with certainty.“I am Jasper. Tell me Tomas, are you some type of scientist?” Tomas smiled slightly at him. “In a way you could say that I am. I am what most people would call a wizard if they believed such a thing existed. I am somewhat the shaman to the good people of this village. They know not about magic. They believe my healing and predictions come from the concoctions I make them, but in truth it is a type of earth magic. Now please lay your left arm across the table, and I will help you activate the sigil.Thane and Jasper were mystified. A sigil! Does that mean there was more to this symbol than meets the eye? A sigil was like a teleporter that could send you

Jasper struggled against the hand-woven net with everything he had. He tried biting and clawing his way through the intricate ropes without any success. Four men in Dark blue robes surrounded him. Each one had a different celestial marking on the torso area of their robes. By the looks of them they were from the very order he was seeking to find.“Do not resist Mr. Monroe we mean you no harm. We are here to warn you about the man Tomas that you sought help from. He is not who you think he is. If you return with the ingredients he asked for, he will betray you, and possibly kill you and anyone with you. He has been trying for ages to find a way to the orders sacred meeting place. He seeks our knowledge so he can use it to rule over the entire populus. Heed our warning. The answers you so desperately seek will come to you in due time. Please have patience. The decision is yours to believe us or to believe Tomas.”As quickly as they arrived, they were gone in a flash. The rope entrapping

Jasper was not sure if the hunter named Hank would try and kill him here and now and he was starting to feel uncomfortable by the way the man was starring daggers at him. Lemont cleared his throat and said, “Calm down brother. The bloodsucker did not say we had to agree to it, it was just a request, and as far as I am concerned it is such a small thing and we should be able to agree. Now tell me, Jasper was it, tell me what makes you want to spare this child-d-d?” Jasper picked up on how hard it was for him to call the vampire a child. It seemed to him Lemont was willing enough to give into Jasper’s request and he figured he may as well tell them the whole truth about the child. Jasper took the next few moments explaining about her special gift. The three brothers all had different expressions on their face when Jasper was through. Lemont looked intrigued, Hank looked mortified, and Paul looked amused. Jasper had to suppress a laugh because looking at the three of them reminded him of

What was going on here? Jasper was more confused than ever. Did Alec know Sylvia personally? And if he did does that mean Sylvia knew more about his past than she seemed to let on. Jasper spent the day studying the markings on the wall until he could see the images burned into his corneas when he closed his eye lids. He was impatient for Alec’s return so he could ask him how much about his mate he knew.Day sixOnce the sun disappeared for the night Jasper walked out of his cave and took a look around, annoyed that Alec had not shown up this evening. Not wanting to waste more time thinking about what he couldn’t control Jasper took his leave and headed for the hunter’s house. He hoped that they had not changed their minds and that they were still willing to help him. He planned on trying to talk them out of harming the vampire child, but he was not sure if that will go over well. He had to try though he knew he would never forgive himself if he didn’t after that it was out of his hand

Jasper stood there wondering to himself if he should kill them all and shook the thought out of his head. He had an idea which could turn into him dying himself, but he figured his business here was done anyway so if he died prematurely oh well. He approached the man standing on the porch. You could see it in the man’s eyes he knew Jasper was a vampire, before the man could do anything about it Jasper raised his hands in front of him.Jasper gave the man a small smile and said, “I know all you want to do right now is grab your crossbow and destroy me, but I have a proposition for you. There is a whole coven of vampires you have been after to ages and I can help you take them out if you wish. Afterwards I will leave it up to you if you want to kill me or let me go, so what do you say?”The hunter in front of him started laughing hard before saying, “This is rich hahaha. Imagine a stinking blood sucker is offering his help to me. Paul get out here you are not going to believe this shit!

Jasper braced himself for the onslaught of the clan’s attack. He knew he was much faster than them and he was stronger. Deep within him was the power of the wolf that no matter what shape or form he was in would always give him an advantage. He always knew he was better than the others of his kind no matter what creature he turned into, and he now realized it was because of his family’s blood. He promised himself he would try to not kill them, only incapacitate them.The leader of the clan who spoke to Jasper before was the first to attack. Jasper braced himself and just as the other vampire reached him, he pushed his hands out in front of him and sent the man flying into a nearby tree. You could here the tree tremble with the impact of the vampires body along with snapping of at least three of his bones. The vampires healed relatively quickly so Jasper would have to work fast if he could escape before they regained their strength.Jasper decided that his best strategy would be to run

Jasper let out a huge puff of air. He was expecting this. He knew once the drake Marcel destroyed Ezmerelda that her clan would come for his blood. He knew he could not lie to them because of the exceptional gift the vampire child had. He went to go confront them when Alec grabbed him by the shoulder gesturing with his index finger for him to wait one minute. “Jasper I am worried that if you go out there you will die. Yes, I know you will come back as something else, and I also know I will not be able to talk you out of it. You have always been a man of honor and I know you will make sure they know why the vampire named Ezmerelda will never return to them. I want to help you handle them however I am not like you if I die, I will be gone for good. Tell me what you want me to do here. Whatever your choice is I will honor it.” Alec said with complete devotion. Jasper shook his head and said, “Alec this is not your fight. I would prefer if you left, I do not want you to wind up dead esp

Jasper’s smile spread with every new memory that flooded back in. He was pleased to find that most of these memories were of his father and Sylvia. He also found that Alec had not lied to him he was indeed a very close friend. He was getting flashes of caves and members of the order of the supernatural, but he couldn’t hold on to them. They were just quick flashes after memories of Alec ran their course.He was surprised by how many memories there were of Alec. He guessed that they had know each other for a very long time. he began to wonder what exactly Alec was because no normal human could live as long as him and from his memories, he knew him back when he was still with his pack. Jasper was ecstatic by having some of who he was back but there was not enough to give him a full story. He found himself more frustrated than satisfied.Jasper opened his eyes once he was sure that he was not going to get anymore memories. The Oracle smiled at him and said, “Well child how do you feel?”

Ezmerelda, startled, turned around slowly and cautious to find out what made the horrendous noise. As she laid er eyes on the humongous drake every inch of her body was paralyzed with pure terror. It took her a minute before she forced out, “By the Gods! What type of demon is this?” She was terrified and she had no idea what would cause this monster to have a such a problem with her.“Quite your tongue you foul dead creature. Jasper Monroe is now and will always be under my protection. What tries to harm him is just as if they mean harm to me. You have broken a sacred law and messed with the will of a precious soul. For that your punishment is death!” Not giving Ezmerelda a second to respond the drake rose into the air and blew out a waterfall of flames from his mouth onto her incinerating her instantly wiping her existence from this world.Jasper stared in wonder. “I see you were not kidding when you said you would know when trouble found me. I am deeply thankful for your rescue. I a

Jasper wasted no time heading back to Ezmerelda. He bid farewell to the drake and ran until he was almost back to the entrance of the enchanted forest. As promised Ezmerelda was there waiting for him however the vampire child was not in sight. Jasper wondered if she was still here possibly hiding in the shadows to watch what Jasper does so, she can report any false hoods to Ezmerelda. “Where is the child?” Jasper asked curiously. Ezmerelda smiled and said, “I sent her home. I saw no reason for her to stick around and wait with me I prefer to be alone sometimes. So, were you successful in retrieving what I asked you to acquire?”Jasper pulled the artifact out of his pocket and showed it to her. “An even trade? I will hand you this at the same time you hand me the sapphire agreed?” Ezmerelda nodded and than she too pulled the gem from her pocket. They approached each other than exchanged their items. Ezmerelda smiled triumphantly. “Go ahead and take the old lady her gem I will wait for
