Chapter 3 - Vehemence
Chapter 3 - Aduren 1 In the days before I began my travels, I would often find myself gritting my teeth against torn and bloody hands - ripped apart by the rough hilt of a training blade. I would grimace and hold my tongue, swearing to Cog that one day the blood staining my clothes would not be mine, but that of my enemies. Today I can’t tell. The vibrant green leaves strewn about the forest floor are splashed with red, especially the stretch between myself and my enemy. Today the almighty Selune has tested my strength against the great Tapire that lies wheezing not three meters away. It’s head rests atop a gnarled root. The same one that nearly cost me my life minutes earlier. It will not look at me as it dies, but still I glare into its eyes. Daring it to challenge me further. I shudder with excitement when it does not.

Revenge
I was a killer, I would kill again if I was ordered to. The feeling was outstanding, my hands and feet tingled the moment their heads come off. But why do I feel terrible? I don't think I have ever felt guilt before, it really is an odd feeling. When I was younger my father told me that having feelings were irrelevant for werewolf's like us. No one in the town trusted us, and the humans would rather see us burn then give us the rights we deserve. After all we did not choose this life, nor did our ancestors. For a matter of fact, I don't think anyone knows why we are the way we are. My father used to tell me stories of the older wolfs, or lycanthropy if you prefer the traditional name. He said "Our ancestors used to only turn on the full moon" I remember thinking how lucky they were, it would be so easy to hide myself if that was the case. But over time I guess we got more angry at the humans, and now we turn whenever our blood starts to boil. As I got older I became the trouble to my father. I got into fights all the time, even punched a teacher of mine at one point, And that was only when I was in grade school. Going into high school was hard, at the beginning I was okay but teenagers annoy me, and I felt like I was much older then the rest. Sometimes my father was right when he told me I was just like him, But I have been around a lot of monsters, he is no different then the last. I don't know if I would consider myself a monster, not after my last kill. It was the guilt that changed myself, I used to wake up wanting it but now I feel like I'd rather die then hunt another down again.

3. Battle of the Bloodline
The rest of supper and dessert was practically quiet, then I returned to my room. Sitting on my bed lay a silk pink nightgown. It was cold and slippery to the touch. I searched the room for a bathroom or something with some privacy in case the witch maid came back. In the corner there was a tri-fold stand with thin parchment paper type material resembling Chinese rice paper. It stood about 6 feet tall and about 8 feet wide. I quickly grabbed the dress and ran on my tiptoes behind it. I don’t know why I ran like that, it’s not like I’m trying to sneak downstairs for a midnight snack after mom told me not to. I let my hair down from the braid Logan had so finely done to it. The wavy locks fell down the back of my neck. My body felt as if it sighed of great relief when the silkiness of the nightgown loosely hung on it. Behind the changing wall sat a bowl with warm water. The steam curled and wisped away as it rose, and the warmth felt good on my cold cheeks as I washed the sweat off. I rang out the towel and placed it on the table next to the bowl of water which was cold now, but not because it sat there too long, but there was a cold breeze which flew through the room. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of sudden insecurity, as if someone was watching or listening. However, no one was there. I tiptoed back into the bed and there was a note lying neatly on my pillow. The paper, an ivory shade of white, had wrinkles on every inch of it as though it was crumpled up to never be used again.

The Murder of the Unexpected Unicorn
In the middle of the sidewalk were shards of painted porcelain that had once been a unicorn. I only knew this because the horn was still intact and teetering on the edge of the gutter. Also, I had memorized the patterns of almost every unicorn in Moth's shop. This unicorn was one of the prettier ones. The hooves had been painted a delicate silver. The mane was white and tinged with the same silver. And there were dark purple ribbons in the mane that streamed out from it's head. It was positioned like it was galloping across some untold fairy land where unicorns still lived in peace. This one was third from the right. Meaning it was third that Moth had ever bought.

The black beach
The Beach The sky was covered by heavy black and grey clouds. Every now and then a bright ray of sunshine came into view shining over the coast and sand. Ottie and I were wondering which rest stop He was going to take as we watched the waves curl over the rocks and sand. We finally find a pull off which was not a rest stop but was good for me and Ottie since we both didn’t need toilet paper. I grab the collar and leash and get Ottie ready for any other person on the beach. There was never any but I always was prepared. Fred tells me he has a surprise for me in the trunk. He tells me to meet him on the beach and he will show me there, so me and Ottie start are winding walk through the black sand. I still am too young to understand why the sand is black, Fred tells me the powers before us had made mistakes that turned the sand black and the sky almost forever grey.

The Colosseum
The halls echoed with his footsteps as he made his way down the dark hallway. The stone walls glowed and pulsed ruby with every step he took. As he neared the end of the corridor, he approached a large white marble door. Carved into the marble were pictures of a beautiful woman bathed in bright white light, she stood before a kneeling crowd. There was a man standing behind her cloaked in darkness and shadows. The man pauses running his hands over the carvings.
