Warrior (Shewolf)
Chapter 33: The Rogue

Allana looked at them with horror. They were so numerous and surrounded the temple that it should not have been seen.

"What's this about? why are they here?"

"I don't know Luis. I'll find out." Harold stepped forward but Luis quickly stopped him

"What are you doing? What if they do something that harms you? Better not Harold. Too dangerous."

"Luis's right. They're Rogue anyway. They can't be trusted."

"But we have to find out what's going on." said Harold. Harold stepped slowly over the boundary of the temple territory. "Seeing you gather here and surround the temple, I assume you have something important?"

Silence, no one answered. They were waiting for something, but who.

"Hey! Speak on. If you have any interest here, you better talk." I saw Luis standing in line with Harold.

Before long some Rogue moved. They opened the line and made a path. One wolf stepped slowly. The wolf was a dense gray hair and was of proportional stature, very beautiful. It is not seen if the wolf is one of the Rogue. Not even Allana believed it was Rogue. The wolf looked very well-preserved and far from the traits people talked about Rogue. Before long the wolf turned into a human who looked very... A handsome? Gee whiz... Is he really rogue? I'm sure they're wrong. Yeah, so wrong, inner Allana. Especially when the man smiled beautifully. Allana can't believe they're Rogue. Allana switched on her body full of tattoos. All his body is full of tattoos. Surprisingly Allana's eyes could not switch from that tattoo. Like there's an interest in that tattoo. Bizarrely.

"Grigory."

"Old Harold's. Getting older."

"I don't have a problem with you, you better go."

"And you don't turn old Harold, always suspicious and in a hurry."

"We have no business with you. So you better go."

"You sure? After some of your men got hurt? Are you scared?"

"We temple warriors have never been afraid of you, of all of you."

"Well, well. just as arrogant as ever."

"Tell me what you want Grigory. Then go."

"Hmmm... I'd love to but it looks like it's taking a little longer to go."

Harold frowned. "I'm not-"

"Understand what I mean? All right, I'll tell you what I want. That water, I want it."

"Water?"

"You know what I mean."

"And you know that's impossible. No one can get it."

"Oh don't think me stupid, old Harold. You think you can fool me? You warriors can use it while you forbid us to use it?"

"Although we want to, but we can't use it as we please."

"Despite your members dying soon?"

"What have you done, Grigory? You know we have nothing to do with you and your Rouge. We didn't interfere in the affairs outside the temple even though we knew it."

"Yeah but unfortunately we need that water."

"By injuring my army?"

"At least we have the antidote."

"Suck!" swear Luis.

"Calm down. We can't give you that water."

"You sure? The antidote was exchanged for that water. Fair exchange I think. You have nothing to lose anyway if we ask for a little of that water."

"No, sorry but we can't give you that water." Harold insists.

"Harold." Kevin walked up to Harold. "Tristana... She-"

"Tell Harry to do what he can for Tristan."

"Don't be stubborn Harold. We make an easy choice."

"Sorry but there's no choice here." Harold walked inside the temple. Kevin let out a rough sigh and entered the temple area.

"I'll still be here. Maybe if you change your mind!!!" peekik Grigory then smiled with satisfaction.

"Harold, can't you change your mind? Tristan-"

"Tristan will be fine. They'll be there any minute." Harold went to see Tristan. Luis walks after Harold but Allana stops him.

"What water did they ask for? What's the matter exactly?"

"Water from a spring from here. Come with me."

Luis walked to somewhere behind the waterfall. They're up the hill. Just behind the waterfall is a medium-sized pond. There was nothing wrong with the pool.

"That's. It was once a spring."

"Have you?"

"Yes. Now it's just a pond."

Suddenly the color of the pool changed.

"Water... Colored..."

"Rainbow. Right."." Right."

"How can you?"

"Magic of course."

"Magic?"

"I heard that the first chosen ones tied their magic to this pool."

"Not chosen." Everyone look over. Howard was there. "The chosen ones have not yet been formed. They're just a bunch of people. The most powerful witch in the world. They take an oath of allegiance and wherever they go or part, they will return. This pool will unite them. That this pool is their focus."

"So... This doesn't belong to the chosen one?"

"Of the chosen ones, of course. The strongest magicians were the ancestors of the chosen ones. They passed down their magic to their descendants.Ten years after they took the oath here, their descendants announced that they were called as the chosen one."

"Then the wolves..."

"Allana Rogue. They're Rogue." Luis corrects.

"They're wolves too."

"But they are wild. I hate them. The more."

"They asked for this water?"

"really. This water has a very powerful magic. The one who drank it would heal any wounds on his body and would get stronger. This water cannot be given to anyone. There will be consequences and not many will survive while drinking this water. Many of them even died while drinking it. Although this water has many and great functions, it still has strong magic. Not many could withstand such powerful magic."

"So you didn't give them this water?"

"No, I really don't care if they die after they drink this water. It's just that if they succeed, then they will do more destruction, than they already do."

"We have not been here for a long time and have never drank this water. If we are wounded we will heal ourselves by way of werewolves and be helped with medicines from both nature and ordinary humans. Isn't that Harold?"

"true."

"How's Tristan?"

"I don't know."

"Why are you here for? are you considering giving Tristan this water or. You're not gonna give it to her, are you?"

"Of course not. I'm not crazy yet."

"Thankfully. But what about Tristan?"

"Help me guard this temple. I'll be right back."

Harold stepped away towards the back of the temple.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I'll meet with the Elder."

"Elder?"

"They'll try to help Tristan."

"Can they?"

"Oh I don't know Luis. But don't rule out the possibility."

Soon they reached the far end of the temple border at the very back. Outside the temple, several people were waiting. Harold accompanied Luis and Allana went to approach some of those people.

"Thank you for coming." Harold shook the hands of some of those people.

"Don't hesitate." said one man in a high hat.

"Then where is he?" ask one more person. This time the man used an all-white suit stellan and his long string was white.

"Inside." replied Harold.

"Then take him out. We can't go inside."

"Sure, but... Where will you take it?"

"One of our safe places. We used to help the supernatural there." explains the man in the high hat.

"All right."

"We will try our best. Do you know what caused it?"

"No. But they said, there's an antidote so I guess... poison?"

"The antidote? could have. But it could be because of something else."

"Alright, the other warriors are taking them."

Allana just she looked at them.

"Elders. They're witches."

"God..." Allana nodded her head. "Like James."

"They look weird? that's the witch." Kevin commented.

"They're coming!" harold suddenly.

"They? who are they?" the witches are confused.

"Rogue!!"

"W-what?"

"Kevin ready! Allana! come in.." said Harold to Allana. "Hurry up, they're starting to come." Harold mindlink the warriors who carried Tristan's body.

From far away, some rogue ran up to them.

"The Knirers, if they attack us. strike back." said the man in the white coat. "Pardon you Harold, if they don't attack us, we can't help your people."

"We understand that. Totally understand. You don't have to worry, sir."

Harold turned into a wolf.

"Allana go." said Luis and changed too. Harold attacked one wolf, Luis attacked as well. Allana runs towards the temple but is late. In front of him were two wolves. Allana's surprised. He saw Harold and Luis still busy facing the other Rogue.

"I have to." said Allana slowly. Allana turned herself into a wolf. Allana jumped up high and landed on one of the wolves. The wolf immediately got up and attacked back. They attacked Allana mercilessly. They bite and even hit Allana's body repeatedly.

"What'sthis? they're..so fast."

"They're Rogue Allana, they're wild, but they're strong. Be careful."

Luis again pushed hard the one wolf that attacked him. Allana heard a growl behind her. She's looking. The wolf that had attacked him was already preparing to attack again.

"Oh no. I won't lose again. You've killed enough."

Allana growled back and then jumped up high, trying to pounce on the wolf. But the wolf was faster and sniffed and quickly turned around to attack Allana blindly. Allana. Allana's wolf body crashed hard on the tree and fell down. One other wolf strongly pushed the body of Allana wolf that was still lying on the ground. Allana tried to rebel and break away, but the wolf was very strong.

The warriors carrying Tristan's body began to arrive. They were shocked by the attack. Everything started to turn into wolves.

"No! don't help us. Just take Tristan to the witches. Hurry along!"

The warriors looked at each other then finally nodded. Two of the warriors turn back into humans and hack into Tristan's body while the other two remain wolves to pave the way and deter the Rogue. Harold saw Allana was already helpless.

"Luis, please Allana. I'll keep them here."

"No! don't mind me. I can and should."

"But Allana-"

"No!"

Allana's body started to limp. "No, I can't. can't..."

Allana's eyeball which was originally brown is now turned into a deep white and then her body starts to shine again. Allana kicked the strong wolf that pushed her body continuously. The wolf went far. One more wolf bit his leg. Allana growled loudly and quickly lowered her body and bit the wolf's ear and pulled it to pieces. Allana pushed hard the wolf's body until it crashed a few meters. He looked at Harold and Luis who were starting to get into trouble because of the too many Rogue numbers. After falling a few but finally came back with a lot. They even started to take Tristan's body. Allana growled furiously. He dashed quickly towards the five wolves that were attacking Harold and smashed at them all at once.

"I'm okay Allana. Help them deliver Tristan's body to the witches. Hurry along!"

Allana growled and ran away. One wolf has dragged Tristan's body. Allana stood right in front of the wolf then growled violently. The wolf growled while still pulling Tristan's body. Allana jumps high. The wolf released Tristan and dodged. Allana attacked again quickly and knocked down one wolf. Quickly another wolf came and started attacking Allana. The longer the number of Rogue it is the more.

"W-what is this? What's up with these Rogue guys?" ask the white-haired witch.

"They attacked blindly and-wait a minute. There's a pack attack, right? and the culprit is Rogue."

"If attacking the pack is still very reasonable Barnabas, but they attack the warriors in their temple."

"You're right. Then what do we have to do with Augys?"

"none. They're not attacking us."

"They are indeed very strong warriors, but if they fight Rogue this much with their meager numbers, they won't survive the Augys."

"Rules remain the rule of Barnabas, they don't attack us, we can't attack them."

"It's so weird."

"What's so weird?"

"Rogue usually attacks whatever is in front of him but we are not attacked. It's weird."

"You're right. I just realized it. They should have attacked us." One wolf just passed the Augys. "And they didn't attack at all. They're like-"

"Some one controls it." continued Barnabas.

"They have an Alpha?"

"Rogue doesn't have alpha, they have leaders. But even so, they would still attack anyone. That's already their identity."

"Then...what are they looking for by attacking this warrior? what's inside the temple?"

Barnabas and Augys were silent for a moment and looked at each other in surprise.

"The faint rainbow springs." they said simultaneously. Then looked at the hundreds of rogue who were attacking the warriors.

"What should we do now?"

*****

Renald walked back and forth in his room. He's been like that since ten minutes ago. Her aunt opened the door of the room and looked confused.

"Uhm.. What's wrong with her?" ask Teddy who is still dumbfounded to see Renald.

"Eitherway. I'm still trying to understand it."

"Uhm... Renald..."

"Wait for bi, wait. Don't bother Renald just yet."

"But you've been like this from ten minutes ago Ren- uhm. alpha."

"Ten minutes? God, are you sick, Ren?"

"No bi, no. Just. Don't bother Renald."

"Is there anything he thinks?" ask Aunt Agatha again to Teddy.

"We were just talking about Allana and the blue flower and then suddenly she was like that."

"That girl again? it's lucky he was in that temple and it doesn't bother us, why think again? isn't he safe in that temple?"

"Well seems safe."

"But I'm not calm!" salut Renald half yelled. "I feel like I'm going crazy. My head is going to explode. If he's safe, why do I keep thinking about him, worrying about him. She's not my mate anyway! why do I feel like this? and why can't I use this flower?!"

"Hey. You have to control yourself, young man!" sahut aunt Agatha.

Renald took a deep breath and sat down in his chair.

"Is this a mate syndrome?" ask her aunt who was sitting in front of Renald.

"No no, no mate-syndrome. He's not Renald's mate, that's for sure. But with the magician giving Renald a task, it was always a burden because Renald felt he did not fulfill it."

"He's a witch, we're werewolves. Both supernatural beings but different races. We are forbidden to interfere in the affairs of other people."

"Bi, the witch asked me to look after Allana and Allana was a werewolf. Not a witch."

"But the witch has interfered in werewolf affairs by ordering an alpha like you to look after a girl like Allana."

"Allana is not a regular girl. He's a warrior, which Renald heard has powers equivalent to alpha and beta."

"The soul of the wolf has also been taken by the luna of the Crysort. Ahh Renald, there is no future there. I'd understand if she was your mother. But this isn't! she's not your mother so you have no obligations to the girl let alone that it's just because of the witch's words."

"But he-"

"It's not just any witch." added Renald's mother who had just arrived.

"Where are you sure of that? she could be just an ordinary witch."

"I told you Agatha, who can pick flowers is the chosen one."

"Okay, okay. If so, why would he ask Renald to help the girl. He could have asked the king of Lycanthrope. The king was stronger and had quite a large territory."

"I'm sure there's a reason. He couldn't-"

"How do I use it?" asked Renald suddenly.

"Using what?"

"That flower. How to use it? Renald tried to calm himself down in any way but somehow could not. Spread some people to find out Allana's whereabouts, but no one knows it, none. Allana is in the temple of MoonGodness."

"Done then. If he's right there, he'll be safe. It's safer than any pack. Even the one guarding the temple was a very powerful werewolf. So what's it looking for again."

"No bi. Renald felt something was happening. I don't know what it is."

"Just how you feel Ren."

"No bi, this must be something and Renald will bring Allana here, at the witch's request. If the chosen one asked Allana here, there must be a reason. Maybe that flower could help Renald find Allana."

"The flower will not be usable if it is not already in use."

"But I think it's time."

"No Renald, your mother was right. If indeed Allana is in danger, the flower will be usable. Look, flowers are normal. Does not show any sign of danger or will be used immediately. That girl is okay."

"Your aunt's right. Remember the function of Bluemoon flowers is to give hope when there is no hope anymore. If the flower has not worked as it functions, then the girl is still fine."

"Let's just relax, auntie's sure she's okay."

"Content bi. Renald hopes aunt's right."

Is Allana really okay?
