Warrior (Shewolf)
Chapter 34: finally the flower works

Allana knocked out another wolf. He looks around. Many rogues were lying helplessly but many more had just arrived. The temple warriors looked exhausted.

"Allen... Go to the temple." said Harold.

"No, I'll help."

"Come inside the temple. Keep the temple." Hector knocked out another wolf.

"No, you're exhausted and outnumbered. I'll help."

"No! There must be someone inside the temple. We must protect the temple, no matter what. The most important temple."

"Over your lives?"

"Over our lives. Now, go! There! Help others guard the temple. Hurry along!"

Allana growled and immediately ran into the temple. Although he had been caught by some wolves, Harold helped pave the way for him. Allana enters the temple. He looked at Harold and the others but he had to guard the temple. Allana went back in and looked around the temple.

"impossible? There's no way they're coming in."

"Not yet, but maybe." said Alan and Ed who had just arrived. They also turned into wolves.

"You okay?"

"I'm good. Must've. We're spreading. Inside we are only three. So we spread out. Howl if you find anything."

"What do you not want to help them? They're overwhelmed against that rogue."

"There's no time. We have to guard this temple."

"But they're going to die!"

"Yes, and they died protecting the temple. It's an honor."

"Basic crazy!"

"spread out!"

Alan ran away from Allana and Ed.

"He's really crazy..." Allana growled furiously.

"He's not crazy Allana, he's right."

"How could he be willing to let his pack members die without helping in the least?!"

"Because it's our job. We were created to guard this sacred place, even with our lives. Because this place is one of the supernatural balances. There are too many secrets that many people cannot know. If people knew, they would use it to their own advantage. That's why we're guarding him."

"This is the chosen place, just tell him to take care of it."

"It's not that easy, Allana. If it wasn't for the chosen one, we would never have existed and we were created to keep this place."

"But you were human too! He made you guys like this.."

"But we thank Allana. We are happy with what we have now. After all, we chose to be what we are today. They, Harold and the others, they knew what they were doing and knew the risks. We're not forcing you to help. We know what you haven't decided yet. Just take care of yourself. I gotta go. Howl if you need help."

Ed is gone too. He went towards the cave. The place he and the chosen one were at the other day. Allana walked towards the spring. There's nobody there. Only him. At least he knew the purpose of the Rogue leader was this place.

"Can't the rogue leader be here? No one can enter this place. At least if he's not a warrior. So there's no way she-"

Allana had yet to finish her words she had already heard a growl. Allana turned the wolf's body. There was already a pitch-black feathered wolf whose body size was larger than the size of a typical werewolf. Allana felt intimidated because of her size.

"I've never seen you here before." said the black wolf. Allana did not answer. "You... New. But... You smell different."

"What do you mean?"

"You're new, who are you?"

"I-i... I'm.."

"Oh don't be nervous sweet. You should be scared. Don't block my way and go. Then I'll let you live."

Allana quiet. She's confused. He had just seen the wolf here. But... His voice... Sounds similar...

"Go!" The black wolf. The wolf approached the rainbow spring.

"Wait, why is he there? God, it looks like he is indeed the leader of those rogues. What am I supposed to do? It seems I can't fight it. Her... He's too strong. But Harold said, the rainbow must not fall into the wrong hands. I should how? Uhh! Howling."

Allana took a few steps back then immediately howled loudly. Not finished he howled, his body was already blown roughly. The two front legs of the wolf were above Allana's body. The wolf snarled violently.

"How dare..."

Allana tried to get up, but somehow the wolf was really strong. Even more than Chloe luna. With just two front legs alone, Allana could not move. Allana put all her energy into releasing herself. Allana managed to shake the wolf's defense and break away. The wolf growled and got angry. The wolf leaped high towards Allana. Allana panicked but quickly dodged. The wolf continued to attack nonstop. Allana tries to avoid. But suddenly the wolf stopped as Allana started to get exhausted. The wolf noticed something and then growled violently. The wolf turned around and walked back towards the spring.

'Ware!'

Allana was trying to divert the wolf and give another time to come to that place.

'Why are they not here yet... Shit!'

Allana ran over quickly and stopped right in front of the black wolf.

"I told you not to get in my way."

Allana was silent and not flinching. Even though he was afraid, he remained standing straight in front of the wolf, preventing him from taking the water from the spring.

"Whether you're naive or you're stupid. Verywell then's. I told you before. You're the one who didn't hear"

The wolf snarled and attacked Allana. From the way he attacked, he was ready and wanted to kill Allana. This time Allana could not escape anymore. The movement of the wolf was very fast from the first one earlier, making Allana overwhelmed.

Bukk!!

The umpteenth time he's been knocked. His body could not rise again. Alan and Ed did not come.

Allana's back. The wolf was unforgiving. Although Allana was already unable to get up, she still attacked Allana.

"I told you, you die if you get in my way. So, good-bye."

The wolf opened its mouth wide and bit Allana with the hand also tore Allana apart. Allana groans in pain. Allana's blood has come out a lot. The wound is so bad.

After being content to tear Allana apart and in the sense that Allana would not survive, the wolf stopped its actions. He went back to the water.

Allana moved her body slowly. He tried his hardest but he was too weak. He was sure he would die soon. Too much blood coming out. Werewolves can heal themselves, but it takes time. Not like a vampire who can heal right away. Werewolves take longer than vampires. But looking at Allana's wounds, it's usually hard to heal. It was too bad and Allana realized it. He's gonna die.

"Either... H-nntaahh. ap-what... Which... para..para...warrior it...pp-think-kkan..dd-de-denga-an..mati.... uu-ntuk......kk-kuk? They..they..pp-definitely. And..and.i...aku..a-a-a-will..will die....will die..k-because..me-do-do.hal....ah, shit"

Allana looked at the black wolf earlier. The wolf drank the spring and before long the wolf shone brightly. It was so bright that Allana couldn't see anything.

...Zykolt Pack...

Renald sat on a park bench. His body was not wearing clothes and sweating. He was still trying to catch his breath. He looked straight ahead. I don't know why he's not calm. The flowers show something else. Renald rubbed his face rough. If he had too many thoughts, he would vent out by practicing and practicing. Like now. He trained from morning, alone. Ted initially trained but he eventually gave up. He can't match Renald's stamina. Renald got used to it as a child, venting his emotions by training hard. Especially if you remember the massacre of his family first. It made him so traumatized. He could only calm himself down by training hard.

"Is your dream coming back?" ask Ted while giving a bottle of drink. Renald took the bottle and drank it.

"No." Renald wiped his mouth.

"Then why are you training so hard like this if the dream doesn't come up?"

"Eitherway. I'm just... Not calm."

"It's not quiet? Is it because of that girl? Allana?"

"Looks."

"Why are you like that? Honestly, I understand your aunt's concerns. He's not your mate and the flower doesn't act. But you've been worried too much like this. Ren, there's a temple filled with warriors who have the same power as you! Alpha equivalent! No one can enter the temple. So what could happen? Only a madman would attack the temple."

"Maybe you're right. But I don't know. I can't control my feelings either."

"If so learn. I understand it's about dreams, because I know you're traumatized. But if this is about the girl? that's already a lot of Ren."

"alright. I will."

"God!! The alpha!!" someone from a distance ran over and called out to Renald.

"Why else would that kid?" Ted shook his head. George came in front of them. He tried to say something but his breath was held back. "Hey, hey, hey... Just breathe first."

"I. i.hosh hosh hosh.."

Ted patted his eel. "Sometimes I'm really hard to understand him."

"That's what? Speak clearly."

George took a deep breath. "Alpha flower."

"flower?" ask Ted and Renald at the same time.

"Yes, flowers. That flower.."

"Can't you bica-"

"Blue flowers?" guess Renald.

"Yes! Yep! Blue flowers!"

"What's with the blue flower? Say it!"

"That flower... The petals... Fallen."

"drops? What do you mean - hey Renald! Gosh..."

Renald ran with all his might followed by Ted and George behind him.

Soon Renald arrived in front of his study. She's surprised. The flower now has only one small petal attached. The rest have fallen.

"Hey, why are you running like that?" reprimand the bibia Agatha who saw them running so fast. "Ted what is this? Why-god, what's with that flower??"

Renald entered his office. He approached the flower. Soon the little pebble also fell.

"What does all this mean?"

Suddenly the petals of the flower glowed and then one by one the petals again arranged in the stalk. The light grew brighter and enveloped the whole flower. Renald reached out his hand to take the flower.

"Renald... Don't.." reprimand aunt Agatha. Renald didn't touch him. Hands slowly stick out. "The rale! Don't you dare-"

Agatha's aunt hasn't had time to finish her amulet, Renlad has touched the flower. The light of the bluemoon flower enveloped Renald's entire body.

"Oh no.." Ted, who saw it, sneaked into the study and touched Renald's hand. The light grew brighter and then darkened instantly. Neither Renald, Ted nor the Bluemoon flower vanished, not remaining.

"Where.. Where're they? Where is Renald? Where's Ted?" aunt Agatha started to panic.

"Sa-my... N-n-"

"Find them George! Now!"

George immediately ran to look for Renald and Ted while Aunt Agatha was pale and looking very panicked.

"What does all this mean?" 

********

Brakk!!!

The bodies of Renald and Ted were blown hard on the ground.

"Aarrgh.... What the..."

Renald and Ted groan in pain. They hit hard enough.

"If I wasn't a werewolf, my bones would've broken everything even I could've died." Ted lamented. He lay flat on the ground, so did Renald. They were surprised, they were no longer in Renald's study. Renald and Ted stood up slowly while enduring the pain.

"Where are we?" ask Ted.

"Eitherway. I don't know. We're in the wilderness somewhere."

Before long there was a moaning sound of growling even a blow. Renald and Ted immediately ran towards the sound. How shocked they were to see a life and death battle before them. A lot of it has been stiffened, no, very much. They were shocked at how many wolves had died and were even more surprised that many were still fighting but not comparable.

"What's this about? What's with all the fighting like that?"

"I don't know Ted."

"That doesn't seem fair Ren, let's help."

"Wait, don't be rash. We don't know what's really going on and we can't just interfere."

"But Renald, look, their numbers are not comparable!"

"That's right. But if you look again, though not comparable, they're strong."

"Who are they?"

"Warrior temple."

"What's? Where are you-hey from! Where are you going?" Ted was getting confused to see Renald just leave. Ted is coming. "Where are you going?"

"They're warriors temples. Means we're at the Moon Godness temple."

"Where do you know they're warriors?"

"Their eyeballs. Colored white. They're warriors."

"If they are warriors and we are near the temple means... Means Allana's here."

"Absolutely. The flower sent us here. There must be a connection with Allana. Allana could be hurt." Renald is still searching for the temple.

"But it's hard if Allana's inside Ren's temple, we can't get inside."

Renald stopped his steps. Ted's right. They were not temple warriors or king Lycanthrope or the chosen ones. They won't be able to get in. Renald thinks hard how to.

"I'm gonna have them take Allana out of the temple, maybe it'll work."

"No, it won't work." said Ted, who heard Renald's voice.

"What do you mean it didn't work?"

"They're temple warriors, they won't allow their members to be taken for granted."

"All where are their members?"

"Jeez Ren... Allana is a warrior whose strength is equivalent to alpha and beta. Of course he's a member of the Warriors' club. He could even enter the temple. He's officially a member."

"If he is a member of the warrior, why did the chosen one give me the flower?"

"That's what I don't understand Renald. I secretly thought about it too! And the more I think about it the more I don't understand."

They both fell silent. Before long there was a noise, a sound like someone or something trying to get out of a pile of thickets.

Crash!!

One last slash then one black wolf appeared out of nowhere. Renald and Ted were shocked and did not budge from his place. They pecked for a moment.

"You see that?"

"Very clear."

"That's the biggest wolf I've ever seen. Unless the king is of course, king Lycanthrope."

"Trust me, I'm Ted too."

The black wolf turned to Ted and Renald then growled loudly.

"Oh hey. hey, we don't know anything. We just arrived and don't know what's going on here." said Ted quickly. The wolf continued to growl and even began to face his body to Renald and Ted. "Oh no. He doesn't believe."

Renald was silent. He watched the wolf from top to bottom. He's observing. There were a lot of blood spots on his body and some white feathers there. Renald stared at the bush where the wolf came out.

"It seems that behind the bush is a temple. He just came from the temple. Is he one of the temple warriors? his body was full of blood and feathers that I assumed werewolves. But there was no injury on his body. It doesn't make sense."

"Who are you?" ask Renald at last.

"Are you crazy? Why are you asking who he is? of course he's a temple warrior in view of his huge body."

"I don't think Ted. He's not a warrior."

"Where do you know that?"

Renald just kept quiet and looked back at the wolf. Now all she had in mind was Allana. If even wolves who are not temple warriors can enter, then Allana? where is he?
