In the time they have used the land wisely and have returned greenery to their land. Not to mention a new of the shamans have actually given birth in the time that's passed. Not only have the shamans given birth but the males that survived the takeover where given the chance to nature with the humans slave and while the women no doubt hate then for it they gave given birth to their own pups. They were born the same way as the shamans and were born blind and deaf. Relying on the mother to take care of them. Once they were able to see and hear the women were allowed to see the other pups as well giving the pups the much-needed interaction they needed since playing with other pups helped teach them hunting instincts. They have fortified all the walls with strong bark and showed them to increase their numbers back to where they were even if they were mostly pups. They kept all the pups in a multi protected room with spirits so that they would be protected as best they could while on the front lines. For now, the fortress was safe... While the wolves take to daily life, the humans who were at first hesitant found themselves at a delima. Alot of them didn't know how to feel with their newborn or children, and despite them having the same blood flowing throughout their veins, couldn't with confidence call the young as their own. While some loved them, and nurtured them unconditional. This difference in Ideology caused a rift on them all, but despite their differences have one thing in common and that they hated the males or the wolfs that force themselves upon them. One of them was Freya which was one of the defiant of the captured women which fought with all her might before being overrun. But, despite her resistance she couldn't help being a mother to her sons and daughters. She tended to them as a mother could do. Teach them of what she knew, teaching them morals and encouraging them to be their best all throughout the day. But, when her mate visits she always tries her best for him to not get close to them as a desperate act of resistance to their kind. But, despite her best efforts and her children’s natural love for their parents the moment their father comes to visit the children quickly flock to his side. Of course, to her she didn't like the idea of her children to someone like their father, she had little to none in terms of control. The wolfs are naturally family oriented and we're known to uphold their families above all else. All she could do at this point was to play with what remains of her children in here side. Playing to them while making sure that her children was within sight and safe. Her mate was also doing the same thing that seem to frustrate her in a sense. The others had mixed ways with dealing with this kind of situation, as a number of them started slacking off and sleeping while others were in fact playing with their children. The pups were quite happy, rolling around and playing with one another. Some, got heated that they started biting and roughhousing with one another causing some panics but, was quiclly resolved without incident. Though the neglected pups were roaming around as their mothers have failed to take care or even notice them in some points. It was an eye sour but everyone just couldn't hold it onto them. Because they never wanted them in the first place and they never stopped making it known throughout themselves. "Let’s go play with them." He said as he rounded up some of them and make her way towards the lonely pups. At first, they were shy, and quite weary but, who could blame them. Still the pups pursued them and in some point of the interaction found a common ground and started playing with one another. Freya was happy seeing that her kids were friendly and kind hearted, unlike someone she knows. But, still the mothers did nothing but stare blankly to the roof or slept like a log. Still she encourages her kids to play with them rubbing their necks and patting them for encouragement. The sight made her warm inside and very happy inside as she stares intently at the playgroup. As the pup’s guards kept any eye on everything and a howl came making everyone become even the pups as they looked around confused. The next sound that echoed through the fortress was the sound of the shells falling on trees. The sound of fires started to roar and scare the pups as they huddled to their mothers while all the men and shaman ran through the fortress to help strengthen and protect the fortress however there was little they could do to distance attacks like these. The Shamans worked hard to make trees appear as fast as they were brunt away but the fire kept raging and they were faster in burning everything to the ground. Guess the world eaters were experts at destroying everything in sight. They kept coming in and soon enough even the warriors had trouble dealing with the humans in their metal beasts. Normally the Shamans would handle them but they were all focused on making sure the fires didn’t get into the fortress itself. The beta then grabbed the contraption the Dwarves gave them in case of emergency he pulled the string as instructed and a red light flew through the air exploding (flare) signaling for help. The dwarves on the far right of the camp hurried as they scramble to get as much men as possible to aid the werewolves. Soon, the dwarfs replied in kind with their own shooting out one bright red sun ensuring to the dwarfs that they are going to go as fast as they can. Soon, on top of the buildings were machine gunners and started going ham on the defenses, pouring lead into the walls and the defenders. After him a small trail of smoke and flames found its mark at one of the massive trees. Blowing it up, and sending wood chips all around them. And in front of them were regular troopers that seem to be bait for the werewolves. But, what the army didn't know was that on the opposite direction, a small group of humans with a APC, slowly creep their way up into the back of the fortress. In an attempt to rescue their enslaved sisters. The werewolves had their hands full trying to keep the fires under control but they soon found a giant tree was being blown up which only made things worse since their powers were best utilized on trees that were already around. When a large group of the world eaters were in front of them the beta gave a loud howl sending his men forward to attack while only regular guards remained. While the wolfs follow and get baited by the world eaters, the other group sprints into action ramming the A{C on the backside of the camp, on a known weak spot, bulldozing the already weaken concrete wall. Catching much of the guards off guards as they get mowed down by the soldiers and the heavy machinegun mounted on top of the vehicle. The pups were frightened by the loud sound of gun fire which sudden erupted from all sides. The males quickly make their way outside as they try to protect their children leaving them to the protection of their mothers. The pups seek shelter to their mothers. Which some surprisingly entertained while the others simply shrug off them and some quickly hitting them if they further tried. "You are not my child, you are an abomination." One the mothers replied when her pups started asking for aid when a stray bullet landed on his palm. Which made the infant to dash off from the other side as bullets still fly in all directions. Freya saw the pup and felt sadness, asking one of her children to fetch him. "Why do you all still care, when the army or our men comes they would surely kill these abominations as fast as they can." The same mother comments as she sees the other mothers. "Because no matter what you call them they are still our sons and daughters. "Freya erupted quite offended with what she said as she treats the wound of the other pup. "They are not human." She quickly responds. "They are our children." She quickly remembered them of that fact. "No matter who they fathers are, no matter how they were made, they are our sons and daughters." She quickly follows as she finishes treating the wound and quickly assured them that no harm will come to them by quickly patting and hugging them reminding them all that mother is still and always here. The werewolves were still trying to defend their fortress but he soon started to wonder if this really was their plan. A frontal assault was stupid even if they had such weapons that could destroy their defenses with fire they would be suicidal to send their warriors to the front of their doors. He then decided that maybe taking back the fortress wasn't their goal. The beta then gave a loud howl when he noticed that he had fewer guards and he realized that they actually came from the front as a diversion. He howled that the women were in danger and the fathers quickly ran back as fast as they could from the field but they realized too late because it would take time for them to get back to protect their pups but at least now he ordered the remaining guards to go to the bridge so they could protect the mothers of their pups as best they could. Out from the outside several soldiers entered the tent, all well-armed and armored. They were the rescue crew and just outside was the APC, with its powerful gun suppressing and keeping the other wolfs in bay. "SISTER!" One of them yells out as he goes to Freya and the two share a hug. "Are you safe, did they hurt you?" He immediately asks before the pups growl at him for getting too close to their mother. "What are these!" The man screamed out as he puts out his gun. "No!" She screams out as she goes in front of the gun trying to protect them. "These are my children." She answered with a worried tone, for what her sibling would react. "THEY'RE DEAD!!!" He yelled out shooting five rounds at the roof. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have left." He said as he falls to the ground in defeat. Kneeling and blaming himself for his actions. "Don't blame yourself, Wick." She comforted him. "I love my children very much. "She said as she rubs the neck of her child which like a dog loved it as its tail starts to wag in delight. It took a few more moments because of the him but once the main force was back they were able to outmaneuver the APC that was keeping them pinned. Once that was done they make who had pups quickly started to get to the prison. With the APC guns stops the soldiers knew for sure that they were running out of time. The soldiers and the other women were starting to pack up and their pups were wimping and in an attempt to make them stop. But, it was an wasted method, and soon one of them bit one of the soldiers making them panic and yell out in frustration. He kicked the pup and pulled out his gun and shot it three times. And with a final grunt he leaves escorting the others which one of them was the mother of the pup. "What have you done?" One of them comments as they witness the death of the youngs covering the eyes of their own, looking with disgust as the soldier shrugs her question. Freya was shocked with what happened failing to shield her children from the emotionless slaughter of their friend. "We have to kill them." Her brother whispered to her. "No matter they are, they are our future enemies, if they are still alive they are a threat." He continues as she could hear their guns. Her children going to her back for safety scared with the brutality that they just witness. The pup was barely alive at this point as large amounts of bloods rushes from the holes in his body. It wimpier with each passing time. The mothers that loved their children watched in horror as the wolf pup was slowly and painfully passes on moved to tears as the thought of their beloved suffering the same. They couldn't do anything but, hold them tight praying that they would be left alone, refusing to join them out of fear of what would happened to them. "Please, don't hurt them." Freya answered with a hint of panic in her voice but, she stays strong for them. "I don't want to hurt you." He said as tears flow from his eyes, the others followed suit as their point their weapons at the protective mothers, the ones that remains. They tightly wrapped their arms at them, telling them that everything is going to be alright. "JUST LET THEM GO!" The brother screams out, still hesitant to shoot his sister. But, the other pups that were now orphans shield themselves behind barrels and below tables. Defenseless the soldiers grabbed them. "DAMN IT! JUST GRAB THEM AND RUN, THE WOLFS ARE GONNA BE HERE IN A FEW MINUTES!!" He said, caging one of the captured wolfs, escaping outside. Freya couldn't watch the cruelty right infront of her eyes and lunges into one of them, catching him off guard and proceeds to beat him up. The others joined in and attacked them before they could open fire at her. The fight lasted long enough for the werewolfs to arrive and help out. The werewolves saw as one of the world eaters had grabbed one of their pups and was in a cage. The pup whined loudly trying her best to howl but her lungs were big enough to give a loud ear-piercing howl like the adults could. The father struggled with the idea of going after them but he knew that his brothers would take care of their children so the werewolf ran after the soldier with his pup in the cage. He swore he would slash him to bits! He was much faster than any human and could easily catch them He was shot multiple times but he refused to stop as he tackled the human to the ground and slashed his throat before he busted open the cage to get his pup free. In the meantime, the other males came in just in time to see the woman actually protecting the pups and they knew that they were family if they truly risked their lives for their children. They didn’t stop to be in awe though as they quickly got in and slashed the world eaters attacking their women and pups they made sure to make it quick but not in mercy but because the pups have seen enough cruelty. The bit down on their necks hard snapping them and killing them instantly. Now the men went in front of the door and stood their ground ready to protect their pups as the rest of the warriors came to clear out the fortress of the invaders. The damage was done, one of the young was taken, while many were injured and traumatized by the event. The mothers quickly grabbed their young counting ang making sure that they were still there. After they were sure they tightly hold them like it was last time. With tears flowing from their eyes. The pups cried and accepted the mother's embrace as they were almost taken or ended up like the one in the middle. The unlucky pup lays down, only able to get a few howls out as he stares blankly to the front. He didn't have long and it was better, to put him down to end his suffering urging to see his father before he pass on. He was swimming on his own pool, and with his fur getting covered and strain by it. Though the others were still alive, they were sadly taken, by the enemy. And with their fate unknown and at the mercy of their enemies. With their mothers, but fortunately the women were able to save a large portion of the captives, motherless but, fortunately they still had their fathers. Orphan quickly rush their ways to their fathers, quickly holding their legs, crying with the event and the loss of their beloved mother. The warriors pushed back all the invaders and were able to kill them. No doubt they would have to reward their cruelty in kind and put a few heads on stakes as a warning for them to never think about trying this again. Once everything was secure again the shamans repaired the damage with trees knowing that they will need a new plan next time since their fire weapons will no doubt be a problem for them in the future. The father of the pup on the floor shot and pooling blood under him made him cry softly. His tears flowed from his face before he spoke in beast and essentially said "I'm so sorry, please know you will not suffer anymore" before he plunged his claws into his pups chest and pierced the heart killing him quickly and ending his suffering as his eyes lost their light and truly died for them. The fathers who were left with only their pups happily hugged them all holding them in a tight embrace and tried to comfort them as best they could be saying that their mothers weren't strong enough to be their mothers and decided to leave from responsibility. Though the women that did stay weren't unnoticed because once the shamans were done Jirah went to see the women and saw a few that truly fought to protect their children. She also noticed the grief-stricken father in the middle and went over to comfort him saying that his son will become a beautiful tree. Once things quiet down Jirah went to the human mothers and said "come with me. You all protected your pups I think you deserve to be part of the pack" she said gently holding out her hand to Freya who was confirmed the leader and one who instigated their defense. When she held onto Jirah hand she gently leads them and their pups out into the open. Once outside she led them to the center of the fortress and the beta was about to order them to take the women back until Jirah started to speak on their behalf. She explained what happened and how they protected their pups like any other mother of the tribe would. He thought for a moment and calmed down before he turned to Freya and asked the all-important question "Why did you protect your children? They are half breeds and some of your other mothers decided to just leave when they had the chance, why didn’t you?" "Because, they are my children, no matter who their father is, even if his the most disgusting kind there is, I will never hold it against them." She answers serious to become a part of the pack. Vowing that she will protect them as long as she can. She looks to her, serious with what she just promised. Even if she had to kill her brother for it. His words still haunting her mind and dreams for the pass days. The others were like her resolute in protecting their child even if at the cost of being a traitor to their own kin. He looked deep into her eyes as she said that they were her children regardless of their fathers. When he saw how serious she was about it he couldn't help but smile knowing that it was rare for humans to take such responsibility but maybe the ones on this side truly saw only their own blood coursing through their childrens veins. He turned to everyone and yelled out "Tonight once we finish repairing everything we will perform the Alki Kin ritual!" He said making all the wolves howl loudly in cheer and Jirah smiled at Freya and said "That’s our ritual for acknowledging blood kin. After the ritual tonight, you will all join us not as world eater or just humans you will be one of us and that means you will treated like family including your pups. For now, just wait in one of the rooms on the upper floors of the fortress, with your pups. We will get you when everything is ready tonight" she said softly smiling thinking that now she would be able to make some headway in keeping her promise to the spirit when they first got here. It took hours as they repaired the fortress as best they could be calling their dwarf allies to help them using their skills in creation to help in reinforcing their defenses against fire using what they called metal to reinforce the walls and wrap around the trees to help keep them safe. It made everything look shiny and odd but they understood the need to change and adapt to this dangerous world. They made sure everyone was fed and soon enough the sun started to set in the distance and the Shamans went to work creating the large bonfire and the ceremonial paint that would mark them as blood kin for life. Once it was done one of the other shamans went to the doors where they chose to take and she led her back down to the middle of the fortress where the bonfire was already on fire. They led them to center and put the mothers in a circle surrounding the fire and Jirah said "as the eldest shaman I am here to say that we have found true blood kin tonight. They have proven that they are true family, they risked their lives to protect their young and only true mothers that believe in family would do that. Tonight, we will give them new names and call them our sisters!" They all howled once more in cheer the fathers and pups behind each mother silently supporting them. She went out giving each mother a different symbol on their face with the red paint. Soon she got to Freya and smiled giving her a symbol of a red moon on her forehead and said "From now on you are Freya white light. You are a part of the family now." before going the rest of the mothers and she was in front of the bonfire and said, "New kin give us your new howls as members of the pack" she called out telling them to give their best howl so that their families would remember it from now on. Freya howled as loud as she can, still not as mightily as the werewolfs but, convey the same ferocious and power as one. Her pups imitated her after intrigued by their mothers, releasing a cute sounding howl in return. The other mothers followed thru some were as true while some was better sounding, but all of them portraited the same meaning or message their willingness to protect their children from whoever that want to harm them. After the astounding howl the mothers felt a sense of pride and was happy enough that they quickly hugged their children, now a member of the clan, they had more rights and more standing to properly able to guide their children. Meaning that they would be able to teach them more openly one the things that would prove important to their lives. While her brother and her squad navigates around the streets of New york, narrowly moving and creeping their way around the streets of the city. The wolfing howled defeatistly as they grow further and further into the city. "Eventually reaching a small enclave of men. He and his group were exhausted, since it took extra effort without having the aid of an vehicle. "What that thing." One of them asks taking alook at the caged-up creature in his arms. "Our objective." He answers and with a small nod from the guard, he enters the bunker. By the looks of it they were the remnants of the garrison of the city, but unlike the army they were limited to a few operatives and personnel’s. And most of them was militia and citizens. The women seeing what left of their family embraced them, their true husbands and childrens flock to them, as they have escaped what they deemed as the worst place of all time. They describe how horrid the situation was, exaggerating and describing the wolfs as nothing more than brutes and those that remained were broken beyond repair. Strengthening the mens resolved and further infuriating them to fight even harder. "MY DAUGHTER!" One of the mothers and the fathers yells out as they heard the news of the fate of their children but, would be even more angry at the women if they actually knew what really happened and know that they were lying to them. A clever plot to ensure that there was no peace between them They all smiled as they heard the new kin give their howls for the very first time before their pups followed suit. They all memorized the sounds of their howls for the future since it was a main part of how they communicated along long distances. Once they all finished howling Jirah called out "and so with this their ceremony is complete. From now on they are members of our tribe and are a part of our family." she said and everyone else gave a loud howl that echoed through the night. Once they all accepted them they stood up and the pups stayed close to their mothers but Jirah then said "All new kin please follow me outside. We need to talk about what you will do as members of the tribe" she said and their mates explained that all members of the tribe have a role and that males were the warriors but the females could be shamans and they needed to see if they had the aptitude for it. They took the pups and said where they were sleeping so that they could all sleep together as a family. They then left with the pups leaving the women alone with Jirah. Jirah then moved away from the bonfire and held out her hand as a green flame appeared and she said "Follow me ladies" she said leading the way outside a few feet till they found one of the large trees that still remained after the attack with flowers growing around them. She gestured for them all to sit down once more and Jirah smiled putting her back to the tree as she started to teach them like she would young pup girls. "You see the way our power works is that it is a gift not a right or something we are born with. What we do is take the natural energies of the plants around us and their spirits and control them with our own bodies. In order for us to gain these powers we must make a pact with the spirits themselves. Not all of you will be able to do this because it takes a certain amount of spiritual energy to see them and talk with them. Only us women can do this, it’s rare for a male to become a shaman because the spirits are more like children and it is something only us mothers can understand" she said with a little laugh. She then took a deep breath and said, "I want you all to focus on my hands and don't lie speak only the truth if you can see them or not" she said before speaking a few soft words to the flowers nearby telling them to come and greet the new sisters. Around her the flowers seemed to glow before they started to grow longer and they started to circle around her wrists like bracelets before the flowers appeared on her hands. The little spirits then appeared on her hands standing or sitting on her palm all of them waving to the girls so Jirah watched to see which ones would wave and see the little ones. The sight itself was already beautiful by itself as the glow was a marvel in its own right. Soon, fairies started moving about, swirling, running, and floating in the air. Playfully playing in the air, the women that can see it look up in delight, eyes following the circling creatures. Free that was the only thing you could describe the air, without a care in the world the creatures that call the tree home or the ones that sustain the tree itself. "Are these fairies?" Freya said as she tries to stare at one of them casually sitting on one of the leaves of the flowers. She stares back at her, and after a few seconds giggled as she makes her way towards the top of the head of Freya, playing and stomping around. Freya stands up in the sudden turn of events. "What are you doing." She said unsure as she tries to get her off gently but, fails due to her limited vision and the fairy's natural agile nature. To the others that couldn't see, she looked like she lost it. As to her vision she was struggling with an invisible force or entity. They were confused for a moment until some followed suit, and for the others the fairies were sitting and playing around the women, seemly unnoticed by them. Even at times being rowdy at times, for to them the humans were playgrounds. "PLAY! PLAY! PLAY!" The fairy yells out in delight as she begins to pull her strands of hair. "Ouch, Ok we'll play." She answers, making the elf point to the front to the front. "GO! GO! GO!" She screams out like she was having the time of her life, making Freya go all sorts of directions. The event looked surreal as many of the women stare as many of the women started running around in circles. And talking to a number of entities that they have no idea doing anything they will to them. She smiled watching as the little ones started to fly up into the air and she made a note of how many of them could see the flying spirits and when Freya asked if they were fairies she nodded and said "To be specific they are this world earth spirits. The spirits from my world are much stronger and larger." she explained watching and giggling as she saw the spirits start to play with the women. She turned to the ones that looked lost and seeing the other women play with the spirits clearly unable to see them but it seemed the majority of them could actually see the spirits. She then told them to head back into the fort so she could work with the ones who could see the spirits. Then once they were gone Jirah watched them play with the spirits for a few moments and said "come little ones that is enough for now. I need to teach our sisters about being shamans" they awed in disappointment but they flew back to Jirah sitting on her hands. Jirah then said "They are much like children so therefore women are best suited to be shamans. What you don’t know is that spirits have always been in this world they have been in the trees, the grass and the flowers. The one i found when we first arrived was nearly dying and made me promise something. It is part of the pact to be in touch with the earth so you can create the trees we use to protect our lands. The promise was to show you the error of your ways" she said softly using her foot and tapping the concrete nearby to state her point. In order to gain the powers, we do you need to find a spirit and create a pact with them. You must treat them kindly as any child and support them and in turn they will give you their powers." she said before she held out her hands to them and said "Little ones go to one of them and make friends" she said with a smile each one jumping to one of the girls and Jirah said "From this point on you must treat these spirits as your playful child and listen to them make them happy and get them to trust you. Once they do you will be given the opportunity to create a pact" she said as if teaching a class. She watched as a fairy landed onto her palms, but unlike the others this one was quiet and in a way refined then the others. "I am Eve." She introduces herself in a someway robotic voice. "I am the guardian of this world, the bane of the Everrot, born from the last mother, and the seer of our people's future." She said as she strikes a pose. "Yep, you are a very unique person." She replied after hearing the elaborate introduction, which makes her glow with excitement since she was the only one that go with it. "Yep, only the brightest of souls can see the truth of my words, and you will be a worthy familiar so I will be at your care." She continued on quite pleased with her responds. "Ok, Eve I will take care of you. The others had different types of fairies and all accepted the responsibilities. that comes with them, though they are really unsure how to take care of such beings. She smiled as each of them introduced themselves to their fairies and Jirah then said "you must remember these are the children of one spot to give her life so we could have this home. She wanted me to make sure and teach you how to see them and understand that the sprites have always been here." She said before standing up and finishing with "just talk to the and treat them kindly and you will gain your pacts soon enough. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask" she said thinking she conferred enough for their first lesson. "Why can't we see them until now?" She asks confused and like she saw before the fairies had no way of interacting with them until they could see them. "Wouldn't they have survived if they showed themselves?" She continues. "And why could we see them now?" She finishes as she waits for her answer. The others nod in agreement curious on the same things. She smiled at the question before she sat back down since this wound be a lot to explain. She then started "the only reason you can see them now is because they are much stronger then there mother. Their mother was in even worse shape as she crumbled away. Look around you with all the trees and green around they are finally able to get a regular supply of nature energy. I may not be a part of this world long but I didn't see any green here for miles and what little was around came from extremely weakened spirits. They thrive in forests and while you think they are big now the sprites from now would can actually become as big as us and that's saying something. Though normally they appear as young children they are meant to be as big as your pups and they are only a few inches tall" since they were only as big as a regular pencil. She then started to evocation why they couldn't show themselves until now "it's not that they couldn't reveal themselves to you even before we can though. I have heard that this world wasn't always like this. Think about it didn't you ever feel that there was someone watching you when nobody was there? I have also head that in the past your kind believed in the same this we do but that eventually ended when fewer and fewer of your kind could see them clearly. I have aldi heard that your kind also believed in spirits but in much scarier forms. You call them ghosts or in the forests treants. Those were spirits that were corrupted by raw negative emotion. We influence them just as much as they influence us, as a result you must have been hurt by them in one way or another. Now look at the sprites now, they have clear forms and aren't crumbling at tree seams. These spirits are pure and are as they are meant to be. Now they are playful children, their mother told to make sure you all know it's not too late. We bury our dead and we believe that they are reborn as the spirits" she said with a soft smile. She then said "my mate was part of the casualties in our first attack. Even though he is gone I know he is still watching over me" she said softly and as if on cue the tree begins her made vines that flowed down the tree to hug her gently. She then said "we also connect with the sprites so easily because we see them as the children we could have had together but that's just me. You all just lost your connection to the world around you, it is only with deep bonds to the earth itself that will allow you to harness its power and believe it will protect you" she said gently stroking a vine in comfort before turning to them to see if they had more questions. "Then why didn't they stop us?" One of them quickly responds. "If they knew this was happening then wouldn't they have put an end to this?" She follows he follows. "I know my ancestors would have supported them." She ends quite quilty for what happened. "Maybe they did, but we didn't listen." Freya says as she puts her hand onto the shoulders of the mother. "I want to know how do we make things right?" Freya comes front with an question that she deemed was the most important question that she could have asked. "What can I do to make it up to them." She said leaving Eve proudly stand on her shoulders, happy to know that she picked the best or the right one. She smiled softly as one of them asked why didn't the sprites stop them. She waited till Freya comforted her and she answered with "because despite all you have done they still love you deep in their hearts. They didn’t want to fight the race that used to care for them all those eons ago" she said knowing that such unconditional love would shake them to the core, she prayed that she could do the same for the rest of the world. She smiled softly as Freya asked the all-important question on how to make it up to them. She then held out her hand a vine going down her arm and soon a flower bloomed on her palm. She then said, "bring back the beauty that used to cover your world." She said simply before she further explained "your world is nearly covered in this black rock, your smoke poisons the air and destroys forests. You need to take a step back to who you used to be where you cared for your forests more then you did expanding your influence. You can bring back their homes and if you follow our tradition of burying your dead under seeds then they will in turn help keep your loved ones alive even after death. I won't be around forever but if I can see your kind planting trees again instead of putting more black rock then I'll consider my promise to their mother fulfilled" she said softly a few of the spirits starting to cry at the mention of their mothers last wish. The spirits looked to them and nods in approval. "The black doesn't need to disappear, but in order to fight the Everot, the roots of the world tree must take shape." Eve explained further in her own kind of unique way, making her quite curious on where she even got them until she spots a manga just off the distances. She chuckled and said, "Eight grade syndrome." Which caught her off guard and rather confused, as to what that meant. "I promise that we will start planting them." She said as she turns to her. "We might be small but, we will do everything we can." She adds while the others nods in agreement. "We will be the new start of our people." She promises with a serious look. "Oh, also your plants and our plants have mixed together." One of the fairies uttered to the shaman. "These plants shouldn't be here or exist, in other words they are hybrids." The fairy continues. "One of the reasons why is because they are producing mana, pumping it into the air." She ends as she looks at them. She smiled wide as she heard them declare that they will be a new start for their people. She couldn't help but feel proud at three declarations and she said, "then make sure to inspire the others of your kind to do the same and your world will change for the better" she said as the vines receded back into the tree and she heard one of the faeries say that the new plants are hybrids and producing magical energy. She didn't expect this but then it may end up becoming a blessing after all who was she to question nature itself. She nodded as said "I hope you stand by your convictions and teach everyone what I have taught you today. Now take care of your spirits and once you make a pact with them come see me and I will teach you the next step" she said giving them all a big hug before pulling back and leading the way back home.

[*] The humans attacked the fortress and tried to save them but while some left willingly others fought tooth and nail. The males came back after it was discovered the frontal assault was a diversion. The humans stole a single pup from the attack and the women that returned called the werewolves savages. [*] That night the women that stayed took part in a ritual to make them members of the pack now learning how to be alchemists and shamans themselves [/list] [/indent][/indent]
