As the lieutenant waits for the ship dead-ahead to dock, he couldn't help but to look at all the other ships making landfall up and down the rest of the port. As the ships' gates open, Konstantine expected to see several Anarcan guards escorting the pirates down. He'll personally demand one of those guards to answer every single question he has. Yet as he watches the swarm of savage warriors violently tumbling down the decks and begin ransacking the nearest buildings, he suddenly began to realize something particular. For there wasn't a single Anarcan soldier who stepped off the boats, let alone anyone who resembled as one of Konstantine's kind. It soon developed a clear idea of what must've happened. 

And it made his blood boil furiously like an overheating pot of mutton.

Soon the ship closest to him docs and out come a savage onslaught of these barbaric hooligans roaring viciously towards the lone lieutenant. Yet Konstantine didn't run from these fools. He perched his shield forward and extended his lance towards the swarm, walling himself to block their advance. While his armor is incredibly durable and has taken many beatings in the past, Konstantine knew that his chances in annihilating this lot were slim to none. But he's not going to go down without a fight. He's going to avenge his comrades, his honor, and his people aboard, their lives having been senselessly murdered by these cold-blooded bastards. 

Even if it mean't he'd have to sacrifice his own in the process.

May the gods give him strength in this desperate hour.

As the hound scurries through the burning rubble, Aljahim suddenly encounters a small group of rambunctious pirates who were sacking a local fishmonger's shop. They had no regards in beating up the poor old man as he lies helplessly and pleading for help, all while the others began looking for loot. Some even begin eating some of the shop's rare seafood delicacies to satisfy their ravenous hunger. At first, Aljahim considered to not show his face and to continue finding his way out of this place. After all, he has no business here other than to rest up and move on. 

However, as he attempts to sneak away, one of the fleeing commoners, a young blonde maiden, saw his ugly mug and screamed at absolute horror as she stumbled and fell. This quickly brought the attention of the pirates, who then dropped all that they had and focused their attention on this unique specimen.

[b][color=39b54a]"Well lookie here boys!"[/color][/b] snarled a one-eyed pirate who dropped the fishmonger and drew out his cutlass, [b][color=39b54a]"Got ourselves a little critter scimp-scattering aroun' here."[/color][/b]

Aljahim pauses as he is forced to face the pirates head on, his cold blue eyes glaring ominously at the group.

[b][color=fff200]"Damn, he ugly as hell!"[/color][/b] a fat lug bellows as he gulps down an entire fish whole, [b][color=fff200]"What kinda hellspawn did he come outta?"[/color][/b]

[b][color=ed1c24]"Ooh ooh! Can we keep him?"[/color][/b] a smaller one-legged pirate pleaded with great enthusiasm, [b][color=ed1c24]"I bet the boss will love to have him as his guard doggie."[/color][/b]

The red laguz wasn't pleased at that thought and began to growl instinctually at them.

[color=9e0b0f][b]"Best ya'll don't mess with me."[/b][/color] Aljahim warns ominously while bearing his fangs, [color=9e0b0f][b]"Ya should've looked at the last guy who tried to do that."[/b][/color]

[b][color=39b54a]"Say... that ain't a bad idea! Heh! I bet we'd get a raise outta catching this feral mutt!"[/color][/b] the leaders laughs as he eyes the laguz and raises his cutlass, [b][color=39b54a]"Go get em' boys! And make it snappy!"[/color][/b]

The pirates acknowledge and began to charge at the crimson creature. Aljahim simply sighs at their decision as he began to violently transform into his own nightmarish feral form. The pirates began to halt their advance as they realize the error of their decision, but alas it would be too wait for them. The creature lunges at the small pirate and places him under his mighty maw and begins violently shaking him around as if he were a chew-toy. The victim cries out in absolute horror before being tossed to the side, hitting a wooden beam before finding himself lying on his back. 

Another pirate charges at him with wrathful rage in his eyes before being swiftly dispatched as Aljahim slashes at him twice in quick succession. The crimson hound then eyes the fat one as he begins running towards him. The pirate attempted to whack him with his massive hammer, but the wolf was too quick, and he also finds himself smacked in the face by the creature's sharp canine claws. All who was left was the one-eyed pirate who began to cowardly begin stepping back in fear, mortified at what this monster did to his mates. 

[b][color=39b54a]"W-What kind of a freakshow are ya?!"[/color][/b] he nervously asks as he continues backing up.

Aljahim slowly approaches the leader of the bunch as his growls begin to louden significantly. Then with a sudden bark, the crimson hound scares him away as he runs back to his ship. 

[color=9e0b0f][b]"I warned ya..."[/b][/color] the laguz sputters as he continues to make his way down the avenue still in his beastial form.

As he approaches the next intersection, he notices a group of guardsman pushing back the incoming invaders ahead of him and making their way towards the waterfront. Aljahim swiftly ducks behind several crates as he waits for them to pass. If he'd be seen, they'd definitely try and kill him on sight. Amongst them, he can see what appears to be a young boy accompanied by other notable allies, one of which happened to be a witch. He didn't take much interest in them, other then he considered the boy as perhaps the kingdom's prince. Once they passed him, he resumes his advance as he continues to hasten his advance towards wherever the nearest exit is.

That is until he reaches another intersection, for as he turns the corner he comes face to face with a white wolf who also happened to be running this way. With both forces running quickly towards their respected goals, a collision seemed nearly inevitable...
