A small group ran through the forest as a huge pack of werewolves pursued eager for blood. One of the party member readied a silver arrow only to be crushed under the combined wait of the pack and a fes stayed behind to ravenously dig in.

One by one, the party members were eaten alive until four were left of the original 20. The leader, a young fox looking creature pulled out a sword and ran one through.

Going too fast, the other werewolves met the same fate at the end of spears that over the chase the party had been readying. Soon, the slautgter was over with blood smeared over the forest floor and one of the members crawling over to a tree with a maimed leg.

The leader looked at that and saw that it had been torn off and on victim's sholdur was a savage bite. " Your going to change soon." The victim looked up smiling. " I know, do what you have to do." He smiled at the other members and readied himself for the inevitable.

The leader readied his sword and brought it down as the other two looked away and the headless body collapesed. They quickly buried the bodies and fled towards Silver City as the howls of other werewolves could be heard. There would be no phyrric victory now.

As they neared the edge of the forest, a group of guards burst out with their spears pointing at the party's throats. " Hmm, non-humans. The mayor may want these guys." The leader drew his sword and suddenly spears lunged killing his companions and a spear butt knocking him out.

The lone survivor was dragged to the mayor who the "guest" was forced to kneel to. " Welcome to Silver City, one of the last human havens. " What is your name?" The creature spat on the mayor and was rewarded with a slap. ' One more time." Hissing, the creature said, " Marcel de Louise."

" Oh, hello, forgive the brutality of the guards who killed your friends, but we need someone to do our work. To actually hunt and then kill a were, not just hunt like some girl we have here. I offer you a choice, work for me under unconditionaly terms, or you can die along with your friends."

Marcel looked up and replied shoving a guard off and there was a sickening crack of bone as the guard flew hard into the wall and cracked his spine. " We were just traveling away from the weres, not for some mercenary job, nearly all of my race is dead or infected. I think not." The mayor then turned around. " I'll give you some time to think over it, while you are punshied for insulting my hospitalty."

The fox smirked and then a few minutes late,r was locked in a room with nothing but a bowl of dirty water and a bucket. He cracked in two days. And after that, he was more or less a tool to hunt and kill weres an unnamed human found.

Present

Marcel ran the scimitar through the werewolf's chest and decapitated another as he strode through the burning village. He'd razed it killing any remaining human survivors, better safe then sorry. Screams echoed as he saddled his horse and lanced the last werewolf in town and painted the population sign, " 0" with blood. Then galloped back to Silver City leaving a trail of dead bodies behind.

When he returned, the guards searched him for any bites and sent him on towards the mayor's quarters who asked why it took so long. " I razed the entire village. Convient stack of torches." The mayor sighed and said, " We could've still used that town you know. Go check on Benjaman, somthing strange is happening."

marcel stiffened at the name and actually shivered. " Ye-- Yes, very well." Walking in, he saw a rather big mess with Benjaman still and some of the cells broken. And that wall with a big hole. A guard running by informed him of the escape. " Oh. Thank you. please forgive this." He broke the mans neck and threw him out. It was time to leave, Benny boy was either dead or near dead, the only one he feared. Kicking open the door to Benjamans study, he found the book he wanted and torched the rest smiling.

However, he had no skill in magic and probaly couldn't do it, better to look for an expert. He cut open another guard and started riding away through the chaos.
