Hearing news of the coming war, my sergeant mother tried to move me. She didn't want me to see to much blood shed that was bound to happen because of this. Yet...as we tried to move on, we were attacked by a waring pack member. He came out of no where, slashing the fea who had come to be my mother's throat, killing her instantly. I stood there in fear, blood dripping down all around me as I didn't know what to do. Then, the large bruten looked to me, his blood red eyes seeming to glow, staring daggers into my heart. I ran. My legs moved as fast as they could back the way that I had come from. I knew no other place. All I knew is that I had to get out..I had to get away. My mind hadn't really processed what was going on at that point..my instinct had taken over. Panting, I finally made it back to the other members of the small clan that Sieara had joined not to long ago. I cried out, telling them of what happened. At that point I was still covered in her blood.

The others just looked at me, wide eyes staring with anger, disgust, and confusion.
What have you done to Sieara!
One demanded, as if he had heard nothing of what I said earlier. It was conceivable of course..when I had spoken of the tragedy I was still in a panicked state. I tried to speak up, telling them I had nothing to do with it, but then the large bruten who had killed my mother came bursting through the bushes, his blood red eyes still a flame. The others cried out in fear, rushing off into different directions..but none survived the brute's wrath. I hid, watching the whole scene in a silent scream for help. Then, the alpha of the clan tried to fight back, injuring the enemy some. Still I watched them, blood covering the ground as I watched all my fellow pack members die.

Soon..the fight was over. Both had died in the battle. As soon as I knew it was safe, I crept out of the bushes slowly, inspecting them all, their bodies laying there motionless and cold. I nudged the pack leader gently, his blank eyes staring straight at me. I froze, they seemed to hold all the hate and blame upon me. Then suddenly the thought hit me..I was the one that lead the brute here! I had caused their deaths! With this, I ran off in any direction I could take. As long as those eyes wouldn't stare..
PART TWO

Years later I had become a full grown bruten, slightly smaller then other brutes, and weak. I had not gotten the training from other lupes, for I had lived on my own. Still, I had my own style that I had created, being able to still avoid the enemy packs..and of course...my inability to feel anything when others died by my hand. That lesson I had learned the hard way back when I was a pup. As I grew blood became a normal sight to me as the war was still raging on. I would find dead bodies scattering the grounds.

One day, I was approached by one a young lupess from a pack that was still participating in the war. News of my skill had spread around the lands and all the packs wanted me on their side. Yet...this lupess was different. She seemed kind..sincere..So I decided to help. I joined. She told me of her plight, of the lands that had been ravaged by another pack that held great power. She told me of a faerie, the Darkest faire. She was helping the pack raise to power for her own benefits. So I was given the job to infiltrate her palace and destroy the packs stronghold so that this lupess' pack could over come them. I hesitantly agreed, not really knowing what I would be getting into.

Before I left to do my job, I was entrusted with an odd necklace that was to be placed upon the faerie's neck. It was called the Gem of the Cursed. This would stop her magic for good. So, after being bestowed with this token, I left in with silent and deadly purpose.

As I approached the strong hold, the Gem seemed to glow fiercely. I growled, fearing it would give away my position, which it did. Two large brutes came towards me, baring odd symbols upon their forelegs. It was a deep red, cross shaped scar. From behind more came. I was surrounded. I growled, tassle flicking in the air as they came at me at once. Dodging them I continued to move on, I had to time for these lackeys, the faerie was what I was after. Others came at me, some I couldn't avoid contact with. These would be my downfall...
PART THREE
As I battled on, slaying every one that came against me, the faerie learned of my whereabouts. As I got closer to the shore, where the stronghold was located, water began to fall from nowhere. I was soon shrouded in a sea of fog and rain. I coughed, not knowing what was happening or what was going on. Then..I saw her. Her long, flowing hair falling over her blue skinned shoulders. Her large, bat-like wings flapped, causing more rain to come at me. I was now swimming, and slowly being dragged out to sea. She cackled, looking at my pathetic stature. But..I had a mission to do. With a large gulp of air, I swam under the surface, using all of my muscles to help me swim through the water. I was soon within reach without her knowing. So, with a large leap, I jumped up from the water, tossing my head about as the necklace fell from around me, and fell upon the faerie. With a loud screech she began to turn to stone, her eyes glowing a fierce, fiery red. The same color as the brute who had killed my mother...My eyes opened wide as I suddenly fell back into the water, exhaustion taking over me.

When I awoke, I lay on the shore, the sun shining down on my deep blue fur. I snorted, getting up with a gruff, my muscles aced everywhere. My auds then flicked back up, my mission! I had completed it. There..again I saw the bodies of my drowned lupes..or lupe that I had slain. With a flick of my tassle, I disregarded them, moving slowly back to the pack. I traveled for what seemed like days until I found the right spot. Oh how joyous they would be that I had vanquished the faerie. Yet..it was not to be.

When I arrived back at the pack lands...I only found bodies. My auds flattened to my head as I spotted all of my new comrades and even the fea that had commissioned me; dead. The enemy pack must have taken advantage of them when they lay in wait for me. Again...their deaths had been my fault. I could stand this no longer..from that day, I vowed I would never let another lupe die. I would never kill another for I knew the pain had finally sunken in. I lay there, weeping as my heart broke, my conscious returning, feeling regret for all of the horrible things that I had done..
PART FOUR
More time passed as I started a new life, moving away from the pack lands that had now stopped feuding. One day, I met the most enchanting lupess..who reminded me much of the lupess that had commissioned me so long ago. Her name..was Silva. With her she had two younger twin siblings. Each of them had wonderful personalites. They allowed me to live with them. Their mother was the only one alive at that time and they needed more members to be able to survive. I accepted their offer.

As time went by..I fell in love with Silva..and we became mates. My life was beginning to be happy again. Yet..there was one thing I could never erase. It was that..of my chain. After the battle so long ago, I had pierced my ear, the cross shaped scar that the henchmen wore on the end of it. And yes..it was the same blood red that I had caused so many others to see..and the same color that instilled fear within my soul. I could never forget what I had done..and the faerie made sure of that.

After the ordeal with the faerie, she now resided at the bottom of the sea, still cast in stone as the Gem of the Cursed lay around her neck. Somehow..her spirit still lived on..and it found me.
TRANSFORMATION

One day, as I was out hunting for Silva and her two siblings, a strange rain began to pelt me, sending almost gale forces that knocked me down. My eyes looked up into the sky..There! The same glowing red eyes of my past had returned.
For what you have done you must pay! A CURSE! A curse I lay upon you! You shall never touch another without the pain to be felt. Your life shall have to remain close to the sea. You shall never run away. You shall be bound...TO ME!!

All of a sudden, my body began to mutate painfully. I called out in fea and pain as I lay on my stomach, oddly colored fins protruding out from it. My tail seemed to fall off, being replaced by a new one, spines tipping the end that were poisonous. They grew to full length, each point larger and deadlier then the next. I lay there, panting for breath, but the water kept pelting me, almost drowning me. As I lay there, nearly dieing from the pain, I saw the faerie's face, cackling in pure delight. Then..I blacked out.

So now..I have to live my life near the sea. I cannot travel far from it..you could say that I was amphibious of some sort. I can still travel on land..but I must stay near salt water if I am to survive. My Silva...My Silva still loved me..even after all of the transformations that I went through. She still stayed with me..understanding each thing and taking the burden as if it was her own. And so because of her is why I live on with this curse. I still go from day to day, my philosophy to keep. I will never let another die by my hands..even if now it means that I stay..by myself..
