(2 years after the prologue) WARNING: BLOOD MURDER GORE MENTAL ILLNESS etc. Please don't read if you get uncomfortable reading about those things :3 Next: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/658913039/ Prologue: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/651178708/ Before: [prologue] Essence made sure her hood was covering her face, she was on WANTED posters everywhere. She was in the Trading Market; a place where the packs could mingle and trade goods. She was contemplating stealing some chakrams when someone ran into her. "Ah, I apologize for that." Said the stranger. Essence blinked, she thought she recognized that voice. Suddenly, it clicked; she knew who this wolf was. "I know who you are." She stated. The Solis wolf looked very surprised, "You do?" He thought for a bit then smiled, "Ah, I believe I know who you are, come, we should talk somewhere quieter." Essence thought that she probably shouldn't follow someone in case they found out her secret, but whatever, she went anyway. "So." She said cautiously. "We meet again, I've actually been looking for you." Said Silvan. "Have you?" Essence said, narrowing her eyes behind her blindfold. "Mhm. I have a proposition." "And what would that be?" "You see, my father was the late alpha of the Solis Pack, and I have, naturally become the alpha, but a certain group of wolves, they call themselves the Death Claws, are trying to kill me because they believe that their leader will be a better leader than me." "What does that mean for me?" Essence asked. "Would you be my bodyguard?" Essence looked confused, "And have more wolves turn against you because your bodyguard is a murderer?" Silvan scratched his ear, "Ah. I hadn't thought about that." Suddenly, two wolves lept down from the massive apple tree, both of them lunging at Silvan. Essence snarled and jumped past one, claws raking her chest as she speed past. The injured wolf stumbled, allowing Essence to pin her down and tear off her head. The other wolf had Silvan pinned down and he was ready to kill him. Essence growled ferociously and knocked him off, then stabbed his chest with her dagger. The blood pooled onto her new cloak, staining it red. "Yes." She said. "Hm?" "I'll bodyguard you. In secret. And infiltrate the Death Claws." Silvan grinned, "Great! Then, let's head into Solis territory!"
