Levi stared blankly at the enormous serpent before him, trying to figure out what to say, but all he could say was "wow." he couldn't even wonder how she knew his name.

"Ambassador Victor, you were in the Lycaon group our last Chieftain's war-party captured?" Ulv asked, receiving a skeptical look from Varg "I was one of the Archers back then. Will you permit me to speak freely?" the latter he asked the Cheiftain.valerio wrote:The chieftain exchanged glanced with the crowd. The crowd looked at her, unable to come up with anything.
"I guess it's up to me, then," said a familiar voice.
A male german lycaon seemed to appear out of nowhere and bowed to the wolves. "Ambassador Victor o'Salisgrave, at your service, revered guests. Please, feel free to express your wishes and I'll make sure to help you realize them."
"Thank you." Ulv nodded "In all honesty - I do not regret any of my actions that night." The wolf spoke, without any emotion "But I assure you, Ambassador, that this won't happen again as long as I have a say about it."valerio wrote:"By all means do, new friend of our people."
Charlie cleared her throat when Balkan explained what she couldn't say to the chieftain. “Sorry…I guess I still have a few things to work out.” She spoke with a chuckle, before she saw Balkan turn and speak in his tongues. “What would I do without you Balkan…” She mumbled for a moment, placing her paw on her hip and smiling.The Moon Howler wrote:"Charlie, you can't talk like this to a Chieftain, let alone to the Chieftain of your own kin and the village we're in!"
“Well, restless is not a good thing at all.” She spoke with a smirk, excited that finally, she would be able to return back to the resort to see her father. Considering that it had been quite a few days she had been gone for, Aaron would have a fair few questions for the girl. “Let’s get going then.” She spoke, as she followed Balkan back to the helicopter.The Moon Howler wrote:"I'm afraid our 'transport' is getting restless. Come, Charlie!"
"I'm not that great," Levi said. "I think that the journey uncovered some kind of trauma I'd blocked out."valerio wrote:"Yes, or you would've perished on your first journey. Your friend chose you well, isn't that so?" her eyes moved to the space at the left of Levi
And there he was, giving the dragoness a thumbs up. "You can say that again, ma'am!" Bartholomew said
Balkan, Charlie, Ur, Vex and Dimitar got on the Helicopter. The machine lifted with a roar and headed straight for the resort. Shortly after, they were already landing on the heliport.simple things wrote:“Well, restless is not a good thing at all.” She spoke with a smirk, excited that finally, she would be able to return back to the resort to see her father.

"I know you won't. Enemies we may have been, and we both know that frictions are expected in the days to come, but you are honorable people."The Moon Howler wrote:"Thank you." Ulv nodded "In all honesty - I do not regret any of my actions that night." The wolf spoke, without any emotion "But I assure you, Ambassador, that this won't happen again as long as I have a say about it."
"Actually, that is a good thing. Your only error is to keep trying to deny that trauma, run away from it instead of facing it. That is the cause of your suffering."RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:"I'm not that great," Levi said. "I think that the journey uncovered some kind of trauma I'd blocked out."
"I'm not actively trying to deny it," Levi said. "I just can't fully recall what it was. My mind won't let me face it."valerio wrote:"Actually, that is a good thing. Your only error is to keep trying to deny that trauma, run away from it instead of facing it. That is the cause of your suffering."
"My mind is mine, and mine alone. That doesn't mean I can always tell it what to do," He responded.valerio wrote:The creature's sigh was like a powerful breeze that ruffled everyone's fur -yes, even Bart's ethereal one. Does your mind belong to someone else, Levi?"
Levi finally managed to open his eyes again and did indeed recognize Salisgrave. "Don't worry, Reg. I'm sure we'll be able to get you back in time. So, do I just... knock on the door?"valerio wrote:"Forgot already?" Bartholomew asked. "This is Salisgrave. And this should be the hut of our eldest shaman. I believe he must be the 'help' Karanta spoke about." his paw tried to pat Levi's shoulder but only managed to pass through the flesh. "Stupid incorporeality! Anyway, you haven't seen weird yet."
"Aw," Reginald said, looking around. "Mom will kill someone if I'm not back when she's back."
"I will give you my report personally, sir!" Dimitar saluted "I have some additional information you'll need to check out later. For now - I wish to be excused."valerio wrote:"Well, well, well! Looks who the doggie brought back," Spencers said. "I was expecting a stick, a bone...not a pack of wolves and a very late employee of mine. Enjoyed your vacation, Dimitar?"
"Had I intended to fight, I wouldn't be doing this right now, Mr. Spencer." Balkan replied "I am here to bring news from the wolf village and Chieftain Valken - I am bringing the news of peace."valerio wrote:The guards, humans and animals alike, looked at the warriors with uneasiness. Spencers motioned them to lower their weapons. "I have the distinct impression they are not here to fight. Am I right Balkan?"
"You don't even have a watch!" Martin exclaimed and followed Flint "Fine, lets get to Mr. Meyer!"Roarin wrote:"Eh." Flint shrugged and turned his back to Martin. "With life full of dog days, who needs respect?" He said blandly in an offhand manner. "I do stuff cause I want to. I'm not lookin for anyone's approval." The white haired dog raised his hands in the air and stretched. "I respect some people, but I'm not gonna bend over backwards just to please others." He turned back around, a grin on his face. "In the words of Frankie Sinatra. I do it 'My way!' ". Saying the last two words in an unnaturally deep, singsong voice.
After a few seconds Flint shrugged again and looked at his wrist. "Mr. Meyers is probably waiting for us. We should get goin." And started down the street without giving Martin time to answer.
Adrian wriggled out of Murphy's grasp and dropped to the ground. He stood there watching, not wanting to male some kind faux pas due to his ignorance of the culture. But it was clear that whatever was happening was important.valerio wrote:"Oh," Michael said, still without panting. "A good thing about them is that they play no trick: when they come, they do it for blood. Them rabbits, *now* there's someone tricky and sneaky!"
"There they are!" Murphy barked, stopping, Adrian still in his arm like some life-sized doll.
And there they were, indeed... Balkan and four soldiers dressed with the garments of the special guards, the finest warriors.
"By the Great Trickster..." Michael muttered, seeing their ancient enemies just standing there, calm, surrounded not by angry warriors, but other not less impressed villagers... "Is that a *lioness*?"
Near the Chieftain herself, no doubt about it! A female from the old legends, in the flesh, gorgeous as a living statue.
"Hmm?" Flint paused and looked around. "Well... it sounds... like a chopper." Flint shrugged, he couldn't see it. Probably landed on some building. "Maybe some rich guy's here to see Mr. Spencers." The dog started walking again, his curiosity of the noise quickly dismissed from his mind. "C'mon let go."The Moon Howler wrote:"You don't even have a watch!" Martin exclaimed and followed Flint "Fine, lets get to Mr. Meyer!"
He stopped in place the moment the helicopter could be heard "What's that?"
"Last I heard, Levi was spending the night on the other side of the island with a new friend," Diana replied.valerio wrote:Virgil hopped off Bigby's mouth. "I'm happy you decided t'join da residents. But..." he looked around. "No pets with ya?"
(OOC: warning: while I did not get graphic with my descriptions of anything as per forum rules, the spoilered paragraph may still prove distressing to some audiences, as it does include a failed attempt to take a life.

And he was alone.
In the dark.
Walking in shallow, cold waters, a sloshing sound all around him.
And there was no door anymore.
Martin ran to Flint and put a paw on his shoulder "We must meet Mr. Meyer first!" the shepherd said.Roarin wrote:"Hmm?" Flint paused and looked around. "Well... it sounds... like a chopper."

"We are raised to follow honor the moment we're first fed by our mothers milk." Varg spoke "And although our honor was twisted until recently, we will raise our youth with the stories of our ancestors, with the stories of their honor so that they one day would become honor-bound warriors and cunning hunters. Such is the way of the wolves."valerio wrote:"I know you won't. Enemies we may have been, and we both know that frictions are expected in the days to come, but you are honorable people."
Balkan shook his head "With all due respect, Mr. Spencer, but I cannot afford to participate in yet another celebration for the occasion..." the half-wolf spoke "Although I have an Idea - if you don't mind of course - you could make a party along with the lycaons of the Salisgrave." he looked at Charlie and grinned "And also I have a girl that would like to finally get home."valerio wrote:At Balkan's words, Spencer's eyes brightened. "This deserves indeed a heart-to-heart, my canine friend. Please, let us go to my suite. Do any of you wish for food and drinks to celebrate these fine news?"
Flint grumbled something incoherent under his breath in response to the employees remark.The Moon Howler wrote:Just behind the corner though a resort employee came, running "I'll take it you're Flint and Martin." the young man said, pointing at Flints neck "The collar says it all" the man shook his head
The dog opened his mouth to make a snark comment that would go along the lines of "i don't take orders from you.", but decided he'd save it for another time.The Moon Howler wrote: "Anyway, you two are to come with me to meet Mr. Meyer and The Boss on the heliport ASAP! After me, please!" the young employee pointed behind him, then turned and headed back fast.
"Okay, so two birds with one shot... Come, Flint!" Martin said and followed the employee.
Heh, I don't know about that. But nonetheless I'm glad I'm here to see it.valerio wrote:Michael's paw went behind the corgi's neck.
"One day, a scene like this will be common, our descendants will take it for granted. But now..." His voice was breaking, as tears misted his eyes.
"This is history," Murphy continued. "One day we'll tell our cubs that we have seen the end of this absurd war."
Michael chuckled. "Yeah. And they will look at us and mock the old geezers." He bent down and kissed Adrian's cheek. "It was as if you were supposed to be here, with us, in this sacred day."
Virgil looked at Tacite and whispered. "Is he awesome? The human, I mean."RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:"Last I heard, Levi was spending the night on the other side of the island with a new friend," Diana replied.
"He's actually the reason we've got a job here in the first place. Apparently he helped with some important stuff the other day. Oh, and he apparently helped find the remains of a lost citizen of Salisgrave in the same day. That's my boy, being awesome like his daddy," Drake said before Diana slapped the back of his head.
Steps answered his brave words. Steps, approaching him, as a shadow emerged from the shadows. A figure made of dark and red evil eyes...a human figureRandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:...He stood up out of the water, drying his tears. "YOU HEAR THAT!? I WON'T LET THIS STUPID FEAR RULE MY LIFE ANY MORE!"
Victor motioned four females to come forward. "In this case, my friends, allow me to prepare the road to such tales, by giving you the chance to share blood and build the future new generations, stronger than ever."The Moon Howler wrote:"We are raised to follow honor the moment we're first fed by our mothers milk." Varg spoke "And although our honor was twisted until recently, we will raise our youth with the stories of our ancestors, with the stories of their honor so that they one day would become honor-bound warriors and cunning hunters. Such is the way of the wolves."
Ulv grinned "Perhaps we'll be able to learn something from the Lycaons as well or the other way around."
Spencers nodded. "I wasn't thinking of a party, my boy: only, a...more suitable place where to elaborate the details concerning this much unexpected development. Particularly, the role of our scientists, not to mention the tourism. The Green Ring Circle was a no-no area until...what, yesterday?The Moon Howler wrote:Balkan shook his head "With all due respect, Mr. Spencer, but I cannot afford to participate in yet another celebration for the occasion..." the half-wolf spoke "Although I have an Idea - if you don't mind of course - you could make a party along with the lycaons of the Salisgrave." he looked at Charlie and grinned "And also I have a girl that would like to finally get home."
Dimitar simply went past them in a hurry, nevertheless saluting before doing so. He knew that Mr. Spencer was a very accurate man, so he had to hurry with the report... and the double duty shift changes he had to make for himself to make up for the lost hours.
"And we are too--Ohh, Vic is already offering blood to our guests."Seth wrote:Heh, I don't know about that. But nonetheless I'm glad I'm here to see it.
Adrian looked on completely engrossed by the spectacle. Offering blood? What's that mean?valerio wrote:"And we are too--Ohh, Vic is already offering blood to our guests."Seth wrote:Heh, I don't know about that. But nonetheless I'm glad I'm here to see it.
Murphy grinned, elbowing his brother. "Lucky gals. Wish *we* could."
Levi turned to the figure, but there was no fear in his eyes. Only pure hatred and rage.valerio wrote:Steps answered his brave words. Steps, approaching him, as a shadow emerged from the shadows. A figure made of dark and red evil eyes...a human figure
"Listen to you. Lying to yourself." the thing spoke with a cold, unforgiving voice, filled with scorn. "You know the truth and that's why it scares you so much. *you* should be gone, and your mother should be alive. no matter how hard you try to deny it, your mind knows the truth."
" So does this mean you guys are at peace now? Just like that? I mean it sounds like this bad blood has been building for a while.valerio wrote:Both brothers giggled.
"It means," Michael explained, "that our tribe will seal the pact by conceiving the wolves' cubs. There is nothing as important as the new blood, for each of the three tribes of Tricana."
