In the great city Arion, the piercing full moon was hidden by a cloud, and the peasants slept in their beds. There was only a handful of Sentries around the castle gates; they were not expecting an attack.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgYSkvS6iD

Sir Airson, captain of the night patrol walked among the houses, his halberd- a spear with an axe head- across his soldier. He was eighteen, very muscular and tall for his age and was respected among the knights of the castle. He had long blonde hair, large jaw, and a crooked nose. He stopped as he heard a slight noise from an alley. He grabbed his halberd and approached the alley.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhX6DUpI7
"Who's there?" Airson cried, and heard his shallow voice echo among the houses.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHiTmUnrcO
"Put that thing down." A girl walked from they alleyway, her hands raised.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49WNNE0QPY
Airson lowered his halberd and said, "Ella, what are you doing around at this time of night?"copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡHisZfzCaZl
She extended her arm and pointed at the clouds, "Tonight is the full moon."copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy2AsouQQH
Airson wasn't worried by this at all, it was rare that a werewolf would turn wild at the full moon. The last time it had happened was a few years back. Werewolves turned into beasts of course, but they could usually control it.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVRBIEgIu5
"Going to the werewolves' watch?" Airson asked. The watch was a manor, a small castle with a flat roof on top. Every full moon werewolves came from many different cities to get a good look.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcn9bDJOOI
"Actually, no," She sighed then continued, "Tonight is my guardian training."copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96hbGJzbzq
"Are you strong enough?" Airson joked, Ella was his age and he loved making her laugh.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡSelJQ3n6MS
She stepped closer to him and said, "I am the best there." She smiled and looked at the almost full moon. "I should be going now," she backed away and headed towards the local barracks.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡct5ADgdm52
"Dang, she looks beautiful." Airson thought. Her very long brown hair fell to below her waist as she walked. He pictured her long eyelashes, her piercing green eyes, and a smile playfully stretched across her face.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e8lpO5ZZE
"Hey, I could go with you?" He said. She turned around and smiled, "Of course you can."copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRTLBKPYRB
Airson smiled back and walked next to her down the alleyway.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡR35WDIdR4i
After a few minutes of silence, they saw the barracks, Airson stepped back and looked at the moon, "I should continue my patrol," he said.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9w1uWPzWP
"Okay," Ella said disappointedly, "see you later."copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡemG87hTWgK
Then the moon passed from behind the cloud, and Ella grasped her head.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8NE5rniir
"Ella, are you alright?" Airson asked, and then he realized, she was going wild.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcA8d543F0
"Oh, no." He thought.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTnz2uRVr8
Ella started growling, and then she started turning into a giant wolf.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0gtElU1Ec
Airson saw this everyday, but knowing she was going wild made it a lot scarier.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfp4nC9sGP
Her fingernails started turning themselves into fangs, hair started to grow all over her body. Her nose and mouth turned into a snout, and then she lunged at Airson.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzIQ9Kl0GM
Airson grabbed his halberd and swung it, it hit Ella right on the nose... "Ella," he thought, "try not to use her name." The werewolf stumbled backwards and whimpered.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lNpOsKJup
Airson shoved his halberd forwards and shouted, "Back!"copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXEl22YcvE
The werewolf however, had no such idea. It leapt forwards, and picked up Airson like a ragdoll. The beast threw Airson into the barracks wall, and he heard growling coming from the door...and scratching.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YdKPnvanb
"More than one wild Werewolf in one night?" Airson thought, "Impossible."copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwxKVldG5H
Then the door opened, and about twenty werewolves stumbled out, minds completely lost. Airson took his best bet, and ran. He ran up onto the gatehouse wall and rang the alarm bell. A werewolf jumped at him and he threw his halberd. It hit the beast in the snout and it fell to the ground. Airson drew his sword and ran. He jumped off the wall and ignored the flare of pain in his legs. He limped towards the nearest house and locked the door.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51FKnHMlTi
Then he heard screams, and smelled smoke. He ran out the door and charged towards the nearest werewolf. As it lunged he sidestepped and brought his sword down on it's neck.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVgdF6AagY
Airson saw the high commander of the soldiers fighting the werewolves, it was three against one. Airson ran forwards to help him but a werewolf leapt at him. Airson ducked and kept running. He plunged his sword into one of the werewolf's hide, but it looked unharmed. Airson plunged it further, but the werewolf fought desperately against Airson's strength. Airson pulled his sword out of the werewolf's side and plunged it into the wolf's throat. He ran over to the general and shouted over the hubbub, "What happened to the guardians? I thought they were supposed to PROTECT the seven kingdoms. Not invade them!"copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡleuSZqec6k
"I don't know." The old General was fighting desperately, his strength failing.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡTclyWIgJ3a
Airson knew they couldn't win.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡ135ihKoRVF
"We have to retreat into the forest!" Airson screamed.copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgTk9SKo4R
"Your right, but we can't leave the city people to be killed! We have to get to the activation bell!"copyright protection177ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY33x0MNKQ
"Leave it to me." Airson sprinted past werewolves and knights as he ran towards the gate. Then Ella the werewolf leaped in front of him. Airson slid in-between her legs and kept running. His lungs screamed at him, but he kept running. His legs begged in pain, but he ignored them and kept running. His head told him to stop, but he kept running. He ran up the wall ladder and rang the bell, creating a piercing sound. Airson ran past the gatehouse, the general right behind him. Then he looked back and saw the city in flames, all because of the werewolves that pledged to protect them, and Ella.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgoRjt27W5

Then he heard the howl. The Werewolves' howl.181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5XQ7a028x
