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.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8nV3cTqAy

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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUwdm8Lks1
"Who's there?" Airson cried, and heard his shallow voice echo among the houses.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tx0mMNsqJ
"Put that thing down." A girl walked from they alleyway, her hands raised.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg6rPmD1nV
Airson lowered his halberd and said, "Ella, what are you doing around at this time of night?"copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS5GZqPsu9
She extended her arm and pointed at the clouds, "Tonight is the full moon."copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PDRqSA1Sv
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j8EGCNkAM
"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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lOVzSo1gO
"Actually, no," She sighed then continued, "Tonight is my guardian training."copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuucFXJAVS
"Are you strong enough?" Airson joked, Ella was his age and he loved making her laugh.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAcIS6DtsH
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6okI160RgC
"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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKI64QLMhl
"Hey, I could go with you?" He said. She turned around and smiled, "Of course you can."copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp61uWq1zi
Airson smiled back and walked next to her down the alleyway.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡevs1oTLvos
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡpymi6kPDhG
"Okay," Ella said disappointedly, "see you later."copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlZfKKe4KH
Then the moon passed from behind the cloud, and Ella grasped her head.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRGvh3LKV5
"Ella, are you alright?" Airson asked, and then he realized, she was going wild.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8qlB0erWe
"Oh, no." He thought.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡD54nysBJmF
Ella started growling, and then she started turning into a giant wolf.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡapenxWjOSI
Airson saw this everyday, but knowing she was going wild made it a lot scarier.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hSooB3cC1
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cy04NkbK4
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDI7hDh5x8
Airson shoved his halberd forwards and shouted, "Back!"copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbj7U0GwEp
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡsocbUV2UYW
"More than one wild Werewolf in one night?" Airson thought, "Impossible."copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXKNwvf72g
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZntIpcOmN
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhR803yIFf
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 protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡnygqiHUmyc
"I don't know." The old General was fighting desperately, his strength failing.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJVuzDlRIq
Airson knew they couldn't win.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJrmFraKzb
"We have to retreat into the forest!" Airson screamed.copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1YLT0ccZ3
"Your right, but we can't leave the city people to be killed! We have to get to the activation bell!"copyright protection515ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4OpYDmGJO
"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.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0DffP9n8G

Then he heard the howl. The Werewolves' howl.519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGUmC5uA5q
