[ooc] So I don't have to say that they are whispering all the time, I'll tell you right now, Fang and Mizuki are whispering.


KARMA! No leave me! Pwease? PWEASEY PWEASE?! Look who you're leaving me with![/ooc]

Fang: "What's wrong, Mizuki? Did you space out?"
Mizuki: "No... it's... nothing. Let's just listen. The mages look about ready to speak."

Indeed, they were about to speak. Each one of the mages stood up, looked proud, and was obviously prepared to kill. Lapine stepped off of her pillow, and everyone (mages and the community) sat and looked at her. One of the Elder werewolves was shivering.

Lapine: "Greetings, peasants." Everyone stirred.
"We have come here today to ask you something. Have we been cruel towards you? Did we ever once strike someone without reason?"
A murmur moved across the werewolves, which made Lapine step forward to stop it.
Lapine: "If I don't remember well, we are the ones who have been helping you survive for so many years now. So, we have come to ask you something of more importance then your life."

Lapine stepped down, and Emilio got up.

Emilio: "What we want from you, is some information. According to our scouts, 2 beings have entered the village, and only one of them was here before. The other one to enter this place, was a human!"

Some people began whispering, while others looked at each other in fear or confusion. Only the two Elder Werewolves from before went on without changing their look. Durageo stood up.

Durageo: "This human is a complete outsider, and could ruin the entire village if we let it prosper. However, we do not want the human dead. What we want is information on the human, or the human itself....Alive! This is extremely important, because if we allow such a pest to continue to roam in this village, we could be found out by millions and millions of other humans! Do we want this?"

Werewolf: "Why not let them find us? They walk, talk, and eat, just like us! They are able to interact, and fight... and in doing so, defend themselves. So they could fit in just fine."

Lapine: "Do you actually believe that the humans will accept you? They destroy what they hate, and deny what they can't. They are like little tornadoes that head into any place they please... and then they destroy anything within range, just trying to kill you. They are very unfriendly creatures, who no one here should try to befriend if they enjoy life."

Werewolf: "I don't believe you!"
Lapine: "What?!"
Werewolf: "I think you're just telling us this because you don't want us to steer away from your ruling."

Lapine siezed the Werewolf by the neck. The werewolf struggled to get free, but could not, and in response to tightening squeeze, he kicked at Lapine. Lapine glared at him, and he screamed a blood curdling scream of terror and pain. His skin was beginning to droop, as if he were getting very old. Mizuki just about jumped up, but Fang held her down. The werewolf's skin never stopped drooping... until it fell off altogether. Mizuki felt deathly sick.

Lapine: "Let that be a lesson to anyone who wishes to go against our wisdom. Remember.... we're doing this for YOU!"
Durageo: "Now, with that being said, we shall leave you all. Now, what do we do if we see a human?"
Everyone except the mages: "We either capture, or get information on them."
Durageo: "Very good. Keep this up, and you might actually get rain today.."

The mages got up, and moved away to their temples. As soon as they disappeared, every Werewolf got up and walked away, leaving the dead body to rot on the ground. Mizuki held her stomach, and stared into the sky with tears flowing. She began to hope everyone else wasn't going through this...

(Talking out loud)
Fang: "Mizuki, are you ok?"
Mizuki: "Yes.. it's just.."
Fang: "I know the death was gruesome and horrible, but we couldn't do anything."
Mizuki: "No.... the mages are without mercy, or thought of others. It's impossible to have such self-centeredness. Just thinking about it makes me mad."
Fang: "...."
Mizuki: *wiping her eyes* "But it doesn't matter now. Let's go stop them."
Fang: "Alright."
Mizuki: "...But first, let's bury the Werewolf. He deserves a proper burial."
Fang: "...."

Mizuki got up, and using her magic, picked up the werewolf's body. She carried the werewolf to a spot far away from the village, and into a graveyard that Fang brought her to. After Fang dug a fresh hole in the ground, proper to the size of the Werewolf, Mizuki lowered the body inside. Fang buried the body, and then Mizuki and Fang prayed for the bodies safe trip to the heavens. After ten minutes of praying, Fang stopped, and soon Mizuki did. Mizuki finally got up, and Fang took her to the tent of the Village Elder again. Mizuki and Fang walked in, and stopped, shocked at what they saw. On the floor, the Elder wolf was lying, dead, with blood all over the floor near his body. There was no blood on his body, yet, there were no doubts to the fact that he was dead, and the blood came from him. Mizuki looked around, and saw no one around. She walked up to the Elder wolf's body and began searching him. Fang reproached this.

Fang: "What are you doing?"
Mizuki: "I'm looking to see how he died."
Fang: "Why?"
Mizuki: "A little earlier, I remembered seeing him shiver. It was something I would never expect from anyone, especially on a day like this."
Fang: "He was probably scared, there was no way he could be sick."
Mizuki: "How do you know?"
Fang: "He didn't show any sign of being sick while we were talking to him."
Mizuki: "It could have been inflicted... like a magic spell, or injection."
Fang: "How could that be? The only ones in this village that can cast magic are the mages and yourself, and there is no one who could know how to make injections to kill someone."
Mizuki: "Ok then. How did he die, and where did the blood come from?"
Fang: "I don't know, and I don't want to know. I only know that it has happened and we can't do anything about it now."
Mizuki: "Look, let me just see if I can find a source of his death, ok?"
Fang: "....Ok, fine."

Mizuki smiled, but frowned on the dead body as she searched it. She looked all over his chest and stomach, and the legs and feet (while staying away from certain areas) before turning over the body. Mizuki felt the werewolf's back. It felt as rough as a rock, yet was wet. Mizuki looked closely at his back, and saw little ice shards all over it, and for some reason, some of the fur was singed. Mizuki began to wonder, when someone entered the tent. It was a female werewolf carrying a pot of water, and when she saw the Elder Wolf on the floor with Mizuki sitting next to him, she screamed.

Werewolf: "OH MY GOD! THE ELDER HAS BEEN MURDERED! SOMEBODY, QUICK, A HUMAN HAS KILLED THE ELDER!"
Mizuki: "What? I did no such thing!"
Fang: "Not now, Mizuki. We've got to get out of here, NOW!"
Mizuki: "But.."
Fang: "NOW!"

Mizuki heard footsteps outside, and Fang grabbed her arm. She looked at Fang, and saw some fear. She finally sighed, closed her eyes, and they disappeared. When the rest of the village came, the Female werewolf started.

Witness: "I saw who killed the Elder! It was the human that the mages warned us about!"
Werewolf 1: "Are you sure?"
Witness: "She was standing over his body when I came in, and another werewolf was with her!"
Werewolf 2: "A werewolf?!"
Werewolf 3: "Who?"
Witness: "I believe his name was Fang!"
Werewolf 1: "Fang?! But he left the village!"
Werewolf 2: "Did we ever know why he left?"
Witness: "No, we didn't!"
Werewolf 1: "So he could have come back just to kill him with a human as an accomplice?"
Werewolf 3: "Right!"
Werewolf 4: "We should tell the mages about this!"
Emilio: "Someone has already brought me over. Now tell me, what is this about?"
Witness: "A werewolf and a human have killed the elder!"
Emilio: (intrigued) "Really? Are you sure?"
Witness: "I saw them myself!"
Emilio: "Well, where are they now?"
Witness: "They disappeared!"
Emilio: "hm.... So what did the human look like?"
Witness: "It was a female, and she had long, green hair. She wore strange clothes that looked like robes, except they were not robes, as it covered her whole body. She wore only green and pink. For some reason, her bosom had a slight protrudence, which could have been what she used to kill the elder."
Emilio: (serious) "Did she have... Green eyes that were like emeralds?"
Witness: (surprised) "Yes.....How...did you know?"
Emilio: (hidden anger) "It was just a guess. Now, about the werewolf, who was it?"
Werewolf 1: "It was Fang!"
Emilio: "Fang?"
Werewolf 3: "Yes, Fang."
Emilio: "...hm...." *get's up* "Well, you take care of the body, while I go and converse with the rest of the mages. This is very serious."

Emilio walked out of the tent, and the werewolves immediately began mourning over the loss of their Elder. Their mourning, however, did not make them overlook their anger for the human and the Werewolf who were responsible for this...

[ooc] Oh, and Tantum, I must say, you guys weren't supposed to even be able to contact me. But, hey, why not? You changed everyone elses stories, why not change mine while you're at it? (Sarcasm dripping from each pixel of the letters) Don't bother changing it back though. I already changed it,
Just.
For.
You. [/ooc]
