It was a beautiful summer day for this small village on the side of the mountains. A family that lives in this town is about to have a day they won't forget in a long time.
"Make sure not to get lost!" said the family's father. his name is Fluch Zauberer.
"Take care!" said the mother of the family. Her name is Daisy Zauberer.
"We will!" said the family's younger daughter in an energetic tone. her name is Sofie Zauberer.
"We will be back in no time." said the family's Eldest Son in a calm authoritarian way. His name is Simon Zauberer.
Simon and Sofie were on their way to do an errand for their family. They were to pick up a package for their father's work. Their father is a wizard who works with the city as a professional wizard in the region's army. Their mother is a mage who also helps the region's military but as a healing mage.
As Simon and Sofie picked up the package and were about to leave, a group of gang people started surrounding them.
"My, my, what a cute little girl." Said the gang's leader.
"I might make her my little BITCH!" said the gang leader while grinning.
"STOP THAT!" Yelled Simon to the gang leader.
"Huh, who is this nerd?" asked the gang leader to his crew.
"I don't know." said a member of the gang.
"Maybe it's a sibling or boyfriend?" told a different gang member to the leader.
"Get away from my sister!" yelled Simon.
"What are you going to do, huh?" says the gang leader to Simon.
"Brother..." said the Sofie in a sad tone.
"Don't worry, sister, I will protect you no matter what," said Simon.
"Oh really, you think you can protect your pathetic sister?" said the Gang leader.
"HEY!" Yelled someone from a distance.
It's a boy who looks around Simon's age. he has darker skin than Simon and Sofie but has a part of his head where it's a lighter skin on the top left of his face, and he looks to be a half-human half-wolf type of a child.
"HUUH?? Who the hell do you think you are?" asks The gang leader to the wolf-boy.
"Leave those kids alone. If you want a fight, THEN FIGHT ME," said the wolf-boy.
"Don't underestimate me, kid. I can kick your butt harder than you-." says the Gang leader, but before he can finish, the wolf-boy runs up, jumps, and stomp kicks the leader in the face.
"Oi Boss." said one of the gang members.
"Boss, are you okay?" asks another gang member.
"If you want me to kick your asses like I did your leader, then be my guest. If you want to get your ass kicked, I suggest running," says the wolf-boy to the gang members.
The gang members start running, and one of them carries their leader before running off.
The wolf-boy turns around and asks Simon, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. So is my sister," replies Simon to The wolf-boy.
"What's your name?" asks Simon.
"I'm Urufu, and what is the name of the two of you?." replied Urufu.
"I'm Simon," replied Simon.
"And this is my sister Sofie," said Simon
"I wanted to ask, do you have a place I could stay at?" asked Urufu to Simon
"Yes, I live pretty close to here. I can introduce you to my Mother and Father. They are both magic users." said Simon
"Magic?" asks Urufu
"Mommy is a mage, and Daddy is a wizard. They are both cool. Brother and I are trying to learn magic as well." said Sofie
"Ahh, okay," Replied Urufu.
The three of them start walking back to the Zauberer household. Once they arrived, Sofie began to run inside with the package.
"DADDY! WE ARE HOME!" Yelled Sofie while running to their father.
"Welcome home. Thanks for picking up the package." said the father before pausing and looking at Urufu, who looked nervous standing next to Simon.
"Oh? and who might you be?" Asked the father while looking at Urufu.
"I-im... Ur..URUFU!" Said Urufu while thinking that it had been ten years since he last socialized with anyone outside that horrible factory.
"Urufu, huh? So your name means Wolfboy." said the father curiously
"Urufu saved us from a gang from harming us," said Simon while being happy that he and his sister were able to survive the whole ordeal.
"Oh really? Well, thank you so much, Urufu. I should properly introduce myself." said the father, looking relieved that the wolf-boy saved his kids in front of him.
"I'm Fluch. I'm a wizard from the local military," said Fluch to Urufu.
"Thank you so much. I'm Daisy. It's nice to meet you, Urufu." said the Mother of the house, Daisy.
"Say, Urufu. where do you live?" asked Fluch curiously
"I-I don't have a real home. I used to live in this weird factory for most of my life up until recently," replied Urufu, scared to see Fluch's reaction.
"Oh? and what happened?" asked Fluch while getting more curious.
"It's nothing special. one night, I fell asleep in the factory, and the next morning, I woke up far away from the factory covered in blood," replied Urufu.
"Fascinating... Do you know why or what happened?" asked Fluch.
"That is the thing. I don't have a clue about what happened," replied Urufu worryingly.
"hmm... say, Urufu, was it? How about you stay overnight so I can see what the problem is," asks Fluch to Urufu.
"Wait, he can?" asks Simon while being surprised by the question
"Yeah, I want to see for myself what Urufu is because something like this is never heard of for me," said Fluch smiling.
"YIPPE" yelled Sofie happily.
"This is getting kind of exciting," said Simon while happy that their new friend could stay over.
The day kept passing as Urufu spent the time with the family, either helping the parents do chores or playing with Simon and Sofie. However, when dusk hits. They were about to learn what Urufu indeed was.
The father was preparing some spells just in case something terrible happened. The mother also prepared some spells if Fluch's magic didn't work. Meanwhile, Simon and Sofie were just enjoying their time with Urufu, but both were curious about what Urufu indeed was. Once night hit, they were ready.
"Alright, Urufu. are you ready?" asked Fluch.
"I guess, I just don't you to die..." replied Urufu.
"Don't worry about it. I have been a wizard for over 20 years. I think I can handle whatever the problem is." replied Fluch confidentially.
Urufu stood directly under a tree for a while, but when Fluch didn't get any results, he told Urufu, "Hey, try to stand under direct moonlight, maybe that has something to do with it."
"Yeah, I can try that," said Urufu while waking away from the tree.
As Urufu got exposed to the moonlight, he started to spasm and scream out in pain. Fluch realized at that moment that the Moonlight was the reason he went rogue. Simon, Sofie, and Daisy watched from inside the house as Urufu was slowly transforming from Human into this shining mythical-looking Wolf.
"I see... I fully understand Urufu!" said Fluch as he realized what Urufu was.
Urufu, who turned into this Mythical wolf, turns around and looks at Fluch and starts running towards him, looking for bloodshed.
"Dad n-!" yelled Sofie before Simon held her mouth shut.
"I don't think we should interfere with dad's work," said Simon.
Fluch starts to move his wand around and yells "Habere reliquum," which activates a spell that hits the Wolf that puts it to sleep.
After Fluch activated the sleep spell, the wolf did nothing for the entire night besides sleeping. When dawn hit, Urufu turned back to normal and woke up confused and concerned. Before he could say a word, Fluch walked outside to check on Urufu.
"Are you back to normal?" asked Fluch to Urufu."What do you mean?" asked Urufu back to Fluch.
"What happened? Are the others okay?" asked Urufu worried.
"Don't worry, everyone is fine," replied Fluch.
"I will tell you more once everyone is awake. I think everyone should learn what I found about your form," said Fluch.
"Form, huh? I guess it's more serious than I thought. Alright! I can wait." replied Urufu, trying to understand what was happening.
After everyone woke up and Sofie cried over the fact, she got scared that either Fluch or Urufu would have died. They were all sat down so Fluch could explain what Urufu is.
"So as we all saw besides Urufu himself. When exposed to moonlight, Urufu turns into a wolf that shines very brightly," said Fluch to everyone.
"Wait, what? Really?" replied Urufu, confused but also concerned.
"Yeah! It was beautiful, yet terrifying," said Sofie.
"It looked very mythical," said Simon.
"Shining, mythical, and wolf? I'm just glad everyone is fine," replied Urufu, relieved.
"When Urufu turns into this wolf, he loses all forms of control over it. However, I believe he can learn to control it with some practice," said Fluch.
"Okay, so you think he can control it?" asked Simon.
"Yes, I do believe so. I think Urufu's conditions for these powers and its looks, I would say Urufu is a Werewolf!" said Fluch confidentially.
"A werewolf?" asked Urufu.
"How do you know he's a werewolf?" asked Simon to Fluch.
"Well, I have read upon werewolves, and I think Urufu fits the descriptions. Werewolves are more active on the nights where the moons are almost full to when the moon is a full one, and tonight's moon was almost full, so I think the powers work but not to their absolute best," said Fluch.
"So what's your idea with this all. You speculated what Urufu is, and what will you do with this information?" asked Simon curiously.
"Urufu! Do you want to be among the Zauberer family as a member?" asked Fluch, which made everyone surprised.
"WHAT?" Yelled Sofie, surprisingly happy
"Wait, wait, wait... Are you sure about making Urufu a brother?" asked Simon.
"Do you not want Urufu as a brother?" asked Fluch.
"That is not what I meant. I wouldn't mind him as a brother. But what's your reasoning behind it?" asked Simon confused.
"Having Urufu as a family member gives me more reason to study his unique werewolf powers. Besides, I don't think he has anywhere to go. So what do you say, Urufu? Do you want to join our family?" asked Fluch to Urufu.
"I wouldn't mind," replied Urufu while smiling, happy that he finally found people who cared for him.
"What about the problem with him turning into a werewolf when exposed to moonlight? he can't just hide from moonlight forever," asked Simon
"I have an idea. What if I made a coat that not only hides his body from moonlight but also has the option to remove the top and turn into the wolf in an emergency?" suggested Daisy to everyone.
"That's a great idea. A moonlight repellent coat sounds like a great idea. This allows Urufu not to have to worry about moonlight as well. Good suggestion, honey." said Fluch to Daisy.
"How about we celebrate tonight and welcome Urufu to the Zauberer family?" asked Fluch. Everyone cheered at the idea. This marks the day Urufu went from Urufu to Urufu. Zauberer.
And for months, Urufu was a part of the Zauberer family, and he was seen as a 3rd son and the family's protector during errands due to his unnatural strength even when he's not in the Werewolf form. If any creature or human tried to harm his family, Urufu defended them with honor.
During those months when Urufu was a part of the family, he also helped Simon and Sofie learn magic. Simon decided to follow in his mother's footsteps and learned healing and cure magic to help Urufu if he got seriously damaged. Meanwhile, Sofie decided to learn elemental and combat magic because she got motivated that day Flutch put Urufu's werewolf form into sleep with ease.
However, one day when Urufu, Simon, and Sofie were on an extended errand mission that lasted until dusk When they were returning from the task, they saw smoke from where the house is at. This is strange since they usually don't ignite the fireplace until past dusk. However, when they saw the house, they saw the house burning with no sign of Fluch or Daisy...
"What... Happened?" asked Simon while all three looked shocked.
