"Another!" Amari yelled.
".....Please Alpha I think you've had enough..." Elder Michala pleaded
"Nonsense! I'll have another!" Amari yelled again beckoning Booker to her side, the poor girl looked at me before pouring Amari some more Rum...
"The pale ones.... their Technique with this liquid.... we must have it! If Nothing else succeeds then we must have this Formula!" She said.... she's starting to spout Nonsense now! I knew she'd take the news bad but this....
"Amari please I'm sorry, I was Careless, let's... let's just talk about this..." I pleaded.
"Talk? Nonsense! we drink and celebrate! It's not everyday you sire a new Werewolf! We must celebrate! Our new kin may not be here but we mus-"
"Alpha!" I yelled.
This..... Ahhhhhhh! Haaaaah..... I walk over to her and try snatching the mug from her, she wrestles it away from me, we tussle like that until the rum spills to the floor... she growls at me like spoiled mutt...
"Amari....please we have a solution already.."
"She could be anywhere Barker!"
"We'll find her.... the swamp is a good start..."
"How? How are you so sure she's there?"
"She's supposed to be dead...."
"....what?"
"I slashed her so deep I hit her spine and she plummeted to the floor.... no human should survive that.... but she did, if she's not stupid....she'll understand why she did survive all that..."
" is Because she's no longer human...." Amari completed.
".....yes... after the fall of this city....she'll understand that humans will fear her... hate her..."
"She'll have no choice but to live in the wilderness!" We both said in unison.
"You should have checked proper that night couz," Booker inputted, I glared daggers at her and she looked to Amari.... who also glared at her.... she muttered some words and stared out the window.
".....What do we do next? Do we track the girl and Niklaus? do we go for Driftwood? Recruiting new Blood would be the wiser decision... Chief Karl, My Alpha the decision is ultimately yours...." Dorian spoke.
".....I'll, no we'll discuss it later.... for now leave us.... I need to clear my head...." Amari said.
"us?"
"Booker, Barker, Elder and Myself..."
"As you wish" Dorian said, He bowed before leaving the room.
"Alpha?" Booker muttered.
"...You bring me good news and bad news Barker.... why? why can't it be one or the other? why must they be together?" Amari babbled.
"What do you mean....?" I asked, Is she still drunk? what she's saying makes no sense....
She looks at me shocked.... the expression on her face is almost comical to be honest but all of us are just confused...
"Aren't you supposed to be the practical one?" She asked me, "I'd think you already laid out the benefits of-"
"I rampaging Abomination!? Amari your head is not clear, You're talking Nonsense!" I interrupted her, rage was start well up within Me.... I... I
She shook her head.
"We do.... not know for Certain she's an abomination..."
"She-"
"And even if she is! Even if she is..... We can use her...." Amari completed.
"Might I ask what you have in mind....?" Elder Michala asked, she arched her wrinkled brow up.
"Are you suggesting we capture it alive!?" Booker cried, horror present in her eyes.
Amari isn't that crazy.... is she?
"Her.... it's a Her Booker.... And no I don't plan on capturing her alive.... I plan on guiding her.... pointing her in the right direction...." Amari explained.
"Alpha.... you're not in your right senses! Please... Barker! Talk to her!" Booker pleaded.
"....Amari you.." I was aghast..... I couldn't believe what was coming outta her mouth, "Are you saying we should use a potential abomination to destroy human cities? A creature that has slain our Kin? That's what you're asking!?" My rage was starting to unfold, I couldn't contain it anymore.
"....My Alpha please explain your reasons..." Elder Michala said coolly, her eyes were hard.... it was rare seeing her like this.... it was unsettling really...
".....I am not going use her to destroy human cities.... I am going to use her to destroy Human armies.... it is.... a dangerous gamble but if the texts are correct.... if their strength is as fearsome as they say... their slaying her will be a waste, I say we use her before we slay her...." Amari explained.
It.... is a perfectly logical plan.... too logical, it sounds like something Rothschild would propose.... he was Elder Michala's Grandson.... we banished him from the pack ten years ago.
".....if I didn't see you down 8 bottles of Rum.... I'd think you were serious..." I muttered, my body was shaking.
"...I am..." Amari said, her eyes clear as day.... I don't know how she got sober so quickly...
"Amari..... the only way.... of this working effectively is by using our kin bait.... preferably me...." I muttered, Amari had a sad look on her face.
"I do not.... wish to sacrifice you.... I wouldn't, never! You are.... important to me.... that is why I propose an alternative that would protect you and the rest of our Kin," Amari spoke.
"What alternative?" Elder Michala asked.
"There is a way to protect yourself from an abomination and be allowed to slay it without fear of being cursed..."
"There is?" Booker asked, she tilted her head quizzically, I.... have not heard of such a thing either but it seems Elder Michala has.... she looks at Amari Pitifully.
"It is but a myth my Alpha.... A mere Legend! The temple does not..."
"It does!" Amari cut Elder Michala off.
"Care to clue us in on what you're talking about?" I asked.
"...."
"....You do not want to explain? it's your proposal," Elder Michala said, she sounded irritated.
"I think it's best coming from you..." Amari replied.
".....As you wish my Alpha..." Elder Michala resigned, she cleared her throat before speaking, Booker and I paid close attention.
"You children know of our creation at the hands of our god Fenris, do you not?" She asked, we both nodded our head, it was common knowledge afterall.
"Good..... but do you know of where it took place?"
"..."
"It took place at a place called the 'Helm of the Giants' in a temple known as 'Loki's Palace' it was one Fenris created in honour of his Father, a Trickster god...."
"Okay?"
"It is believed that if one brought the eye of Mani and a suitable sacrifice.... Fenris would grant any power the person requested..."
"And you believe this will protect us from the abomination?" I asked incredulously, I can't believe Amari of all people was requesting this-this...
"Is that why you sent Dorian away? Because you knew he'd oppose this?" Booker asked, she seemed just as perplexed as I was.
".... I sent him away because regardless of his feelings.... he'd obey my orders.... he might even hide his true feelings on the subject.... I wanted the three of you here because for better or worse.... You'd tell me how you felt about.... I trust your judgment is all I'm saying...." Amari spoke.
".....and if we refuse?" I asked.
"Then I will not go ahead with it...." She said with unease.
"What.... no.... who would go on this quest?"
"I'll leave that to you..."
".....me?"
She nodded her head.... I misliked this... this is strange for her.... very....
"I.... am not the superstitious type, I do not believe in Prophecies, Myths or Miracles, you off all people know that Barker...." She said, her blood red eyes glowed with Determination.
"But?"
"But..... everything that has happened since the emergence of the eye.... has it not been just that?" She said, I .....couldn't really disagree with her there....
"You were going to ask us this regardless of The Abomination weren't you?" I asked, she nodded her head.... "Amari...."
"Please.... I am-"
"Allow us to think it over...." Booker requested, the four of us stayed silent after that.... My.... Amari.... I don't know what to fell about this.
"Amari.... I do not approve of this plan.... but I'll think it over," I said bitterly before making my way out of the office.
