Chereads / Luna of the woodland / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

At Vladius the terrible's command about a dozen of silverback wolves charge towards the sentinels going to seek reinforcements at Alpha Klaudius'command, with blood thirst in their eyes. Growling and brandishing blood and fur stained fangs and claws.

"Run, run to Karlon, get help, quick, may the moon goddess protect you!" Alpha Klaudius manages to shout at the running sentinels as he wreathes in pain under the oak, feeling himself die bit by bit as the seconds pass.

Alpha Klaudius's sons are stuck between helping their dying father or helping the sentinels on errand against the dozen charging silverback werewolves.

"Kill them, kill them, don't let them leave the clearing, our business here is done, they must not see daylight," Vladius the terrible says to his wolves.

"Don't stand there looking at me, go help them you fools, I'll be fine,I am fine," Alpha Klaudius charges his sons. All three of Alpha Klaudius' Sons charge towards woodland meesengers and their silverback attackers.

The eldest and strongest of Alpha Klaudius' sons lunges at two silverback wolves at a time, catches one in the throat, and the other gets a slight scratch on the torso as they try to lunge back and counter attack. The other two sons of Alpha Klaudius run into the space between the woodland wolves and the Silverbacks and act as walls between the attackers and the defenders.

Alpha Klaudius'first son takes a blow to the rib, he strikes back, growls and throws one of his attackers on the rocky ground, he yelps in pain, he bites another one on the ear and another gets four slashes on the jaw line as he slaps him acorss the face, he yelps and runs behind the attacking line to nurse his wounds. Alpha Klaudius' first son first son is not stopping to rest, he charges at the attacking line, two of the dozen Silverback wolves are now dead on the clearing floor in a pool of their own blood, their claws untightened.

Two other silverback wolves are nursing very serious, almost fatal injuries and as a result can't charge and attack, instead they stay behind the attacking line and defend where they can.

As Alpha Klaudius' sons battle their formerly a dozen but now ten attackers, the woodland messengers make for the forest beyond the clearing safely, in a bid to go get reinforcements at the command of their dying Alpha, Alpha Klaudius.

Alpha Klaudius' sons drop three more of their silverback attackers out of the former dozen, the remaining eight silverback wolves call for reinforcements with a loud hunt, fear in their daunted howls. Half a dozen Delta wolves charge towards where the former dozen Silverbacks were fighting and lunge at Alpha Klaudius'sons. The Alpha's sons step back to recoup, call for reinforcements but get no response to their howl.

Alpha Klaudius' sons look a round and see that they are greatly outnumbered, there is about four silverback wolves charging around the clearing for every woodland werewolf in the clearing, the male wolves are almost all dead or too injured to continue, even those who try to escape away from the clearing into the forest are charged after and brought to their back with sharp fangs and teeth by silverback wolves. The speed and agility of the silverback wolves seem to be three times faster than that of the woodland wolves.

Vladius the terrible breaks into a huge roar-like howl, this seems to charge something into the Silverback wolves as they become even faster and more agile, dropping woodland wolf after woodland wolf with one swift movement of their paws, charging into the cabins and tents to kill families of female wolves and pups except they swear their allegiance to Alpha Vladius the terrible.

Alpha Klaudius' sons charge towards the part of the clearing where the battle is hottest, charging past their dead father and towards their mother's cabin , Alpha Klaudius' Luna was in the heat of the battle in the midst of Silverback wolves, fighting for the survival of her family and the whole woodland pack.

She was not the reason her sons were charging towards her cabin, they had seen some silverback wolves led by their Alpha, Vladius the terrible as they entered into the cabin destroying everything in sight, from the torch stand to furniture.

The reason Alpha Klaudius' sons are weary about that move is that a young pup who was not part of the battle was hiding in there, the very reason why Alpha Klaudius kept fighting only at that part of the clearing, never ever straying too far away from the Luna's cabin in a bid to protect his only female pup.

Now Alpha Klaudius lies dead near the Luna's cabin, the sun is rising slowly; reddish orange as it burns blood flames to commemorate the blood of the fallen at the battle of woodland clearing.

Kourtney, Alpha Klaudius' only female pup screams as the company of silverback wolves destructively make their presence known to her inside her mother's cabin. Kourtney's creams for help distracts her mother, the Luna, who is in the heat of battle fighting off three huge silverback wolves who are taunting and toying with her instesd of trying to outrightly kill her. They know she and her pack are grossly outnumbered and there is no redemption for she and her pack.

They run circles around her, " go ahead howl for help, maybe your Alpha will send his army of a

Oaks to your rescue," the taunt and laugh loudly like jackals would do, one would almost think it's jackals or hyenas or at least foxes if they don't see the silverback wolves and just use their ears to judge. They keep taunting the Luna, faking blows and punches, she ducks but when she comes back up a real punch hits her on the face and draws a mixture of blood and fur.

The pup, Kourtney keeps screaming front the Luna's cabin, seeking help from her pack fighting outside. Her creams keep distracting the Luna and she pays Les attention to her taunters and focus more on the cabin and her screaming pup.
