Chapter 4 - SHIFTERS

In a different place, inside a small room, two days had passed and finally Mr Roshi opens his eyes . He looks around the room trying to identify his surrounding. Confirming that it is inside his house, he is about wake up and look for Lion when he recalls a dream he had had while sleeping. Lost in the image of the dream, he fails to notice Lion walking inside.

"Hey there bro, you are finally awake"

" "

"Roshi?... Roshi??"

" "

"Ooh not again man!" Failure to get a response, Lion is about to turn in a hurry and call the doctor.

"Yes dude" Mr Roshi replied with a smile.

"Are you out of your mind? You want to give me an heart attack now? Who do you think..." 

"I'm sorry man, don't worry about me, I'm super fine" he said with a broad smile.

Lion stared at him in disbelief. It has been ages since Mr Roshi looked this happy.

' what good can come out of 24hours sleep? Why is he smiling like a fool? Oh no! Is he running mad now?? ' just as he was about yo make a call, the doctor entered the room.

He had given Mr Roshi an injection to calm his mind and fed him sleeping pills. He also had tried to lower his high blood pressure. As expected, Mr Roshi had just woken up and he was so glad his treatment was effective.

"Give him light meal and plenty of water, he ordered"

While eating, Mr Roshi was all smiles. The two men seated beside him couldn't help but wonder what is happening. They wanted to be grateful that their friend is finally happy but the fear that something is wrong with him overpowered them.

'i've given so many patients a mind calming injection but none woke up this happy... What is happening in that mind of his?'

"Good heavens!"

"What is it doctor?"

'His mind is not breaking down, is it? He can't be running mad, could he? Or is it the..'

"Doctor!" Lion interrupted his thoughts.

"Shut up Lion," the doctor answered. He was finding this situation absolutely abnormal.

" ..eeeh.. Ro.. Roshi, is something the matter?" Asked the doctor. With anticipation, they both looking at Mr Roshi hoping to get a lead buh he only gave them a smile and continued eating.

Unaware of the worry catching up with the other men in the room, Mr Roshi keeps fantasizing about a girl he saw in his dreams. White skin, hair so dark, brown eyes and pointed ears. Never in his life has he seen such an entrapping girl. Her legs were strong but so smooth. He wished to go back to Dreamland and hold her hand. Suddenly his mood became sour. He realized that dreams are not real. The atmosphere became thick, his face fierce and his eyes sharp.

"Oh no!"

"Oh no!"

Two men ran out at lightening speed.

"If we stayed there even for a second more we would be dead by now," said Lion

The two didn't know how they rushed outside. On the other hand, Mr Roshi didn't realize that they had left. The image of the girl he dreamt with reappeared in his mind , the atmosphere eased and a smile formed.

In a different continent, in the inner most part of the thick Liru forest , two large wolves are running after a midium sized black wolf . Just a few miles away, surrounded by the green of the trees, stands the biggest wolf of the clan, Guru, the leader of the wolves. Wolves are always led by the strongest and the most powerful male wolf. A leader is chosen by nature. Every heir to the throne is identified when he comes of age . This is because his body unlike the other wolves grows stronger and he is gifted with some gifts which other wolves lack. The current leader, Guru, when he came of age , could only fight with the two protectors of the former leader. The protectors are always the second strongest to the leader and they have the responsibility of helping the leader protect the clan. Once the future leader is identified, it is the responsibility of the acting leader to train and guide them. But today, as the current leader of the wolves stands in his forest, he can't help but wonder where he went wrong.

Early that morning.

Guru's only offspring, Nuru, is restless. With her father's abilities, he detects something wrong and he orders his protectors, Gon and Lin, to accompany Nuru for a run in the forest. On reaching the innermost part, Nuru tries to run but she couldn't. Facing the East is the only solution to the burning fire all over her. Like magnet, she is being pulled and the contentment that comes with the pull is unexplainable. After a few minutes of denial, she surrenders to it and there, lying on the bed, she saw him and feeling her presence, he turned to her and smiled.

At the same time, unknown to Nuru, the protectors of the wolves clan are watching the biggest nightmare. They are gripped with fear and they both decide to leave this place for good. Just ask they turn around, they meet the eyes of their leader and they quickly turn to continue watching. Infront of them, a human stood, surrounded by a shadow of shiny lights. Their leader's offspring, Nuru, had shifted to a human being, an abomination.

Since the creation, shifters can take any form apart from their original wolf form. But shifting to a human being??? Unheard of.
