Hrafn went to camp and found Rea missing. She thought, "Wow. Now I have to track her down." So she told Hagon where she was going. To follow Rea. Sliding through the trees without a sound, she saw a glimpse of a lake. Remembering her scent was masked with some pungent plants that grew around here, she crept up and saw Rea and Mattie with… no. The boy that was the werewolf. Catching the words, "Houlku," "potato," and "baby," she evaluated they were talking about the wolf spirit of the boy and Mattie. She readied her weapons right now, some retrieved silver needles, two silver daggers, Helios, Argentum, and a Celestial Bronze spatha, a cavalry sword. She sighed and took the silver needles into the ready position. The daggers gleamed for the second time that day. She made no sound and rushed out. "Rea, this boy and his wolf spirit attacked us at camp, so you need to leave. With me." She took her silver daggers and wiped some blood off on her maroon leggings. Double wielding was not her thing, but she could do it. The blades whispered to her, "Kill the boy." Her mastery over blades let her see the "spirit," or battle strategy of them. These were for super close quarter combat. They needed to rush and kill. Her hands and legs filled with the energy known as adrenaline. Her hands tingled and her legs were shaking with impatience. The boy would be enraged. "I will not harm anyone, I never strike first if nothing has been done. I believe, werewolf, and I would assume Houlku, that you were spying on us. You also attacked Hagon by his reaction to you. He struck and I merely fought. Now, I have dealt with the Darkness Pack before, and I know who you are, Houlku. I have run into many of your werewolves. Boy, this spirit does not care about you. He takes control of his host and never cares about them. Controlling, but not a good kind of person. You truly have power over Houlku, and it is not the other way around. Keep him contained, and I might be able to kill him. Houlku here might have raised you, judging by how much I overheard, but he only needs your body. My friend Faolan keeps Thistle in check, because he is a wild spirit, and now I know that the spirit has no true control over you. Houlku, go to Tartarus and never come back." She took her daggers, but felt for the spirit's presence.
Houlku wandered it id the cave with a look of bravery. "So you know me." He said, allowing himself to show. "I'm sorry kid, but this was our island long before any of you children showed up, and Sawyer is mine." The boy backed away from whom he thought was his friend, almost towards Hrafn. "You lied?" He said to Houlku. "You said he attacked first.." The spirit neared the boy. "No! Get away from me!" He said. Houlku growled. "Don't trust people you've just met, Sawyer." He said. "This is the very human that attacked you earlier." Sawyer shook his head. He got closer to Hrafn, but saw her weapons and backed towards a wall with fear in his eyes.

Hrafn sighed. "Sawyer, I believe, this is a liar here. Houlku uses everyone he knows. Hagon got ambushed by Houlku, and he tried to make you believe all humans were dangerous and you need him. You are in control of him. These daggers are for if I truly need to fight. The times you turn into a humanoid, he has the reins. Not as wise as Silver Moon, not as patient. He is savage and will not care if you die. When I overhear some of his werewolves, they tend to talk about his changing hosts. Houlku, I will personally kill you right here right now if you try to attack anyone here. Her daggers were gleaming, whispering, "Kill Houlku now." But she held off and replied, "I will give him a chance." Hrafn said, "Rea, come on. Please." She swept up Rea with a ventus and flew to the camp area, gently letting them down. She walked her to the camp and sat her down. She climbed her tree, and slept, hopefully undisturbed.
Rea sat down on her perch, giggling baby in her arms as she watched the confrontation. "Ooh, drama!" It seemed like this boy was possessed or something?? Rea didn't really know whst the term was called- she didn't know that much about werewolves, either. "Awww, time to go, huh? Don't you think that now that you've revealed him that wolf spirit thingy might, I dunno, murder him? Since he knows the truth?" Still, she waved a hand when Hrafn summoned forth her weird magic thingy to take them back, shrugging with the thought thay it didn't really matter to her if anyone here died or not. Right before they left, she summoned forth a small cherry leaf, blowing it into the boys direction and mouthing 'if you need help, just call' while Hrafn's back was turned. Arriving back to their dirty camp with Mattie, Rea flopped onto her log, careful not to let the baby get backlashed from the fall. "Man, miss grumpy. You really gotta learn to hold your tongue. You do realize you've just put that child in a dangerous situation, right?" She called out into the clearing, waving in a vaguely tired looking Hagon's direction. "Morning Wolfie, say, if your wolfy spirit guy was like, evil and junk- and you found out that he was evil and junk- how bad would that be for you? Cause, like, aren't you guys the same person or whatever?" @herorbinex1 @aetherwyvern66

Hagon shrugged. "I mean, we've built up a mutual trust." He said. "Our lives wouldn't be the same, not even a little bit, if he wasn't peacekeeping and such, I probably wouldn't have been killed so many times, nor would I have met a kid named Xena, who was a vampire." He sighed. Scratch heard them talking and came over. "You need not have fear of me, Rea." He said. " But Hoilku- Houlku is as evil as they come, once a member of my pack, he's younger than me in fact. Everytime we would meet for the nightly howl he kept having to choose new, until we discovered his motives and kicked him out, and he joined the Darkness Pack, a group just like him." He growled at the thought of it.

Rea hummed, tethering back on her heel. "You said he kept having to choose anew again? So then, is your wolf guide whatever more like a parasite? I was under the impression that they were a part of you affected by the lycranthopathy curse, rather than a separate entity on its own? And if thats the case- do you, like, choose who to affect or is it just whoever ends up cursed with you??" 😺QuietStar😺

Scratch shook his head. "No. It is the only way we can exist yes, but we choose humans to protect and help keep the peace. I suppose you could say the Darkness Pack could be almost like a parasite if you want to call them that- and yes, we do choose them." Hagon turned to Scratch. "Have you ever had another chosen?" Scratch nodded. "Only two, unlike Houlku." (I honestly am making the magic up on the fly. XD C H I Y O

Hrafn wasn't able to sleep. She took the small centurion badge on her shirt. Alex had given her a small golden drop. It was beautiful. They had whispered in her ear, "Keep it safe. I would rather see you alive then dead…" The words chilled her to the bone. It hung off of her leather cord necklace. She just sighed and thought, "Well, I have always been a insomniac, right?" She took the swords and muttered, "How do I have all of these?" The spatha was fine, Helios glowing, and Argentum seemingly sucking the light from the air. Just how they should be.

TIMESKIP/7:00 AM
Hagon woke up, seeing the sun rise and remembering that he wasn't back in Silver Oaks. He sighed and corrected his messy hair with water from the stream. What had woken him up was the heat and the sun. He did a long stretch before selecting a tree to do pull-ups on, to prepare for Houlku's possible return. He then dropped to the ground and did push-ups as well.
Sawyer sat down and stared at the lake after he woke up from a short, broken sleep. Houlku growled. "Why must you trust such humans?" He said angrily. Sawyer looked at who was once his friend in fear and whispered. "Did you really hurt them?" Houlku let out a huff. "They are a threat to us and our island- I mean who just shows up out of no where? They need to be.. disposed of." Sawyer backed away. "N-no.." He said, backing towards the forest still. Houlku got closer. "What did you say?" Sawyer took off running through the forest, hoping to find somewhere to shelter or hide from the wolf spirit. He came across the cabins and ran inside one, locking the door. He cowered in a corner, about to cry.

Hrafn was feeling odd today. Like some force was separated. She shook it off and dug in her pack for anything that could be set into a trap for a werewolf. Silver shreds, rope. She told Hagon about the trap locations. Setting them up, nets with silver embedded in them, she set an alarm with a couple metal disks she used as a plate sometimes. If a trap was sprung, the sound would amplify, metal disks would smash together, and she would check one with the locations and go there. The work was easy, and she flew back to camp, wondering where Alex was now.
Sawyer left through a back door in the cabin and ran, thinking he'd lost Houlku. He stepped on the trap and an alarm went off as he was caught in a net. He felt weak, and not being the strongest, he passed out in it. Houlku followed his nose to the boy and found him in a trap. "Wait. Thats-" The spirit disappeared.

Rea woke up the following morning, Mattie resting on her belly and drooling on her plain cream gauze dress. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up, disturbing the baby as well. Looking over at her long curly hair, she eyed the disgusting matted up mess, frizzy and covered with leaves and small burrs. The thing would be a nightmare to groom, and Rea shuddered at the thought of the potential bugs and definite germs in her hair. Trying to distract herself, she walked over to Hrafn's stored food from the previous night, digging into some of the berries and peeking at what was left of the probably stale meat from the previous night. With a shrug she peeked at the sleepy, grumpy baby in her lap. Crushing up what was left of the berries, she proceeded to feed the infant. As he drank the juice, she took a moment to check out her journey mates. Wolfie boy appeared to be doing some kinda exercises, and miss grumpy was setting up traps. Where she kept all that junk was beyond her. Rea had barely noticed that she was beginning to nod off until she found her eyes snapping open, tired but aware of some commotion of sorts. Her drama meter was going ding. Scooping up Mattie, Rea made her way over to the trapped boy, shutting off the alarm. The wish god strolled right up to the trap, head tilted as she examined the sadly still shirtless kid. "Oh, Sawdy's back- and so soon! Whats up shortie? You look like your in quiiite the pickle again! Man, you suck at avoiding getting stepped on! You walked right into Miss Grumpy's trap!" 😺QuietStar😺 , @aetherwyvern66

Sawyer glanced up at the other girl, the silver making him dizzy and weak. "I don't feel so good.." He said, the world spinning and his muscles feeling weak. This only happens with weak werewolves. With strong werewolves, they have less dizziness and more weakness. Houlku stood growling a few meters away, as he couldn't go near the trap or he'd risk disappearing again. "You again." He said to himself. C H I Y O

(( can she see Houlku at all?? I didnt know if he was invisible since it seemed like he was talking to himself xD))
Rea tapped her finger to the corner of her mouth, eyebrows furrowed on her delicate, dirty face that had not been cleaned yet today. It took her a moment to realize just what was making the boy so ill. "Hm-, so the old fairytales about silver was true? Goodness, a little pathetic that such big beasts could be stopped by something like a mineral. At least that means it probably applies to fae too." With a whisper of something probably judgemental under her breathe, she hiked Mattie, still grumpy and sleepy, up her waist and walked ever closer to the trap. Examining it, she reached put a hand to the net, tugging on the material, then peeked around. If this was anything like the basic hunter net traps, then the rope probably lead... Yeah, over here. Rea grabbed one end and tugged, watching the net suddenly begin to plummet toward the ground it had been hanging over from a few feet. 😺QuietStar😺
Sawyer hit the ground and ended up slightly scratched up from the impact. He removed down of the net from around him and stood up, still slightly wobbly.
Hagon got hot and removed his shirt again, then heard something nearby(for his standards) and made his way over. "Hey kid- Woah. That's silver." He said, getting a slight headache as he came nearer. "You're not going to attempt to kill me again, are you?" Sawyer shook his head. "I had no idea Houlku almost killed you.." He said. Hagon helped stabilize him and looked at his cuts. "Yikes. Those'll take their time but they'll eventually heal. Silver does that." He said. "I have no idea how Hrafn will react to you, but you smell like a dark werewolf, so I know it's not your fault. How old are you even?" Sawyer thought for a few seconds. "Houlku says I'm thirteen when I ask." He said. "How about you?" Hagon noticed the boy was able to stand by himself and added with cool tone "twenty three." Sawyer looked at Rea questioningly. (Houlku isn't visible unless he wants to be. If you like I can put (Invisible) in parentheses next time.
