One Year Later
I woke up in dimly lit room, with a small window on one side next to an elegant bed that I was now laying in, across from the bed was a big mirror, three doors inside the room one leading to a closet another a bathroom and the last to the outside, it had been exactly one year since I was brought to the werewolf manor, the were wolves were great, they didn’t use me to their advantage, I didn’t have to do anything for them, they respected me and I in turn respected them, they knew what I could do and honored that I wouldn’t fight for a useless reason, of course I helped out now and then but I refused to fight vampires, I couldn’t let them find me, I hadn’t taken off the earring that Leonardo had given me either, I wanted him to think me dead, it was better for him….
I got up dressed and went out into the dining hall where I met King Ashnard, he was a great ruler, I was given a place next to him as an advisor and as a champion, I was brought here ten months before, exhausted and weak from looking for this place I collapsed in the wilderness next thing I knew I woke up in the bed I sleep in still, when I awoke I was immediately questioned and interrogated, just to make sure that I wasn’t an enemy and that I was actually only seeking asylum. Once they knew of my special powers and strength I was placed as their champion, since I left the Vampire’s domain I had grown wiser and stronger, turns out the werewolves were a lot like the vampires, the same type of transformation, the same training, the same special powers, they even chose their weapons in the same fashion.
King Ashnard: Matthew, they is something we must discuss, please come to the throne room with me.
I knew something was up; usually the king was in his throne all day and seldom left he usually sent messengers to gather people to see him. He led the way to the throne room, once in there he raised his hand to signalize attention to all of the guards and messengers.
King Ashnard: Leave we have important matters to discuss, I shall call if I need you.
The messengers and guards filed out while I floated in the middle of the room with and waited for the King to be seated, weird thing about the wings once I left the Vampire’s domain, my wings could not retract into my body, I had to settle for them to fold out and then fold back in.
King Ashnard: Matthew, our war with the Vampires is growing to a turning point, it has been decided that our opposing armies shall meet on the fields of Asphodel, in one months’ time.
The fields of Asphodel was a giant field plagued by destruction, it was so torn by war and destruction that it got the name the fields of Asphodel after the fields of death in the Underworld, all of the magical creatures agreed to fight here in full scale wars because it would hurt the land anywhere else and the fields were so far gone nothing could hurt nor heal the land though many tried.
King Ashnard: Also, we will not be allowed to grant you asylum anymore you will have to leave in three days if you still refuse to fight vampires.
Matthew: But, King, why must you refuse me asylum? Have I not proven that I am not your foe?
King Ashnard: Yes, you have but you have not proven that you are an ally.
Matthew: Fine, I shall leave King Ashnard.
I walked out of the throne room and walked the corridors until I reached my room, I opened the window and walked out onto the balcony, and jumped up onto the railing, I started crying the scene reminded me of when I left Leonardo…. No, I had to be strong, but I did not know where to go. What could I do? I had a very vague and unpredictable plan that just might work, I had to try it.
I ran back into the throne room, everyone in there was stunned to see me again.
Matthew: King Ashnard! I challenge you’re authority to rule!
King Ashnard: Matthew! What is this treachery!?
Matthew: Wolverine law states that any citizen may challenge for a right to the throne.
