WOLFBREED

You can't leave Tobias; you have to stay and fight for your place. Remember, you swore an oath to the brotherhood to always answer our call, Walking out at this point would be a direct rebellion against the brotherhood, and you know the cost of this rebellion: you can lose everything, Tobias.

Tobias; I'm sorry, Sheila.
As he turned his back on Sheila, with eyes full of tears and regret, it was clear he had already made up his mind and was not going to change no matter what she said or did. Sheila watched as Tobias entered the heavy downpour, with lightning and thunder ravaging the area.

He won't make it past the hyena's park. We've been the reason they spared his life, even though they hold a grudge against him for killing the leader of their pack. The hyenas do not have a forgiving nature, and I'm sure they will be delighted to know he no longer has the protection of the brotherhood. (Marcos said as he stood at the entrance of the mansion.)

Sheila; How long have you been listening?

Marcos; (with a high tone) long enough to realize what I have been telling you all these years. Tobias can never be trusted; he would turn his back on us at the very least.

Sheila; Marcos, please... You can't give him up like this; please do it for me.

Marcos; I'm sorry, Sheila. I have already sent a message to the high mage: by sunrise, Tobias will be labeled an enemy of the brotherhood, and every pack under our control will be against him. He would have nowhere to go; the only place he would have been saved would be the sea. Unfortunately, he's not aquatic, and the wolfbreed only accepts their kind. I doubt he will survive three days on his own (he said in a sarcastic tone).

Sheila; You do not know what you have done, Marcos. You don't know anything. (Shella begins to look outside the window in a hurry, as though she was expecting something to happen.)

Marcos; What is it? Why are you looking tense all of a sudden? Is there something I need to know? (As he spoke, a loud bang came out of nowhere, and within the twinkle of an eye, soldiers began to run out of the mansion and other surrounding mansions. It was the sound of war.)

Sheila; You brought this upon us, Marcos. I have done everything to keep Tobias in check for the last five years, and you have just brought chaos to the brotherhood. Your jealousy will be the destruction of the brotherhood. You'd better start running to Daddy; that's if he would be able to protect you.

Marcos; what are you talking about, Sheila? Sheila, Sheila wait.
(Marcos ordered his guards to be on standby as he went through the tunnels to escape for his life.)

Hold the fort, hold the fort... Stand in line, soldiers, starting tonight we defend our belief, we defend our family, we defend the brotherhood. Our walls have stood for a thousand years, and it will not fall on our watch. These scavengers will not breach these walls. (General Sham screamed as the soldiers stood in line in their formations.)

General Sham; How many men have we got?

Cornel Lane; 120,000 general I have sent a message to hyenas, dragons, cobras, and the she-wolf park. They will be here in no time.

General Sham; I doubt the Shewolf Park will support us in fighting against the wolfbreed. It's no secret that the wolves are only truly loyal to themselves.

Cornel Lane; I will be on the lookout for any fishy play from them when they arrive.

General Sham; you mean if they even come. What surprises me the most is why the White Wolf Pack will suddenly decide to attack us after the truce we made 25 years ago.

Cornel Lane; I thought they were the ones who sought the truce 25 years ago; does this have anything to do with Tobias leaving the city gate?

General Sham; What do you mean Tobias left the city gates? And you didn't deem it fit to report to me at once.

Cornel Lane; I only learned about it from my men a moment ago. I never thought...

General Sham; Enough with your excuses; you are in charge now; ensure nothing gets past that gate. I need to speak with the mages. (He leaves at once with his men.)

Cornel lane; I always wonder what is so special about this boy. (He soliloquies.) Hold the fort; nothing gets through the gates. Archers in position...

I told you that was a wrong call, and now we just lost the only leverage we have used to keep the wolfbreed in check for the last 25 years. And what's worse, you made the call at a time when we could not trust the Shewolf Park to be on our side. (Mage Yang said as all the mages contemplated the best move to make.)

Mage Lyon; You made a reckless call, Faco. It has been a mage duty to keep the peace between realms since the dawn of time. The States Preceptor charged us with the sacred duty of tying the powers of the alpha with our magic, which we have done for the past 25 years. But now you let that young man leave, knowing we would be unable to tame him outside these walls. You have put your selfish interests above the realm, for which I think we will need a new high mage. I hereby raise a motion for High Mage Faco to step down, which is to be decided by a vote.

High Mage Faco; Enough. I will not let you all discredit my years of hard work and loyalty to the realm because you are all scared of a boy who has never turned all his life talkless, knowing how to control the powers of the alpha.

Mage Yang; But your reckless decision has led him to the wolfbreed, who obviously will be happy to teach him. Have you forgotten the prophecy, Faco? If you have, I will remind you. "When the new alpha rises, with the blood of the wolf and the crown of a prince, he shall be the destruction of realms. And on the night of the eclipse, the wolfbreed shall rise."
The eclipse has been predicted to happen sooner than later, and that is why the white wolf pack is already laying a sage. And you can very well see the chaos one pack outside our walls is causing. What do you think will happen when the entire wolfbreed stands at our gates? Soon enough, they will be matching on us, and our magic might not be enough to save us this time. We barely survived 25 years ago. If the emperor had not killed his own daughter, held his grandson captive, and later lured the former alpha into a trap, we would never have been able to come to a truce. Now you've blown everything away with your recklessness.

High Mage Faco; You need not remind me, Yang; it was my sword that went through the heart of the former alpha. However, I know a majority of you do not accept my methods, which is why I decided to make the necessary calls. I think it is better to end this war once and for all than to continue living in fear of the enemy.

General Sham; he is not the enemy; he is your prince and the rightful heir to the throne of the seven realms.

High Mage Faco; Oh Sham, nice of you to join the party. Well, if you must know that halfbreed is not my prince, and I will kill him like I killed his father and mother, and win this war once and for all.

General Sham; What the hell are you saying, Faco? Have you gone mad?

High Mage Faco; maybe, except that you all in this room will not be able to witness my victory.

High Mage Faco disappeared immediately, and within the twinkle of an eye, the mansion where they were began to sink.

THIS IS MY RESPONSE TO THE SCHOLARS AND SCRIBE PROMPT FOR THE MONTH.
