Dark Offspring 4 by An old sage
Ilyana wenced as the claws dug into her chest. Looking up she saw the strangers green eye glaring down at her. The stranger opened her mouth to reveal yellow teeth stained black by blood. The stranger let out a cry that resembled a laugh and swung her head down embedding her teeth in Ilyana's neck. Ilyana screamed and lost conciousness. When she came to she would the stranger still on top of her with her teeth still embedded in her throat. Hurridly she shoved the stranger off of her. When she felt no resistance she look down at the stranger. Ilyana's dagger was buried to the hilt in the strangers heart. The strangers green eyes still stared at her, but this time they were cold and lifeless. Ilyana breathed a sigh of relief and then looked down at ther next.
Her heart jumped. For there around the wound, she could see the slowly spreading lycanthropic poison. "Oh no!" she gasped. "Who might be able to cure me?? I dont want to go the village. Besides the werewolf guards there will surely kill me. Who could help me? Ah, yes the hermit.... My brother Sigurd. I must seek him out... Ah but wait hasnt he gone to the mountains to seek shelter from the wolves? Yes, he did.... but I have little choice. Werewolf poison takes seventy-two hours to take effect. That should be enough time to reach him." With that she set off in search of her brother.
She stumbled along the rocky path. She hadnt wanted to stop to eat or rest. She was afraid she would wake up as a werewolf. She knew she musn't let the happen. Just then a fierce storm broke. The raging wind forced her to seek shelter in a large cave. She started a fire and determined that she would wait out the rain and then proceed on her journey. The heat from the fire and her exhaustion had a very strong effect on her. Within no time she was fast asleep.
A loud roar awoke her. She looked up to see an angry mother grizzly bear looming over her. "Not go at all," she thought. The bear lunged clawling at her arm. She dodged to one side. Then suddenly she felt as though she could take on the world. Nothing would make her afraid...
The bear lunged again, and once again she side-stepped its attack. Then staring the bear directly in the eyes she let out a howl and rushed for it. As she let her anger loose she felt something in her change... She was gaining power. She reached out and dug a a clawed hand into the bears chest. There was a flurry of blows and several load grunts. When everything had died down, Ilyana stood over the torn carcass of the bear. She hadnt even been scratched. In contrast the bear look as though it had been throughly mauld. Ilyana laughed to herself, "One with nature Is that what I sought? Now I am not just one with nature. I am natures Master..." Ilyana let loose a blood curdling laugh. Together with my new pack we shall rule. Nothing, not even that pathetic excuse for a Militia shall stand in my way.
Then she began to think, "Hmm we have great prowess in combat, but what about magic? A mage would do us well. Hmm, where could I get a mage... Ah yes, my brother would make an excellent mage..."
