The moon was hidden behind the thunderclouds that night, and a loud crack of thunder later, rain fell.

Roy felt the raindrops falling on his hand, and then he pulled his arm back.

“Its raining.” And then, as if on cue, the tents and carriages were buffeted by the rain.

The raindrops sounded like loud drums, and the northern gale blew at the tents, threatening to uproot them at any moment.

Then things got worse.

“Theres a situation.” Roy went out into the rain, and Letho followed.

Their shirts were drenched in an instant, but they didnt have time for that.

One of the troupe members was screaming in the distance, but his voice was almost drowned out by the rain.

The duo quickly went to him.

“What happened”

“A-a monster attacked us.” The man was breathing heavily, his face pale, but he managed to hold Lethos hands.

“You have to help us, Letho! Youre the only one who can do it!” He was shivering uncontrollably, obviously shaken to his core.

“Wheres everyone”

“Eveline, Kantilla, and the other guys went after it.

They were headed to the swamp.

T-they told me to hold the fort.”

Roy looked into the distance, but the rain and darkness was stopping even him.

He could only see twenty feet ahead of him, so going after them in these conditions would prove unwise.

“Calm down.” Letho calmed the troupe member with Axii.

“The rain started not long ago.

Did you manage to see the monster What did it look like”

“It was too dark, so I didnt see it clearly, but its eyes looked feral, like a cats.

Or a wolfs.

And they gleamed.”

“I see.

Whered Alan go, then”

The man frowned.

“I didnt see Alan, but I saw Art and Arri flying east.”

“Well be back soon, so stay here and dont go anywhere,” Letho said.

“Im counting on you guys.”

***

The duo strode into the darkness, their boots squelching against the ground.

Letho was carrying Gwyhyr, while Roy was holding his crossbow.

Neither of them had a torch, for the moonlight was enough light for them to go on.

“Is he out of his mind” Roy was frustrated.

“Whyd he pull this stunt on a night like this I thought he was supposed to be the troupes guardian.

What if his members got hurt”

Letho replied calmly, “He mustve realized we found him out earlier.

This is just a trap.”

“And were walking right into it.”

“Hell come for us if we dont.

And he wont be friendly.

We should take the bait and see what hes up to.”

They went ahead, crouching and hiding in the rain.

A short while later, they saw the flicker of a torch ahead, and they heard the voices of the members whod gone after the monster.

Right when they were about to rendezvous with the troupe members, an owl appeared before them.

It cooed for a moment before perching itself on Roys shoulder.

Its wings were wet from the rain, so it couldnt fly well.

It raised its fat wings and pointed to the left.

“This is Alans owl, Arri.

Is she giving us directions” Arri heard Roys mumble and nodded at him with an uncanny show of human intelligence.

Then she opened her wings and stood up to bow at them, much to Roys surprise.

“Is she bowing to us Youre such a lady, Arri.”

Arri covered her face with her wing sheepishly.

“Whoa, she understands human language.

Alans more complicated than I thought.” Roy eased up a bit, since Arri was trying to be friends with them.

They followed her directions for about ten minutes before arriving at a mini pine forest.

The rain was blocked out by the dense foliage, and a boulder that stood at five feet sat at the end of the winding path.

There, a towering figure sat.

Roy cast Observe on it from a long distance away, but it wasnt the same data he got a few days ago.

So this is Observes weakness.

It cant see through a shapeshifter.

No, a cursed one.

***

Its superior to me in close combat, but Lethos better.

Roy gripped his crossbow tightly as he estimated the number of shots he could fire before Alan could come near.

Two, maybe.

“So, are you Alan Or are you a werewolf Why did you call us here”

The silhouette leaped down from the boulder.

The moon shone on its fangs and exposed gum as it tried to grin, but all it managed was a sneer.

The snout was getting in the way.

“Good.

Seems like you guys arent idiots who kill monsters the first chance they get.

Lets talk.” Its voice was guttural and deep, and it wasnt attractive at all, especially not when it was inching closer to the duo, its body towering over them, its big claws shining coldly under the moonlight.

Arri cooed happily and flew toward Alan.
