Eighty-Four
Some of the greatest battles will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul.

One of the lessons that we were taught when we were studying psychology back in the academe was about classical conditioning. Classical conditioning happens when you learn to do something unconsciously. Actions that you do unconsciously often come with a specific thing that comes with it. In example, you learned to study, because you knew that your professor would give you candy or stamp a star on your hand. In time, you would study because you wanted to have the same feeling you had when a professor stamped your hand. The giddiness you feel will seem weird when you give a great answer, and nothing happens after.

Great power lies on souls raging with fire.✾The end of the pathway was only a small gated door. There weren’t any locks, so I was able to open slowly and take a peek inside. It was dark, but I was able to check the surroundings perfectly. My wolf was fast in telling me that she didn’t feel any other wolf nearby, at least not a wolf that was near that they would notice that there were people here that weren’t welcomed.

Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.✾ Even though I wasn’t in that dark place where I could easily sense vibrations and scents, I could still easily pick up the places that would be safest to pass by. Maybe at this part, I could trust my wolf in giving me a good sense of direction and an easier map to follow. Moving my hat lower to obscure my face, I start walking. Sniffing occasionally, I follow the mixture of scents. I place my hands inside my pockets, trying my best to look as if I’m supposed to be here. My eyes keep darting from left to right, assessing the whole place. It was just like the pathway I used with Gloc. A wall full of grime and it smelled humid and damp. As much as I wanted to cover my nose to get rid of the strange smell, I

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.✾ The smell of blood and sweat were so strong that I instinctively covered my nose. Pes and Ky were more than hospitable enough to guide me towards the source of all the scents and vibration that I felt back when my wolf was controlling my body. Like I assumed, there were a lot of scents and noises that instantly bombarded my senses. The two men with me seemed to be used to it, they easily walked across the room. Ky was smirking at me, he’s probably finding it funny that the scents a

Ever since I’ve laid my eyes on him, I didn’t have it in me to blink. My wolf had taken control for only a second, then it was me controlling myself again. Yohan was strapped to the chair, a dirty cloth similar to the clothes I was wearing was the only thing that was covering him. There were blood everywhere, from his forehead down to his legs.
