The Lullaby of Wolves
The meditation room was as tall as it was wide and fairly dark within. They impeded what little light that got into the room with a blackout curtain and only a single candle on a small shrine was lit. The air was thick with incense sticks that burned on the shrine.
Rem did not move to hint that he had heard me enter. In fact, Rem seemed strangely still and quiet and not at all in any danger. Yet the aching of my body wouldn’t wane and everything within me told me I was needed here.
Slowly, I dragged myself over to where Rem kneeled in front of the shrine. The action brought me pain with each step but I continued until I was at Rem’s side. His breathing was shallow. Had I known no better, I’d have thought him to be asleep and nothing more.
I struggled to stand beside him, my gaze looking up at his face with worry, but I couldn’t communicate with him, and now I did not know what I should do to h

Darkness surrounded me everywhere, but for some strange reason, I could see myself just fine. Looking around, I did not know where I was exactly, but it felt like I was floating in some kind of void. I was still in my wolf form, yet there was nothing to suggest I was anywhere with life or physical things, as I could feel nothing touching me, nor could I smell anything around me. I mulled over my options. I could try to walk, assuming that I could, and hope that I would eventually find something or I could call out and hope someone was nearby. Also assuming I could speak here. I saw nothing to suggest either would lead me very far, but there was nothing else to do but try. “Hello?” I attempted to call out and was pleased when my voice seemed to work. Perking my ears up, I listened intently. So far, nothing. “Hello?!” I tried louder this time. Nothing. I sighed and looked around for a sign of life. Something bright was glowing off
Under the Blue Moon The Truth Beneath the Sky
With the thought of Rem trying to protect me, I moved over to the chest and tried to pull the chains off, to no avail. There was no start or end to them, yet they kept growing and tightening around the chest slowly. I frowned deeply and looked back to Seren. She looked at me helplessly.“I tried that too, but as soon as I touched it, it ended up quickening the pace, likely because of my nature as a spirit. Rem would never trust nor allow me access,” she relayed and then looked down at the chest. “You at least do not have that effect, which means Rem must know who you are, at the very least.”“Can he hear us?” I asked Seren curiously.She seemed to mull over my question before replying with, “theoretically, he should be able to hear us, yes. We’re in His mind after all. Or his heart now, I suppose.”“This is the strangest thing I have done, just so we’re aware,”

No matter how many times I broke the chains surrounding the chest, more replaced them. However, they were getting slower in their attempts to lock away the spirit within. That meant our attempts were not completely futile and was giving us time to figure out a better solution to this total mess Rem was getting himself into. I still had more questions, but for now, I was trying to focus more on saving Rem from his own actions. Mulling over my options, I looked to Seren and asked, “size has no meaning here, right?” “I suppose not,” she replied thoughtfully. With a nod, I shifted back into the more wolf-like form, my size increasing rapidly until I was the size of an elephant. It was harder than I thought it would be. The form itself was familiar to me but not the size, so trying to not overthink it while still thinking about it enough to pull off was such an out of this world experience. I knew I wouldn’t go through this again soon, excep
Under the Blue Moon Apocalypse State of Mind
With my ‘human’ spirit now once more joined with this half of me, I am finally able to take on my human form. I do so, double-checking for any errors in my judgement but everything looks perfect. I do have a slight glow, but nothing that would suggest I was a ‘spirit’ that Rem couldn’t trust. Or I hoped not, at the least. He was still giving me distrustful glances, but now that Seren was no more, he seemed to relax again. Turning my attention fully on Rem, I leaned on the chest and patted the chains. “Come sit with me, Remmy,” I coo over to him - using the nickname Sam called him in a hope that Rem would know for sure that this really was me. He let out a grunt of annoyance at the nickname and stomped his way over to me, though the sword remained in his hand even as he dragged behind himself sluggishly. “Well, now I know it’s definitely you. Only you would dare call me that besides Sam,” he criticised. He sat on the chest beside me and
Under the Blue Moon A Hunter's Fate
“I’ll make my choice. It is time to wake up,” Rem’s voice rang out to me as everything turned white. I could hear people arguing nearby as I roused from the dream I had been having. Though in my heart, I knew it had been no dream. The feel of someone’s fingers slowly stroking through the fur on my head alerted me to the fact that Rem was now awake along with me.As my eyes flickered open, the sound of the large doors into the meditation room swung open with the force of an angry person behind them. I knew I was in trouble for entering the room against Mrs Emerson’s demands, but I knew it was the right thing to do.Mrs Emerson halted as soon as she saw Rem was awake, her expression no longer furious but stunned. None of the others had followed her in, but with the doors wide open, they had an unrestricted view of the scene within.I was still in my wolf form, curled up around Rem and my head in his lap. M
Under the Blue Moon Never Play Matchmaker
“So K-Ken was telling me t-that you a-are really large in y-your wolf form, Zach,” Sam stuttered sheepishly to me after we had finished eating. We were now making our way towards the gathering hall. “H-he said y-your f-fur is really s-soft too,” they continued. Every glance they made towards Ken was subtle and shy.I couldn’t help but chuckle softly to myself. “Very soft, yes,” I agreed. “Even Rem thinks so, don’t you Remmy?” I cooed playfully, which as expected, caused the man in question to blush a deep red tone.“Ugh, there is no living with either of you,” Rem mumbled towards me and Sam. I was glad. Although the wolf-spirit inside of Rem had awakened, he wasn’t any different to his usual self.I offered a playful wink towards Rem, then looked back at Sam. “I can partly transform for you, and you can see for yourself if you like?” I asked them.
Under the Blue Moon To Werewolf or not to Werewolf
This was the second time now that we had gathered at the meeting hall with the other Hunters. Mrs Emerson peered at the four of us quietly before saying, “I’d like to speak with Rath and the werewolf alone first, then everyone else can come in.” Rem and I shared a glance but nodded slowly in agreement. It didn’t sound like she was angry, or that she was being fussy, but it sounded important. Whatever it was she needed to say, likely had something to do with the gaining of a spirit. Or, in Rem’s case, the awakening of his other half. As Mrs Emerson closed the door behind the three of us, she peered at me intently. Then she looked at Rem and asked, “Rath, what kind of spirit did you summon? Usually, we hunters continue to bond with the same spirit over the centuries, which is how the position gets passed down to the next leader, however,” she paused and placed a hand to her chest, frowned and then continued to say, “while the spirit left my body,
Under the Blue Moon Building Better Worlds
After our little chat, Mrs Emerson called the others in and let them take their seats while we waited for the other Hunters to arrive. Rem and I now had seats at the front of the table and Mrs Emerson sat next to us on the side. I had expected people to be puzzled at first, but they could sense the change in Rem right away. Excited whispering filled the room before Mrs Emerson silenced everyone. “As you can all tell, the change of leadership has finally swapped hands with Rath as our new leader. Until he has the training needed to take on the role, I will aid him with whatever he needs. Until he has fully taken over, please give him and me some time to get things settled down,” she said, speaking clearly. Rem nodded towards his grandmother and then looked over the faces of those gathered here. “There might be a few changes coming regarding how we work as Hunters and how we deal with the Supernatural beings in this world.
