I walked past them while they stared at the spot in shock and I went to the infirmary tent to check on Thalia, I healed her a little more with water and she started to stir. I put my hand on her shoulder and looked at her face as she opened her eyes, and then they snapped open as she saw me and she put her hand on her waist looking at it in shock. Then she hugged me, and as usual I went still before hugging her back. 

"It's not your fault" she suddenly said and I shook my head braking the embrace

"It is my fault, I-I could've saved you guys from him, I could've helped, and I let you down as your guardian" I rambled "I failed" I looked at the ground and she put her hand under my mouth and lifted my head 

"No you couldn't have done anything, they came out of no where, and even you might've been overwhelmed" she said and I stood walking to the entrance of the tent

"No I could've killed him...again" I said before leaving and cleaning up the camp. Then I remembered the siblings and I looked around to see them in the tent with Thalia laughing about something. I smiled glad to see that they could still have a good time in this mess, and then I went back to pouring water on tents, folding them, and repairing others. Then I smelled something pungent and nasty, and I looked up to see a large black wolf staring at me in the forest. I shifted and charged the thing in anger, I jumped with my fur flaring in the sun. It tried to jump to the side in fear, but I was already on top of it with my paw burning a permanent mark in it's fur, skin, and flesh. I snarled and bit into it's neck making it yelp and howl in pain, and then it suddenly kicked me off burning it's back paws in the process, and then it jumped at me, and the next two minutes were filled with snarling, howls and yelps of pain, and then I finally bit into it's neck and it sank to the ground in defeat. I noticed that there were many burns, cuts, bite-marks, and blood all over it's body, and then I twisted my head quickly and a satisfying snap was heard in it's neck. I stepped back and looked at the camp again to see that Thalia and the siblings were out and had watched the battle. 

Thalia I want you to swear her into the hunt as one of us and bring Vivian to the camp I said to her.

No I am going to come with you she insisted pulling out her bow and showing that she was more than capable of this hunt

NO I am going to do this alone, this is my fight and I am going to destroy Lycaon even if it kills me in the process, at least I'll know that my mistress is safe you are going to protect those two and I am going to come back, I will always come back to you guys, my hunt I looked at her with pure need and a little sadness and then I sniffed the air and caught a scent that I hated, and will always hate for the rest of my life, Lycaon's scent. Then I changed into my  armored side and shot off chasing it, his nasty scent has been taunting me this whole day here, and I vowed that if he did anything to my hunt then I would tear him apart till his very essence can't reform. 

When I got there, I saw Lycaon with a bunch of werewolves, monsters, and other things bowing to him in the path of me and him on the throne, and then I saw a flash of silver and I saw a wolf dragging one of my hunters by the hair to him. I snarled loudly and a couple of monsters looked back only to get reduced to dust by my claws. 

"LYCAON DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY HUNTERS" I snarled across the area with a deep, angry, and threatening voice, and growling so loudly that the monsters near me had a heart attacks and turned to dust. I stalked forward growing to my enhanced form that I had gotten from the Primordial's when they blessed me with their powers, and I had gotten used to the new form over a while. I felt some monsters get reduced to dust as I walked through his little army, then I lowered my head to let him see how angry I was, even though in this form, everyone was afraid of it, even the primordial's themselves. I shrunk to regular size as I stepped on the podium and I noticed that because of my anger I was literally on fire, and my obsidian armor was glowing in the sun. I was also still larger than the other wolves here, being at least two to three times bigger than them, and Lycaon's head barely reached top of my leg. I looked down at him as he held one of my hunters by the hair, and then I growled when I saw that he was holding a knife against my mistress's throat. I growled loudly, and then looked Lycaon straight in the eye. 

"I challenge Lycaon the current king of the werewolves to the death, and with the punishment of being sent to the void" I said and Lycaon smiled before putting the knife back in his belt and pushing Artemis towards me.

"Go get the others to safety, while I deal with this...thing" I said to her and she nodded trusting me and went through the monsters to get our hunters. Then I shifted and pulled out Conqueror, and Lycaon eyed it warily. 

"What are you scared of your own blade...oh wait, its mine now" I said and he sneered baring his teeth in a snarl

"Not for long" he said "and as king this fight is going to be on my terms" I growled because he was going to do something unfair. 

"What are they" I growled annoyed

"You can't use that blade, you can't use silver, no poison what-so-ever for both of us, no controlling the water in my body, and lastly no armor" he said and I pulled out riptide, and the I pushed the button on my watch and the watch formed into a shield. 

"Let's fight" I said and then I stood there as another wolf handed him a weapon, and I saw that it was a silver weapon, but even if that hit me I would be fine, but even so I was determined to not let him lay a scratch on me at all. I charged him as soon as he got the weapon in his paws and I bashed him with my shield making him fly backwards. Surprisingly he didn't drop the sword, and I got into a battle stance. He charged out of pure anger and I did something no one expected. I used my fire and made Riptide glow, and that caused him to go wide eyed and veer out of the way as I swiped at him, and then I lit my shield on fire too and hit him in the face with it, burning him permanently in the face and making him look uglier than he already was before. I then went on the offense and he barely dodged or blocked my attacks, and then I slashed again and my sword cut through the center of his chest burning him immediately, and searing his flesh as it went through. 

"I thought only silver could cut werewolf skin" he said wincing in pain and almost falling to the floor

"It is one of the many other things besides regular metal and imperial gold, but fire is the best at it, and fire combined with silver is just deadly, but either way I can still destroy you with Riptide and fire together" I said walking to him slowly, he tried to thrust at my chest thinking that it would kill me, but I deflected it with my shield and his weapon went flying into the crowd. I walked up to Lycaon pulsing in anger and fire, and then my vision went black and I knew that my eyes must've been reflecting the fire that I could summon. 

"You know what Lycaon" I said 

"What" he growled looking at me with a hint of fear in his voice and eyes

"I'm not going to kill you" I said and I heard a low sigh escape from his lips as he thought that i would actually give him mercy after he tried to kill my hunters, and my mistress. I lit my and up with black fire and opened up the portal to the void behind him "I'm just going to burn you and let your living ashes go to the void" and Lycaon looked at me with a weird expression and then he started to laugh and stand up. 

"You can't do that you said that you wouldn't kill me, and that would kill me" he said 

"No it would just reduce your body to ashes while your soul is still seen by all" I said and then pushed my hand towards him and he screamed as my shadow-fire enveloped him burning away the shell of his body. When I was done there was a ring of ashes on the floor and a dark wolf-man like being standing where Lycaon was. I looked at him in disgust

"I knew your soul was just as bad as your heart, but I didn't think it would look like a Shadow Lycan" I said thinking of my horrors in the planet of those horrid things, and then chains shot out and started to wrap around Lycaon's soul until his body was covered in black and dark purple chains with the coils around his soul's body, and the clamps around his wrists and feet connecting to each-other like a spider's web. Then they started to drag him back, but he powered forward. I got my sword ready to force him in, but then the chains yanked harder and he went back a foot. 

"I WILL KILL YOU JACKSON, I WILL FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS VOID AND I. WILL. KILL. YOU" He said and then with a final yank he was dragged into the portal and out of sight. 

"I doubt that" I said closing the portal and turning to the other monsters and werewolves to find that there was a field of black dust. I shook my head and then it hit me. Lycaon had found a way to bound the other's souls to his to make him stronger, and when he died. They also died. I walked through the ashes and made my way to the hunt.
