Chapter 5: Trial of Strength

(Hope you all are enjoying the story!! I do apologize if I take too long. I'm just so busy with real life stuff and sometimes I don't find it in me to write. Please forgive me and have a great day! Please remain patient if I take awhile)

Andrew was on a bench sitting outside, enjoying the nature and the silence in his little personal spot. He closed his eyes and listened to the sounds of the birds chirping, but his werewolf ears made him hear a whole lot more.

???: "Hahahah, stop!"

???: "Why?" He asked with a flirty tone.

Andrew opened his eyes and saw Jason and Sky sitting together. Jason was tickling Sky, making her laugh.

Sky: "Jason, hahaha, stop!" She laughs.

Jason: "Can't, not when I'm having too much fun!"

He tickles her more, making her laugh louder. Andrew frowns a bit. Finally, Jason stops and looks at Sky for a bit before kissing her. Sky kisses back. Andrew then gets up and walk away to get away from their conversation, but his ears were didn't help him.

Jason: "I love you Sky."

Sky: "I love you too, Jason."

Their voices echo into his ears. Andrew grits his teeth and then punches a tree, making it collapse. He pants as then he starts sniffling.

Andrew: "Why...why can't I just get over it?"

He then covers his ears with his hands.

Andrew: "Why did I have to become this way...why?!" He yells in frustration.

He starts to run away with his hands turned into fists. He ran with tears on his eyes until he fell into a hole in the ground and landed in water. He surfaced up and found land to swim towards. Andrew was trapped in a cave.

Andrew: "Great...now what do I do? It's too high to jump out from." He said as he shook himself.

Andrew heard something in the darkness. Then he saw something move.

Andrew: "Who's there?"

Andrew then was able to see in the dark, thanks to him being a werewolf. He walked towards the sound and saw a light leading to the outside.

Andrew: "An exit?"

He walked out and covered his eyes since it was bright. When his vision adjusted to the light, he stumbled upon a hidden village in the deepest parts of the forest. There was villagers everywhere, chatting with others, watching the kids, doing trades. Andrew was stunned at the sight of a place undiscovered by the surface. Then, Andrew was poked from behind with a tip of the spear.

Male foreigner: (Speaks foreign language). Says the male behind him.

Andrew: "I don't understand you." He said confused.

He then was forced to the ground by two other village guards. However, Andrew overpowered them and ran away. His pursuers chased after him and he ran into the village. All of the people were human, and they saw Andrew run into the market, which was one of the most busiest places. They all looked at him as if he was a animal.

Andrew: "What is this place?"

The people were speaking their native tongue. He kept on running, until he found a wagon that was filled with hay. He quickly jumped into it. He heard several footsteps running away from his location. Andrews sighs in relief.

Andrew: "Who are these people?" He asks himself as he buries himself in hay.

The wagon he was in starts to move with him in it. He decides to remain in the wagon until he stopped moving. Time passes by and it was starting to get late. Andrew was sleeping a bit until he woke up and realized he stopped. He checked to see where he was. It was a farmhouse that was filled with animals. He got out of the wagon and tried removed the straws of hay from his hair, his ears, and his clothes. He walked outside to see he was in a open field with a two story stone house nearby.

Andrew: "I don't know where I am, but it's late and I should get back home now." He said before he started yawning.

He walks into the forest to try to find a way out.

Andrew: "The people here speak a foreign language that I never heard before, and they wear mostly leather, almost as if they were an ancient tribe or something." Andrew talks to himself as his mind drifted into a possibility that he stumbled into a lost civilization.

He then saw a open field in the forest and saw someone was had a wooden, custom made club and was training. Andrew his behind a tree to avoid detection. When he turned to look, his eyes widened.


She was training while using her club against a tree trunk. When she slammed downwards, it was obliterated into a bunch of small pieces. She was panting as if she's being doing this all day. Andrew tries to get a better better view, but ends up snapping on a stick and retreats back into the tree. After hiding for a bit, he slowly peeks from the tree to see if she was there, but he was suddenly grabbed and thrown into the open field.

Andrew: "Ow!"

Andrew rubs his head and looks up to see her club inches away from his face. Her expression was a cold and serious one.

???: (Speaks foreign language) She says loudly.

Andrew: "I'm not here to hurt you! I'm just trying to find my way home!" He says as he raises his hands up.

She notices his werewolf ears and shows a small surprised face.

???: (Speaks foreign language) She says surprised.

Andrew sighs.

Andrew: "Does anyone is this place understand me?!" He lays down after he says that.

She looked confused and started clearing her throat.

???: "What...are...you?" She says slowly as she was trying to speak so he could understand.

Andrew looks at her surprised and sits up.

Andrew: "You can understand me?"

She starts to shake her hand, signifying that she knew a little bit of the language.

Andrew: "I'm Andrew, who are you?"

Raven: "I'm Raven. Why are you here?" She said a bit faster from before.

Andrew: "I'm lost, I'm just trying to-"

He was interrupted when he heard shouting and running towards him. He was tackled from behind and restrained with metal restraints. They spoke in their native language and moved Raven with care.

Andrew: "Hey! Let me go!" He said as he resisted.

They knocked him out by hitting him in the back of the head. When he came to, he founded himself in shackles attached to the wall and was shirtless. It was the next day. Andrew was in a cell with cold stone walls and flooring. He heard loud voices down a hallway and heard a loud door open and saw Raven again.

Raven: "Are you injured?"

Andrew: "I'm fine." He said, a bit upset with his current situation.

Raven turned to the guard. She spoke to him in their language.

Raven: (Release him.)

Guard: (Can't do that ma'am, the village elders have sentenced this animal to The Arena.)

Raven: (This is no animal, it's a hybrid of a man and a wolf.) She said a bit angrily.

Guard: (I'm sorry ma'am, but I have to stick to my orders.)

Raven then looked to speak with Andrew. His wrists start to bruise.

Raven: (Then remove his shackles.)

Guard: (He would escape if I did that.)

Raven: "Andrew, can you promise not to escape if we removed your shackles?"

Andrew: "Why am even here in the first place?! I didn't do anything! I haven't hurt anyone." He said angrily as he leaned forward.

Raven: "I'm sorry, I don't have any control to let you go. All I can do is make you feel comfortable."

Andrew groans.

Andrew: "Just leave...I can handle this..." He says as he looks down.

Raven then sighs and looks at Andrew with a serious face. She leaves soon after that. Later on in the afternoon, Andrew was taken to an Arena where a large amount of spectators were watching him. They remove his chains and he rubs them to ease the pain. On the opposite side of him, there was a large gate opening and five Village Gladiators came out with spears and shields.

Andrew: "Great, this is just great..." He said as he sighed.

He looked up to see Raven underneath a decorated tent and was standing beside to what seemed to be the Village Elders. A Village Trainer then tossed Andrew a sword and shield on the ground so Andrew could pick it up. Then one of the Village Elders raised his hand up and he looked more decorated than the rest. Then drums started playing, meaning that the fight begins. One of the Gladiators threw a spear at Andrew, he deflected it, then another Gladiator kicked Andrew away.

Village Gladiator 1: "Hybrid." He said insulting Andrew.

Andrew: "Really? Name calling?"

The Gladiator was about to throw another spear, but Andrew charged at him with his Shield, knocking him down. Another Gladiator tried to stab Andrew with his spear, but only grazed his arm. Andrew hits him with the end of his sword, knocking him out. The crowds was cheering as they entertained by the fight. Raven watches Andrew as he blocked and countered with the remaining Gladiator's attacks. He grabbed one of the Gladiators and threw him against another Gladiator and then slashed at another Gladiator. Andrew was about to get charged from behind, but he threw his shield at the Gladiator's head. The Gladiator that was slashed then crawled on the ground, trying to get away from him. Andrew picked him up by the throat.

Crowd: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" They chanted.

Andrew looked at the crowd and listened to their chanting and then looked back at the Gladiator. He rose his sword in the air...and dropped his sword. Andrew let go of the Gladiator and turns towards the crowd.

Andrew: "I AM NOT HERE FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT!" He shouted very loudly, that shook the crowd with fear.

Andrew looked good the Gladiator on the ground and extends a hand. The Gladiator hesitated but grabbed on to his hand and got back up. Then more village guards arrived and surrounded Andrew. Then put him back in chains.

Village Leader: "Hold."

The guards stopped and Andrew looked at the village leader.

Village Leader: "Bring him to me."

The guards nod and they lead Andrew to their Village Leader's home.

Andrew: 'I'm not going home anytime soon...' He says in his head.
