wolfbane ilse: prologue
The guard patrolling the prison walls was rounding the east corner slowly, his paws making barely a sound; his sword clinking lightly against the plates of his armor, when his attention was caught by a strange smell. He lifted his muzzle and sniffed the air, his pointed ears standing straight up. After a couple seconds, the hair on the back of his neck stood up and he snarled and flattened his ears back.
"THERE'S A HUMAN IN THE PRISON YARD!!!" he yelled, drawing his sword as he jumped to the ground "ALL AVAILABLE WOLVES TO ARMS!! BLOCK ALL EXITS! FIND HIM!!"
He ran towards the prison building, intent on finding the human intruder. When he reached the buildings front entrance, he stopped and sniffed the air. There was a new scent mixed with the human's. It smelled like something the humans used to mine quarries. It smelled like chemicals and plastic. His eyes widened in fear as the front of the building exploded, throwing him backwards into the air. He hit the ground with a crunch and rolled to a stop ten feet from where he had been standing.
He moaned as he looked towards the fiery hole in the prison building, blinking as a human male walked out of the flames, followed closely by a wolf female with wings resembling a dragon's. The wolf stopped as she noticed the guard, a wicked grin appeared on her face, her eyes flashing evilly in the fire light. She walked towards the guard and kneeled next to him. The guard's eyes widened fearfully as he saw her face.
"N-n-no"
"Goodnight my dear, sleep tight" she chuckled and grabbed his head.
"P-please don..."
She twisted violently, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. She stood, unfurling her wings.
"Oh that feels great. These babies haven't been stretched in forever" she smiled wickedly, closed her wings and started for the front gate "let's go" she ordered as she passed the human.
"Yes Twitchiarous, let's go"
"Please, call me Twitchy" she stopped outside the compound and looked up at the sky "finally free. I'm finally free and the world is going to pay dearly for what they did to me. Hey I made a rime" she laughed then grabbed the human and opened her wings. She took one last look at the prison compound and took off into the night sky.
