Chapters 3 and 4

Chapter 3 – A shadowy Meeting

Csilla Shrowd found herself walking through the graveyard where her first encounter with magic had happened. She had tried to forget that day, the terrible day she lost her brother. The trouble was her mind wouldn’t let her forget, so she replayed the day in her mind. The day was a Thursday nothing special but the clouds overhead were extremely dark and threatening. They seemed to ooze evil and as they walked Csilla thought she could see eyes watching her and her brother. They decided to go through the graveyard because it would cut off of their journey, back then the graveyard was new and had only a few graves. “I’m scared Fletcher” Csilla blurted, “Don’t worry, not much further now sis” replied Fletcher. Suddenly they were surrounded by men in black outfits, all with fire in their hands aimed at Fletcher. “Let my sister go, she hasn’t done anything” pleaded Fletcher, the response came from a man to his left, “No one lives, anyone who knows of us dies and thanks to you, your sister knows”
Fletcher knew they both wouldn’t survive this attack but he knew one man who could get his sister to safety and that was all that mattered. “Lupus, Now” Fletcher yelled, out of nowhere a wolf leaped out of the ground and grabbed Csilla pulling her into a grave, while this distracted the men around Fletcher he took out a sword and the blade turned to ice. He started attacking the men around him, each one turning to ice and shattering as the sword passed through their flesh. The leader then thrust his palm out and Fletcher flew backwards into a tree cracking his spine but with his last breath he managed to say “She will live…. She will help him…and they will bring you down….” Then his body slumped to the ground. After the men had gone and Lupus knew it was clear, he brought the confused Csilla out of the grave. “My name is Lupus Forerunner and I am going to take care of you”



Ever since then Csilla had trusted that stranger who saved her life, and now he needed her help. She got up from her brothers grave and saw the familiar mustang pull up. From the drivers side Lupus got out followed by a vampire and a kid, as they approached Csilla noticed that Lupus had the flowers he always brought for her brother. “Hello, Old friend” she said, Lupus looked hurt but then burst into a huge grin and hugged her, “Old? I’m only two hundred and nineteen. Anyway it’s good to see you again, truly it has been too long.” “yes it has, and compared to me you are old. I see your friends haven’t improved much over the years” she said. “Now play nice, these are my colleagues, this is Matta Walker. He is my apprentice and has the ability to walk through walls. Now this is Professor Nick Hellion, Scientist and Vampire.” They shook hands and then all of them headed back to the car. “So how can I help you Lupus?” Csilla asked, “there are reports coming in of the old demons rising, but also I believe it’s linked to a group of mercenaries called the Grinning Death.”
Lupus said. “Sorry, but why are you called Lupus?” Matta butted in. “Because your one of the rare mages who can transform into an animal, that’s how you were able to track me, am I right?” asked Nick. “yes, your right. I’m one of the last of the Animage. We have been killed off for centuries because the magical world thinks we are dangerous. My form is the wolf, one of the hardest forms to take.” He paused as if deciding what to say and what not to say then carried on “I have been tasked with creating a team to fight the rising demons, and I believe each of you have a skill that will help. Plus I owe your brother alot Csilla, he saved me. On the night he died he asked me a favour that would make us even, he asked me to watch and protect you.”




Chapter 4 – A message from the Past

As Lupus drove on with the others keeping to themselves, he thought to himself about how much had changed in two hundred years. Not just the world but also how he had changed, he remembered being a young soldier called out to war. He remembered about the friends he made and lost, he thought about the memories of loved ones he had lost. Then he decided not to dwell on the past because he had a mission to do, he had a world to save. Lupus pulled up outside of a run down council estate and got out of the car. The others made to follow but he gestured them to stop, “I have to meet them alone, they don’t like change and new people” “but they could be dangerous and how do you know they will even be here?” asked Matta. “Because they sent me a message, before I picked you up. Plus they don’t want a war, they need to talk” replied Lupus, Matta had one last question before he would be happy “Who or what are they?” “ They are werewolves, I know them through my time being a wolf. They are loyal and they might be the only ones who know the truth about what happen with the murder.” With that Lupus walked into the nearest building.

He walked to the fifth floor and knocked on the door marked by a paw print, this was the symbol for a werewolf base and made it harder for humans to stumble upon by accident. A man with an unruly beard answered the door, “well, well, if it isn’t one eye himself, how long has it been?” “Too long shamus, way too long.” The two of them shook hands and entered the apartment. “I got your message, you said you have news about the murder.” Said Lupus, “always down to business with you, yes we have news but you won’t like it.” Shamus replied, “it’s a creature by the name of Grinny DeMorte. He claims to be a demon from Beneath time.”
Lupus was silent for a moment then said “This is bad, the demons from Beneath time were sealed there over a millennia ago by the race known as ancients. If the seal is broken we have trouble coming. I must ask if you will stand with us if a war comes, you and your people will be needed.” Shamus lowered his head before responding. “My clan will fight with you but the others, I cannot say. There have been fights between clans recently and old rivalries have begun again. I will try to get them to see sense, although I fear they will not. Take care One Eye, I will answer the call to battle but remember we are few so save it till a dire moment.”
“I promise I will only call you when there is no other option, Look after yourself Shamus, I look forward to hunting with you many more times.” Lupus said as he began to leave. When he reached his car, the others were waiting expectantly, “I see your unharmed, what did they have to say?” asked Csilla, “They are trust worthy creatures, and they confirmed my greatest fear. We have a great battle ahead of us, and I fear we will not be ready it.”

Chapters

the chapters on here will most likely be beefed out and chapter 3 and 4 will be posted on some time next week, but they have more about Lupus and his past

The Sanctuary Rebuilt

The wounded man fell backwards trying to escape, he had been running so long. why had this stranger attacked him? why did he keep smiling? all these questions he wanted answers for but more importantly he wanted to get away from this maniac. suddenly the stranger appeared out of thin air with a popping sound. "why are running? I can end all your pain right now." the stranger said."who are you?" the man asked desperately. "my name is Grinny de'morte. I have come to claim a debt owed by your family to me over a century ago" the man suddenly remember a tale his grandmother used to tell him. The story starts with a war raging and people dying on the battlefield, a lone soldier runs off to a clearing and begins a ritual to summon a creature of darkness. this creature made an offer to the soldier, the creature would destroy the soldiers enemy at the cost of his families souls for the next two centuries. The soldier was shocked and didn't want this but a look at the battle told him his side was losing and if they lost the world would be in ruins, so the soldier made the deal. The deal was signed in blood but the soldier made a demand of his own, when the creature would collect the souls he would become mortal and able to die. This demand gave the soldiers family a chance to end the curse but no one was able do so. now the man knew he would die but he made one last attempt to save his family, he left a message for his family to find. The message said "my time is up dear ones but you can still be saved, search for the one eyed man. He will travel with a beast and a boy, darkness will follow in his wake. this man will be able to defeat Grinny de'morte but only after he knows it's name. know that I love you forever and eternity". once the message was finished he looked at Grinny and said "I am ready, take me but know this, you will be destroyed and it will happen before you take another soul from my family" at this grinny laughed a monsterous cackle. "fool, no mortal can kill me. not even a magic mortal has a chance. I am a demon from beneath time itself" and with that he lunged at bit the man into pieces. Grinny then walked off down the alley and disappeared with a pop, leaving a bloody mess for the local authorities to clean up. News of the murder spread and reached the HeadQuarters of the Sanctuary in scotland, they began searching into known criminals who used the same methods of killing but nothing turned up until one of the researches decided to look into myths and legends and found the demon known as Grinny.

The Sanctuary Rebuilt: The rise of a Legend

Matta Walker had been sitting on the edge a clearing for the best part of an hour, waiting for his friend to return. He was thinking aloud "what am I doing here? I could be at home chilling and listening to music". when out of nowhere he heard a voice saying " but that wouldn't be much fun now, would it?". Lupus Forerunner stepped out of the shadows to join Matta. "What are we doing here?" Matta asked, "we're recuiting, and I think he just took the bait" replied Lupus. As he spoke a figure was moving across the feild ahead of them, the figure was trying to hide behind cover as he moved. The figure got to his target, a stray chicken hopping around near a few old books. He timed his moves and grabbed the chicken before it could escape, as he sank his fangs into it and started to drink it's blood, he sensed movement behind him. He whirled round to find Lupus and Matta staring at him. "hello, Professor Hellion. we come with an offer for you" Lupus said."you have no business with me, one eye, nor does your scared friend, now be off before I decide I want human blood instead" Professor Hellion replied between mouthfuls of blood. Matta was about to protest to being called scared but a look from Lupus silenced him before he could speak. "Now Professor, that's not a nice way to introduce yourself, perhaps I should start. My name is Lupus Forerunner and this is my .... apprentice shall we say" Lupus said tipping his head in greeting. "You obviously know my name but for the sake of manners, my name is Professor Nick Hellion. Scientist and Vampire" he said the last word with emphasis to try and stir a reaction but none came. "we have come to recruit you Professor, we need your help to rebuild the sanctuary and start a new order." said Lupus, Professor Hellion was thinking on his reply for about a minute when he said "It doesn't concern me, All I cared for is gone. you have no way to get me to help". "we have the name of the men who killed your family. as it happens they are the ones we are after at the moment. we could use your help professor."Lupus offered his hand, which was shaken by the Vampire. They headed off towards Lupus' car which was parked in a barn nearby. The car he had was a black mustang with a red stripe across the top, for a sports car it had enough room to fit the three men with more room for at least five more people. as they headed down the road, Matta decided to speak up "so where we headed next?" "we need to recruit one more person to the team, a women by the name of Csilla Shrowd. she is an old friend and a powerful sourceress" replied Lupus. it wasn't the answer Matta was hoping for but it made sense to get some more people on the team even if it was just one more. "are you sure it's wise getting this women, she has a bad reputation?" Professor Hellion added, he had heard of Csilla Shrowd but only in rumours and bad ones at that. "I trust her with my life, and that's all that you need to know for now"

An idea for a story

Here's an Idea for a story based from Derek Landy's Skilduggery Pleasant. A team from the Scottish Sanctuary consisting of four members. The team leader is an Irishman who looks like he has been through a few wars. His second in command is a scottish Vampire who can transform at will but does not feed on humans, only stray animals. The third member is a woman who seems to be surrounded by a cloak of shadow. The final member is an elemental mage with an ability to phase through solid matter.

A few ideas for names

I came up with these names awhile ago but never really had time to add to them, maybe this'll be a new leaf.

Deathly Eyes - a curse has left him unable to look at people, because if he does they die
Brutus Blades - a muscled filled man who uses a sword that forms from the anger in the area
Corpral Wolf - a soldier who has been lost in time until an accident brought him into his future where he now makes a last bid attempt at saving the family he cares for
Lupus Forerunner - a werewolf who has trained in elemental magic and can melt into the shadows

Just a few idea I might make into stories
