Chapter 3

The sound of wings flapping neared overhead. "We must hurry" Tide whispered rushing to the door. Overcast shook his head "wait so are you real? Can you turn- into a puddle?" "ssh" Tide mumbled towards him,She quietly raised her pair was it the water deforphmed, she lower what was left of her arm,as the dephomed water floated. Overcast watched wide eyed. The water soon shaped into a small key. "Wait dont you have to open it on the other side-" Tide looked at him confused. "Oh right. You don't understand. These are older doors then what you may be used too" "uh huh- i've never actually been to the world center so not really" "oh well these doors are older and different, they made the key fit in both ways- " "really?" Tide looked rather worried. "..yes" Shed stuck the water key into the lock opening the door. "There," she whispered as the key came back forming into her missing paw. Overcast nudged the door all the way open checking if the coast was clear. He didn't see any owls so he stepped out. "Alright Tide you know more about this than me you lead the way" He whispered. Tide did not respond. Overcast looked behind him and no one was there. He looked back at the bench where he'd originally seen Tide. A puddle was on the bench the water dripped down to the ground.Overcast let out a small smile. "Thank you" he whispered before running off. He darted up the nearest staircase, he slowered as he neared the top. As he looked around at the top he realized he didn't know the way out. Two halls stood in front of him, One to the left,one to the right. "oh no-" Overcast mumbled. He Turned to the right hallway. "Right is always right.. Right?" he trotted down the right hallway, it was enacted and dimly lit with strange torches. Tapestries of what looked like a king and skilled warriors hung on the walls. "How old are these," he mumbled, touching one of the paintings. Due to the rest of the castle's appearance he goes around 100, But no kingdoms had been created since the age of Glatica. The painting showed a black wolf with a crown, the crown hadashim shim red diamond that was pure black.The black wolf's eyes had the same simering black color. The black wolf wore a dark red cape and seemed to be crying. Overcast looked at the tapstre more intrigued why a painting like this would be shown about their ruler. He noticed that the wolf stood on a balcony in the rain, a rose was lying in front of him. Overcast let go of the painting, understanding this meant a death of some wolf. He lowered his head and continued down the hall.

He saw a glimpse of sun light and raced over to the end of the hallway but quickly came to a stop. Scorch stood beside Pipet while they were talking in what seemed to be a throne room. Toony sat on the old but beautiful throne, Tumbleweed and Heavydirtysould stood beside him. "Listen black wind alerted me, he saw you coming this way." "And this is my home land" Toony barked back at Scorchs comment. "Yes well, I'm afraid not. This place is not your homeland. The underworld is. Because that is where you pack is" He paused and looked at tumbleweed. "I thought that one was dead" "Black wind really believed that MHM?" "I had doubts myself it was foolish he fell for such a thing. But either way she too belongs in the underworld" "We are no longer associated with them" Tumbled weed growled.Scorch smirked. "Is that so" "Wolfs have rights to leave packs, father don't even try your manipulation on them" Pipet barked in emotionless toon. Everybody's ears perked at Pipets comment. Toony got off his throne and stood next to Tumble weed. HeavyDirtySoul quickly moved to stand beside them as well. Scorch whipped around and used his head like a mountain goat.he slammed his head into Pipet which She then knocked him back. "Do not undermine me child" Scorch growled and blood dripped from his forehead from Pipets horns. "Am i not allowed to have a different view?" "YES" Scorch growled. Pipet then raised her wings and raced over to scorch she bang the horns into his head again. Scorch let out a whine of pain and he shoved her away. Scorch raised his paws,so he scratched her but pipet quickly moved and bit Scorched neck. Scorch stumbled back. "I am a Wolf NOT a Weapon" Scorch stared at his daughter in pure fear before lowering his head. "I understand," Scorch began to stumble out of the throne room. "We best leave and treat your wounds" Pipet calmly spoke,Scorch nodded and flew out of a huge hole in the castle's roof. Pipet lifted into the air and hovered for a moment staring at Toony. "Thank you" Toony mumbled. Pipet smiled and her Bright blue eyes were no longer hiding by black mind control. "Of course" She dipped her head as her eyes turned black again, she flew up and followed scorch out of the castle.
