Eviscerating time and space. Estrella's immense power rips open a portal before us. Racing, we emerge upon the outskirts of the packtown with a bellowing snarl. Only stopping, beholding the bloodbath before us. Muzzled lips pull back towards the one standing at the center, sneering towards me, holding my uncle's bloodied head by its salt and pepper hair.

A rumbling felt as earth explodes upwards and a dusty burnt fur mid-form steps forth, out of the dirt. "I am your Cleanser abominations; I will take great pleasure in curing your ILLNESS."

In an instant, I know that wulf, his bellow, and rising ethereal power seeping from the ground beneath us. "FATHER!"

My power transforms my form. Black ashen vaporous tendrils rise, taking flight like vultures preparing to feast. Black fire tendrils eviscerate life within the ground, releasing unlimited spirits to join this battle in its wake. "YOU! YOU ARE BEHIND ALL THIS!! IT WAS YOU ORCHESTRATING THIS!"

"Necromio. So, the rumors were true. You have been reincarnated. So good to see you again." The sneer on my face should cause him to recoil, knowing I live. Yet, it does not. I, his father, who had taken his early life for bonding with a MALE! Instead, I am met with fury uncontained. After all these years, my insolent cub returns reborn in the guise of another and RISES TO CHALLENGE ME! His compassion for his MALE mate will seal his death, as it did the first time. "GIVE OLOFI MY REGARDS, AS I WILL BE RETURNING YOU TO HIM, YOU INFECTED MONGREL!"

"Ever the fool I see, father. You speak as if you bested me in our first battle. No. You didn't." His eyes glower, eyelids pulling upwards, surprised. "I sought to reincarnate to locate my mate. Who do you think allowed my reincarnation? THIS TIME. YOU DIE.! I bellow towards the heavens. "OLOFI, IF IT IS MY TIME TO DIE ONCE MORE, LET IT BE AFTER..." My head lowers, Steeled orbs lock with him "... I HAVE KILLED THIS BASTARD!!"

My supplication was heard. The sky turns blood red, and a single white cloud parts, revealing my birth form, Necromio. His bellowing words boom throughout the heavens, "WE ARE ONE!"

Rocketing with force colliding with my mortal form being hurled upwards towards it from lava erupted beneath me at his command, I am launched. "Father!"

Death is my tone as lava propels me towards his oncoming horde. Droves of spirits, both human and animal, emerge. His rabid orbs face my dead crimson, black ones. Black and dark red tendrils form all around me, lashing to the surrounding ground. Until an unparalleled power of death eviscerates the earth with a snap shift of my black crimson orbs, my voice thunders.

Booming with unfathomable power towards me. "SABALIUS!" Necromio leers at me as our pack, exiting the portal, races to take on Lycaon.'s rogues

With a leap off the propelling lava, Necromio stood before me. His alpha tone pierces my rapidly encroaching blood rage. "REMEMBER WHY WE WERE CHOSEN. I AM NOT WEAK SABALIUS. I FIGHT PROTECTING HE WHO IS MY BEING, AND; I WILL NOT LOSE EVER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND SABALIUS, PROTECTOR OF ALEJANDRO? OLOFI CHOSE US BOTH FOR WHAT WE REPRESENT, LIGHT & DEATH. WE WILL NOT DIE THIS DAY!!' YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY PROTECTOR SABALIUS.

Seeing the opal in my swirling orbs lessen. For a moment, Necromio's Celestial Guardian voice softens. "For when we die Sabalius, it will be with our muzzles gray, our pack old, and together we will embrace eternal sleep." My elite Alpha emerges. "NOW RISE, SABALIUS, FIRST HOUND OF DEATH EMISSARY OF ASOJANO!! AWAKEN & UNLEASH YOUR TRUE MIGHT!"

Then, Necromio turns to his father; black smoke tendrils explode ravenously in waves off his form, seeking sustenance. Directed at the oncoming drove of undead rogues, Lycaon summoned. Necromio's final words are venom. "Kill THEM, SABALIUS. SHOW THEM WHY YOU ARE MY DESTINED MATE" He looks back to his father.
