Nicholas, EJ, Taki, Yuma, Harua, K, Fuma, Jo, & Maki all woke up as they found a wolfblood sitting before them. This wolfblood in particular went by Z. Z was tasked with watching over them after they all passed out & the others on watch had given up.
Z was different. He seemed calm, but his heart beat in shock. No one expected the nine to awaken. "私たちはどのくらい寝ていましたか？" (How long were we asleep ?), EJ asked. Z answered him flatly. The prophecy was nothing to play around with. Fate was nothing you should willingly upset. Let's say everyone has a destiny, Fate is who oversees every destiny they possibly could. No mistakes. Nothing happened without Fate having carefully thought over everything she saw. Especially if sometimes most destinies just appeared blank besides a significant event. Only a god could step in to stop a certain destiny or change it completely.
"An hour or two. I am surprised you all have woken up now." Maki rolled his eyes. Something about Z, he just did not like. He felt that they weren't being told something. "あれは何でしたっけ？ 触ったものです。" (What was that thing ? The thing we touched.) Z noticeably looked like he wanted to avoid the question, but there was no use. It wasn't like the young wolfbloods were aware of what they walked into. "The sacred moonstone is what you touched. However, it reacted different to you. It's never shot a bright blinding beam of light from it before."
Yuma stood up with help from Maki & Taki. By now, all nine of them were fully standing while Z remained sat in the same position he's been the past two hours. "Reacted different how ? Why do you have a sacred moonstone ? Why are you in Hill Stone ?" Z was a bit overwhelmed by the questions as he trained his focus on the moonstone, given you could see it from where he sat. Completely lost of color & the night sky was dark with barely visible stars.
"全ての答えを持っているわけではありません。 それは当然のことでした。 影の街はいつも私たちのような人々の故郷です。 月の石はリーダーが持ってきました。" (I don't have all the answers. It was just natural. The shadow city would always be home to people like us. The moonstone was brought here by our leader.) Wolfbloods living out of their types was not a regular occurrence. Neither were wolfbloods being back in the city. Nicolas snarled as he pointed out what Z had just told them, "Who's your leader ? Why did they even have this moonstone ? What were you all doing with it before we arrived ?"
Before Z could answer a woman entered the room they were talking in. The air within the room seemed to chill as she walked past the mine of them towards the window. It was obvious she hated them asking so much of Z, but intended on answering. Akira was her name. "The moonstone belongs to me. It was meant to be a gift to the heavens. We howled & roamed around it as a show of admiration..."
K interjected. This wasn't the full story. There was something they still withheld. "You started the rumors, didn't you ? The ones about a fourth wolfblood type..." Akira nodded as she casually sat beside Z. "その噂は、月の石により多くの狼の血を流す手段でした。 空に触れることは見た目ほど簡単ではありません。 神々は扱いにくいかもしれません。 たとえ私の意図が純粋だったとしてもです。" (The rumors were a means of getting more wolfbloods to the moonstone. Contacting the heavens is not as easy as it looks. Gods can be quite difficult to deal with. Even with intentions as pure as mine were.)
The conversation had come to a halt as frightened howls erupted outside the room. Akira rushed to see what was happening with the others not far behind her. Almost seemingly burned into the grass beside the moonstone read the following:
私を抱きしめてください。 予言を受け入れなさい。(Embrace me. Embrace the prophecy.)
This clearly was a message for the nine wolfbloods who suddenly had all eyes on them once again. They seemed to glow from the inside out & all touched the moonstone once again. Upon contact, the moonstone glowed & reflected a symbol onto the sky.
Each of the nine were quick to spot that they each had the symbol on their wrists. Akira snarled as she made her pack stand back from the nine. Unfortunately, her plan worked, but didn't work in her favor. Grudgingly she made herself kneel & let out a single howl that was reciprocated by her pack.
They had the mark of the moon. Meaning they were clearly marked by the very moon god that everyone seemed to admire & fear all at the same time. Watanabe Enmei. The heavens had plans for the nine... The fourth wolfblood type had come to truth.
What happens now ?
The END.
終わり。
