"Where am I?" I ask aloud. i start to look around, and see stone pillars along the sides of the room, and a Wolf statue in center, I look at myself, and notice that I am lying in a puddle of my own making, "Deal with later." I say addressing the puddle, and standing to shaking myself off. I also notice my arm is glowing and has metal bits on it, "What is this?" I ask myself.
"Hello?" A voice called out from behind me. "PAW Patrol, we're here to help!" The voice called out, getting closer, I knew my Father told me to find that Pack, but I felt like something was wrong, like I had to hide, so I hid behind the statue. "Huh, a Temple," the Voice says noting. "We'll definitely have to tell Tracker and Carlos about this place," a second voice said, "Alright, Marshall, you search the left side of the room, I'll search the right side," the first Voice commanded. "Alright, Chase, let's get to it." The second Voice, Marshall replied. Sounds of sniffing filled my ears, I knew They would soon find my puddle, that they would soon find me.
I decided to come out, "Hello?" I said meekly, "W-who's there?" I asked, scared. "Hello, I'm Marshall," Marshall, a white pup with black spots in red leathers, said calmly, turning to face me. "And this is Chase," motioning to Chase, a brown and light brown pup in blue leathers. I then noticed what was around their necks, and got scared again, "Collars, poor thing." I said. "What do you mean, 'poor thing?'" Chase asked concerned. "You're slaves, aren't you?" I replied confused as to why I was even scared. "Huh?" Chase and Marshall say in unison. "What do you mean, 'slaves?'" Chase asked even more concerned. "Are you OK?" Marshall asked also concerned. "I don't now," I answered sadly. "Last thing I remember, my Father told me to find you two, next thing I know, I woke up here." I say, trying not to panic, I can smell a Human coming. "I don't remember anything that happened in between." I continued, trying not to cry.
"Hey, Pups, your pup tags stopped working, so I came to check on you." a third Voice says. All three of us look to see a Human, I change into my Human Form, and jump to my feet, only to realize I can't. "oh, shit!" I yell, and try, and fail to change into my Beast Form to lunge at the human, "Ruff, net!" Chase barks, "What are you doing?" Marshall asked scared for the Human. "Freeing you from the Enemy," I spat angrily. The Human bent down to my eye level, "Two things," He said calmly. "One: talking animals, like Marshall and Chase, and you have been legally considered people for about six years now," He continued, getting closer. "Two: Who are you calling 'The Enemy'?" He asked, as he reached out his right hand, knelt down to my level, and transformed it into a paw. "You're like me?" I say amazed. "Yup, I'm Ryder, what's your name?" Ryder asks calmly. "Casey," I answer quickly. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in, "My Father told me to find you." I say nervously.
"Your Father, I knew Him, I'm sorry for your loss." Ryder said sadly. "Do you want to come with us back to Adventure Bay?" He asks. "With all due respect, Ryder, sir," Chase started to say. "But we can't let him live with us, he tried to attack you." Ryder considered it a moment, and said, "He's just scared, Chase, let's let him answer." I considered it a moment, my Father told me to find the PAW Patrol, now what? "Alright, I guess I can go with you, but I'm not wearing a Moon-cursed collar." Ryder put his on my cheek to try to comfort me. "Of course not, that would be illegal, we won the war," Chase and Marshall both looked confused and asked, "The War, what War?" Ryder sighed and began to explain, "The Canine Liberation War," Ryder explained, "Casey, how much did your Father tell you?" Ryder asked me. "Not much, just that He lost my Mother." I answered honestly.
Then we all heard it, a howl, the howl of a Werewolf changing into their Beast Form for the first time. "What was that, Ryder?" Marshall asked scared. "Sounded like a Werewolf going Beast Mode for the first time," I said. "Must be a Full Moon tonight." Ryder, Chase, and Marshall all look at me confused. "'Beast Mode,' 'Full Moon,' that stuff is real?" Chase asked worried. "Are we in danger?" Marshall asked scared. "Looks like we're gonna need your help, Casey," Ryder told me. "Are you in?" He asked me. "I'm in!" I shout wholeheartedly. "Alright, let's go find us a Werewolf." Ryder says confidently. And so we all rush out of the Temple.
