Chapter XXX: The Day for Battle.

Abigail:

Date: July 30th, 2019.

The next morning after breakfast, we headed to the forest and prepared ourselves and gathered herbs for the battle once we got to our assigned Divisions.

Later that day, we were well enough prepared and then we all headed straight for the edge of the Northeast Forest, the area where we entered and exited each time we left, we waited for the Diablos to show their faces like they meant it and showed that they wanted a fight, then they were going to get one for sure.

It did not take long for them to make themselves known to us, as it would usually take them around four minutes or more to show themselves. "I see you decided to finally make yourselves known." Aurora told TIO as she stood tall in front of him. "Indeed, and I have brought extra help with me as well." He replied. "What are you--" Before she could finish, numerous spirits appeared right in front of him; some I recognized and some I did not. Amongst them was a muscular battle-scarred he-wolf with light brown fur, dark brown paws, and green eyes with his sclera being fully pitch-black with black tar coming out of both eyes, mouth, and nose with a mix of blood as well with the addition of his throat being torn out and the blood running down his chest, staining the fur on his chest. On his right was another muscular, battle-scarred he-wolf with light brown fur, dark brown paws, and green eyes with his sclera being fully pitch-black with black tar coming out of both eyes, mouth, and nose with a mix of blood as well with the addition of his throat being torn out and the blood running down his chest, staining the fur on his chest; and on his left Next to him stood a he-wolf with gray fur, a brown muzzle and ears, a long, snaking scar on his left eye, and yellow eyes with his sclena being black and his body covered with recently received scars with blood dripping from them, staining his fur--the other animal was a she-wolf with tan fur, blood soaked fur, and blue eyes. Next to her was a brown-and-white male wolf with torn ears and blue eyes also. The other animals with them, I did not really know. "You called, sir?" The first wolf asked TIO in a malicious tone of voice as he looked on at all of us. "Well, if isn't the animals of the forest? It's a pleasure to see all of you again after such a long time." He said. "Yes, I was a forest animal once until I was exiled from my home."

Chief ArrowHeart: "What do you want?"

Wolf: "To fight, of course! Isn't that the reason why we're all here right now?"

Bellatrix: "Why else would we be here?!"

Wolf: "Slow your roles, now, kid."

SunPelt: "You're not as short-tempered as your sister, I see. But, you are a fierce one."

Bellatrix: "Shut it, SunPelt, this doesn't concern you! How on Earth are you even able to make yourself known and be able to talk to a person even though Milly killed you and those other two?"

Wolf: "Ahh, speaking of which."

Bellatrix:

He looked over at Milly and I could hear him quietly ask her: "Milly, you wanna reveal what you have been doing for the past few weeks in secret up until now?" She was hesitant about his question at first while I was wondering what in God's name was he talking about. She walked over towards them and turned around to face all of us. "Every night for the past few weeks now, I have been training with WoodTooth and the rest of the spirits from the Forest of Heartless Souls to take out my anger on my uncle on something else rather than the others around me." She confessed to us. We were all in complete shock by what we were seeing and hearing. Our own best friend, training with demons from hell just to get the hatred for her uncle off of her mind only to hurt and possibly even kill others? What was she even thinking? Had she gone mad or something?! "You traitorous serpent bitch!" Abigail snarled; Milly did not reply to what she said but then went on to confess: "The only one who knew about the whole thing was Amethyst."

We all looked at Amethyst as she plainly said: "It's true."

Wolf 2: "Looks like your little secret is no longer a secret anymore, now is it?"

WoodTooth: "She just said that, SplinterFang."

SplinterFang: "There's no harm in saying it once again, my son."

"That does it!" WoodTooth then pinned SplinterFang to the ground and had him on his back as he growled at him. "Surely you wouldn't kill you own father again, now would you?" SplinterFang asked him. "I killed you once, and I will kill you again!" WoodTooth growled at him in response; he then sank his razor sharp claws into his chest and slowly ran his paw down his belly as he sliced SplinterFang open, exposing his insides while SplinterFang let out a loud, almost deafening blood-curling scream I had ever heard in my entire life in the process of it all! Then, all went silent as WoodTooth removed his blood-covered paw SplinterFang as his body slowly began to turn into dust until he was gone and no more. We were all in complete shock and disgust by what just happened that Chief ArrowHeart broke the silence by asking him: "What was all that for?!"

WoodTooth: "I see you don't know your full family history. No, not your family history... our family history."
