Unknown's Diary..

Blood doesn't grow on trees

Unknown's side:

Good luck Slimey... Unknown thought as she sent Slimey to follow the Sharklins.

"A Galaxtian...we don't get many of you critters around these parts of the forest...you lost? Lil lady" The alpha spoke to her. Unknown looks up to look at the guy talking to her. He was a muscular man, around his 40s, he had a beard growing in nicely, a bear skin covering half of his body, and leather shorts. He had multiple scars all over him too. The only difference between him and the other wolves was that he had no fur, he seemed like a regular human, just with wolf ears and tail.

"I'm here searching for ingredients to make a potion to earth..." Unknown spoke calmly, her eyes turning black as their default. "One of the ingredients...Is werewolf blood" 

The wolves around her growl, murmur between each other or just step back. The Alpha glared at her "...Then you'll have to check another pack then, we won't offer any of our blood". Unknown stood up, only to be shoved back down to her knees by two other wolves "Mm.. please, I don't require much, just enough to" She was cut off

"Do you think our blood grows on trees?!" The wolf girl from before snapped. "We already have fights with those finned freaks almost every day! Now you expect us to hand over our blood to you? Don't make me laugh.." 

"Woof hold your tongue!" The alpha hissed at her.

Woof quieted down almost instantly, her claws clenching into a fist. "But she is correct, Galaxtian, blood may be insignificant for you, but for us, every drop spilt is a chance for us to die later. We would rather not take that chance" The alpha spoke calmly "I however will provide you with a place to stay for the night...you've come a long way have you not?"

Unknown nods

"So stay for the night... but no trying to harvest our blood as we sleep. We are giving our kindness to you, do not abuse it"

Unknown got up again, and no wolves tried to hold her down "Thank you...I will not misuse your kindness" She bows.

"Woof, since you seem to enjoy letting that mouth of yours run loose, why don't you show her where she'll sleep and teach her about our culture" The alpha glared at her. Woof glared back. It had turned into a stare-off.

"Psst, Furrbone, your Chockie if Woof backs down"
"You're on fleabag" 

Unknown turned around to see some wolves looking at the two, and others placing bets on who would back down first. Woof and the Alpha kept staring until Woof's ears and tail went down. The alpha kept staring her down and towering over her.

"Ugh..fine" Woof backs off, some of the wolves saying a quiet "yes" at least the ones who won the bet.

"Come on you horned freak.." Woof groaned and went over to a den, Unknown following behind her. She looked around to see the way the way the wolves lived. They had dead carcases around, some of them half-eaten, others were just bones, and both carcases had flies flying around them. Her eyes turned green and black in disgust and a hint of fear. The disgust was due to the meat just being on the ground, who knows what has been on that dirt? The fear was due to how barbaric they seemed... They all gave her stone-cold glares, and for a sliver of a second, she thought some of them wanted to eat her.

"We're here" Woof's voice snapped her back to reality. They arrived at the den, the floor was just dirt, and it smelled like a dead possum in there. "It's not fancy but it's enough to sleep" Unknown bows "Thank you for this...den" Woof scoffed "Yeah yeah, just get up... why are you even here?" She asked.

Unknown got up "I'm here to find ingredients for a potion to allow me to enter Earth to complete a quest." Woof turns her head to the side in confusion "Earth? Isn't that the planet full of humans?" Unknown nods "My brother is there.." Her eyes turned red.

"Wohoah! Look at you getting all pissed off!" Woof laughed loudly "Never knew you creatures had it in you". Unknown's eyes went white in surprise, then back to black as her default "Anger isn't our main drive" She said plainly, gaining a groan from Woof "Ugh...back to being a prestigious horn-brained dimwit" Woof got on all fours and walked like a wolf into the den, her limbs seemed to have slightly changed shape to help her walk on all fours. 

"Come on, sleep here for the night... wait, where's the other one? The mucus-ridden puddle?"  Woof asked, Unknown crouched down and walked in too. "I sent her to follow the Sharklins, perhaps they have the seaweed we need"

Woof laughs loudly "Guess we ain't the only ones dealing with nosey intruders, serves those gill-faced goons right"

After having a rather...disgusting dinner with the Wolves, Unknown went back to the den she was offered to stay in. As she tried to make it homier, Woof came in "Hey...I get why you're heading to Earth but why the Slime?" She asked, no snarkiness in her tone at all this time, just pure curiosity 

"There is an artifact that requires her to recover. It's also on earth, so we're going together" Unknown explained, Woof scoffed "And you seriously trust her?" Unknown nods "She has given me no reason to not trust her...Unlike your pack"

"Woah, okay, Galaxtian's got fangs I see" Woof smirks, Unknown took it literally and checked her teeth "..Not more than I should.." Woof immediately cringed "Uh..that's just a figure of speech, celestials you guys are literal" She was about to walk out when suddenly Unknown asked, "Why do you wish to be Alpha?"

Woof stopped "...I want the werewolves and wolves here to adapt and find better ways to live finally, but of course, TrAdiTiOn iS mOrE iMpOrTaNt"  She growls "The humans here have changed and built so many new things, I've seen it! We wolves can do just that, maybe even better! I just need that position to do it"

"Perhaps you could join us" Unknown suggested, Woof rolled her eyes "Sorry, but I ain't no pet. Cya Galaxtian... oh and if you want our blood so bad...Go take the blood from the dead bodies, we leave em outside our territory to distract potential threats" and with that, Woof left.

"Hm...A dead body pile?...uegh... The things I do to fulfil my duty..."
