I was beyond greatful for this.

Now, now I just hope that they can also change at will.

Despite my excitement, blackness starts to crawl into my vision, and I was falling.

•°°•°°•°°•

"I'm so sorry I can't do much else for you." A deep males voice whispered, echoing through my mind.

Who are you? I've heard your voice several time now. It sounds so familiar, yet so strange and far away.

"All will be explained in due time my . . ." His voice paused, before starting again.

"Time will explain everything. For now, all I need is to know you'll be safe. No more fighting hundred year old sorcerers. Please, stop exerting yourself." His voice was pleading, yet I couldn't make him any promises.

I cannot and will not make a promise I cannot keep. I will do what needs to be done, as long as I can protect those around me.

"At the expense of your own life?"

My people needed me. I will not let them down. At least, not while I can help it. I will do everything in my power to take care and protect them, as they have done for me.

"Your fierceness is endearing, but you also need to survive in order to protect them. To stand by them. You nearly died."

But did I succeed in saving them? Of lifting the curse?

His sigh reverberated through my skull before replying.

Yes, you did. But this is just one of many packs that were cursed. What does it mean if you've only helped one pack?

"It means it is a start at the future. It means that I know what I need to do next. It means I am atleast somewhat prepared in how to help the next pack."

Your stubbornness may just be your end.

"My 'stubbornness', as you call it, was bred into my blood. I will not stop until I've fulfilled my purpose on this earth."

Stubbornness can not be bred, it is singular. No one can breed stubborn.

"Well you obviously haven't met my family."

Oh, yes I quite have. Though I wouldn't call them stubborn. I'd call them conniving, rude, extortionists. You, are none of the sort. Now, rest. I haven't exhausted my magic on you just for you to fight against it.

Sleep.

And with that, I was falling back down the rabbit whole that was my subconscious.
