-6 years later-
Crimson is now the age of six. His mother and father didn't have to train today, so they took Crimson to the park. The sun was shining and all the kids in the village were having fun playing around or eating ice cream. Crimson decided to get on the swings by himself due to his shyness. He enjoyed being on the swings because he loved heights. The thought of being closer to the clouds excites him greatly. Yet, looking at the sky causes him to relax and most likely fall asleep.
As he sat down and started swinging slowly he looked at all the other kids in the park. Though his shyness causes him to stay away from other kids he doesn't mind other people. He started swinging faster to get higher and higher from the ground.
He watches the ground come close then far as he swinged. Crimson smiled to himself but soon started swinging slowly. He stopped swinging and looked around.
Getting up he walked over to the lake and watched the swans and ducks swim by. Time went by fast and it soon was dark. "Crimson!" Called his mother. Crimson got up and ran over to his parents and walked with them home. They walked through the trees to get to the house faster. Strangely, they were stopped by a soldier that worked with his parents. "Hey Crimson, go on and play for a bit" the father said giving Crimson a small push like every parent would. Crimson nodded and went off towards a flower with a butterfly on it. "What's wrong?" The mother asked with the soldier's reply of, "There's these... Ink-like creatures attacking the village." He looks at Crimson and whispers, "They're... after your son as well..."
As soon as they heard this the took Crimson to a nearby cave. The mother handed Crimson Maiki, the house pet they had. Maiki is a duowolf that has two tails. Crimson held Maiki confused on what is happening. They told him to stay in the cave until they came back before running out into the village.
Crimson sat in the cave confused and worried. He waited for about an hour before placing Maiki on his head and turning into his wolf form. Running out of the cave, he followed the scent of his parents. He soon stopped. He was terrified of what he saw. His parents were laying on the ground, them too in their fereal forms with blood around them. Just by seeing this Crimson knew they were already gone. He went over to them and layed his head on his mother's side. Crying silently, the ink-like creatures were a few feet behind him.
Crimson already knew they were behind him. This started filling him with anger. A glow of white light appeared above his head. Then suddenly, a dark gray crown with red with black gems, and ink on it appeared from where the light was.
His appearance started to change. Horns grew on his head, but they were so small they were hidden in his hair. His entire tail turned black, his eye color changed from blue to red with silver in them. His ears became rounded, and his legs became scaled and taloned. He got up and turned towards the creatures growling at them. The creatures and Crimson ran at each other. Crimson was filled with so much rage he slashed at them. Hitting every one he came acrossed rarely getting hit.
Soon, he stood there breathing heavily. He somewhat defeated them all. The crown disappeared and he turned back to normal. All he saw was a giant puddle of those creatures. He went and made graves for his parents with a flower on top of them after they were buried.
Walking away, he still was upset of what happened. When he was soon gone a figure of a creature or an animal's paw came into view from on top of a rock seeing the giant puddle.
