Chapter 11

Paris blinked, then fell she was laughing so hard. " dad, this is a mountain " she said, pointing at the mountain her father was gesturing to. He looked at Paris with a confused look. Then a thought came to Helen. Walking over to a small tower of stones, she opened her hand. A small red light appeared on her index finger and she touched the tower. Where she traced on the rocks, a red line followed it. Before long, glowing red symbols were hovering in front of small rock tower. 開いた. " Aita, Japanese for open " said Helen before the red light disappeared from her finger and taking a step back. Paris rolled her eyes before gasping. The ground seemed to lift a veil, revealing a hidden city. " I didn't want to believe it was real " said Paris in awe. She examined the city in great detail. The city seemed to be reflecting light like a prism. Buildings seemed to change color. A gray blob was sitting in the gate. Paris's father stepped forward with no concern. The gray blob moved, revealing a huge wolf, about two times the size of a regular wolf. It's crystal blue eyes starred right at the three warriors. The wolf bared it's fangs at Paris's father. It's fur was pitch black with blue swirl designs. Its tail as long as a meter stick, it's fangs sharp as a tungsten needle. " Fenrir, I'm simply passing through " said her father. Fenrir bared it's fangs at him again before stepping aside, allowing the three travelers to enter. Her father and Helen entered, but not before it stepped in front of Paris, blocking her path. " wait " it growled. Paris was in shock beyond compare. " Dad, why is Fenrir wolf here " she asked, considering the fact that she has always loved wolves, but this one was scaring her. " He guards the temple, but it seems he has chosen a different path " he said, his eyes still on Fenrir. The wolf turned tail tail and walked about ten feet from Paris. " This ones mine " growled the wolf. " Paris, don't move " whispered Helen. Fenrir took off like a bullet. As he ran, he seemed to glow blue and black before ramming into Paris, disappearing in a light. Her father leaped forward, trying to intervene, but it was too late. Paris fell on her knees and blacked out.

When Paris woke, her head was pounding and she seemed to be floating in a clear turquoise liquid. She looked around, trying to determine her location. She saw four people, each wearing a different color robe and all wearing a white dove mask that covered their eyes. They seemed to be chanting, but Paris couldn't tell. Her attention changed when she heard a set of large doors being pushed open. She looked in the direction of the opening. Her father strode in, Helen at his heels. A older man was also at his heels. He was African american, his black buzz cut hair, his skin the color of dark chocolate, his green eyes watching Paris's every move. He was at least 16, same age as her. He wore a green sleeve less cloth gi and a set of black sweat pants. He had a tattoo on his arm that paris couldn't make out. He seemed to trying to get her father's attention. " Marcus, you don't seem to understand the fact that Fenrir has bonded to her " growled the man. " Lucas, the fact that he chose her over him means a disaster for the council, that I now have to settle " he growled back. He signaled to the four people to stop. They lowered Paris to the ground. She safely landed on her feet. She threw her arms around her dad's neck. " Dad, what happened " she asked, taking a step back from him. Marcus looked at Lucas. Lucas waved his hand, dismissing the four people that were standing by. "Dad, who were they? "she asked. "Healers "he said, dismissing the idea. "Dad, whats going on? " asked paris. Marcus nodded his head. Lucas acknowledged it and stood in the middle of the room. There were pillars off to the left, letting light in, allowing paris to see the city. Marcus looked at Helen. She walked over to the opening in the pillars. She then pointed her palms at the light. A black outline of a circle appeared around her feet. A symbol of a shadow appeared underneath her feet. "Shadow Style, Wall of darkness "she said. Paris watched as black gas started floating from Helen, covering the room in pitch blackness. Marcus put his hand on paris and guided her to a circle in the middle of the room. Paris stood there and crossed her arms. Marcus looked at Lucas. Lucas laced his fingers together before shoving his hand against the ground. "Aura Style, Beast Vision " he said. Paris looked at the ground. She noticed that there were symbols etched into the ground. The symbols started glowing light blue. A light had came down on paris like a spotlight. She looked up to see a giant wolf pixelated like a hologram. " Yup, bonded alright " said Helen, watching the wolf run like it was hunting prey. "  It's Fenrir " Paris, taking note of the black fur and crystal blue eyes. Marcus signaled to Helen to drop the wall and Lucas to stop. Before long, the room was back to normal. Lucas stood in front of Paris, Helen behind her. They both moved  their hands in a oval shape. A large mirror made of water appeared in front of Paris and behind her. Paris looked at the mirror Lucas had made. She gasped when she saw a small circle with a wolf head on her right shoulder blade, a circle with a bear and  a circle with a dragon head at the base of her neck.  "What does this mean? " she asked in awe. "It means that your in a lot of danger " said Lucas with a sad tone.
