Wolves and realms (book 1)

From beyond the forest

The next day, goldmoon was woken up by the usual sound of electronic machinery. When he got out of the treehouse, he joined shardlight and a wolf with wings who was named Aries, who were watching platinumcoat re-assembling a small machine. The same machine he had been working for 4 months. The same one found on the ship of the presumably dead villain, Gamma. 

"Hi gold" spoke the rather impressed griffin wolf, Aries, as she saw gold by shardlight's side.

"How many more attempts do you need!?! That thing will not work! We need a ship if it does anyway!" Complained shardlight

"It just needs calibrating" replied platinumcoat, clearly bothered by the remark

"Every morning" muttered gold.

And then at the same time, "sorry gold"

About an hour later, everyone (or at least Goldmoon, Platinumcoat, Shardlight, Aries, Rosewolf and an adolescent wolf named angelica) went for a calm stroll around the forest of curiosities (because going in was proven to be a bad idea yesterday). At 9:05 AM, 20 minutes after they started, they decided they were bored and they took on what was dangerous. They would look for the great flaretail.

The great flaretail was (and still is) a 15 foot, three-headed mechwing (snake like creatures with keratin for wings) that's hostile to anything that isn't a mechwing (or certain species of dragon, wyvern, drake or dragonet).

To sum it up, this thing was one of two greatest sightings in the forest of curiosities. The other being another 15 foot mechwing but entirely made of metal. Oh, and they were both seen in the same place. This made the small clearing they were found in be known as the 'keep-at-least-a-mile-away zone'.

The wolves traversed into the forest thicket and exited at the opening, at least a mile away from where they had the idea. The creature was collecting small fruits for nearby Mechwings.

"I was expecting a more hostile scene" whispered shardlight.

"So was I" replied Aries.

A smaller great flaretail emerged from a nearby cave. The larger one turned its attention to it. The small one stood looking at the larger counterpart. The large one dropped a large fruit in front of the smaller one. 

"Aw, maybe it's not hostile" exclaimed Angelica.

The small one was joined by other small great flaretails. The nearby threehead Mechwings suddenly began to screech.

"They've seen us!" Yelled platinumcoat.

The large great flaretail let out a bloodcurdling shriek before raising off of the ground and flying towards the 6 wolves. The smaller ones headed into the cave, guarded by the other threehead mechwings.

"Run!"

The large mechwings wings could be heard flapping as the aggressive creatures hatred was let out with another shriek. As it neared, its jaws opened. The central head aimed at the two nearest wolves while the two side heads kept watch on the others. They were running out of breath whilst the flaretail seemed it could go on forever (and it probably could). 

The creature however, did not attack when the wolves fell of exhaustion. The mechwing picked them up gently and returned them to its cave. The young were extremely kind and nudged their snouts against them and the older one (most likely the mother) was wary of the new guests. The wolves awoke and soon realised where they were. Terrified, they rose. The mother got prepared to attack. The young remained peaceful, clearly interested in the wolves. "I was beginning to wonder when you would return"
