Familiar of the Wolves

Our journey takes us to the year 267 AC in the Eurasian steppes, north of the Black Sea. To equestrian nomadic people, the Scythians. The Scythians were powerful people, but their former greatness was a thing of the past. They were threatened and increasingly cornered by many surrounding peoples. They became nefarious assassins and contract killers to ensure the survival of their own people. Not only that, but they were more hunting machine, more wolf than man. The pack always came first, they had fixed customs and strict rules, but that secured their future.

But one day after a successful hunt, the wolves return to the pack. However, fewer wolves return than have left.

This is basically a fan fiction for a fairly unknown film called "Rise of the Scythian" which is also called "The last Warrior". It is a pretty interesting film and I highly recommend it, but you don't have to watch it in order to understand this story.
