“I’m not sure what you mean, honey, but we can do that, I guess.” She’s still looking at me funny.
With that I nodded and began to undress, trying to keep my back to them as much as possible, but I won’t have much control when my wolf starts to take over to shift.
My shift was quick, but I didn’t miss the intake of breath before it was complete. I know they saw my back and the ugly scars I get to carry around. I just hope they don’t ask about them later or mention them to anyone. The last thing I need is for them to start asking questions.
“You are beautiful!” The shorter warrior exclaims. “I don’t thinkl have ever seen a pure black wolf before.
It’s so rare to not have any other markings.”
I told you we are special. My wolf gloats to me.
Whatever, let’s go before they send a search party in here for us.
We trot out and take the position given to us by the warriors who are helping with the trials. We square up to a beautiful brown wolf with red tinting the
ends of the fur. As soon as the whistle is blown we are in full focus. Because the fighting was so fierce, the warriors had to jump into the fray to get
our attention and then direct us to another opponent.
Sparring in wolf form was exhilarating. I have never had this much fun or felt this powerful in my life. I lost track of how many opponents they put me
against. They never let anyone get to the point of being pinned. I’m not sure if that was because all of the fighters were just that good and we were all
having trouble submitting eachother or if they wanted to preserve energy to see us against a bunch of different opponents.
After the individual rounds we were told to simply ™
get past the line of warriors.” I wasn’t sure what kind of task that was until I saw all of the Elite Warriors saunter out in their wolf forms looking
intimidating and ready for battle. They took up a defensive stance in a semicircle around the obstacle course. Similar to yesterday, there were barrier:
and other things added to give us cover, but I had a feeling we were all royally screwed.
Delta Kyle blew a whistle and we all ran toward the hostile wolves, ready to prove we were not worthy to join their ranks. I focused on the line. They
all seemed to be hyper aware of their surroundings, all taking on more than one wolf at a time and at lightning speed. I had to remind myself I was a
part of this whole show and I couldn’t sit here and watch in awe at the graceful and deadly movements of these highly trained machines. I couldn’t
ignore it either. It was almost magical.
Some wolves just ran forward head on into the line, tyring the most obvious way to get your ass beat.
Others tried to dart between the things piled up, but not really looking at their surroundings for the best ways to move and getting caught up by an
Elite warrior before getting too far. I belly crawled from one hiding spot to another, keeping myself as small as possible. There are benefits to being
my size. I made it to a low woodpile about 20 feet from the ropes course side of the obstacle.
The Elite warriors were pinning wolves left and right like it didn’t cost them any energy or effort at all. My plan was to find a gap when two were
focused elsewhere, but they never strayed from their general positions. If one wolf moved, the whole unit shifted. I have no idea how long I stood
there and just observed their movements, it was like a dance, so mesmerizing.
Aloud snarl broke me from my trance and I sawa huge gray wolf with black markings barreling towards me. My wolf scrambled back and tried to get
around the other side of the woodpile only to be met with three other wolves, I had been corralled.
How did that happen? They were all just engaged with other people not a minute ago. Damn they work fast. Now the question is, do I fight and try to
keep going or surrender? Before I can answer my own question with some form of action, a whistle is blown.
“You all did a great job today. The warriors have a lot to discuss. Please go and change and meet at the pack house to celebrate a successful trial
session. You all deserve it.”
