3rd Person POV:

The wolf recruits, now soldiers, picked up the scent of the blade and started tracking the scent in the wilderness. It got dark as the wolves started searching for the Muslim group Captain. Using the cover of night, the Arabic captain had to settle down in a cave as a shelter in the woods. "Aafiq's not going to find me out here. I got to find a way off this ice land." The captain complained, making a small campfire. A ghost-like noise echoed from the deep side of the cave. A stray slowly emerges from the dark, aiming its bow at the warrior.

The Arab knight quickly got up on his feet and tried to retrieve his sword and quickly realizes that he lost his weapon. The stray shot an arrow at the defenseless knight and hits the exposed area in his armor. The Muslim Captain got up and charged at the stray as quick as he could with the slowness in effect. Killing the Stray made a lot of noise, making it over where the wolves were in the forest.

The wolves are closing in towards the Muslim knight's location, sealing his fate. At the cave, the Muslim knight is trying to keep warm and he sees a few pairs of bright amber yellow eyes glowing in the dark. "Your fate ends here..." A wolf growls, emerging from the trees. A small group of wolves surrounds the mouth of the cave. One of the wolves charges in and takes out the Muslim soldier with their fists, beating him to death.

After they killed him, they disposed of the body in a small grave and returned back to their civilizations.

Sadie's POV:

All of our allies returned from their hunt without any casualties. The full moon is out and we all howled to it through most of the night as a practice of our Religion. After I showed my boyfriend/Alpha how to practice the worship of the Werewolf Goddess, this was my chance to ask him what I've been wanting to ask for a long time, "Shasta, I have to ask you this and I need an honest answer." I said, getting serious, "What's the question?" he replied, "Would you have puppies with me?" I asked.

"Have them right now, no. Sometime when we're older, yes I'd love to." Shasta responses. I feel a little down by his answer, "Why can't we have pups now?" I questioned, "There's a war going on that is falling on top of me and-" He began, "So this is all evolved around you?!" I yelled, "What? No! That isn't it!" Shasta calmly answers, "Then what's preventing you from letting us have pups?" I questioned again, "We're too young to think about having Ki- I mean, pups and there's a large conflict going on across Minecraftia that I have to strengthen our defenses to where we can defend ourselves if we happen to be invaded." Shasta explained.

I tear up to hear my boyfriend's answer my questions so calmly when I yelled at him. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry I yelled at you, I should have known that you were trying to take care of us." I repeatedly apologized, hugging him tightly, "Shh... I understand that you feel this way. I'd love to have puppies of my own, with you being the mother." Shasta said, in a soothing tone. We stay embraced in a big hug.

Shasta's POV:

The next day, Sadie felt better after she vented her anger on me. I didn't mind that she did that, it was hurtful, but it didn't hurt for long. She went off with Luna for some girl time to keep her calm. I was checking the gold we have remaining with Dave and Splie in the large basement under the Castle, seeing what we can manage with some additional gold Splie got from selling some of our crops. "I wish I came with you guys last night to fight the Muslim invader you ran into. I really need a challenge." Dave wished, "We all know how much you enjoy combat. You should have a duel with Nixon or fight off some Strays." I suggested, counting the gold.

"That's not bad of an idea." Dave replied, intrigued by the suggestion as he's walking out, "Shasta, I proceeded with the construction on some new ships using the original sunken Caravel design." Splie informed, "That's good to hear, Splie. Do you need any help on making these new ships?" I asked, "No." He replied. Splie thought for a few moments, "Actually... I may need some extra assistance. I'll need a few people to deliver me some timber I can use to build the ships." Splie spoke, "No problem. I can spare some wolves to help you with that." I offered with a friendly smile.

We both parted ways and I sent a few soldiers to help out Splie as he builds his fleet of ships.

Back at the Port Town...

Layla's POV:

Hammy and I arrived in a port town that the love of my life was last sighted. We tuck in our ears and tail under our clothes, hiding our true identity. Not long after we both arrived, Zac and some of Aafiq's forces came into the town. "Layla, it's good to see you again." Zac greeted, "About time you show up." I scoffed, "There's no need to be rude, my friend. Speaking of friends, who's this?" Zac asks, looking at Hammy, "This is my partner that's going to help me find and capture Shasta." I answered, "Hammy, at your service." She hesitantly greeted, "What's your plan to find your... Lover?" Zac asked, imitating a gag reflex, "We occupy the city, isolate this place from other surrounding towns and cities." I ordered, "As you wish, Layla." Zac replies.

We successfully occupied the town with little resistance. Unfortunately, we had to kill or injure the guards that protect the town. Not long after, we start searching the ships' cargo that comes in and out of the town. I found a jeweler that looked like she knows something. "Can I help you?" the Jeweler asked, "Yes, information on a guy named Shasta Breyer." I replied, "I'm sorry, but I can't personal information on customers." the Jeweler answered. I grab her by the throat and lift her off the ground. "I don't care if you can or can't, you will tell me where he went or it'll cost you your life!" I threatened her, dagger to her throat.

"He left on a large ship with three men and one girl." She quickly responded, choking out the words best as she could, "Where were they going?" I yelled, "I-I don't know... They just disappeared..."She choked out again, "Liar!" I shouted, pulling my dagger back. I made a forward thrust with my dagger but was stopped by heavy resistance. "Layla, this is wrong! We won't get anything from her if she's dead." Hammy interferes.

I drop the Jeweler and grab Hammy by the neck and held her up against the wall, "You don't tell me what to do, Hammy. You take orders from me until I get what is truly mine!" I hissed. I drop her and lay down on the ground gasping for air, "I think it's just better to keep her alive until you find him." Hammy suggests, "Fine." I submitted, "Also, put these on, it's better to wear armor instead of that pink dress around." I ordered, giving her unique armor.

Hammy changed from the dress to the armor as I asked. "This armor feels so light and I never was the one that could wear it. Why's that?" Hammy asked, "Your new wolf characteristics gives you strength and grants you better able to wear the armor." I replied.

Meanwhile at the Ice Lands...

Splie's POV:

Shasta's new wolf friends helped me out just as promised with the timber I need to manufacture the Caravel-class vessels. Dave and Nixon come down here every once in a while to do some heavy lifting. It wasn't too hard to place the hull frame together. Eventually, I placed the rest of the wood onto the frame to make a successful, sturdy ship hull within seven days.

Minecraftia 09/12/1275...

I got up around mid-day and headed back over to put the finishing touches on the hull. After I placed the finishing touches completing the first hull prototype, Diana, Dave, and Nixon helped me push the ship in a river that's connected to the ocean.

"Okay, everyone. Push!" I ordered. We pushed the ship into the water and it floats perfectly, rudder and all! We tied the ship down from both sides of the river, keeping it in one place. Nixon and Diana went back home, leaving me and Dave behind to add the masts, sturdy white sails, and two heavy anchors. 

[Disclaimer: I do NOT take any credit for this ship design. All credit belongs to TheBigBaron from PlanetMinecraft.] 

"You built this ship really fast. Did you receive any help during the past few days?" Dave asked, "To my luck, yes. Shasta spared a few of his new allies to help me with it. If I was making all of this, it would have taken me months to set all of this up." I calculated, "Mind if I ask why you wanted to create another ship?" Dave asked, "I needed another ship to carry more food and other supplies into town." I explained whilst sailing the ship along the shore. I made a sudden turn and the ship made a tight turn, still keeping its balance. 

"Splie! This ship performs great with tight turns, much better than the old Carrack." Dave laughed, "It actually does." I agreed, "How about we make a large navy, consisting mostly of Caravel-class ships a ways from Shasta's city." Dave smirked, "That would be an awesome idea, we should get Sadie, Luna, and Nixon to help me keep this idea under wraps." I informed, "Why?" Dave questioned, "I want to use that idea as a birthday gift." I said, "You realize that his birthday is a little over a week away. Right?" Dave informed, "Darn." I mumbled under my breath.

Shasta's POV:

A few wolf knights came up to me and informed that Splie's ship was complete, I went down to see the brand new ship with Sadie and Luna. The new ship is docked next to the small wooden dock. It's a plain design, but it can be changed in the future. I knocked on Splie's door and was greeted by Diana. "Hello, young one. Is Splie here?" I asked, "Yes, Alpha. Do you want to come in?" Diana offered, "Sure." I complied, stepping inside. Splie and Dave are sitting down at one of the kitchen tables, quietly talking to each other about something.

"Shasta, welcome!" Splie greeted, "I see that you saw the brand new ship me and a few of your allies made." he assumed, pulling out some steak from the furnace, "Yep." I plainly replied, "How much cattle did you purchase so far?" Sadie asked, "A lot. What should we do with them? We don't have much room left to store more." Diana asked, "Don't worry, Diana. We'll move them into the new farms closer to town." Splie answered, "Oh, Shasta, what are you going to name your Empi-I mean town." Splie stammered.

I chuckled at the thought of this place becoming an empire. "After doing some research, I learned that our pack name is Frost Fang. How about we call it... FrostFang Summit." I pondered. "FrostFang Summit's an awesome name!" Dave said with a smile, "That's a beautiful name." Sadie chimed in, "Glad to hear that, Sadie." I warmly answered.

Luna's POV:

Shasta left not long after he checked up on Splie's shipments. Splie quietly leads me and Sadie to the upper levels of the house. "Sadie, Luna. Shasta's birthday is going to be here soon and I would like to have you two keep him busy while we prepare something." Splie requested, "What are you preparing?" I asked, "Something big. I'd rather not mention what it is until we finish it. I also will need some of our allies to help us out on it." he added, "How many allies do you need?" Sadie asked, "At least a hundred, or maybe more." Splie replied.

"We'll help you on that, just make sure they return soon. Alpha will notice if any troops are gone for long periods of time." Sadie warned, "Got it." Splie acknowledged. Sadie and I returned to FrostFang Summit and proceed training a fresh batch of rookies. We went through the same training lessons that the first group of wolves went through. 

Minecraftia 09/13/1275...

A day has successfully gone by and Shasta hasn't noticed anything so far. I went off on a Date with Nixon and Sadie continued with both the rookies' training and keeping Shasta distracted.

Sadie's POV:

I started looking around outside discovered territory, trying to find something interesting to distract my boyfriend from Splie's plan that he has in place. I found a lot of open land and a couple of mountains, one of them has a lot of ice spikes sticking out of it. I raced back and found Shasta training himself using an armor stand.

Shasta placed his sword in his sheath and started walking upstairs. To my surprise, he didn't notice that I was behind him. I snuck after him, "Hey, Babe." I said, hugging him from behind, "Whoa, you're really stealthy." Shasta chuckled, "Thanks. You should practice your hearing a bit more." I replied, hugging him tighter. "Can you let me go, please?" Shasta asked. I let him go, he picked up his helmet and placed his helmet on, "I need to check the shoreline to make sure this place is secure." Shasta informed, walking towards the gate.

"Wait." I said, grasping his arm, "I found a lot of flat land and a few mountains on the other side of the spruce forest behind the castle you should take a look at." I informed, "You did? How much land?" Shasta questioned with an intrigued tone, "A lot. It has some ice spikes on one of the mountains." I informed, in deep detail, "I'll be sure to look at it after I patrol the beaches." Shasta said, proceeding to the gate, "Look it's important. Nixon and a group of our knights are already patrolling the beaches." I lied, "He is?" he asked, "Yes." I quickly replied, "I'll talk to him later, let's go see the open land you found." Shasta smiled.

I lead Shasta to some flat and slightly mountainous terrain. What I didn't notice at first was a large mostly frozen river that went through it.

We changed into our wolf forms and traveled for a little bit before we both got to this open land I recently got back from. I was running ahead of Shasta the entire time we traveled. "Here we are." I shouted. Shasta eventually caught up with me and is met with a beautiful view, "Whoa... how did you find this?" Shasta asked, "By looking around, Dummy." I giggled.

Shasta's POV:

"Oh. Right." I chuckled, reverting to my mostly-human form, "I've barely been outside my home most of my life." I said, frowning at the thought. "Never mind all that, I love the empty cold terrain of Magnetic North." I added, "I do too. Luckily, we have very warm blood to keep us warm in these harsh conditions." Sadie said, "What do you think of this land?" Sadie asked, "It's beautiful, but not as much as you though." I replied, grabbing her and lifting her up off the ground.

"Tell me, what's the real reason you took me all the way out here?" I questioned, "I just thought it would be a great place to hang out together, just you and me." Sadie replied, kissing me directly on the lips.

Sadie and I made out for seven minutes. I think we should call it Seven Minutes in Heaven... After a while, we sat down and talked more about ourselves which consists of combat, royal relationships, etc. 

Back at the Port Town...

Hammy's POV:

It's been close to a month since the last sighting of the missing prince Shasta Breyer and Layla turned me into some filthy werewolf figure... Ever since Layla met Shasta, she's been obsessed with him. Layla ordered me to interrogate the jeweler for some answers in a dark dungeon. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I never wanted this." I said, removing a gag from her mouth. "You don't have to do this, just let me go." the Jeweler responds, pulling against the rope bindings.

 "Please.. just, tell us where Shasta went. I promise you, I can convince Layla, Zack, and his forces to leave this town." I assured her, cutting her binds off. "He and a few others fled North. Where they're officially going, I honestly don't know." The Jeweler confessed.

To be continued...
