Next Morning...

Minecraftia 06/14/1275...

3rd Person POV:

Seventeen thousand wolves show up for their training. Shasta, Dave, and Nixon gave all the wolves wooden swords and simple shields, training one thousand of them at a time. "Okay everyone, we're going to start training with wooden swords. The better you are with your training, you'll have the ability to use iron swords." Shasta explained, holding his iron shortsword, "Your sword is an extension of your body. I need you all to spread out and have three blocks in between each other.", Dave ordered.

"Mimic our moves!" Shasta ordered.

"Side thrust!" Nixon shouted, performing the move. The recruits performed the move, out of sync. "Straight thrust!" Nixon shouted. Recruits perform the move two seconds after, performing a better sync. "Upward thrust!" Shasta and Nixon shouted in sync. "You're performing very well. Again!" Shasta ordered. 

The recruits continue to perform their stances, slowly showing improvement as weeks go by. Within a couple of months. Seventeen thousand wolves performed so well in sync with their training. 

Minecraftia 08/27/1275...

Shasta's POV:

Sadie and I had a lot of time to ourselves, just the two of us. Out bond got stronger. I had a great times talking to Dave and his musical buddies that happen to like pirate-themed music. Ben got into an interest in using both magic and warrior combat, Luke and Steve are like warlocks with a variety of spells they can cast.  

Splie and Diana had a father-daughter type of bond, working together on the merchant's trade. She's become as geeky as Splie is and has the fire for combat. They grew food to keep all of our people fed, sold leather and fabric materials to random towns and cities, I have not visited human civilization in a long time. I need to visit a human town. Possibly reawaken my human life.

"Sadie, I've been thinking... we should visit human civilization again. Want to visit that life with me?" I asked, "Would I? I'd love to do that with you!" Sadie squealed, "It's settled." I acknowledged. "Nixon, Luna. Take over for me, we're heading out with Splie." I informed, "Will do, Alpha." Nixon replied.

Sadie and I went to the dock and boarded the ship. The ship set sail and glided across the smooth, clear, arctic cold water. "Which port are you headed to, merchant Splie?" I asked, jokingly, "A large port town a couple of hours from here. That place has a large market full of all materials you can get all over Minecraftia." Splie answered, looking at his shipping log, "Is there any Muslim activity there?" I questioned. Splie shot me an angry look, "What?" I asked, "If it had any Muslim activity out there, we wouldn't be going over there." Splie replied to my now dumb question, "Oh... right. That was a stupid question. I'm under their wanted list." I pouted.

"What can you tell me about these Muslims you all keep talking about." Sadie requested, "They are a large group of people that believe in a person named Allah, which means God in Arabic. The name of the Religion is Islam, so we call themselves Muslims, including themselves." I explained, in high detail, "I don't recognize that Religion, all of us wolves recognize is the Werewolf Goddess." Sadie conferred.

"It sucks to be a very wanted person in all of Minecraftia. By Aafiq and his forces... Mason Order..." I said, kneeling on the ship's wooden railing. "It's okay, Babe. As a lot of us said months back, we're with you. If we need to fight against the Muslims, we'll do it. You're our leader, like a King." Sadie explained, embracing me in a hug from behind, "That's the thing, I ran away from my home so I don't have to lead. I guess I'm destined to lead, even if I'm against it." I pondered.

"Don't give up on us... Don't give up... on me." Sadie starts crying, "I won't. I promise." I assured her, "Splie, we're here." Ben shouted from the center mast. The ship entered the port and Splie started off his merchant campaign of the day. I gave all the gold I had to Splie and he has Dave to guard him while he's bartering.

Sadie and I covered our ears and tucked in our tails in our clothes. We got off the ship and walked around in the marketplace. "This place is beautiful. Is this a place you were about to rule over?" Sadie asked. I crack a small smile at her, "Yes, but bigger." I answered, "Be careful on what you say around here, we may have some spies out here." I whispered, "Okay, sorry..." Sadie whispered back.

We continue to walk around in the market, looking at jewelry and other fancy items. Sadie lead me to a large port, towards the area ships were being built. "Babe, I have an idea. In the future, you should have a group of these floating objects next to Splie's house." Sadie suggested, pointing at an uncomplete ship, "That's a ship." Shasta laughed, "I love that idea though, Sadie." I added.

We walked around the shipyard, looking at different hull designs. Large ships were really expensive, Small ones were very affordable, and Medium-sized ships were somewhere in the middle. I saw a ship with interesting sails on them and a somewhat slim hull. "Sir, what can you tell me about the Caravel-class ship?" I asked. One of the ship workers turned around to look at me, "Caravels are easy to maneuver with our new lateen sail design. You can carry a lot of cargo on them from fifty to sixty tons, making them very good merchant ships." The worker replied.

"Would you like to purchase one?" the worker asked, "Not right now. I may buy one another time." I answered. Sadie and I walk back to the market to look around some more, we stumbled upon a market stall that's selling rare and beautiful jewels. "Shasta, look at this!" Sadie nudged me, looking at a rare Stray's necklace! "Hello, lovebirds. What can I get you today?" A woman asked with a smile, "How much is for this necklace?" Sadie asked, pointing at the Stray necklace in the display case, "Twenty-Five silver coins." The Jeweler replied.

Luckily, I carry a good amount of silver on me. Silver's not the greatest currency as gold, but it's worth something. "Can we look at it?" I asked, "Sure." the woman replies, handing me the necklace. I inspected it and carefully removed the gem out of it. I placed the gem in my mouth and slowly bite down on it. "Shasta, don't eat it." Sadie gasped. The jeweler laughed, "He's not eating it, your boyfriend is making sure the gem is real." Luke replied from behind us.

I jump a little bit as a response. "Luke, don't sneak up on us like that." I sneered, "Sorry." Luke apologized, "Here, Babe. Here are the silver coins." I said, handing her a silver coin purse. Sadie took the purse and opened it. Sadie looked back at me and Luke, confused, "Go on, give them to the jeweler." I said. Sadie nervously gave the silver to the jeweler and took the necklace. "Shasta, it's time to depart." Luke informed, "Wait a minute... You're Shasta? The Shasta Breyer?!" A man shouted, holding a 'Wanted' poster in his hand.

3rd Person POV:

The man's voice echoed across the market and a group of bounty hunters turn around and spot Shasta. "Sadie, Shasta. Get onto the ship!" Luke ordered, fighting off the bounty hunters. Shasta grabs Sadie's hand and runs towards the ship. Both of their Ears and Tails pop out and everyone gasps. "Werewolves!" A kid shouts, pointing at Shasta and Sadie. Guards start shooting at the two wolves as they get to the ship.

Luke, Sadie, and Shasta got onto the ship and depart with ease. "What happened back there, Shasta?" Splie questioned, "A citizen identified me." Shasta replied, dusting himself off, "That isn't good. I guess you and Sadie will have to stay back at your kingdom for a while. Rumors spread really fast in Minecraftia." Splie informed.

Scene change to Gline...

Zack, Layla, and Aafiq are having a short conversation on expansion and Layla's wishes. "Sir, there's a couple of bounty hunters that would like to see you. Should I let them in?" A Muslim soldier asked, "Bring them in." Aafiq ordered. Two bounty hunters walk in and kneel before the King, "Shasta Breyer was sighted over at a large port town up northeast. Sadly, he got away." One of the bounty hunters reported, "Do you know which way he went?" Zack asked, "Didn't see, an old man in armor fended us off from him." The other bounty hunter answered.

"You were beaten by an old man?" Layla laughed, "Are you really that weak?" She intimidated the bounty hunters, throwing a large spear at one of them. The bounty hunters froze in place from fear, "This information is useless!" Aafiq shouted, "Not for me, it isn't. We can start our search from there. Your forces need a better disguise than plain chainmail, they can easily be identified." Layla explained, "As you wish, take a few of my spies with you." Aafiq ordered, "I guess this will do for now... I know a couple of people that can help me." Layla said, leaving the throne room.

Layla travels to another Kingdom, full of Mief'was. Layla and the Islamic spies enter the city and walk through the busy street, heading to the Castle.

Layla's POV:

I managed to get to the Castle without any problems. Royal Mief'was looked at me and act all sassy towards me, saying that a woman shouldn't be warriors and a lot of other things related to it. "Ah, Layla! What brings you here?" Hammy shouted, hugging me, "I need your help on something." I giggled, "You do? What is it?" Hammy squeaks, "I got information on a sighting of a missing Prince, Shasta Breyer.." I informed. Her body tenses up and gives me an 'I don't believe it' stare, "You still have the love for him, don't you?" she questioned me, "Of course I do, he's a powerful guy in Minecraftia. He can help me lead our Kingdoms to victory across the land." I announced.

Some Mief'was cheered with my idea. "Look, I'm happy to hear he's alive and all. There are other Princes out here that are as powerful as he is, you have to move on." Hammy addressed. I let out a sigh of anger disguised as sadness, "You're right, you're right... I was too obsessed with him. I guess I really should move on." I lied, walking off. Hammy declined my offer, I have no choice but to make her help me. I swiftly turn around and charge at her. Hammy's guards attempted to stop me, making me slaughter them. I grabbed Hammy and forced her on the wall. "Nya~! What are you doing?!" Hammy exclaimed, "This is your last chance to help me or I'll make you suffer worse than this..." I smirked.

"I'll never help you, why not just kill me!" Hammy shouted, holding back the pain, "Kill you? No, I'm just going to turn you..." I answered, "Wha-! What do you-" she began. My white wolf ears and fluffy tail fold out, showing these filthy Mief'was who I truly am...

"What are you?" Hammy choked out, "I'm a wolf, werewolf, whatever you want to call me." I replied in a devious tone. I bit down on her neck, making the Meif'wa Queen scream out in pain. Can't believe Meif'was are so pain intolerant. I let her go and she falls on the floor, screaming louder every second that passes. "Layla! What did you do to me? I... I'm very hungry." Hammy shouts as her stomach grumbles, "I've turned you into a wolf, like me. Hammy's hair starts changing from light pink to bright white with a dark purple streak across the bangs. Her ears and tail slowly change to wolf ears, and her eyes change to a dark purple color.

During the whole process, Hammy screams out in excruciating pain. "You're going to help me, whether you like it or not." I demanded, "Okay! Okay! I'll help you!" Hammy shouted, attempting to get up off the floor. Meif'wa maids come out from hiding and were shocked from disbelief. "I don't believe it... You werewolves do exist." A maid said, backing up. "Oh yea we do, We've been in your forests for centuries ever since we were hated upon!" I snapped, kicking an incoming Mief'wa guard in the chest.

"Your cat queen is no longer one of you... I'm going to rule over you until I get what I want." I demanded. The maid hiss at me, "You better submit or I'll turn you too." I sneered. Just like that, the maids went submissively before me. "I'm starving!" Hammy complains. Three of the maids offer fish and the starving wolf chowed it down in seconds. After five minutes of eating the entire stash of meat, Hammy came to a full stomach.

"Are you satisfied?" I asked, "Yes. Now, what's my first task?" Hammy replied. I smirked in a devious way.
