It was a dark quiet night, only filled by the howling of wolves and the chirps of crickets it was peaceful until the knights vehicles sped by into the empty village, the vehicles came to an abrupt stop with a slight churning of the gears and then a click.

"Alright!" Said the leader of the knights "we need to find out what's going on with all the townsfolk around here...." he continued, he took off his helmet to reveal snowy pale face, a pair of night blue eyes and spiked fawn brown hair "alright mr. borington why are we even here?!" The shiny white knight said, annoyed that they had to go into an abandoned village in the middle of the night.

"Because lance we have to make sure that the people of howling are safe!" Clay stated "anyway... we'll split up into groups... Aaron... you'll be with lance and Macy will be with Axl... I'll go it alone" clay ordered, Macy cleared her throat "clay are you sure you want to go by yourself??" She asked, her voice filled with worry "I'll be fine, Macy" clay said and started heading into the woods closer to the mountain to see if any townsfolk happened to be there Macy and axl started knocking on doors and if no response came they would enter just to be sure no one was home lance and Aaron checked out around a separate woods.

"Alright, if I lived in howling.... where would I hide...." clay asked himself, then as he was trying to find someone, he saw a shadow move and heard a low growl, he pulled it his sword ready to fight as a fairly large wolf came out of the bushes, ready to strike.

Clay narrowed his eyes and suddenly before clay could even react, something struck him hard from the side and a sharp pain went into his arm "DAMN IT!!!! WHY DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING!?" Clay thought to himself and he screamed out in pain... he looked at the wound, a bite mark was pierced through his armor and blood started to seep out, lucky for him the wolf must have hurt it's fangs because it was gone

After a few minutes, his team ran into the woods to see clay leaning against a tree weakly, Macy was the first to react and ran to help support clay, who looked extremely tired and just as he was about to black out they managed to get him to a vehicle and they drove back to the fortrex.

Of course they also had no idea that the people of howling

We're also the wolves around the village
