CHAPTER 5: THE NEW WORLD

The events of the forest had devastated the hole forest leaving only 2 survivors, Flare and Blanc, the gate to the forest was still open, but the place was nothing more than a wasteland, covered in ice, and the only thing present was the roaring wind, which carried cold memories along with it. Ten year has past and the humans had an astonishing development due to reducing number of monsters in the various gates that led to different worlds. In the great city of New York City, the greatest guild which turned the world into a safer place was led by the great hunter of the late white wolf clan, Flare, the white wolf guild, she was not alone, accompanied by Blanc, they were able to reduce the numbers of numerous monsters and beasts from other worlds with ease, but there was something Flare couldn't get off her mind, a memory that created a wound she couldn't close no matter what she did, a cut so deep it interfered with her mental state and her aura altogether. The incident in the forest, she dispatched members daily to look for any signs of life in the fore, but the results were always the same, until the day Blanc came to her. "You still can't let go of the past can you?" he stood in the shadow of a curtain as he talked to her, "What do you want Blanc?", "I see it's all because of him is it, not the clan or the alpha just Axel.", she sighed and walked to the window opposite to the position of Blanc, "Hm well if you are gonna look for him l don't care , but care more about these.", he throws five pictures on the desk, Flare comes to pick them from the desk, she sees the dragon that attacked them in the forest with a diamond shaped hole in its head and other beasts with the same shape in their heads in the other 3 pictures, but the last one had the head of a gorgon with a red gem in its head. "Looks familiar?", "What are these?", she asked "Whatever they are, they are related to the dragon, so call your men off", "Sorry Blanc I just can't do that", "He is dead can't you except that", she remained silent and Blanc left.

After Blanc left Flare has call from a man one she has never seen his face before, "Hi", "Is this Flare of the white wolf guild", "Is this Mr Longclaw of the Long claw weapons company?" he chucked as he spoke to her," What is funny?" Flare asked, "You", he said, she chuckled, "Well I called to tell you that there is small gathering tonight at my mansion, from the looks of it you are not the type to like parties, so it will be hard to get you to come by sending you an invitation card like the rest, so I decided to invite you personally.", Flare walked to a couch at the other end of the office and fell right into it like ab overjoyed child, "And what's in it for me if I come to this party?", "Good question, but I don't have a convincing answer for it.", "I wanna hear it.", her voice soften as she spoke those words, as of trying her best to charm him with her words, "Ok, you will get a breathing space, time to relax and leave work behind.", "When you put it like that it makes perfect sense, ok I'll be there", "Great the party starts at 8, try not to be late.", he hangs up.

For Flare Mr Longclaw was not only a charmer but also an interesting person who she wanted not only to see but to know. Another reason she said yes was also because she wanted to see why her aura raised as soon as she hears his voice, a mystery she couldn't solve. At exactly 8 she was escorted to a mission in a remote side of the city, she was amazed to see it. As she got out of the car she came with the driver accompanied her inside. As she entered her aura filled the room causing everyone who was present shifted their attention to her. She wore a long black dress which was a fit to her body, her long hair was tied into a long ponytail. Her mesmerizing beauty caught the attention of many men , but all were afraid of approaching her. Suddenly she felt a perfectly countering aura which also caught her attention, she turned and saw a tall man wearing a black suit with perfectly matching black trousers and shoes, he wore a mask which only exposed his eyes, nose and lower face. "Hi Flare.". Flare was confused for she didn't know this man but something about him was attracting her to him. She then realized that was the great Mr Longclaw, she was speechless, seeing a man of such aura and smell. Her heart told her that she has finally found the right person to be with but in her mind she still thought about Axel. Many envy eyes gazed upon them as the men present were all wanting to dance with Flare as the woman Longclaw, the atmosphere grew tense for Flare and asked if they could go outside alone, the party continued as the two left the room to the balcony.

"Are you alright Ms Flare?", Longclaw asked gently, "No a bit nervous, never been to one of these before.", she answered honestly, "Don't be worried by the people, it's their way of showing...." he is interrupted by the sight of a white wolf tail willing. "Is that the tail of your beast form?", she didn't even realize that her tail has been shown due to her loss of focus, "My, that's a really astonishing feature you have there.", "Oh sorry I didn't mean to show it out.", she said nervously, "Oh no worries, I like it.", his eyes glowed red and her aura spiked as if she was in danger, a warm feeling snaked down her body as she started to blush. Just at that moment a sweet, smooth song started to play, he asked if he could dance with her but as he offered his hand, Flare took his hand and they started to slowly rise to the sky, she put her right hand on his shoulder as his left hand creeped to her waist and their other hands griped to each other with extreme force. They danced under the light of the shining moon, and as it progressed she spun landing her backside into his body as another feeling run through her. Their bodies compressed each other as the heat produced from Flare's body was soothed with the lightest touch of Longclaw's body she turned her neck to the side as if asking for kisses on the neck but with some inner instinct she turned and looked at him as their gaze pierced, she leaned for a kiss and was giving what she wanted, a deep passionate kiss with killed all her worries, all her greef, all her pain was gone. As she let go her heart sped with joy and guilt for she had fallen for someone she had just met she left as Longclaw just watched her go.
