The chronicles of Mittland Part 03 Time of the wolves

[Tiermann]

Getting very suspenseful now. Will they manage to break through and disrupt things enough or are they all DOOOMED?

Chapter XIV.

Deman YA led them to the planned location of fracture. There they were expected by some dwarves and wolves. Again the highest pit master changed incomprehensible words for ARN and LILIAN with the dwarves and also with the wolves. He spoke quite a long time and urgently. After he had ended, dwarves and wolves nodded mutely. 

[Vauban]

„Because your armies are in unattainable distance, we have to dare alone the attack on ARTRAC. In order to increase our chances, the councillors and three wolves are ready to sacrifice themselves. They will swear three powerful warriors. May I ask you for your medallion, wolf man?“ ARN nodded irritated. He solved however the medallion and handed it to Deman YA. ARN carried already so many years this medallion in form of a wolf head that he had not considered it any longer. The wolf fur, which the medallion held at ARN's shoulders together, fell to the soil. 

[Vauban]

Deman YA received the medallion carefully and murmured a few words. Then he pressed on the medallion, and three blood-red crystals fell from the left eye into his hand. When the crystals affected Deman YA's hand, they began to shine. Ever a crystal he handed carefully to the councillors, while he returned the medallion to its carrier. Now a wolf stepped to the side of everyone of the three councillors. 

[Vauban]

The dwarves with the wolves set together to a swearing. Ever louder the words of the dwarves rang out in the lug, and howling of the wolves became deafening. The bodies of the wolves began to radiate from the inside out. Then dwarves and wolves grew silent and fell liveless to soil.

[Vauban]

ARN wanted to help to the fallen ones, but Deman YA held him back. The wolves rose now again. Their eyes were opened, but their view was empty. Then they rose on their hind legs. The member masses of the wolves stretched themselves, which yielded fur back, and which shrank buschige tail of the animals. The wolves transformed into humans.

[Vauban]

After the transformation was final, three high-grown men rose, stretched arms and legs and looked to ARN and its companions. „The charm worked, we attained human shape“, the first of them spoke with a deep voice. The second one looked to the dwarves whom were lying on the soil. „Are they fine?“, he wanted to know. The third one kneed to them down and shaked regretting the head, „they are dead. The load was too large for them, but they knew the risk. “
