Months have passed since Ravien's bite incident happened.

News has spread about an elite Vamp group that's been terrorizing and raiding different towns for blood and alliances.

Meanwhile, In Camp Luna, Ravien continued his gunslinging training with his uncle and has gotten incredibly better at it.

During full moon nights, Furray prepares the Anti-Bane for Ravien to drink. At the same time, Fenrir ties him temporarily for the operation. It was no question; the Anti-Bane is as useful as it could be. As more months and years passed by, Ravien's transformation was getting extremely difficult to suppress.

"How's your research going?" Fenrir asked Furray.

"No luck. I've been trying every combination, every herb, and flower, but it only leads me to the same failed result. You need to start training him, Fenrir." Furray replied

"There must be some other way. I can't-" Fenrir replied

Something snapped inside Furray, and she annoyingly replied and with her raised voice, "Fenrir! What do you mean there must be some other way!? What if there isn't?! I'm doing the best that I can, but I have no luck! We have to consider the other option that we have. The last full moon we had, we barely managed to suppress Ravien.

What's worst is that we are already using two bottles of Anti-Bane. And you know the consequence of reaching three bottles, right?! Your nephew might not become a werewolf, but he will die from an overdose."

"I know... I know..." Fenrir worriedly replied

Furray's annoyance was seemingly extinguished when she saw Fenrir's face. Worried, pressured, tired, and fear was spread all over Fenrir.

*sigh* "Alright, I'll continue doing my research but think about training him. It might be the only way. Besides we're all here to support the boy." said Furray calmly, now lowered her voice

"Thanks, Furray. I'll think about it." Fenrir replied

"But for now, you should take a rest first. I don't want an additional patient to heal in my lab. Hehe," Furray trying save and make light of the moment.

"Hehe. Thanks, Furray. Good night" Fenrir replied

---

The next day, a 17-year-old Ravien was summoned to Furray's lab.

"Good morning, Furray! You need me?" Ravien greeted gleefully

"Ah, yes, Ravien! I need you to do some errands today since Bark and Woof are busy doing our tent renovations."

"Sure! What can I do for you, your majesty?" Ravien kiddingly asked

"Stop it! You silly Boy. I need you to harvest some of these Voidous flowers in the *Veggie Gardens. As you can see, we don't have enough flowers to make additional Anti-Bane medicine." Furray replied

"Got it! But, Fenrir, is he okay with me going to the forest?" Ravien curiously asked

"Yes, I've already sought Fenrir's approval. Your uncle is worried, but he knows that you need to go out and do these kinds of stuff, it's also for your growth. He said that he'd allow you to go to the forest as long as you'll be back in the camp before evening. Is that clear?" Furray replied

"I see. So I just need to be back before the evening. Got it!" Ravien excitedly replied

"Ravien, promise me you'll be back before evening no matter what. You know what day it is. Take this map; this is Bark and Woof's. Every shortcut in the Alpo Mountain is listed here. It can get you to each mountain in just two hrs. Lastly, take this remaining Anti-Bane just in case." Furray in a more serious tone while looking straight to Ravien's eye

"I promise," Ravien replied

"Alright! Go on then. It's still 7 in the morning; you have a lot of time. If you can, try to bring some fruits and vegetables on your way back." Furray in a more lightly toned voice

"Okidokes! Thanks, Furray!" Ravien shouted as he ran off to the forest

Fenrir saw Ravien rushing into the forest as it was his turn to go inside Furray's lab.

"Are you sure about your decision?" Furray asked Fenrir

"Yes, I've come to realize that the boy needs to go out beyond the walls of our camp. He needs to grow as a person." Fenrir calmly answered

Based on shadows cast by the sun, it was 4 PM and Ravien was already on his way back home, traversing the forest when he heard a woman screaming. "HELP!"

---

In a not so far distance, he saw a group of people. He slowly crept towards the group, hiding from tree to tree. Now a few meters away from the scene, he saw a family: a father, a mother, and their teenage boy who was, in wild guess, is at least four years young than him. The group of men surrounded them.

The parents were already wounded and kneeling, begging for their lives.

"Please we'll give you our harvest, just let us leave!" said the mother

"Let my family go, just take me!" said the father

"But you are what we want! Haha!" Said one of the men while licking his lips. The rest of the people laughed with him, it seems like he's the one leading the group.

The boy was in a state of shock that he couldn't move.

Ravien, ached to jump into the scene but the Sun has begun setting. He knew he needed to get back to the camp. As he continued to watch the situation, Ravien noticed one of the person's arms surrounding the family. There was a tattoo that quickly triggered a terrible memory: a skull logo with fangs and sharp ears.

The Feeders have ambushed the family!

Ravien knew that this group was not ordinary and the family won't stand a chance. So without further thinking, Ravien rushed into the scene as quickly as he can, but it was already too late as the Feeders have started the killing.

"Feeding time!" screamed one of the Feeders.

The father first fell dead on the ground, and then the mother. Both necks clawed.

"NOOOOO! MOM! DAD!" the boy screamed as he sobs

"You are next, boy!" said the leader

Birds flew out of the forest as screams engulfed a portion of the forest, but no one can hear them.

As the Feeders was about to pounce on the boy, in a glimpse of hope, Ravien arrived just in time to save the remaining family member and taking out one of the Feeders.

They were driven into a corner rock.

"What the?!" Said the Feeder leader

---

"It's alright. We'll avenge them." Ravien reassured the boy while looking at the Feeders

"Bbbbut Mom...Dad..." The boy sobs

It was a mixed sadness and relief for the boy. He was saved from death but is now an orphan to the world.

"Damn it! We almost had the boy. But oh well! More food to eat!" the Feeder leader shouted once more.

As the Feeders resumed their attack, Ravien pulled out the Gemini and started shooting at the enemy.

Gunshots were heard across the place, the Feeders ran, jumped, and pounced repeatedly, but not one of them stood a chance on Ravien's skill and his Gemini.

The last Feeder of the group fell from mid-air with a bullet on his head.

"Whew. They're all gone now. I'm sorry for your loss kid." Ravien sympathizing with the boy

"...T-t-thank you..." the boy replied while still sobbing.

He slowly walked towards his parents to check them and have a final look.

Ravien didn't notice the time, the fight felt like it happened quickly, but it took them several hours. It was already evening, and the full moon has begun to show itself

"ARGH!!" Shouted Ravien as he started to feel intense pain, curling himself.

The boy quickly noticed the shout and looked at Ravien.

"Are you alright, mister?" Asked the boy

"Don't!! Don't come near me! Get away from here, now!" Ravien shouted

Ravien took out the Anti-bane from his pocket and drank it. He turned away from the boy and crawled a few feet away. Struggling with the moon, Ravien tried as much as he can.

Finally, Ravien calmed down, but the boy didn't listen. He slowly walked towards to Ravien.

"I can't leave you here. After all the things that you've done for me. I have nowhere else to go too." said the boy as he walked towards Ravien

From the ground, Ravien slowly got up. Now with full pointy ears with sharp teeth and can't be distinguished as either human or wolf.

It was that unfortunate time that the Anti-Bane has finally lost its effectiveness.

At that night of the full moon, A big howl was heard across the *Lamb forest, and the boy tragically joined his parents.

---

"What's that?!" Fenrir said

"Maybe it's him! The howl seems like it came from the Lamb forest," Furray answered.

The Sacrifars have already been searching for Ravien all over the Alpo Mountains.

Fenrir and Furray were already dreadfully anxious since he didn't come back on their agreed time. The Sacrifars have already been searching for Ravien all over the Alpo Mountains.

It was quite far from their location, a mountain away to be exact, Fenrir quickly commanded *Bark and Woof to come with him and check the area.

From *Beef woods to Lamb forest, the three Sacrifars traversed the mountains as quickly as possible.

Sun was rising when Ravien woke up and saw the horror of what happened last night. It guaranteed that it wasn't a nightmare.

Aches and pains still linger on his body. Ravien's body was full of blood, especially his mouth.

The decaying carcass of the two parents lay flat on the ground, and beside him is a bloody shirt that belonged to a boy.

"No... no... no!! Arghhh!!" Ravien screamed

The realization and guilt were already haunting him. He was scared and shocked. Beating himself up, he started crying. He wanted to die.

Ravien picked up one of the Gemini and pointed it to his head. It was the only way to right his wrongdoing.

But before Ravien could pull the trigger, he was stopped by Bark and Woof in the nick of time.

"Boss! We found him!" Bark shouted. Fenrir quickly heard this and arrived in Bark and Woof's location.

"Oh, no. It has begun. Let's bury the parents, and head back to the camp. Quickly!" Fenrir commanded while the guilt is forming inside him

Bark and Woof saw the bloody mess and imemdiately began cleaning up the scene and burying the bodies.

Helpless, weak, and traumatized, Ravien was carried back by Fenrir to Camp Luna. Bark and Woof soon followed.

*Veggie Gardens - A vast forest garden that contains different fruits, vegetables, and wildflowers. A safe area where everyone is welcome to get all their food and medicinal supplies if and only if they know how to distinguish a safe plant from the poisonous **Mimicrops.

**Mimicrops - an infamous plant that exists across the Alpo Mountains but mostly grows in the Veggie Gardens. They are heavily poisonous plants that copy the plant beside it. A smell of it can leave you nauseous, a bite can leave a person in a coma for several days, and two bites will leave the person dead.

*Lamb Forest - A vast forest located at the 2nd mountain of Alpo Mountains.

*Beef Woods - A long stretch of tree sanctuary and bamboo garden that connects the 3rd and 4th Alpo Mountains.

*Bark and Woof - Brothers born from a small place called Pug Town. They came from a family of geographers and experts in traversing the Alpo Mountains. One night their whole family was ambushed by rogue werewolves in their town, and they were the ones who only survived thanks to the Sacrifars. Unfortunately, they were already bitten, so the Sacrifars took them in, and now they help the faction in land surveying, geography, and even repairs in the village. They wrote down a map of Alpo Mountains with its shortcut that is exclusively for Sacrifar use only. This map can take any Sacrifar to the next mountain in just two hours by walking. But Bark and Woof, they can do it in an hour.
