The Blood Werewolf Curse Pt. 2

After Paul bit me my insides felt like they were on fire. My heart was beating faster, my pulse was racing and my breathing was going faster. I remember seeing Gana. She was...a werewolf. I couldn't believe it. How did she became one? Gana-"Oh no. He's transforming." Cassandra-"Well Paul, seems that you just couldn't help yourself to tasting that dragon's blood, could you? And Gana, what a lovely surprise to see you again." Pyron-(thinks) "Cassandra knows Gana?" Gana-"You witch?! How could you?" Cassandraa-"Well, I can't help it if Paul decides to bite others. He's hard to control when he goes on the chase." Gana-"Grrr!" Cassandra-"Relax Gana, and embrace your werewolf side. Soon Pyron will become a werewolf just like you, and then the both of you can spend the rest of your days as wolves. Buraki won't know you both are alive and won't attack my tower." Gana-"I rather die a dragon than a werewolf."
Pyron-"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Gana-"Pyron!!!" I turned into a werewolf. Paul-"Now he's one of us." Gana-"No...." I got up and was mad." Cassandra-"Hahaha. Now he's mine." Pyron-"Think again witch." Cassandra-"What?!" Pyron-"You think you have control me? Think again. Now Rica!" Rica-"Feather Barage!" She hit the wolves. Cassandra-"What's going on here?!" Heinaus-"Oh, it's quite something I like to say...gotcha." Cassandra-"Heinaus?!" Heinaus-"So Pyron, how soon will you be a dragon again?" Pyron-"I'm starting to feel all better now." All of a sudden I got back my form. Paul-"Gah...he's a dragon again?! How?" Heinaus-"Before we came here I decide to give each of us each a bit of protection. I took a bit of Paul's drool when I was hear last. I had a feeling he and his wolf hoard would try and inflict the Blood Wolf curse on us. With a bit of added silver powder and a magic enchantment, presto. Instant Blood Wolf curse repellent." Cassandra-"Grrr."
Rica landed. Anakin-"Wow. That was close." I approach Gana. She looked at me. It was her. Gana-"Pyron, I...I..." Pyron-"Say no more Gana. I had a feeling you were keeping something for me. No matter what you are, I still love." Gana-"Pyron..." She hugs me. Pyron-"Yor fur tickles. Heinaus, give Gana the antidote." Cassandra-"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Heinaus-"And why is that?" Cassandra-"You overlooked one think Heinaus. Gana had been curse far longer than Pyron, and silver kills werewolves. So if you give Gana your antidote, your only kill her. Not even Pyron's healing ability will save her." Heinaus-"Grr. She does make a point. Oh well, guess Gana's a dead dragon wolf." Pyron-"Don't Heinaus?"
Cassandra-"There is one way. I have the antidote right here. With it, the wolf blood in gana will be vanquish from her bloodstream." Gana-"What's the catch?" Cassandra-"Oh, just one thing...Pyron becomes my new pet dragon." Gana-"What?!" Cassandra-"After all, he has been soaking up the dark energy around the land and hasn't realized it, and he shows promise. After all, his mom is a light dragon and he has some light dragon in him. And since light dragons absorb dark energy rather quickly..." Heinaus-"Makes sense. Just like how dark dragons can absorb light energy." Cassandra-"You see, I studied the dark magic that free Malefor from his prison when he was around and use my magic to locate the land that was rich with dark energy, and make this land my own." Gana-"Grrr...I won't allow you to do this. I won't let you take Pyron." Cassandra-"Either he becomes my protector, or you will remain a werewolf for all eternity." Gana-"Grr..."
Pyron-"It's a deal Cassandra." Gana-"What?!" Pyron-"I'll be...your dragon. Just let Gana be a dragon again." Cassandra-"Mufufufufu." Gana-"Pyron, I can't allow you to become her servant." Pyron-"Long as your safe and out of harm's way it's be okay, and as long as I'm a dragon and not a werewolf, it'll be okay Gana. Gana-"But Pyron..." Pyron-"Okay Cassandra, I'm ready." She gives Heinaus the antidote and injects Gana with it. Suddenly, Gana returned to her dragon state. Gana-"I'm me again." Cassandra-"And now..." She used her dark magic on me. Pyron-"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" I grew large. My red scales became black and my belly became white. My horns and spinal plates became red. I roared. Cassandra-"He's all mine." Gana-"Pyron, noooooooo!" Heinaus-"We got to get out of here!" Heinaus, Rica (with Anakin riding her(, and Gana took off in the air. Cassandra-"Well Pyron, your my new pet. Mufufufufufufu." I roared again. Gana was heartbroken. I felt it, but in order to get the curse out of her, I had to become Cassandra's servant. I hope she, Rica, Anakin, and even Heinaus will be okay. I roared again. Gana-(tears fell from her eyes) "Pyron..."

The Blood Werewolf Curse Pt. 1

It took a couple of days for Heinaus, Rica, and I to reach our destination: Wolf Canyon. Somewhere here we'll find Cassandra and see if we can obtain this Mind Gem Heinaus spoke of. Heinaus-"I hate to say it, but we have to walk through the canyon, not fly. Round this time of year the winds around Wolf Canyon...are pretty unforgiving." So we landed and walked. As we walked I notice the canyon walls. Pyron-"Hmm...it seems that the canyon hasn't been disturbed." Heinaus-"That's because Buraki hasn't attacked this place. He has no reason to. We better keep up a fast pace. The Blood Wolves will be out soon. And trust me, you don't want to be bitten by them." Rica-"Because we'll be turn into wolves like them?" Heinaus-"Less yapping more walking." So we continued.
We made it out of the canyon and saw what looks like a tower. Heinaus-"That's Cassandra's Lair. There we'll get the Mind Gem. With it, you and Rica can return to your bodies." Pyron-"Good. Let's go." We didn't realize it, but we were being watched. Cassandra-"Looks like we have guests. And Heinaus. Mufufufuf. Paul, why don't you and your clan go greet them." Paul-"With pleasure."
We made it to the entrance and busted down the door. Rica-"Hey...I smell...wolves." Heinaus-"Me too." Paul-"Greetings to Cassandra's Tower." We were surrounded by a dozen wolves. Heinaus-"Oh great. It's the Blood Wolves. These mangy mutts are the werewolves I spoke about." Paul-"Well Heinaus, Cassandra is expecting you." Heinaus-"I bet she is." The wolves took us to Cassandra. Cassandra-"Well well well...if it isn't Heinaus. And you brought along a griffin and Pyron. However, Pyron...isn't Pyron. Before you asked, I have been watching you and your friends. You came for my Mind Gem. Here." She showed us a gem. Rica-"What's the catch?" Cassandra-"No catch. I just want Pyron back in his proper body." Rica and I looked at each other, then together we walked over and took the gem. Suddenly it glew and then I blacked out.
Rica's voice-"Pyron, Pyron, wake up." I woke up. Pyron-"That wasn't pleasant. (I put my claw on my head. It was scaly. I looked at my claws, then saw Rica) We're back...in our bodies?" Rica-"Uh huh. And I'm back with my yet to be born baby. Pyron, thank you." I smiled. Pyron-"Well, thank you Cassandra, and we'll be off." Cassandra-"Not so fast. I'm afraid you must stay...and become my servant." Pyron-"What?!" Rica-"You said no catch." Cassandra-"Did I? I meant to say no catch for the griffin. Pyron on the other hand...will make a fine addition to my servants. I lost my last dragon servant a couple years back and you'll make a good replacement. Buraki will understand why I want you more alive than dead." Pyron-"I won't serve you." Cassandra-"Mufufufufu. You will serve me. Even as we speak, your body is slowly absorbing the dark energy my tower is giving off. It's not much, but combine with my magic, you'll be my dark servant." Heinaus-"Cassandra...don't you know we dragons are impervious to magic? That means can't can't harm us." Cassandra-"True. However, dragon magic works pretty well against dragons. I have waited for this moment. Pyron...will be mine." Pyron-"Sorry Ms. Witch, but I'm gone." Using my fire, I blasted the wall and Heinaus, Rica, and I flee. Cassandra-"After them!"
We try to fly high but the unforgiving winds hept us low to the canyon. Suddenly the wolves came for us above. Heinaus and Rica avoided them but I was caught and forced down. I fought them off but suddenly...Paul-"Gotcha." I felt a bite on my leg. Pyron-"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Rica-"No! He's been bitten." Heinaus-"Gah, it's too late for him. I'm outta here." She leaves. Rica-"Heinaus, wait!" I continue to fight, but that same wolf bit my leg again. Pyron-"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Paul-"It's no use for you now Pyron." Rica-"Feather Barrage!" Rica nailed a few wolves and landed beside me. I then collaspe. Something was wrong with me. My heart was beating faster and I was breathing faster. Rica-"Pyron, stay with me. (The wolves approached us) Someone, help!" Werewolf 1-"Now, you trespassers will join us." Gana's voice-"Noooo!" Was my ears deceiving me? Whas that Gana's voice? I open my eyes slightly and saw her and Anakin. She was all furious and then...she turned into a wolf. Anakin-"Gana is...a...werewolf?" Werewolf 2-"Gana?" Werewolf 3-"Guys, its Gana she came back!" Gana-"Grrrrrrrr! NO! I came here to rescue my friends Paul!" Paul-"Look, its too late...I tasted his blood." Gana-"Huh?" I open my eyes slightly and saw Gana. She was a werewolf, but what was more important was that she and Anakin were back in their own bodies. I moaned in pain. Gana-"Oh no...you Griffin! Take Anakin and fly above, stay out of this canyon. You cant be bitten!!" Despite the winds, Rica takes Anakin and flies up. I felt Gana licking my wounds. Suddenly, I felt different. I was turning into a werewolf too. Gana-"Oh no! I'm too late..."

The return of Heinaus

A couple of days passed. Rica and I hid in every cave we came across to avoid being detected by Buraki's mechanised army. Rica and I did took our time to learn to use the others' abilities. That night she was still concern about her baby. Rica-"Pyron...what if we don't get our bodies back? I..I.." Pyron-"Don't worry Rica. If Buraki used magic to swap our minds, then there's no doubt we need to use magic to swap ourselves back. I hope we can do the same for Gana and Anakin." Rica-"Gana? Your girlfriend? She was turned into a fox right?" Pyron-"Yeah." Rica-"But...what if Buraki does to them what he did to my boyfriend?" Pyron-"If he does, then I'll hunt him down to the end of the realms." Rica-"I see..."
Suddenly. we hear moaning. Pyron-"What is that?" Rica-"I don't know, but it smells like a dragon. Wow, you dragons have a good sense of smell. Stronger than us griffins." We spot a dragon appearing from the shadows of the cave. Pyron-"What?! No way?!" It was Heinaus. She collapses. Rica-"Wow. She's in awful shape. Did Buraki's machines do this to her?" Pyron-"No...someone else did this to her."
Heinaus-"Gaaaaah...." Rica-"Hold on. These herbs will heal your wounds. Your lucky your not a dead dragon." Heinaus-"Gaaaah...save it. I don't need your pity Pyron. (She looks at Rica) Wait, your not Pyron. (She looks at me) But...your Pyron." Pyron-"Huh? How did-" Heinaus-"So, Buraki used an old trick of mine I once did to Jewel. Hahaha...ow." Rica-"Relax. Your badly wounded." Pyron-"You should listen to Rica. She seems to know about medicine." Heinaus-"Why would you help me, knowing I serve Buraki?" Rica-"Your hurt, and you need medical attention." Heinaus-"Gaaaaah...pointless..." Pyron-"A thank you would be nice." Rica continue to put the herb medicine on Heinaus's wounds.
2 hours pass. Rica-"Well, she's asleep now. I did all I can. How did she get hurt that badly?" Pyron-"My friends and I were in Hulcana Village heading for Diamond Port. Gana and I finally had some...well, alone time to ourselves. (Rica giggles a bit) We were enjyying the peaceful scenery when we heard a scream. We found Heinaus and Alazar attacking Flame, Jewel, and Kaloth. Alazar killed Jewel and Kaloth, though we were able to restore their spirits into their bodies, but Alazar turned on Heinaus and attacked her. We thought she was dead." Rica-"Well, she's a lot tougher than you think." Pyron-"Hmm..."
The next morning we woke up and saw Heinaus up and about. Pyron-"You seem well." Heinaus-"Humph. Keep your opinions to yourself." Pyron-"Geez, your welcome. Why did you save her again?" Rica-"I...thought it was a good idea." Pyron-"Come on, we got to get to Ember." Heinaus-"Ember huh? Hehehe...hahahaha!" Pyron-"What's so funny?" Heinaus-"Nothing much. If your resorted to locate that fairy tale city-" Pyron-"It's no fairy tale. Ember's for real." Heinaus-"Hmm...I see. Tell me Pyron, you want to get your body back don't you?" Pyron-"Of course." Heinaus-"Then maybe I can help. I know of a magic gem that can swap the minds of those who touch it. The only problem...it's being held by a witch name Cassandra, and she lives in the far reaches of Wolf Canyon." Pyron-"Wolf Canyon?" Heinaus-"Yes. There's a rumor that if your bitten by a wolf there, you'll carry on the Blood Wolf curse and become a Blood Wolf yourself. Basically, it's like becoming a werewolf." Rica-"Should we go Pyron?" Pyron-"Hmm...if it means restoring ourselves, then it's worth the risk. But...I am concern. How do we know this isn't a trap?" Heinaus-"For one thing, I like looking like myself and don't wish to be a flea-bitten mammal, and second, I need allies so I can hunt down Alazar and get my revenge. So...I'm coming too." Pyron-"...Ok, but I'm keeping my eye on you." Rica-"But, can she fly?" Heinaus-"Look, were wasting valuable time. Lets go." She flies, and so do we. I don't know what Heinaus's true motive is in all this or if she does want to slay Alazar. One thing is clear, if what Heinaus says is true, then Rica, Gana, Anakin, and I will get our bodies back. But, is Heinaus helping us, or leading us to a trap?
