00:00On the day I was born, a blood moon hung in the sky and every blade of grass withered, moonlight
00:04hardened into tangible rays and stuck my face, leaving a crescent-shaped birthmark behind.
00:09The old priest of the wolf clan said I carried the once-in-a-thousand-years white wolf bloodline, born
00:13gentle and kind.
00:14But my father, the Alpha, despised me for being weak and indecisive.
00:18He wished he could whip me day and night just to rouse some bloodlust in me.
00:22But no matter what he did, I could never learn cruelty.
00:24I could never learn to love killing.
00:26Lyra, the human girl they adopted, stole everything that should have been mine as Alpha hair with a savage wolf
00:30spirit forged by black magic.
00:32At the annual hunt, father dragged a young deer to me, still wailing and begging for mercy.
00:37He ordered me to skin it alive, to torment it until it died.
00:40But I did not want to torture the fawn.
00:42I only wanted to end it suffering quickly.
00:44Lyra rushed forward without hesitation.
00:46She tore the fawn apart piece by piece, reveling in its screams.
00:49When the Alpha saw that, he ripped the bone pendant that marked me as Alpha heel from my neck and
00:55placed it around Lyra's.
00:56Then he glared at me viciously.
00:58You can't even feel the pleasure of tormenting prey!
01:00Look at Lyra, so violent, so full of blood.
01:02She is the only one who carries the true nature of our wolf clan.
01:06During the clan's death mat trial, I refused to strike my companions down.
01:09I yielded again and again, never daring to aim for a vital point.
01:12Lyra went straight for the kill.
01:14Without the slightest mercy, she snapped another wolf's neck.
01:16My mother, the Luna.
01:17Instead, she gently wiped the blood from Lyra's face and praised her.
01:20That's my good girl.
01:21Only someone this ruthless can lead the wolf clan to glory.
01:24Then she turned and slapped me hard across the face, disgust filling her eyes.
01:28How did I ever give birth to a useless thing like you?
01:31I stood in a dark corner and watched Lyra bask in my parents' love, my heart growing colder and colder.
01:35They did not know Lyra was an infiltrator sent by the Black Witches, the sworn enemies of the wolf clan.
01:40But I never imagined that to force me into becoming a savage wolf,
01:43my parents would accept Lyra's suggestion and throw me into the Blood Moon Arena,
01:47where exiled mad wolves were kept.
01:49If you can't sharpen yourself in there and become as fierce as Lyra,
01:52then die inside.
01:53Don't come back out and disgrace her.
01:55The Alphys voice echoed the ambience, the lock to follow the Iron Gate.
01:58The next instant, a dozen mad wolves in heat slowly closed in,
02:01their crimson eyes fixed on me.
02:03Thick foul saliva dripped from their fangs onto the muddy ground,
02:06but a massive black wolf had already launched.
02:08It pinned me hard against the rough gravel floor.
02:11My thin white dress was brutally shredded by its claws.
02:14My bare, pale skin was exposed to the air,
02:16only to be pinned down by several male wolves in the next instant.
02:19Hot, wet tongues dragged roughly over my trembling neck and clove a bone.
02:23Their heavy, powerful paws crushed my smash-shaking legs apart.
02:25They violated the most vulnerable part of me again and again.
02:29Pain wracked my entire body, humiliating tears smeared across my face.
02:32In despair, I looked through the iron bars and begged my mother,
02:35the luna of the wolf clan, to save me.
02:36But you're being humiliated by a pack of animals and disheased,
02:39and you still don't dare bite their throats out and fight back.
02:42Alara, you are the shame of the wolf clan.
02:44The alpha and luna turned away without looking back,
02:47but they never imagined that turn would be our final farewell.
02:50The mad wolves kept tearing into me.
02:52I screamed until my voice went hoarse,
02:54but the alpha and luna never once turned around.
02:57In the midst of the agony,
02:58the light of the white wolf within me began to break free of its restraints.
03:02I knew my white wolf bloodline was finally awakening.
03:05The ancient books said this holy light was the hope that would restore the wolf clan.
03:11But at that moment,
03:12the silver blade was driven hard toward my chest.
03:14I turned back in pain.
03:16The one holding the knife was Lyra.
03:18Her face twisted in a vicious grin.
03:19Alara, die!
03:21The title of alpha heir is mine now!
03:22I breathed my last.
03:23The next moment,
03:24a translucent version of me peeled off from my bruised corpse
03:27and floated straight into the air.
03:29I looked down at my ruined body lying in a pool of blood,
03:31my eyes dull and gray like stones that had lost their shine.
03:34Only then did I understand.
03:35I was dead.
03:37Just like my wolf life,
03:38starved of love.
03:39But even after I died,
03:40no one cared about me.
03:42Not even the parents who had given me life and raised me.
03:44For three whole days,
03:45my corpse lay there,
03:46ignored.
03:46As I watched it rot,
03:48as even rats came to drink blood from my once smooth skin,
03:51sadness overwhelmed me.
03:52Please bury me!
03:54I don't want to see myself decay!
03:55My body was like my life,
03:57riddled with wounds,
03:58reeking and unbearable to look at.
04:00A guard passed by the iron bars
04:01and glanced at me lying mocheless on the ground.
04:03I let out a long breath of relief.
04:05At last,
04:06someone had found my corpse.
04:07Please,
04:08hurry and take care of it.
04:09But the guard only spit it contemptily.
04:11This lowborn wolf actually stopped begging.
04:13Looks like she grew a little backbone.
04:14Then he strode away.
04:15My soul floated in the air.
04:17My tears fell,
04:18but they could not moisten my dried out corpse.
04:21Everyone wanted me to become a savage wolf in the arena.
04:24They wanted me to learn to fight back.
04:26But I was already dead.
04:28How was I supposed to fight?
04:30On the morning of the seventh day,
04:31the overwhelming stench of death
04:32finally caught the guard's attention.
04:34Hey, stop lying there!
04:35Get up and work!
04:35The guard wrinkled his nose in disgust
04:37and jed my thigh hard with his spear.
04:38The feeling of the spearhead sinking into stiff flesh
04:40made his face change.
04:41He trembled as he reached for my nose.
04:43The next second,
04:43he collapsed to the ground.
04:44Alpha above!
04:45The alpha here!
04:46She's dead!
04:46I floated in the air
04:47and watched his terrified expression.
04:49Instinctively,
04:50I wanted to apologize.
04:51I'm sorry.
04:51Even in death,
04:52I died in such an unsettling way
04:53that I frightened you.
04:54I was always causing trouble for others,
04:56when I was alive
04:57and even after I died.
04:58I even wondered
04:59whether it was because I smelled so bad
05:00that the arena had become so foul.
05:01When news of my death spread,
05:03the black witch rushed over.
05:04The moment she saw
05:05the silver blade in my chest,
05:06her pupils shrank.
05:08Lyra actually killed her?
05:09Panic flashed through her eyes,
05:10but it was quickly replaced by malice.
05:12No.
05:13If the alpha finds out
05:13Lyra killed the alpha here,
05:15both Lyra and I will be punished.
05:16I have it!
05:17As long as she wears this,
05:18she'll become an undead puppet
05:20who obeys absolutely.
05:21However savage the wolf queen
05:23wants his daughter to be,
05:24that's how savage she'll become.
05:25But she's already dead!
05:27How could the alpha's sense of smell
05:29fail to catch the scent of a corpse?
05:31The alpha and Luna
05:32threw their own flesh and blood
05:33into the arena for so long
05:34without even glancing at her.
05:36They're so heartless,
05:37they've probably forgotten
05:37what their own daughter smells like.
05:39My heart went cold
05:40because I knew the black witch was right.
05:42The alpha and Luna
05:42had never cared about me.
05:44They had even thought
05:44my scent was especially unpleasant.
05:46The black witch put the collar on me.
05:48My corpse returned
05:49to its original appearance,
05:51even more vibrant
05:52than it had been when I was alive.
05:53The next moment,
05:54the black witch controlled my corpse
05:56and made it walk
05:57into the forbidden forest.
05:58I watched helplessly
05:59as my own hand
06:00pierced a black bear's throat
06:01like an iron hook.
06:02Blood splashed across my face.
06:04Chunks of flesh
06:05hung between my fingers.
06:07No, don't do this!
06:08I begged weakly in my heart.
06:10I don't want to be controlled.
06:12This is too cruel.
06:13Looking at the filth
06:14and blood covering me,
06:15I felt so dirty,
06:16so disgusting.
06:17I had already been
06:18a despised, lowly wolf.
06:19Now I had become a monster
06:20with blood on my hands.
06:22Someone as filthy as me
06:23would surely be rejected
06:24even by Satan in hell.
06:25I watched my own corpse
06:27carry the black bear's head
06:28back to the royal hull.
06:30The alpha saw my corpse
06:32bring back the bloody head
06:33and he rose to his feet
06:35in disbelief.
06:37Are you Alara?
06:38At the sound of the alpha's voice,
06:40my soul trembled
06:41violently in the air.
06:42Three months.
06:43It had been so long
06:44since I had seen my father.
06:46Without thinking,
06:47I flew towards him
06:48and opened my empty arms,
06:49wanting to embrace
06:50his tall, powerful body.
06:51Dad, it's me!
06:53I'm a lot-
06:54I wanted to tell him
06:55the arena had been
06:56so dark and cold
06:57that the bites
06:58of those mad wolves
06:59had hurt so much.
07:00I wanted to tell him
07:02I had bled so badly
07:03when Lyra stabbed me to death.
07:05But in that moment,
07:07there was no hatred
07:08in my mind.
07:08What I wanted most
07:10was father to hold me
07:11tightly in his arms
07:11the way he held Lyra.
07:13To stroke my head.
07:15Of course.
07:16How could I have forgotten?
07:18I was already dead.
07:19I did not even have
07:21a warm body anymore.
07:22While I was grieving
07:23in silence,
07:24my controlled corpse
07:25spoke in the center
07:26of the hall.
07:27Alpha,
07:28of course I'm Alara.
07:30My corpse threw
07:32the black bear's head
07:33heavily at father's feet.
07:34As the alpha and Luna wished,
07:36the desperation of the arena
07:38finally tore the cowardries
07:40from my bones.
07:41I understand the beauty
07:42of slaughter now.
07:44The alpha's eyes
07:45filled with feverish pride.
07:47Excellent, Alara!
07:48You've finally become
07:49a savage wolf!
07:51The alpha crossed the hall
07:53in a few strides
07:54and came to stand
07:55before my corpse.
07:55For the first time
07:57in my life,
07:57he embraced me affectionately.
07:59Now this is my good daughter.
08:02My soul shrunk back
08:03in the air,
08:04my nose stinging.
08:05Why was it that
08:06I had finally received
08:07the embrace
08:07I had longed for?
08:09And yet my heart
08:10only grew colder.
08:11My corpse sat
08:11in the wolf king's
08:12bone palacase,
08:13my fingers still packed
08:14with scraps of black bear flesh
08:15that would not wash clean.
08:16The collar controlled my body,
08:17keeping me in a tense posture,
08:18as if I were ready
08:19to spring and kill
08:20at any moment.
08:20The alpha patted my shoulder,
08:22and I suddenly realized
08:23something.
08:23It was the first time
08:24he had ever looked at me
08:25with such expectation.
08:26Alara,
08:27this is what the bloodline
08:28of the wolf king
08:28should look like.
08:29That gentle mercy of yours
08:30only brought shame
08:31to the wolf clan.
08:32I should have listened to Lyra
08:33and thrown you
08:34into the arena sooner.
08:35I floated in the air.
08:36My soul curled into a corner,
08:38trembling nonstop.
08:39But my corpse
08:40only gave a hoarse groan.
08:43Kill!
08:43Kill!
08:45Those are the words
08:46a savage wolf should say.
08:49The pelicane stopped
08:50at the entrance
08:50to the royal hall.
08:51The luna was personally
08:52dressing Lyra
08:53in a magnificent velvet gown.
08:54When she saw me get down
08:55covered in blood,
08:57Alara,
08:57she froze.
08:58From now on,
08:58call her savage wolf Alara.
09:00The alpha announced proudly.
09:01A trace of appreciation
09:02appeared in the luna's eyes.
09:03Lyra has just awakened
09:04her noble wolf spirit
09:05and we're about to hold
09:06a banquet.
09:07Your murderous look
09:07suits the occasion.
09:08Don't put on that funeral face
09:09you used to wear
09:10and ruin the dignity
09:10of the wolf clan.
09:11Before the luna finished speaking,
09:13my corpse seized the white goats
09:14pulling the paluit
09:15and brutally pierced
09:16their throats.
09:17It caught their blood
09:18in a goblet
09:19and handed it to the luna.
09:21Blood for Lyra's awakening.
09:23The luna froze for a moment.
09:25She probably had not expected me
09:26to become so bloodthirsty.
09:28Then she smiled,
09:29took the goblet,
09:29and drank it dry.
09:30She said to the alpha,
09:32It seems that place
09:33really can turn a sheep
09:34into a wolf.
09:35Alara's timid,
09:35shrinking manner
09:36used to make me sick.
09:37Like this,
09:37she might at least
09:38become Lyra's second-in-command.
09:39Father lit his pipe
09:40and looked at me,
09:41his gaze deep.
09:42I forgot to tell you,
09:43from now on,
09:44Lyra will be the wolf clan's
09:45first female alpha
09:46and you will be
09:47second-in-command
09:48there to support her.
09:49I saw Lyra,
09:50dressed in her gorgeous gown,
09:51run over with a bright smile
09:52and take my blood-sloped hand.
09:54What's second-in-command?
09:55We're sisters.
09:56It's just that
09:57rough work like killing
09:58isn't something
09:58a delicate younger sister
09:59I can handle.
10:00I'll have to trouble you
10:01with it from now on
10:02because I watched
10:03the flash of venom
10:03in Lyra's smile,
10:04lowered my head
10:05and let my soul
10:06weep silently in the dark.
10:08Dad,
10:08Mom,
10:09have you forgotten?
10:09I am your biological daughter.
10:11I am the heir to the throne.
10:13Dad,
10:13Mom,
10:13do you know?
10:14The Lyra you adore
10:15is the one who killed me
10:16with her own hands.
10:17At the banquet,
10:18Lyra sat at the head
10:19of the long table
10:20like a pure princess.
10:21My sister has returned
10:22from training.
10:23How impressive.
10:23As she spoke,
10:24she speared a piece
10:25of sacred dear heart
10:25with a silver fork.
10:27Come,
10:27let your little sister
10:28reward you properly.
10:29My soul could not
10:30stop trembling
10:31as I looked at the dear heart.
10:32That was the creature
10:33the White Wolf Bloodline
10:34had once sworn
10:34to protect for life.
10:35It was also the food
10:36I had forbidden myself
10:37from touching
10:37when I was alive.
10:38Just smelling sacred dear
10:39made my soul shudder,
10:40let alone swallowing
10:41the flesh and blood
10:42that symbolized the train.
10:43Lyra knew the taboo
10:43of my White Wolf Bloodline,
10:45but she deliberately
10:45tossed the bloody dear heart
10:46onto my face.
10:47You're so fierce now,
10:48big sister.
10:49Surely you won't mind
10:50swallowing this heart,
10:51right?
10:51After all,
10:52you even dared
10:52to eat a black bear's eyes raw.
10:54The Luna looked at Lyra
10:55approvingly.
10:55Lyra is right.
10:57Lyra,
10:57prove to mummy
10:58that you have completely
10:59abandoned that false mercy.
11:00She was full of expectation,
11:01waiting for me
11:02to show my wolf nature,
11:03yet she had forgotten
11:03the kindness
11:04I had shown while alive.
11:05To stop the dear clan
11:06and the wolf clan
11:06from going to war,
11:07I had melted the snow
11:07for three days and three nights,
11:09moving the dear clan
11:09with my sincerity.
11:10In the end,
11:11the two clans gave up the war
11:12and countless lives were saved.
11:13But the Luna thought
11:14my kneeling had humiliated
11:15the wolf clan,
11:16so she hung me from a cliff
11:17for three days and three nights.
11:19I looked at the piece of meat
11:20on the plate,
11:21the symbol of my shattered faith
11:22and my soul wailed in despair.
11:24No,
11:25don't make me eat it.
11:26Please!
11:26But my corpse
11:27did not hesitate.
11:28It grabbed the raw meat,
11:30tore into it,
11:30and swallowed.
11:31Blood dripped from the corner
11:32of my mouth
11:33onto the white tablecloth
11:34shucking against the cloth.
11:35Delicious, delicious.
11:37My corpse answered mechanically.
11:39Lyra's face went pale.
11:40She had known for a long time
11:42that I was dead
11:42and the Black Witch
11:43had warned her
11:43to hide that fact.
11:45But she never expected me
11:46to become this bloodthirsty.
11:47The Alpha was also stunned.
11:50Lyra,
11:50you used to vomit
11:51at the mere smell
11:52of sacred deer,
11:53and now you ate it
11:54without even blinking.
11:55The Alpha leaned
11:56close to my corpse.
11:57Tell me,
11:58are you really a Lyra?
12:00The picture one's tall body
12:01moved closer to my corpse.
12:02His sharp gaze fixed on me.
12:03He slowly reached out
12:04as if trying to sense
12:05the white wolf aura
12:06inside my body.
12:07Floating in the air,
12:08my soul trembled violently.
12:09A faint hope
12:09rode inside me.
12:10Dad, touch me!
12:11Please realize
12:12I'm already dead.
12:12I don't want to be
12:13a monster of slaughter anymore.
12:14I want to rest in the earth.
12:16Just as the Alpha's fingers
12:16were about to brush
12:17my cold, rigid cheek.
12:19Lyra realized
12:20she could not allow him
12:21to discover the truth
12:22of my death.
12:22It hurts!
12:23My stomach hurts!
12:26Sister,
12:26did you poison my food?
12:27Mother Luna's expression
12:28changed instantly.
12:30With a sharp slap,
12:30she struck me hard
12:31across the face.
12:32How dare you poison
12:33the female Alpha?
12:34What punishment
12:35do you deserve?
12:35I froze in the air.
12:37Mom,
12:37do you trust Lyra that much?
12:38My corpse held its head
12:39at the crooked angle
12:40from the slap
12:40and stiffly turned.
12:41Its dead gray eyes
12:42stared coldly
12:42at Lyra on the ground.
12:43Then with a metallic ring,
12:45my corpse yanked
12:45a pure silver dinner knife
12:46from the table,
12:47grabbed Lyra by the hair
12:48and pressed the blade
12:48against her belly.
12:49Lyra,
12:50savage wolves
12:51don't use noise.
12:52If I wanted to kill her,
12:53I would have bitten
12:54her throat out already.
12:55Since she says
12:55there's poison in her stomach,
12:57why don't I cut her open now
12:58and see what's inside?
12:59With that,
13:00the corpse's hand
13:00drove the knife down.
13:01The Luna screamed in terror.
13:03Even the Alpha's eyes
13:04widened in shock.
13:05Lyra was nearly scared
13:06out of her mind.
13:07It doesn't hurt anymore.
13:08It doesn't hurt.
13:10Maybe I just ate something bad.
13:11It has nothing to do
13:11with my sister.
13:12The Luna let out
13:13a frightened breath
13:13and pulled Lyra
13:14behind her protectable.
13:15You child,
13:16you scared mommy to death.
13:17The Alpha hurried over as well.
13:18He snatched the knife
13:19from my corpse's hand.
13:20His eyes complicated
13:21and horrified.
13:22Ellara,
13:22given how aggressive
13:23you are now,
13:23you are forbidden
13:23from touching anything
13:24that belongs to Lyra
13:25from now on.
13:26After that,
13:26they quickly surrounded Lyra,
13:27fussing over her,
13:28their eyes filled
13:28with concern.
13:29No one apologized to me.
13:30Not a single person
13:31said,
13:32Ellara,
13:32we misunderstood you.
13:33I floated in the air
13:34and thought bitterly.
13:35It's alright.
13:36This must be the price
13:37of learning to be fierce.
13:38In any case,
13:39I was already dead.
13:40The dead
13:41did not need to be loved.
13:43Late that night,
13:44candlelight flickered
13:45in the royal hall.
13:45The Luna reined back
13:46in her chair,
13:47exhausted,
13:48rubbing her temples.
13:49How did Ellara
13:49become like this?
13:50When she held that knife
13:51and tried to cut Lyra
13:52open today,
13:52the look in her eyes.
13:53She was like a monster
13:54without any feelings.
13:55She used to be cowardly,
13:57but at least she still
13:57had us in her eyes.
13:58Yes,
13:59I only wanted her
14:00to learn fierceness.
14:01I never meant to force her
14:02into a mad beast
14:03who recognizes no family.
14:04I floated beside them,
14:05my heart aching.
14:06You wanted me to be obedient,
14:07so I gave everything
14:08to my little sister.
14:09You wanted me to be savage,
14:10so I lost my life
14:11and became a savage wolf.
14:12But even after I died,
14:13you still weren't satisfied.
14:14What exactly do I have to do
14:15for you to love me
14:16even a little?
14:17At that moment,
14:18the highly respected
14:19High Prast
14:19entered with his bone staff.
14:21He let out a long sigh.
14:23Alpha,
14:24Luna,
14:25you have been
14:26terribly foolish.
14:27High Priest,
14:28what do you mean?
14:28Ellara carries
14:29the White Wolf bloodline,
14:30something that appears
14:31once in a thousand years.
14:33She possesses divine power
14:34that can purify madness.
14:35That is why
14:36she could never learn cruelty.
14:37But you kept forcing her
14:38to become savage.
14:39You were wearing away
14:40her divine power.
14:43Enough.
14:43In that case,
14:44we won't force her anymore.
14:45Let her become the kind
14:46Ellara she used to be.
14:47At those words,
14:48my soul trembled in the air.
14:50You're finally willing
14:50to accept my kindness.
14:52But I'm sorry.
14:53I'm already dead.
14:54I can never be your daughter again.
14:56Perhaps because guilt
14:57had begun to stir in me,
14:58the Alpha came to my stone hut
14:59after controlling the territory.
15:01He pushed open the door
15:01to see whether I had fallen asleep,
15:03only to find me sitting
15:04at the edge of the cold stone bed
15:05completely motionless.
15:06My back was perfect
15:07resting on my knees,
15:08my eyes staring forward
15:09like a marionette
15:10whose strings had been paused.
15:11Ellara?
15:12He called tentatively,
15:13but my corpse
15:14did not respond at all.
15:15Night.
15:16The Black Witch's collar
15:17entered standby mode.
15:18What kind of posture is this?
15:19Father scrounged and walked,
15:21though,
15:21pushing my shoulder.
15:22With that push,
15:23my body fell straight backward
15:24and slammed onto the stone bed
15:25with a thun.
15:26The Alpha's expression
15:27changed at once.
15:28No!
15:28Why do you smell so foul?
15:30Ellara,
15:31what's wrong with you?
15:32But my corpse gave no response.
15:33Something seemed to occur to him.
15:35His face turned white as paper.
15:37Trembling,
15:38he reached out
15:38and placed his hand
15:39beneath my nose.
15:40The next second,
15:41he sucked in a sharp breath,
15:43his pupils shaking violently.
15:45Ellara,
15:46are you dead?
15:49Dead?
15:50Dead?
15:50The Alpha snatched his hand back,
15:52then began shaking
15:53my rigid shoulders
15:54like a madman
15:54trying to overturn
15:55that horrifying guess.
15:56No!
15:57Impossible, Ellara!
15:57Stop pretending!
15:58You're just in a deep coma,
15:59aren't you?
16:00Wake up!
16:00My corpse was as hard
16:01as a cold stone
16:01shook me.
16:02My lifeless head
16:02tilted grotexically to one side.
16:04By the moonlight,
16:04he finally saw my gray skin clearly.
16:06I floated in the air
16:07and watched the terror
16:08and panic on his face.
16:09Shrinking back,
16:10I hugged my own arms.
16:11I cried as I retreated,
16:12filled with shame and grievance.
16:13Dad, don't touch me anymore.
16:15Sokoloft,
16:15I'm so ugly now.
16:16Please don't look.
16:16I'm afraid that once you see me clearly,
16:18you'll hate me even more.
16:19But I was already dead.
16:20He could not hear
16:20the words of my soul.
16:21Someone,
16:22call the High Priest!
16:23Bring the High Priest to me now!
16:25The Luna and Lyra
16:26rushed over at the sound.
16:27The moment Lyra entered
16:28and saw the Alpha
16:28trying to pull aside
16:29the clothing at the back
16:30of my neck to inspect it,
16:31her face went deathly pale.
16:32The undead collar
16:33hidden at the nape of my neck
16:34was giving off an eerie glow.
16:35Lyra knew very well
16:36that she could not allow
16:36the black magic to be exposed.
16:38Dad!
16:39Lyra rushed over in panic
16:40and clung tightly
16:41to the Alpha's arm,
16:43sobbing.
16:43Maybe my sister
16:44is just exhausted
16:45after awakening
16:45her savage nature.
16:46Don't touch her recklessly!
16:48You'll hurt her!
16:48The Alpha's eyes
16:49were bloodshot.
16:49Impossible!
16:50She doesn't even have body heat!
16:51Just then,
16:52the High Priest hurried in
16:53with his bone staff.
16:53At a glance,
16:54he saw the collar
16:54at the back of my neck
16:55flickering with black energy
16:56and his old eyes flew wide.
16:57He strode forward
16:58and extended one withered finger.
16:59The moment he touched the collar,
17:00sizzle.
17:01His hand smoked
17:01as if it had been burned
17:02by raging fire.
17:03Acrid black poured from it
17:05and the stench of scorched flesh
17:06spread through the room.
17:07The High Priest screamed
17:08and staggered back several steps
17:09clutching his blacked finger.
17:10Alpha,
17:11she is not unconscious.
17:12She has been dead
17:13for months!
17:15What nonsense
17:15are you spouting?
17:17Grabbed the High Priest
17:17by the collar.
17:19This afternoon,
17:20she pinned Lyra down
17:21and even tried to kill her.
17:23How could an Alara
17:24this savage
17:25have been dead for months?
17:26The Luna threw herself
17:27onto the stone bed
17:28like a madwoman
17:29and hugged my stiff body tightly.
17:31Alara,
17:31my good daughter,
17:32you're not dead,
17:33are you?
17:33You're only angry
17:34with mummy,
17:35aren't you?
17:35Trembling,
17:36she pressed her ear
17:37desperately against my chest,
17:38trying with all her strength
17:39to hear even the faintest heartbeat.
17:40But there was only dead silence,
17:42not even the sound
17:43of blood flowing.
17:44I floated in the air
17:46and watched her
17:47hold my corpse close.
17:48My tears falling
17:49like a broken dam.
17:50Mom,
17:51you're finally willing
17:52to hold me.
17:53I reached out
17:53with my transluent arms,
17:54wanting to hug her back.
17:56I waited 18 whole years
17:57for this embrace,
17:58but my heart stopped beating.
17:59Seeing the Alpha
18:00and Luma like this,
18:01hearing no response from me,
18:03the Luna's face
18:03turned paler and paler.
18:05No!
18:05No!
18:06Come back!
18:07Seeing the Alpha
18:07and Luma like this,
18:09Lyra's eyes flashed with panic.
18:10She suddenly clamped
18:11a hand over her nose
18:12and pointed at my corpse,
18:13screaming,
18:14Oh my God!
18:15Mom!
18:16My sister's body
18:17seems to have a
18:17rotten smell!
18:19The moment she said it,
18:20it was as if some
18:21black magic description
18:22had shattered.
18:23The overwhelming stench of death,
18:25which the collar
18:25had forcibly concealed,
18:27instantly filled
18:27every corner,
18:28mixed with the must
18:29of the underground chamber
18:30and the smell
18:31of dried black blood.
18:32It was the most nauseating
18:34reek of flesh
18:34that had been dead
18:35for months.
18:36The Luna froze completely.
18:38Slowly,
18:39she lowered her head
18:40and saw her hands
18:40covered in corpse spots
18:41and black blood
18:42that had seeped
18:43from my body.
18:44The Alpha drove away
18:45the stench of decay
18:46and looked at my corpse
18:48in anguish.
18:49At last,
18:50realization struck him.
18:51The collar,
18:52this evil undead thing
18:53controlled my daughter.
18:55High Priest,
18:56remove it now!
18:57My daughter can still be saved!
18:58Enduring the terrible pain
18:59of his burned finger,
19:00the High Priest raised
19:01his bone staff
19:02and began chanting the spell
19:03to undo the black magic.
19:04But the spell
19:04was only halfway complete.
19:05On the stone bed,
19:06my eyes instantly turned
19:07a dead crimson.
19:08My corpse let out
19:09a hoary, vicious laugh
19:10and sprang up.
19:11Its dried claws
19:11seized the High Priest
19:12by the throat.
19:13Let him go, Ellara!
19:14The Alpha rushed forward
19:15with red eyes.
19:15He pinned down my corpse's limbs,
19:17desperately trying to subdue me.
19:18I floated in the air
19:19and threw myself
19:19at my own corpse in despair.
19:21I tried with all my strength
19:22to pull away those hands
19:23stained with slaughter
19:23to stop myself
19:24from doing evil,
19:25but my soul
19:26passed straight through.
19:27But no one could hear
19:28my pleading.
19:28My soul and that evil
19:30acting body had been
19:31completely severed
19:31from each other.
19:32All I could feel
19:33was the agony
19:34of being powerless.
19:35The Alpha was forced
19:36into a brutal fight
19:36with the dead me.
19:37He refused to hurt me,
19:38but my claws
19:39were open,
19:39staining the stone bed
19:40with blood.
19:40In the violent struggle,
19:41the black magic's disguise
19:42around the collar
19:43fluckered violently.
19:43The clothing over my chest,
19:44which had appeared intact,
19:45was torn open by the Alpha
19:46during the struggle.
19:47The Alpha froze.
19:48He forgot to fight back
19:49and stared fixically
19:49at my heart,
19:50his pupils contracting.
19:51There, exposed to his eyes,
19:52was a huge gaping wound
19:53that pierced clean through me.
19:54The flesh around it
19:55had long since blackened
19:56and rottened.
19:57It was the fatal wound
19:57left by a pure silver blade
19:59after it had cruelly
19:59destroyed my heart.
20:00A pure silver blade?
20:03The mad wolves
20:04in the arena
20:05don't use silver weapons.
20:10Someone murdered my daughter.
20:12In the corner,
20:13Lyra trembled all over.
20:15She hid her hand
20:16deep in her sleeve
20:17and quietly crushed
20:18a black crystal,
20:19sending a message
20:20to the black witch.
20:22Go!
20:22Bring me the arena guard!
20:24While they waited,
20:25the luna knelt beside my corpse
20:26and gently stroked
20:27the corpse spots
20:27on my cold cheek
20:28with trembling fingers.
20:29Her tears fell heavily
20:30onto my typhase,
20:31washing away a little
20:32of the blood.
20:32I crouched before her
20:33and tried to respond
20:34to her touch,
20:34but I could feel
20:35nothing but empty wind.
20:36Mom, I'm sorry.
20:37I started to stink.
20:38I dirtied the hole.
20:39I curled my empty body
20:40up humbly,
20:41crying like a child
20:43who had done
20:43something wrong.
20:44Don't touch me.
20:45I'm too ugly.
20:48Please don't hate me.
20:49Soon,
20:50the arena guard
20:50was dragged into the hall,
20:52tied up tight.
20:52The moment he saw
20:53my corpse on the ground
20:54with the hole
20:55through its chest,
20:56his legs gave out
20:57and he dropped heavily
20:58to his knees.
20:58Spare me, Alpha!
20:59I'll talk!
21:00I'll tell you everything!
21:01The guard opened his mouth,
21:03just about to reveal
21:03the truth of that
21:04blood moon night.
21:05Behind him,
21:06Lyra's eyes turned vicious.
21:08In secret,
21:08she activated
21:09the cruel silencing curse
21:10the Black Witch
21:11had taught her.
21:11Gurgle,
21:12before the guard could speak,
21:13black blood bubbles
21:14suddenly dropped
21:14Macri from his throat.
21:15His eyes bowled,
21:16as if they were about
21:17to burst from their sockets.
21:18He collapsed to the ground,
21:19clawing desperately
21:19at his own neck
21:20until he tore wounds
21:21deep enough to show bone.
21:22He was about to be suffocated
21:23alive by his own poisoned blood.
21:24You want to silence
21:25a witness right under my nose?
21:27The Alpha flew into a rage.
21:28He strode forward
21:29and released the pressure
21:30of the Kinnis.
21:30The pure source energy
21:31of the wolf-born
21:32turned into a gale,
21:33forcibly suppressing
21:34the black magic rampaging
21:35through the guard's body.
21:36The Alpha grabbed the guard
21:36by the collar,
21:37his eyes blood-rid
21:38as he walked.
21:38Talk!
21:39If you dare lie to me,
21:40I'll skin you alive right now!
21:41The guard gasped the breath.
21:42Black blood sprayed
21:43from his heart
21:43as he cried out into fear.
21:44Alpha!
21:45Alana wasn't killed
21:46by the mad wolves at all!
21:47The wolves in the arena
21:47didn't kill her!
21:48Someone walked in
21:49and murdered her
21:49with a pure silver dagger!
21:51I floated in the air
21:52and bitterly closed my eyes.
21:53The truth was,
21:54I had wished this truth
21:55would stay buried forever.
21:57I was afraid they would learn
21:58how shamefully I had died.
22:00Even the truth of my death
22:01had to be forced
22:02out of someone else.
22:02It made me feel
22:03like a pathetic joke.
22:05The Alpha's voice
22:06nearly shattered
22:07the stone pillars
22:08of the royal hall.
22:09The guard raised
22:10a trembling finger
22:11and pointed desperately
22:11toward the crowd.
22:13It was...
22:13It was her!
22:15Following his finger,
22:16every gaze in the hall
22:17fixed instantly
22:18on one person.
22:19Lyra.
22:21Why are you all
22:22looking at me?
22:24I loved my sister
22:25so much!
22:27How could I kill her?
22:29Her tearful disguise
22:30was flawless.
22:32When my sister
22:33was punished
22:33for refusing to kill,
22:34I braved the snow
22:35to secretly bring her food.
22:36When she was sick,
22:37I stayed up all night
22:38by her bedside
22:39to care for her.
22:39I treated her
22:40like my own sister!
22:41How could I possibly hurt her?
22:42As I watched
22:43that grief-stricken face,
22:44my soul tremble
22:45uncontrollably in the air.
22:47Yes.
22:47She had secretly
22:48brought me food,
22:49but she had mixed
22:50black rotgrass
22:50into the meat,
22:51leaving me
22:52in unbearable agony.
22:53She had stayed
22:54by my bedside
22:55all night,
22:55but only to cover
22:56my mouth and noses
22:57with an icy,
22:58soaked hide,
22:58laughing coldly
23:00as she watched me
23:00suffocate and struggle.
23:01In public,
23:02she called me sister
23:03with every breath.
23:04In private,
23:05she had cursed
23:05countless times
23:06asking why a white wolf
23:07like me had not died yet,
23:08but at this moment,
23:09her tearful disguise
23:10was flawless.
23:11That's true.
23:13Lyra and Elra
23:13were so close.
23:14She has no reason
23:15to hurt her.
23:17Lyra revealed
23:18a demonic smile.
23:20Dead.
23:21The guard was dead,
23:22the leads were cut off,
23:23and she thought
23:24the truth that she had
23:25killed me
23:25would never be exposed.
23:26Just then,
23:27the high priest
23:28stepped forward quickly
23:29with a grave expression.
23:30He dipped his staff
23:31into the blood
23:31the guard had spat
23:32on the floor,
23:33and swiftly drew
23:34an ancient array
23:34across the stones
23:35of the royal hall.
23:36Alpha,
23:37do not listen
23:37to only one side.
23:39The high priest's voice
23:40rang through the hall.
23:41With this blood reversal spell,
23:44we can see
23:45with our own eyes
23:47what happened
23:47in the arena.
23:49The high priest's
23:50withered hand
23:50gripped his bone staff
23:51tightly.
23:52Blood raced
23:53across the floor,
23:54sketching out
23:54intricate ruins.
23:56Lyra's face
23:56went deathly pale.
23:58She quietly shifted
23:58her foot,
23:59trying to wipe away
24:00the blood marks
24:00with the heavy hem
24:01of her dress
24:02and destroy the spell.
24:03Clack.
24:03Without lifting his head,
24:04the high priest slammed
24:05his bone staff
24:06down before her toes,
24:07making her stumble.
24:08The next second,
24:09the Arraya erupted
24:10with bloody light.
24:11In midair,
24:11the image of that
24:12blood moon knight
24:12appeared clearly.
24:14In the image,
24:14the weak me was dragged
24:15into the dark arena
24:16by two guards.
24:17The heavy iron gore
24:18slammed shut.
24:19Outside the gate
24:20were the cold backs
24:20of the Alpha and Luna
24:21as I beat on the iron bars
24:23and cried out hesitation.
24:24Dad, Mom,
24:26don't leave me here,
24:27I'm scared!
24:27Watching this scene,
24:28I floated in the hall,
24:29covering my eyes
24:30desperately as I broke
24:31down and sobbed.
24:32Don't watch!
24:33Dad, Mom,
24:33please don't watch!
24:35Leave me the last bit
24:36of dignity!
24:37My greatest fear
24:38was that they would see
24:39how I had been violated
24:40and left to die.
24:41But the image in the Array
24:42continued to turn.
24:43In the dark corner,
24:44more than a dozen
24:44huge mad wolves
24:45with crimson eyes
24:46and Freya from their mouths
24:47cornered the defenseless knee
24:48against the wall.
24:49Stop it!
24:49Stop the Arraya!
24:50The High Alpha
24:51saw that scene
24:51and shook his head
24:52brief,
24:52his voice trembling.
24:53Alpha,
24:54history cannot be stopped.
24:56In the projection,
24:57the tragedy erupted
24:58in an instant.
24:59The largest black wolf
25:01launched and knocked
25:02me into the mud,
25:03its heavy paws
25:04pinning my wrists down.
25:05Rip!
25:06My thin white dress
25:07was brutally torn apart.
25:08The mad wolves
25:09swarmed forward!
25:10Their fangs
25:11pierced my skin
25:12as they mauled
25:13and humiliated me
25:13in the most primitive way!
25:15The me in the image
25:16had no strength
25:16left to struggle.
25:17I could only be trampled
25:18by those beasts
25:19murmuring again.
25:22Heart-rending scream.
25:24Her eyes rolled back
25:25and she fainted
25:26stiffly to the floor.
25:28The Alpha's eyes were red.
25:30He dropped to his knees
25:31with a thut
25:31and desperately reached
25:33for the me in the illusion,
25:34but all he caught
25:35was empty light.
25:36I floated weakly beside him,
25:38sobbing until I could not speak.
25:40The Alpha knelt on the ground
25:42and slammed his head wildly
25:43against the hard stone floor,
25:45smashing it
25:46until blood streamed down.
25:47Just as the me in the image
25:48was barely breathing
25:49and had completely
25:50given up resisting,
25:51the frenzicked wolves
25:52suddenly began to whimmer
25:53and retreat
25:53with their tails tucked.
25:54At the edge of the image,
25:55a mysterious figure
25:56in a black stepped
25:57through the mud
25:57and slowly entered the arena,
25:59holding a pure silver dagger.
26:00The Alpha jerked his head up.
26:03That is the murderer
26:05who hurt Elora!
26:07The mysterious figure's face
26:09was completely hidden
26:10beneath a heavy hood.
26:11Black bags spread
26:12through the hall.
26:12The interference
26:13of black magic
26:14made the image
26:14in the array
26:15twist violently and blur.
26:16The Alpha roared
26:17like a madman.
26:18He drew the short lave
26:19at his waist open him
26:20as the purest Alpha blood
26:21gushed out
26:22and was breaking through
26:22the interference
26:23of the black magic.
26:24I watched the blood
26:25pour from his wrist
26:26and cried in anguish.
26:27Dad, stop bleeding!
26:28I'm not worth wasting
26:29your essence blood!
26:31I reached out desperately
26:32trying to cover
26:32the wound on his wrist,
26:33but my empty fingers
26:34could not stop anything.
26:35They only passed
26:36through his flesh.
26:37I was nothing
26:37but an unwanted burden.
26:38Even dead,
26:39I still made him bleed.
26:40As the essence blood poured in,
26:42the light of the array
26:43surged with a roar.
26:44Tearing through the black fog,
26:45the image finally cleared.
26:46The cloaked figure
26:47raised the pure silver bagger high
26:48and a familiar,
26:49vicious voice
26:50instantly echoed
26:50through the hall.
26:51Allura, die!
26:52The title of Alpha Air
26:53is mine now!
26:54A wet sound that drove
26:55into my heart
26:56and destroyed it.
26:57I know that voice.
27:01Lyra,
27:02is that your voice?
27:06No!
27:06It wasn't me!
27:08It's a frame-up!
27:10The high priest
27:10used magic
27:11to fake my voice!
27:13I never went to the arena!
27:14While she argued frantically,
27:16the luna woke up trembling.
27:17Her eyes were hollow
27:18as she pointed in despair
27:18at the elision in the air.
27:19In the image,
27:20after the mysterious figure
27:21drove the silver blade
27:21into my heart,
27:22the movement was too wide
27:23and the black hood slipped down.
27:24It revealed its pure,
27:25lovely face twisted
27:25by a meticulous joke
27:26in that instant.
27:27The luna looked at that face,
27:28her lips trembling violently
27:29as if her entire world
27:30of faith had collapsed.
27:32Lyra,
27:32why did you kill a Lyra?
27:33I looked at the luna's
27:34paper-white face,
27:35my heart filled with despair.
27:36How I'd all wish
27:36they would forever believe
27:37I had been killed by wolves.
27:39At least then,
27:39they would not have to face
27:40the cruel truth
27:41that family had slaughtered family.
27:42Lyra stared blankly
27:43at her own twisted face
27:44in the image
27:45and knew she could
27:45no longer keep pretending.
27:47Suddenly,
27:47she stopped sobbing.
27:48She slowly raised a hand
27:49and wiped the tears
27:49from her face.
27:52in an instant.
27:53She gave a cold laugh.
27:54So what if I killed her?
27:56You beast!
27:57I'll kill you!
27:59But just as his claws
28:00were about to fall,
28:01boom,
28:01thick black giant hammer
28:02smashed Scratch Dudley up
28:03from beneath the royal hall,
28:05sending him crashing hard
28:06into a stone pillar
28:07dozens of meters away.
28:08The black witch
28:09walked out from the shadows
28:10with a shrill cackle
28:11and stood in front of Lyra.
28:12Lyra lifted her chin arrogantly
28:14and looked down
28:15at the vomiting alpha
28:15with a cold smile.
28:17I'm not a wolf at all.
28:18I'm the black witch's daughter.
28:19The wolf spirit in me
28:20was nothing but an illusion
28:21to fool idiots like you.
28:23She turned to the luna
28:24on the ground,
28:25disgust filling her eyes.
28:26You think I liked
28:27calling you mom?
28:29Every time you hugged me,
28:30that wolf stink on you
28:31made me sick!
28:33Hearing that,
28:33my soul trembled
28:34violently in the air.
28:35When I was alive,
28:37my favorite thing
28:37had been the warm scent
28:38of the pack on mother.
28:40But mother had given
28:41all her love
28:42to this traitor
28:42who despised them.
28:44The black witch
28:44mocked them with contempt.
28:45You personally sent
28:46the white wolf
28:47who could purify
28:47black magic to her death.
28:49The wolf clan
28:49is vanished today.
28:50Lyra turned her head
28:51coldly and pointed
28:52directly at my stiff,
28:53rotting corpse.
28:53She chanted
28:54in a black magic spell.
28:55The next second,
28:56my corpse
28:56had visually crimson
28:57and it splashed
28:57black claws.
28:58It charged straight
28:59at the alpha
29:00and looted.
29:00No!
29:01Don't hurt my dad!
29:02Seeing my corpse
29:02lunge madly at the alpha,
29:04my soul let out
29:04a shrill scream.
29:05Without hesitation,
29:06I spread my arms
29:07and stood firmly
29:07in front of the alpha,
29:08trying to block
29:08those black claws
29:09with my empty body.
29:10But it was useless.
29:11The corpse claws
29:11passed straight through my soul
29:12and drove blood out
29:13a bloodthirsty sneer
29:14and hurled the alphas away.
29:15Dad!
29:16I broke down,
29:16sobbing.
29:17I watched myself
29:18become the one
29:18who tried to kill my father.
29:20The agony of my soul
29:21and body being torn apart
29:22almost drove me insane.
29:23I tried desperately
29:23to pull at the corpse's arm,
29:25but I grasped empty air
29:25again and again.
29:26After throwing the alpha aside,
29:27the corpse had snapped
29:28its head around.
29:29My corpse roared,
29:29raised at eyes,
29:30claws locked the crimson
29:31and lunged straight
29:31for the luna.
29:32Dodge, mom!
29:33Hurry!
29:33Dodge!
29:34Spare!
29:34But the luna did not move.
29:36She looked at that face
29:37charging towards her,
29:37the face that belonged to me,
29:39now feral and rotting
29:39and tears spilled from her eyes.
29:41Not only did she refuse
29:42to step back,
29:42she opened her arms
29:43and welcomed those deadly claws
29:44without any defense.
29:45Alara, come!
29:46The luna cried
29:47as if her heart had been torn out.
29:48Mom deserves to be killed by you!
29:49Mom failed you!
29:50I watched claws descend
29:51about to pierce the luna's throat
29:52without mercy.
29:53Let her go!
29:54At the critical moment,
29:55the alpha let out a wolf howl.
29:56Ignoring the blood pouring
29:57from his chest,
29:58he threw himself forward
29:58and wrapped his arms
29:59around my corpse's violent struggle.
30:01His hands clike iron
30:02around the undead collar
30:03at the back of my corpse's neck,
30:04the one exuding
30:05poisonous black energy.
30:06The poison of the black magic
30:07instantly corroded
30:08the alpha's hands,
30:09flesh burned rapidly
30:10in the black smoke,
30:11exposing bone.
30:12My soul begged beside him
30:13like a mad thing.
30:14My tears almost cried dry.
30:16Dad, let go!
30:17I died long ago!
30:19I'm not worth saving!
30:20But the alpha clenched his teeth,
30:21his eyes red enough to bleed.
30:23No matter how mangled
30:24his hands became,
30:24he refused to loosen his grip
30:26even half an inch.
30:26Give me back!
30:27The alpha let out a shrink roar.
30:29He poured all his life essence
30:30to his hands,
30:31focusing the full power
30:31of a top alpha
30:32into his burning palms.
30:33Crack!
30:34With a clear sharp sound,
30:35countless shacks appeared
30:35in the indestructible unwed collar.
30:37Bang!
30:37The collar shattered completely.
30:39The black magic binding me
30:40vanished in an instant,
30:42and the terrifying crimson
30:43finally faded
30:44from my corpse's eyes.
30:45Without the black magic
30:46forcibly sustaining it,
30:47the natural law of a body
30:48that had been dead for months
30:48descended a thousandfold
30:49in an instant.
30:50My body collapsed
30:51like a heap of mud
30:52and wracking and rotting.
30:53No, Ellara!
30:54The luna threw herself forward
30:55like a madwoman.
30:56The rotting flesh on my body
30:57began to peel away
30:58piece by piece,
30:59turning to ash.
31:00With trembling hands,
31:01the luna destrictly tried
31:01to catch those fallen pieces
31:02of flesh and pressed them
31:03back onto my skeleton.
31:05Even when black blood
31:05and foul rotten slugs
31:07smeared across her face,
31:08she did not care.
31:08Ignoring the bone-deep burns
31:10on his hands,
31:11the alpha held my broken skeleton
31:12tightly in his arms
31:13and cried like a helpless child.
31:15Mom, stop picking it up!
31:17Stop!
31:17I looked at the foul pile
31:18of rotten flesh in their arms
31:19and sobbed until I could not breathe.
31:21Stop holding me!
31:23I stink!
31:23I don't want you to remember me
31:25looking this disgusting!
31:26In their unbearable grief,
31:28my body finally weathered
31:29completely in their arms,
31:31turning into a handful
31:32of cold ashes.
31:33The hall fell into death.
31:35Silence.
31:35At that moment,
31:36a holy white light
31:37slowly lit up in the air.
31:38My soul,
31:38which had been hiding
31:39in the darkness
31:40and crying all this time,
31:41gradually appeared
31:41within the faint light
31:42as a transduent figure.
31:43The alpha and luna
31:44lifted their heads blankly.
31:45My soul had taken form.
31:46They could actually see me.
31:48The luna knelt amid the wreckage,
31:49trembling all over
31:50as she crawled towards me.
31:51Alara,
31:53I'm sorry.
31:54Mommy was wrong.
31:54Mommy truly knows
31:55she was wrong.
31:56Stay, please.
31:57Mommy will give you everything.
31:58I'll make you the most beloved
31:59princess of the wolf clan.
32:01Forgive Mommy, please.
32:03I looked at her desperate plea,
32:04humbled into the dust,
32:05and large tears fell from my eyes,
32:07dissolving into faint light
32:08in the air.
32:09Mom, do you know?
32:10I dreamed that one day
32:12you would finally be willing
32:13to hold me once.
32:14I lowered my head
32:15and looked at my empty hands.
32:17But I don't even have a body anymore.
32:19I can't feel your embrace.
32:20All attempts to make amends
32:21had already lost the body
32:22they were meant to reach.
32:23Because I had let go
32:24of my final obsession,
32:25my soul began to grow faint
32:27before their eyes.
32:28Dad, Mom, don't cry.
32:29I forgive you.
32:30I really do.
32:32I looked at them
32:32and gave the most relieved
32:34and most ardent
32:35would smile at my life.
32:36I don't blame you.
32:38I only hope
32:39in the next life
32:41you can love me just a little.
32:45No, don't go, Alara!
32:47The alpha leaped upward
32:48with no regard for anything,
32:49spreading his blooded, ruined arms
32:51to embrace my glowing figure.
32:52But just like countless times before,
32:53his arms still passed
32:54straight through my illusion.
32:55He fell heavily onto the cold floor,
32:57wretched and broken,
32:58able only to lift his head
32:59in despair.
32:59When I saw him fall,
33:00I instinctively wanted to help him.
33:02But there was nothing I could do.
33:04Filled with all the grief
33:05and reluctance
33:05I had never spoken,
33:06I let out one last ethereal whipper.
33:08Dad, goodbye.
33:09The starlight vanished completely.
33:11My soul turned from solid
33:13back into an illusion.
33:14But in their eyes,
33:15I disappeared forever.
33:16The royal hall was silent as death.
33:18The alpha's kneeling body
33:19suddenly stopped trembling.
33:20Slowly, he raised his head.
33:22At that moment,
33:22every trace of grief
33:23in his eyes burned away.
33:25In its place was fury.
33:26The alpha slowly stood
33:27and stared picnically
33:28at Lyra and the Black Witch,
33:29who were trying to escape
33:30in the chaos.
33:31His gaze was so cold,
33:32it was like he was looking
33:33at two corpses.
33:34Give me back my daughter's life!
33:36My soul floated in the air.
33:38I watched that delayed,
33:39frenzied revenge
33:40unfold with my own eyes.
33:41A roar that seemed
33:42to tear heaven and earth apart
33:44erupted from the alpha's throat.
33:45His bones twisted violently
33:47and swole.
33:47In the blink of an eye,
33:48he transformed into
33:49an ancient giant wolf,
33:50huge as a small mountain.
33:52His violent killing intake
33:53made the temperature in the royal hall
33:54drop to freezing.
33:55The Black Witch's face
33:55changed dramatically.
33:56She hurried to her strongest
33:57forbidden magic shield,
33:58trying to teleport away
33:59with Lyra.
33:59But the ancient giant wolf
34:00ignored the black magic
34:01it struck his body
34:01and lapped bloody holes into it.
34:03The giant wolf leapt
34:04and bit through that
34:04supposedly indestructible
34:05magic barrier.
34:06It tore half like a storm
34:07across the stone pillars
34:08of the royal hall.
34:09Lyra screamed until her voice
34:10broke, scrambling
34:10toward the hall door.
34:11Just as she was about to escape,
34:12a figure pounced on her
34:13like a madwoman
34:13and pinned her hard way.
34:14It was the Luna.
34:15By now she had completely
34:16lost the reason.
34:17Like a beast protecting her cub,
34:18she bit vicious land
34:19on Lyra's shoulder
34:19and tore off a large chunk
34:20of flesh.
34:21Get off me, you crazy woman!
34:22Lyra rolled wildly
34:23on the ground in pain.
34:24Covered in blood,
34:24she lifted her head
34:25and saw the crimson-eyed
34:26ancient giant wolf
34:27approaching step by step.
34:29Panic finally overtook her.
34:30Dad!
34:31Mom!
34:31Don't kill me!
34:32I'm your daughter, Lyra!
34:34You really did love me,
34:35didn't you?
34:49You don't deserve
34:50to speak of love.
34:51You aren't worthy
34:52of being compared
34:53to a single tear of Alara's.
34:54The love we gave you
34:55was the biggest joke
34:56in the world.
34:57No!
34:57Please!
34:58Please!
34:59I beg your mercy!
35:00Didn't you love
35:01watching prey
35:01get torn apart alive?
35:03Didn't you despise
35:04the mercy of the white wolf?
35:05I'll satisfy you right now.
35:07The alpha reached out
35:08with hands burned
35:09by black magic
35:09until white bones showed
35:10and seized Lyra
35:11by the hair.
35:12Like dragging a dead dog,
35:13he strode out
35:13of the royal hall.
35:14He dragged the screaming Lyra
35:15all the way toward
35:16the blood moon arena
35:17in the distance,
35:17the place reeking of blood.
35:18A long, horrifying trail
35:20of blood
35:20was left on the cold stone path.
35:22That was Lyra's road
35:23to repayment.
35:24But even if every drop
35:25of her blood were drained,
35:27my life would never return.
35:28Before the heavy iron gate
35:29of the blood moon arena,
35:30the stench of rot and blood
35:31that had lingered
35:32for years filled the air.
35:33Lyra broke down completely.
35:34She erupted
35:35with desperate strength,
35:36clinging to the cold iron bars
35:37of the of lead.
35:37She refused to let go.
35:38She knew better than anyone
35:39how terrifying
35:40the mad wolves
35:41and heat inside were.
35:42The alpha's eyes
35:42were like stagnant water.
35:43Without hesitation,
35:44he raised his foot
35:45and stomped heavily
35:45on Lyra's wrist.
35:46Crack!
35:47The bones in Lyra's hands
35:48snapped at the root
35:48and she screamed
35:49as she let go.
35:50The alpha kicked her
35:50into the dark arena
35:51as if tossing in a piece
35:52of bloody raw meat.
35:53Clang!
35:53The heavy iron gate
35:53was locked shut,
35:54cutting off her last chance
35:55of survival.
35:56Inside, the mad wolves,
35:57catching the scent
35:58of fresh blood,
35:58let out chilling low growls.
36:00Thick saliva dripping
36:00from their mouths,
36:01they slowly approached
36:02from the dark corners.
36:03Dad, save me!
36:04Mom, save me!
36:05Heart-renting screams
36:06erupted from inside the arena.
36:08The alpha and the blood-covered Luna
36:09stood stiffly outside
36:10the iron gate,
36:11staring hollowly
36:11at the tragedy within.
36:13Their great revenge
36:14had been fulfilled,
36:14but there was not
36:15the slightest trace
36:16of pleasure on their faces,
36:17only the deepest emptiness
36:19and a dead silence
36:20that could never be filled.
36:21The Luna lowered her head.
36:23Her dull gaze
36:24fell on the muddy ground.
36:25The pure silver dagger
36:26that had once pierced my heart
36:28still stained with my black blood
36:29lay quietly there,
36:30flashing with bone-chilling
36:31cold light.
36:32The Luna slowly knelt
36:33and reached out
36:33with trembling hands
36:34to pick up the pure silver dagger.
36:35She carefully wiped
36:36the mud from it
36:36with her sleeve,
36:37but no matter how hard she tried,
36:38she could not wipe away
36:39the dried black blood
36:39that belonged to me.
36:40For the Luna,
36:40every second alive
36:41was a hell of 10,000 arrows
36:42through the heart.
36:43She hugged the dagger
36:43tightly to her chest
36:44as if she were holding a bay baby,
36:45and a dazed smile
36:46came to her lips.
36:47Lara is all alone underground.
36:49It's so dark there.
36:51She's been afraid of the cold
36:52since she was little.
36:53Mommy is coming to hold her now.
36:55Mommy will keep her company.
36:55Without the slightest hesitation,
36:57the Luna reversed the dagger,
36:58aimed it at her own chest,
36:59and drove it into her heart.
37:00Blood indiently gushed out,
37:01staining her clothes red.
37:02She collapsed weakly
37:03into the pool of blood.
37:04The light finally faded
37:04from her eyes,
37:05but her face carried
37:06a faint smile of relief.
37:07The Alpha stood to the side
37:07and watched his wife fall.
37:08He did not reach out
37:09to stop her.
37:10He did not even shed a tear.
37:11His heart had died long ago.
37:35Alara.
37:37Dad is taking you home.
37:56My soul drifted down
37:57to the base of the cliff
37:58and gently brushed over
37:59the bodies of the Alpha and Luna.
38:01Along with the mourning howls
38:02of the Wolf Clan,
38:03a fierce wind swept through.
38:05No one would ever again hear
38:06the White Wolf abandoned
38:07by her own family,
38:08once weeping humbly in the storm.
