The Gothic architecture surrounding Whren was horrifying in the rain. Silhouetted by the lighting behind it, it made the gargoyles adorning the churches and buildings look as if they were moving. Strange mist floated in the cold air making it hard to see anything at least five feet away. the people around the province said that the mist was emanating from the ground coming from nowhere. But they where wrong. The people of greftyle were not superstitious but when it came to this strange mist, rumors started to fly. Alien lights shimmered in the sky, casting creepy shadows of hobos and muggers hiding in the alley way,waiting for a tired person to walk by. a person with money. the same person Whren was waiting for. the man about to jump from at least 20 stories up Most of the lights were out it was 12 o'clock at night but, Whren was nocturnal and escaping town and waiting for a man named Brasst Gould. Whren was only ten years old and was waiting for Gould because he knew that Gould was the most dangerous man in Greftyle and because somebody might be looking for him now that the four men he had just murdered had been found by non other then Captain Faust Xavier, the most celebrated man in the history of Greftyle and the chief of police. although Whren had good reason to kill them, he didn't think that it would change Xaviers mind . The men Whren had murdered had killed his family two years ago.

Prime Minister Saul Tyson was studying in his study. Reading the papers in front of him. Saul did not want to read the papers in front of him because he had had enough bad news for decades and did not need anymore. But, he read the papers anyway. The aforementioned papers stated many different paragraphs,words,and letters that can be summed up in 5 facts:
- Tessol was overrun with werewolves.
- every human being has been wiped out
- werewolves have the brain of a 5 year old child with an affinity for human flesh.
- Greftyle was going downhill and if Tessol is not cleansed, Greftyle will be overrun with even more werewolves in 1 year.
- Watch out.
Tyson did not understand the last part until he noticed that it was written by someone else,most likely the man sitting on the window sill behind him. "Boo" the man said making Tyson nearly jump out of his skin. "GOULD!" yelped Tyson "WHY ARE YOU HERE!?". Tyson had enlisted Gould A few times before to do his dirty work for him (I.E. kill offenders). "Why?, because Wraith wants you dead and, I don't want me dead" Gould said calmly and grinned after the last word. "Wraith? said Tyson backing up "why would he want me dead? Doesn't he have better things to do then ask you to kill me?". "Like I'd tell you" Muttered Gould as he pulled a long serrated sword out of A sheath.
"D-don't Do anything stupid Gould!" Tyson Yelped and jumped backward in to his desk. "Stupid? Gould said slowly and smiled. "I Won't do anything stupid" Tyson turned and ran to the door , but Gould wasn't fat or ugly. Gould cleaned his sword silently and jumped out the window, landing on his feet 20 stories below.

Whren grinned and started walking toward the man who just jumped from the 3rd story of the prime ministers study. Gould glanced at whren without thinking twice and pulled him into an empty alleyway. "What do you want boy?" growled Gould "Why do you want to me?".
"because I need a teacher!"said whren happily"and you're the best,or so I'm told"
who told him that? thought Gould. probably frost, he has children."your mind wanders doesn't it?"the last thing Whren remembered was Gould grabbing his neck and slamming him to the ground. Hard.

Whren woke up in a large cavern. Lantern hung from the ceiling along with a few skeletons.
A large table sat in the middle of the room. It was covered in half empty mugs. A single plate sat on the side of the table that faced him. Whren got up and walked over to the table. A huge book sat there open to a page that read:
WENDIGO
Wedigous spectrarumus
SIZE:5-6 feet tall
WEIGHT:150-200 lbs
SPECIES:Spectral
STATUS:Endangered
The rest Whren could not read (he had never been good with words). He closed the book to read the cover. It Read:
A MODERN BEASTERY
A GUIDE TO THE WILDLIFE OF TRELLARYA
By Aduem Sulfurr
" 'Ello! ".Whren Jump and whipped around to see a small furry man standing on a ledge in the wall "What?" Whren stuttered. "I said 'ello." The small man said talking with a strange with a accent. "Who are you?" asked Whren. "I'm Phrout." "Phr-what?" Whren said once again. "You asked my name and I told you-It's Phrout."said the little man "Oh, I see." replied whren "where am I?". "I'm not s'posed to tell you." Phrout said. Whren sighed and turned around. He glanced back down at the book. "so you're awake!" said a voice from behind whren. He turned and saw Phrout running out the door between the legs of Gould. "sorry about the slamming. what other way would you prefer me to render you unconscious?" asked Gould smiling. " where am I?" repeated whren. "The caves. outside of deju." said Gould. "why?" asked Whren. "you have alot of questions young sir." said Gould "I have asked the men if they think we should take you in. And there's only about twenty or so of us left. The king has either killed or captured us. So we have agreed." "why has the King been killing you?" asked whren. " take a wild guess." Gould said sarcastically "we're assassins. We kill people for a living." "Oh" said whren quietly. "You have alot to learn." said Gould.
