Your father grits his teeth and calms his breath. "I don't throw away my wolven pride; I embrace my fatherly honor, something you know nothing about."
You can hear the man's snarl as your father setts you on the ground; a soft, faint whisper fills your ears. "Little wolf, make sure not to watch; instead, run the first chance you get."
"Oh, please, you really think you can take on my pack!" The man let loose a guttural laugh. "No, there's no way out of this. You will die here as I make your disgusting spawn watch on."

[[Go find your father.]]You cover your ears, blocking out the man's voice. The constant voice of your mother ran through your head. "Whenever you're scared, just repeat after me: deep breath in, deep breath out."
You continued to follow her instructions until a thunk hit the floor. You opened your eyes only to see the image of your mother's lifeless eyes staring past your soul. "Mmh, I take pleasure in imagining what your father's face will look like when I show him his precious wife's defiled corpse!"

You feel him swing his right arm, holding you in the other, and then a sickening squelch cascades in the clearing around you. The smell of smoke and iron filled that squelch with a sickness that rotted your nose.
You both run through the night, feeling the air nip at your hair. You run, and run, and run some more; until, finally, you make it to the outskirts of a village. Maybe, you think, maybe life will be different here.

You could hear your mother's gasps get fainter as the group's feet got closer to your mother's. "Boss, after you're done, can you let us have a pass?"
The man snapped at them. "NO! I will not have Martha's body desecrated... only, defiled. There is a difference."
The other man seemed to grunt. "Well, will we get a turn on this "defilement"?"
A smack filled the air. "No. I will not have anyone else gazing upon Martha; she is mine!" His crazed laughter filled the room. "Now, Martha, are you ready to wait for me in the Great Planes? I will be there in what, 500 years?"
He drops your mother to the floor; you watch as her head bounces off the dirt ground of the hut.

I hope to see you soon; after all, I don't want to wait too long to cleave that head off those disgusting shoulders of yours."

He walks out, leaving you standing there, heartbroken. You watch the head as blood drains from its face...

"Then, maybe, that dirty spawn you have hidden under your bed wouldn't be tainted with that vermin's blood. It'd be my child!"
Your mother lets out another gasp when he speaks of you. "N-no, Mavrik! P-please, leave the child..." Her voice seems to fade in and out, and she pauses for what feels like a minute.

"So be it." With a flick of his wrists, your father's head falls from his body.

"I am the alpha of our pack; it is my duty to protect you and everyone else here." His lips brush against your forehead. "That is my promise, little wolf."
A large crash comes as eight men, clad in dark, purple cloaks rushed in. "Oh, look, the vermin has a child: who would've thought an alpha would give up like this."
Your father, still embracing you, took a sorrow-filled sigh. "You do not know what you speak of, Mavrik. I am doing my duty as - not only a man - but a father. Any insult you have towards my pride won't get a rise out of me."

The woman falls back, her eyes wide and confused. No words escape her mouth as you bat her temple with a closed fist, the urge to make them all shut up filling your being; staring into your crazed eyes with her shaken head, she takes a breath, before headbutting your nose.
Your head rockets back as she grabs you by your four-year-old neck, choke slamming you into the ground. "You..." She takes a second while bashing your head on the floor. "Little." You feel your world spin. "Brat!"
She lets off one more, good, slam as the world mingles together; you clench your teeth, watching as a couple of men drag your incapacitated form to the fire. They set you down, and you struggle against their sharp hold, almost like a flopping fish. When they lift your body up, getting ready to fling you into the burning blaze, a welling emotion fills your chest, fear clenches at your heart, and you let out a discombobulated scream.
Right when you reach the peak of the swing, The Guide steps in. "Now, now, we've tormented the..."

<<choice "boop" "Continue">>He smiles a sinister grin that sends your heart fluttering with darkness. "I'm glad you're nothing like your... mother. She was a no-good, troublesome evildoer, what, wither her spreading her lies and all. If you ever have any questions, you can seek me out, my child; I shall look after you from this point on." he turns on his heels. "Magik says you hold a great future under me; don't make me regret my decision."
He walks off, leaving you with that swirling pit you call a stomach. The chanting continues on as your mother continues to burn in front of your eyes. You chuckle, the pressure building within the core of your soul relents to the madness of it all, and you can't help but let out a dark, foreboding laugh that shakes the walls of Magik to its core. With the fire's wisps reflecting their dance in your eyes, the world feels like it's ready to come to a stop; it slows to a point where you begin thinking - thinking that you may just be a bug in this insignificant, cruel world that snarls at the hands that feed it.
Knocking you out of your funk, a woman off to your side gives your shoulder a firm squeeze. "The Guide already said he'd take you in, but if you need anything just call for me. My name is Medea. What is yours, young one?"
[[Say nothing.]]
[[Give your name.]]With eyes filled with a dull disinterest, you stare at her, saying nothing. Setting her jaw, she clicks her tongue. "You act a big game, but you might have just lost the only person actually on your side in this village."
With nothing more to say, she walks away, leaving you to stare at her wavy, brown hair that reaches down to her ankles while the fire's glittering rays illuminate her shapely body. Her hair flutters in the wind as a few sparks from the increasingly hot fire nibble away at her retreating form.

You watch as you gives you a captivating smile, once more, and leaves.
[[go to bed]]Your <<textbox "$eyeColor" "Silver">> eyes watch on in facination as the chanting begins to die down, and your fellow wickens retreat back to thier huts. It's like watching a flock of birds retreating back to their nest - messy, yet orginised.
You peer into the fire until they all leave, watching in fixation as the flames turn to coles and then into echoed fragments of what once was.
[[Head to bed.]]
[[Stay and watch]]tiredness seeps into your being as you turn away from the fire's call. Gently taking a step forward, you ignor the sight of the village you know all too well; that vibrant, green grass contrasting off the off-white huts.
You make your way into your house, blocking yourself from the sweet sent that reminds you of your mother. Pushing into your room, you lock the door behind you. You breifly wonder why you'd do such a thing, however, that means nothing to you at the moment as your eyes fade into darkness.
<<set $stubornBar += -5>>
You flop onto the straw bed and <<choice "prologue(witch)" "Let the primevil forces swirl in your being.">>Lethargy henges its way onto the outskirts of your soul; you can feel your eyes begin to droop. The fire watches you with bright, malice filled eyes - like it's watching its destroyer. Your gaze darkens in quietness; however, the fire refuses to let go of the clutch it has on your body. It scrapes and screams at the center of your being, begging you to get closer - to embrace it.
<<set $stubornBar += 2>>
[[Embrace the fire]]
[[Walk away]]Your foot moves without any imput; as you take a step towards the fire, it calls out your name: "<<textbox "$name" "Rain">>, see me my child. Show me who you are."
You, slowly, creep in front of the brimstone-like being filled with wonder. Reaching a handout, your fingers brush against the flame; it fills you with ecstasy - sends pleasure-filled shivers down your spine. Your muscles relax, and you take another step into the fire. It nipps away your edges, swirling around you, yet you don't move away, no you embrace it. You let it consume your soul.
<<set $attunment += 1>>
<<choice "prologue(witch)" "Be reborn from the ashes">>You turn away. What are you doing? Do you know nothing of the dangers of fire and ancient beings calling you to embrace them?
You turn away and head to bed. The cold, fireless, freeze seeps into your bones. The night feels colder than it ever has, but you push it away, thinking nothing of it. You push open to your home. Ignoring everything, you lay onto your bed and <<choice "prologue(witch)" "embrace the artic chill that freezes your bones.">> <<set $stubornBar += -5>>This is the the end to the prologue for the witch.

[[Spit on his feet]] This is the end of the prologue for the werewolf storyline. I hope you have enjoyed it, and I'll do my best to keep pumping these out. I'll try to get a new chapter out every week, but I have no clue how that'll go. I'm still learning how to code in Twine, so if you see any error, please inform me, so I can fix it.

<<link "New Game" "Startup">> <</link>>As the fire drains on, you find it about time to head to bed; you have quite a lot to do in the morning. The fire flairs on as your feet drag against the ground. You can almost hear the ground try to absorb you into its primal clutches.
The whole village looks to be asleep as you walk back into its borders. The plain white houses stand defiant against the vibrant green grass. You are flooded with a mix of loathing and deep, everlong sorrow; with a sad smile, you come across your home - the home you shared with your loving mother.
[[Let it out]]
[[Stay stoic]]Tears cascade down you cheeks like raging rivers as you finaly let out the sad despondency. Maybe one day you'll find a way to take your mother back to the Eternal Couldren, so her soul can be layed to rest; however that day isn't today.
Your rain still falls as you push open the door to the, now dank, house and head toward your room. As you lay your head on the straw pillow, your waking body imediatly fades into unconciousness.

You open the door with shaking hands and a clenched jaw. The sent of your mother's lavinder perffume lofts throughout the air as you choke on the lump that forms in your throat. Heading to your room, you lay your head on the bed.

She grabs you by the neck. "You dare look me in the eyes with that look?" She throws you to the ground. "Grab the kid, let them join their mother."
You clench your teeth, watching as a couple of men drag your incapacitated form to the fire. They set you down, and you struggle against their sharp hold, almost like a flopping fish. When they lift your body up, getting ready to fling you into the burning blaze, a welling emotion fills your chest, fear clenches at your heart, and you let out a discombobulated scream.

You leat out a groan as she raises her boot once more. Getting ready to push you back, she grinns madly. "I hold all this power over you, yet you've had the gall to try and speak back on multiple accounts?" With a dark laugh, she calls out to some of your village. "Grab the twirp; why don't we show them to their mother?"
You let out a scream as a couple of men grab you by your shirt and prepar to throw you into the fire.
The Guide chuckles. "Now, now, don't go throwing the child into the fire just yet. They have a lot that I must teach them, for they've been missguided by their mother's wicked ways."
