Kyrian would awaken in the same place that he had been placed hours ago. Only this time. The hallway was alot emptier. He knew that because he felt it as he pushed himself off the cold stone floor. He then dared himself to glance around check out the surroundings.

 The torches on each side of the wall seemed to be there. But the flames kindled less brightly. There was also columns surrounding him as a red carpet was laid about in the middle of the hallway, running down each ends  which never seemed to stop going both ways. The hallway seemed wider and bigger than before. As Columns lined up perfected beside one and another on both sides with their given space in between. The stone that made this place was a darkish blue color as Kyrian looked more closely towards them.

 "So how did it feel?"  A myterious voice would echo about. It came with an alluring accent. One that Kyrian couldn't describe as it was also mysterious to him aswell since it was his first time hearing it.

Turning frantically to the source of the voice. He would see nothing but shadows. Which freaked him out. Causing him to push himself up to a stand as he bared his fangs and extended his claws. But what he noticed before was that his claws had seemed strangely longer than how he remembered them to be, as same with his fangs. They seemed sharper and to be enlargened in sized  by only a little. But big enough for him to see the difference. His skin was more toned and his body was a little bit shorter as he started to look at his biceps, forearms and triceps. Later to throw off his shirt to realise that his core was tighter than before and his chest seemed to be enlargened as well.

 "The risk was great. It changed you. Bettering you. . . " The voice would say slyly behind him as he felt a presence behind him.

Kyrian would then turn around swiftly and clawed at where he had last heard the voice. Hoping to strike it. But he ended up just swiping at nothing. Which confused him.

"STOP HIDING!" Kyrian yelled outloud as he twisted and turned in the corridor. Hoping to catch a sight of the person who carried the voice. He would then growl outloud to emphasis his point as his eyes darted around. Hoping to catch a chance to see this mysterious figure.

"Answer me! " he shouted once more. "Stop hiding! Are you scared to show oursel- kak!"

Oof!

Kyrian was strucken suddenly by an unknown force in the gut as he would quickly drop the ground as he spewed out blood. Coughing it out as he bent over in pain. Which eventually led to him falling to his side as he was hit hard. Harder than any of the wounds that he recieved from Mario that is. Or any other hits that he recieved. As he now laid down on his side in a fetal position. He clenched his eyes shut as he recieved the blow to the time of his current state. He would only wait moments longer before he was able to open his eyes as the pain subsided, and what he saw was an image that he would never forget. He looked up as he saw a small figure of a woman dressed in a clean, long flowing, soft silk night gown. She was bare foot but her presence seemed to glow vaguely. Her skin was pale and looked soft at the touch. As she had purse pink lips and eyes that were a elegant gray that glowed in the dark as if they contained moon-light from within. She had long flowing hair as if it were made out of pure snow that ran down to her ankles.

He watched her as she cocked her head to the side and smiled friendly as if everything was okay. It even made the stinging of the bearable pain fade away with just a smile. She would then sit down beside Kyrian on the carpet floor as she sat on her behind and bent her knees and positioned them diagonally. She would then reach out and bring up against her body. Cuddling him and conforting him as if he was some lonely pup. Which caused Kyrian's face to flourish bright red as he never had experianced such a thing before.

She would continue to carassed him, which made Kyrian feel all his worries fade away as he laid there on the mysterious woman. It felt as if he was laying against Asena's fur itself. The great wolf spirit of creation!

Only then would she start to sing him a lullaby. A lullby that was so sweet. That it made him feel dreamy as she sung the first stanza. It made his eyes lower as she continued with the lullaby. Drawing him in closer and closer to sleep.

The song would continue as he edged into a trance that was borderline to sleep. But as he reached that mark, she would bring it to a close.

" Will you do whatever I say?" the sweet angelic voice would say

"Yes. . . " Kyrian would say sleeply

" Will you never question me?

"Yes. . . "

" Good. . . . Now it's time for me to go now. Visit me soon. Until then. Show me promise. . . . . I have a great gift to give to you. . . One that will make us accomplish great feats. . . Just follow me and everything will go smoothly. . . "

"Yes. . . ."

 Remember me. . . . Don't forget my name Kyrian. . .

With that, the mysterious woman would bend over  and place a gental kiss upon Kyrian's forehead before leaning up once more.

Suddenly everything around them would vanquish into darkness. Which would soon start crawling towards them as the woman would start to sing another lullaby. But this time it was a specific one about a beautiful and powerful Ookami who lived many years ago. Continuing it until the darkness would reach them  and grasp at both of their clothing.

" Her name was Kysthana, Your Ancestor" she would sing lowly to a bare whisper as the darkness would begin to devour the two of them in a single swipe.

Taking in a deep breath as Kyrian would awaken. His upper body shooting straight up as his lower body remained laying out on the floor. He placed his hands behind him to keep him up right.

'How did I get her- Ooh. . . right. . .' he thought as he glanced at his surroundings. Soon to get up but wince as he was still in pain from the previvous battle. He would start to head home. But he felt different. He knew that something had changed. But what was it? Maybe it was the fact that he couldn't get a name out of his head.

Kysthana
