do you say? Do you

in?

- Of course not immediately Ankris said, horrified.

Despite his words, Novan back to town at the request of the elf,

to try to get her things. When he returned, bringing no news

were exactly encouraging.

- The sage tried to stop, 'he explained, but ignored him: have

burned all your belongings in a bonfire in the square, as if

were apestadas.

- Oh Ankris said only, while a dreadful feeling

gloom fell on him.

- Rejoice, the Hunter is still there, in a rage because he knows

where to look.

- Have you seen him? Have you not known?

- A magician has its own methods to pass unnoticed, young

elf.

- Good Ankris replied, moody.

- I can lock you up-he proposed the magician suddenly. In jail

magic, I mean. That will become harmless night of the full moon.

- Would you?

- Oh, yes, but I think it's a good idea. You're going to lose all the

fun.

- Better than being a monster.

- Boy, you are already a monster, like it or not. Not worth it

fight it.

- That's not true.

- Let's try then. Contrary try the method.

I know a spell that can wake: conservarías your conscience

rational even after transformation, and both minds, the elf

and the beast, dominate your body while wolf. If such interest

you have to defeat the wolf, dare to face him. In equal

conditions, who do you think would win?

Ankris not answer.

The first full moon happened at the cabin Novan chose the

solution magical prison. The sorcerer drew on the ground signals

around him and performed other transactions Ankris was not able to

identify, but when the circle is closed, the elf was completely

unable to leave it. It was as if an invisible barrier will close the passage.

- Shalt thou set up a fuss when you try to transform and

escape from there, 'he warned the wizard. Luckily, we are far removed from

any inhabited place. Even so, I think this is a good

solution. The Hunter still looking for you, and if by chance approaches

around here, you're at their mercy. Because ... can we forget to mention,

but, though you can not leave the circle ..., anyone could enter. And no

I'll be here to protect you, it is a night too pretty

to stay home.

Laughing softly, Novan morphed into a wolf and, before leaving

through the door, told Ankris:

- Until tomorrow, puppy. See you at dawn.

The elf tried to say something, but then the beast began to

awakening inside and had to concentrate to overcome the

dolor.Por Fortunately, all went well, and the next day woke locked

still in the magical prison. Novan also slept on the cot,

but woke up when she heard that Ankris moved.

- Good hunting, eh? Yawned, stretching. Oh, sorry,

forgot that you stayed at home last night.

- Get me out of here Ankris growled.

The following days he remained silent and thoughtful. Inside

throbbing feelings. For one, hated and feared all that

Novan was and represented, on the other, the magician had saved his life and,

also was the first person who had accepted as it was.

Because even her parents and the sorcerer were horrified to that part of

Novan himself that was so natural.

He found that, despite everything, he felt comfortable with the magician, in

that cabin in the mountains, and that scared him.

However, his body wounds were almost healed now, and this

meant that he would soon be ready to go again.

Novan He told an afternoon.

- And where are you going, pray?

- To the Tower, in the Valley of the Wolves.

The wizard's face darkened.

- Have not you heard the news?

- No. Why? What is it?

- The Valley of the Wolves is cursed, boy.

- What? That is nonsense. The Lady of the Tower never allow it.

She ...

- The Lady of the Tower is dead.

Ankris received the news with an incredulous silence.

- Not true, finally stammered.

- Yes it is. Nobody knows what happened, but it seems that

betrayed someone. Now the tower is abandoned and say a

curse hanging over her. Pity. Of the four High Schools

Wizardry was in ancient times, now only two remain.

- Can not be true. She can not be dead. I saw it ...

It took a while to get the accounts. It had been almost a year since

meet at the School of the Golden Wood, the day-Mae Shi

had stood the test of fire.

- If you have much interest in it, we can check-offered

Novan.

That afternoon made a magical seeing spell, and so, in a basin

enchanted waters containing the magician conjured the image of the

Torre.

It was a scene of desolation, because, even though it was a

building nestled between mountains, big and majestic, crowned by a

tall spire, presented a gloomy aspect and abandoned. Wolves

howled menacingly from the forest and even Novan is

shuddered to hear.

- Can not you hear? She whispered. Not like other wolves howl. Are

damn, boy, cursed, and will not allow anything or anyone invading their

territory.

Ankris nodded awe. Also he had understood the message

Valley Wolves.

The magical water showed them at the request of the sorcerer, an image of

inside the Tower. Both toured the rooms and corridors without moving

Novan's cabin and saw only silence, solitude and desolation.

No one lived and in the Tower and there was something sinister that put the

goosebumps.

- What happened here? Ankris whispered, terrified.

Novan sighed and shook his head.

- Do not know. But now I'm sure that Ms. de la Torre

is dead. Because never have allowed to happen something.

The basin now showed them a picture of the ground floor of the

Torre. A Ankris thought he saw, suddenly, a shadow glided downward

down the hall, but it disappeared quickly, and the elf thought he had been

fruit of his imagination.

- Have you seen enough?

Ankris nodded gravely. Novan knew not deceived and that the

vision was true, because he had seen performing spells Mae Shi

like. He felt a twinge of pain. It was assumed that what I learned in

School was secret, but she loved to share with him their new

findings. They had been close. Again, wondered Ankris

how it was that she had betrayed that way.

The image shivered and disappeared, and the water in the basin was again

only water.

- If the Lady of the Tower is dead Ankris said quietly, and

nobody can help me.

Novan shrugged.

- I told you not worth fighting.

During the following days, locked himself further Ankris itself

same, considering all the alternatives and trying to find a

out of their situation. Was slowly regaining strength, but not

had nowhere to go. And so, when approaching the next full moon,

Ankris himself was surprised Novan asking:

- When can we prove that spell were telling me about, for

awaken my consciousness during the full moon?

The wizard smiled.

Chapter X Memory of the Past

It was a strange feeling.

The transformation was just as painful, but this time he felt

the mortal fear that pervaded his consciousness ever fell in that

dark bottomless pit from which he never knew if he was going to escape. This time was

very aware of everything that happened, he realized that the beast awakened,

but they threw him out of his body. For a moment, the mind

elf and the wolf were observed, cautiously and with suspicion.

Then Wolf consciousness, insecure, he retired to a corner, from

where he continued watching, alert.

A little suspicious, Ankris tried to get in position. He was

within that strange wolf body. Her years transforming,

but I've never experienced that way.

Beside Novan, metamorphosed into a huge black wolf, what

observed chuckling.

- It feels good, huh? Only said, and his voice sounded like a growl.

Ankris wanted to respond, but only barked.

- Do not think it's so easy Novan said. Need some practice.

Come on, follow me.

Novan nimbly jumped out of the cabin. Ankris followed, unsure

still on all fours. Nevertheless, it felt good, and when

went outside and the light of the full moon bathed his body, a wild

sense of power through his veins. There was stronger, more agile and more

awake than ever, as if all his senses will capture new shades

I had never experienced. Intoxicated by this

discovery, threw back his head and howled.

Donovan joined him. Both howled under the full moon, and when other

Wolves answered them from the mountains and the wizard ran to

there Ankris followed with a bark of triumph.

That night was special. There was a hunt and learned Ankris

use your wolf body, teeth, claws, powerful legs.

Among several, killed a deer and it was like old times, when

the elf forest roamed the land leading his own herd,

before transforming completely into a wolf. However, and despite

he felt very comfortable with his new teammates, his

rapport with Novan was much higher. Ankris was discovered themselves

same admiring his movements agile and safe behavior,

as identical to a wolf, although still maintaining that gleam

intelligence in his eyes which showed that there was a wolf behind

rational consciousness. Novan was a wolf, yes, but also a man, and

Ankris realized that I envied. Because the wolf was part

him, and everything was perfect until the beast had begun to

dominate the full moon.

"Maybe I could be like him," thought Ankris. "As Novan. Follow

being me even when I transform. So never kill anyone. "

However, a shadow that clouded newfound joy.

Because, when the teeth of the wolves tore the neck of the deer, the

smell of blood the beast went crazy.

Ankris felt I was losing control. With a feral growl, is

rushed over the dam and sank her teeth into his neck, and a strange

bloodlust went down her spine. He wanted more, wanted to

hunting ... and killing.

'Only a deer "thought his rational part. However, somewhere in

his mind, the beast growled, pleased.

During the following months, came out every night Novan

full moon and learned what it was to be a real wolf. But in the long

summer evenings, the elf and wizard sat on the porch and

talking.

- It may not be so bad to be a werewolf Ankris mused one

day. Maybe I'll get used to it.

- You're not a werewolf. You're not even a man.

- So what am I?

Novan thought about it.

- You could say that you are an elf-wolf. Yes, it is. An elf-wolf.

- For some time I have thought about changing my name. Seek a

name that was related to my new condition, and the

Humans do not prove to difficult to pronounce. But I can not think

none quite appropriate.

Donovan gave him a long.

- That would mean giving up your roots. I know, right?

- I do not care. In my country and I want.

Novan not respond right away, but when he did, he said:

- Do you know why you keep using your Elvish name? Because, despite

what you say, have left much behind. While you are not able to look at

past pain, never forjarás a new identity and a destination

different.

Ankris not respond. Do not quite understand the words of the magician,

although they sensed their meaning, and in the following days pondered

it.

Not all conversations were so profound. On one occasion,

Ankris asked how he managed to appear completely

dress when transformed back into a human.

- It's a handy trick I learned a while. It's actually a

summoning spell variant: call your clothes to materialize

around your body when you want it.

- Sounds very complicated.

- Nah, just a matter of practice. At first you have to

really concentrate to remember the spell just as you transform,

but eventually becomes automatic. I just

imagine back in human form ... and clothing.

- I like to learn.

- You'd have to be a magician, puppy. And do not think that there are many

magicians in the world.

So the days passed, weeks and months. The Hunter not

had returned to show signs of life explained to Ankris Novan had

protected your home with a number of spells of concealment that although

did not invisible did reduce significantly the chances of

be seen by
