Unknown World part 2 (next chapters after this post may contain fighting)

Chapter 2

Focusing completely on what I was doing I erased everyone's memory of both her and Leaf. Now I made it seem like Berry and Foal were the alpha pair and not Tree or Stem. Wood, the other Healer, was left alone once again with no memory of his old Tyro but looking for a new one. "Done. Now let's go." At that I made a portal for us to go through. The outside of it looked like green lightning bolts just moving around and as you got to the center it looked like a night sky.
"Do we go through it?" Leaf looked amazed at what she could do, not frightened by it at all. I nodded telling Leaf that she could go through. Jumping in after her I land in the new world or the Magic World known by those who lived there.
The trees were in full bloom, the grass was green and plenty of animals around. Leaf looked in amazement at the wolves hunting large deer way bigger than the ones in the Real world. They looked the same, just bigger.
"Welcome to the Magic World or the Unnatural World. The place where you were at is known as the Real World here. This part here where you are currently looking is the starting place for the new. Where you learn what made it so you can come here. I'll be your teacher till we find what it is that you do. Some of it can be magic some can be using a sword. Others both." Leaf looked amazed at all of this again not a bit frightened.
"Ooh! I can't wait to learn what I'm good at!! Or what makes me have to be here and not in, what do you call it, the Real World?" Leaf gives a small jump in the air. Wow most are not excited to be here the first time. Leaf was unusual even for me. She seemed perfectly fine with coming here. "So Stem if you are to be my teacher I'll listen and find what it is that you believe I'm meant to be here!" Leaf’s eagerness must have been contagious because Stem herself began to get eager to teach Leaf.
"Ok! Well first we need to introduce you to the leader of this place. Come with me!" Stem leads the way to a very large cave. Quite empty except for a few nests and a bunch drawings on the walls. The wall drawings made up a great bunch of stories. Some legends, others true stories. When I first came here to be a Go Getter I heard all of them. A Go Getter is the few wolves who are trained to see if plain wolves have an ability that makes them belong in the Magic World. Many get It wrong on the first time, thankfully I didn't.
"Ah Stem your back! Who's this?" A black wolf with three dark gray spots around his teal eyes. He was larger but quite gentle and not really meant for the cold like some. Beside me, I could tell Leaf wanted to introduce herself but thought it was better if I did it instead of her. Leaf shifted her paws a couple of times before I chose to speak.
"Con this is Leaf. She was a healer in the Real World." I hoped my sharp 'was' told Leaf that she may no longer be a Healer. "Unlike others I've brought here she's quite eager to learn what to do and find her unnaturality from the Real World." Leaf holds her head high showing Con that she was determined to learn despite her newness to the area.
"Leaf? I've waited for you to come." Con stood up and walked around Leaf. He kept talking to himself too hard for Stem to make out what he was saying. "Stem train her well. She is going to be a paw full, but a strong wolf."
"Umm ok? I guess." Leaf looked somewhat nervous that he already knew who she was.
" Stem please show Leaf around. You can start the training tomorrow." Con looked surprised that Leaf hadn't moved when he already knew she was coming.

After we left the cave and traveled most of the area which looked much like the place where we came through the portal no one really said a word except me to explain everything.
"This place is pretty." Leaf said amazed.
"Yes it is. Sometimes I wonder why anyone would want to be in the Real World." I point with my tail to a bunch of mountains "Those mountains far off there." Stem waited for Leaf to nod when she found them. Those mountains were about two to four days out, unless you know a bunch of short-cuts but I didn't know any. It was a hard journey few made it without having to get medical help. They were far off; it was almost impossible to see them at times. "On the other side of them starts Sword County. If you can't use a sword then you have to go the long way. They are honorable wolves. Mess up in their tradition and code you may get you pelt off."
''How can wolves use swords? We can't hold them!" Leaf looked in shock of what I just told her. In response I shrugged. If I had known how I would've told her but those secrets were theirs and I'll leave it as theirs.

We finished looking around close to Moon Shine or the start of the night when in some places the moon shone the brightest. Which is why we have this time it's name. I showed Leaf three caves that were empty and small before she picked one to be hers while she's here. It was smaller than the others but plenty of space for her to do what she wants. "I'll see you tomorrow at dawn. "
"I'm surprised they don't have an odd name for that!" Leaf commented as soon as I left. I went to the cave I picked out my first day here. It was a bit more spacious then Leaf’s but mine had my own stories on it and my favorite tales and legends. One wall would be mine. As others come in they add their marks and tales.
As I started to drift to sleep a voice came in my head. She's not going to stay. She's the type that will leave everyone knows it. I try to cover my ears from the voice. It was raspy and like they wanted to scare me. Ignore him. He's just; how to put it; upset that he can't train her. But he is right she's going to leave. This voice sounded more calm and less raspy but still very raspy.
"I doubt it. She's too happy to be here!"
She's like a rogue as the first voice claimed.

Chapter 3

"Run!!! Craterday! Just run!" A common looking wolf with golden eyes yelled to a dark brown wolf with a black and red eye. His left one black and his right one red. Craterday had a sword in his paw and was on his hind paws. His sword has small drops of blood on it.
"Only because you're my friend will I leave. '' Putting my sword away and it instantly turned invisible. I run after my friend and easily pases him. "Come on Coil. You're starting to fall back and they're still chasing us!" I turn to see my friend run and jump a decently sized cliff. I followed and easley jumped it as well. When we turned around the other wolves were stuck knowing they couldn't make that jump. "They are nothing much more than cowards! Those were some of the easiest pack wolves with swords I've ever fought!"
"This may be fun for you but we promised Con we'd be back before Stem gets back. We probably don't have much time." Coil starts to walk away before I have to correct him.
"You mean you promised him not we. I wouldn't have made that promise! But I'll go back. It's only like I extremely hate Con and a couple others there! You were the one trained to be a Go Getter not me. So you may be ok with it but not me. Their rules are too simple for me. To free. I hate it!"
"And I thought you liked free." Coil rolls his eyes at me. Though Coil was slightly bigger then Craterday he wasn't the best of fighters. He was always one step too late in a battle and never allowed me to kill or injure the enemies.
"I love the freedom I have no rules. Well unless we're fighting in Sword County, then we have to follow rules but otherwise not really. Their rules are simple don't injure unless you have to don't fight one another with your claws out you have to keep them in. All dumb stuff. They don't know how to live. I mean they do but they can't have fun!" My definition of fun was injuring wolves. In some senses wolves call me a psycho. But they don't know how clever and smart I am. If Coil tells me to do something I'll most likely do it but in my own merciless way. Coil and a few others were probably the only reason that some wolves are still alive. I hate to admit it but I am hard to control. Often I went completely psychotic and would try to kill them. All they had to do was pin me or draw their swords to remind me where I was. So I simply try to do what they say, sometimes. I liked being alone but a curse was put on me; kinda anyway; so I have the habit of attacking when angered slightly. I've gotten much better at controlling it though. They were the only reason that I was probably not dead as well.
"Whatever. We have a six day journey in front of us so you mind not trying to get all psycho. " I looked down knowing if it happened I couldn't help it if I tried. Coil too knew if it happened it wasn't necessarily my fault.
When I was a Tyro I and the rest of my old pack got in a fight with some outsiders from their pack. The pack was already dying and one more loss in a fight the pack would no longer be full. During that fight I got in the way of a spell meant for their leader. I had jumped in the way on purpose knowing I had to save my alpha. Sense then that spell was outlawed. If it was used wolves from the dead would hunt them down and kill them slowly. In their death they would serve the dead like slaves. It was a great letdown within a family. That family would be an outcast and possibly killed. No one used it in fear of breaking the family honor.
"There's no promises but I'll try." I sighed as I remembered what happened that day. The pack still lost and was broken. My friends; now the ones who could stop me; were the only ones that we knew of that made it out alive. Most likely others did but no one mentioned that they were from that pack. "I wish there was a countercurse for the spell that hit me. I know we tried almost everything but a curse must have a countercurse." Even with me being able to control it, if I get pushed past my limit I allow anger to control me. Which was part of the spell.
Coil shook his head knowing that I often talked to myself aloud when thinking of ways to stop it. "Didn't you say at one point you know a shortcut back up to where they train Go Getters?" Both of us knew that Coil was trying to get me to stop thinking about the spell. But I did know a fast way up.
"Follow me. We just have to move fast." I lead the way at a full run. We started up a mountain and right into a very dark cave. Coil had to practically hold on to my tail so he didn't get lost.
"Well it's a good thing you're like half demon. I mean like you can see in complete darkness where I can't even see my muzzle in front of me." Coil easley saw that he made a mistake by saying that but he did a nice job somewhat covering it up. Enough that I didn't say anything to him about it.
"We're out. That probably just cut out what a day?"
"Well only because we're skilled in moving In weird places and can stay long periods of time without sleeping at all." I roll my eyes. "I know I know. Sorry."

"Coil and Craterday are back! Tell Con! He wanted us to as soon as we spotted them!" A look out wolf claimed. Great as if I wanted to see them anyway he wants to know when we arrive. One of these times I'm going to claw him. I mean they'll all know we're here some way or another but yelling that were here is a bit stupid. Con comes out of his cave looking very cocky like normal. Many other wolves came in, some I somewhat recognized, others were new. All depends on how long they've been training there.
"Welcome back Coil! Great to see you tried to keep your promise! A bit later then Stem though. Can't blame you. That psycho behind you must slow you down." Con looks at me expecting me to do something. Rather it was talk back or attack.
" Great to see you too." I growled at Con. Obviously wanting to try to hurt him.
"Craterday can you stay out here and possibly see if you can make some wolves not your enemy while me and Con talk in his cave?" Coil said knowing that it would be better if I wasn't stuck in a contained area with Con. Which was smart because if he says one more stupid thing I would rip his throat out.
"Sure. As long as HE stays away from me." At that Coil and Con go to his cave and I'm stuck outside with some wolves who I know hate me and others who know nothing about me. And how am I not to not walk away or go somewhere quiet!
I was not expecting anyone to come next to me but this gray she wolf had the courage to come to me.
"Hi, my name's Leaf. What's yours?" Leaf calmly walked up to me not knowing why everyone didn't. Stem comes over as well.
"My name's Craterday. By the way, only Stem came over with you. Is she your teacher?" I eye Stem closely wondering if she'll tell Leaf not to speak with me.
"Yes I'm her teacher Craterday. Now Leaf come, we have things to do." Leaf obediently follows Stem. Looking back once to see me pull out my weapon to clean it.
Cleaning a sword was just as dangerous as fighting with one. You clean it the same way you clean yourself; with the tongue; it can slide in your paws as your cleaning so it can cut you anywhere on your body or you can cut your tongue with the blade. As I was cleaning my slightly bloody sword many were giving me looks and trying to avoid me. Good at least I don't have to fight anyone because they say something and it sets me off.
"Well, well, well, look who's come back with his friend. Can't leave his side or you'll go mad!" A brown wolf with common golden eyes says loud enough for everyone to hear. Well I thought I wouldn't fight anyone. But of course Nero has to open his big mouth.
Growling I stood up to face him. " Nero you know why I can't leave his side. Now get out of here." Once again my weapon was in it's holder so no one could see it.
"Ooh I see the smallest wolf here thinks he can stand up to me! If Con wasn't the leader you'd have been dead long ago." Nero gets closer to my face growling as well. As he was merely a tail width away he pretended to bite at me. Of course, I flinch back out of instinct. "Ok so now you can't even hold your ground!" Nero goes to claw at me before I draw my sword. Nero in turn grabs his as well. Though Nero knew he wasn't as good as Craterday he started the fight and he planned on finishing it.
