Side Story 1: The Life of a Parent

“Do not make targets of yourselves by straying from the pack! Believe in us—in your comrades! These are not battles to be fought alone!”

I shouted instructions to my fellow clan members while slashing at the monsters relentlessly attacking us, tearing through them one after another. Rohga, my fang-shaped sword, was a magic blade that had been passed down our clan for generations. Only the alpha was allowed ownership of this treasured weapon.

Normally, I only used Rohga in true emergency situations such as wars. As a result, I had naturally trained myself to wield it to its full potential, but this forest—the Demonic Forest, which the scoundrel in the human town had told me of—was far harsher than I had imagined. As the place where the legendary Supreme Dragon dwelled, it was a secluded region even we were aware of despite our home being so far away.

Though we had known of the perils since long before entering its boundaries, the reality exceeded anything we could have anticipated. The monstrous threats living here made it excruciatingly clear that we lacked strength. In other lands, monsters powerful enough to command their own territories rarely appeared, but that was not the case here. We had been misfortunate enough to have faced a veritable battalion of such fearsome creatures thus far. And to make matters worse, there was no end to them in sight.

Less than a half day had passed since we stepped into the Forest, yet already a third of my fellows were injured. A few were so grievously wounded they could no longer walk or move on their own. Grr... Never could I have dreamed that such dreadful beasts exist!

If things continued as they’d been, I could clearly envision a near future where annihilation awaited us. Although for some reason I couldn’t fathom, the flood of monsters had begun to slow a short while earlier and was now a mere trickle. I wondered, then, if I should take this opportunity to order a temporary retreat.

As a father, I could not repress my driving urge to save my daughter even a second sooner. Nothing was more important to me. But neither could I risk the lives of my comrades who yet breathed for a daughter who might have already been dead. Even knowing the dangers they would confront and the possibility of death itself, my comrades still chose to follow me. I was this pack’s leader, and as such, my first thought was to ensure the pack’s survival.

Prioritizing my desire as a father in this situation wouldn’t yield the outcome I sought anyway. Considering the distraught state we were currently in, the best thing I could do for us all was to have us retreat and regroup. I opened my mouth to announce my decision, but just then, I heard a rustling noise coming from some distance away.

Werewolves possessed the best hearing among the therianthropes. We could identify an enemy’s location by sound alone, before they even appeared in front of us.
