"I don't know exactly...Our village, which is west of here by..hundreds of miles? has made enemies over the time it has existed, because it was a village of mostly shifters, with few others. But us in particular? The only reason I would think that we would be attacked would be to make the village suffer from hearing about the deaths of two of their best children."<br/><br/>Noel thought back to that day, to everything that happened. His father had given him a necklace, with a blue gem set in it. Noel and Gabbi had left the village. Both took on their fastest forms to race each other without drawing too much attention to themselves. And as they got close to the camp....the area seemed to get darker. It...felt... darker. And then the shadow came...<br/><br/>"There might be...one more thing. My father...he is the elder of our village. He gave me this necklace before we left. Supposedly it has been in the village for generations."
