"It's just another side effect of the spore." Griff said, "Both of you should be back to normal in about an hour." One of his ears twitched, then he turned to his left, now in a fighting stance. He started growling and held his claws at the ready.<br/>"Calm yourself Griff." A voice said, "We come in peace... for the moment anyway." Not a second later did three men step out of some rather large bushes. Two were insanely large anthro wolves and one was an ordinary human. The wolves had white fur and were no less than seven feet tall, both wearing black tank tops and blue jeans and no shoes. The human was wearing a white t-shirt, black pants, and black dock martins, and black shades over his eyes. He had short blonde hair that was combed back to look more professional.<br/>"We come with a proposal to your little group." The man said with a small grin, "Refusal would be unwise. Anyway, we have been watching this little group since you got off the boat. We saw two of you kill a trio of Nekos who had a significant advantage over them. Sadly for you, those Nekos had a good standing in Las Carnales. Now, you may ask why you should care about Las Carnales, well, the reason you should is because seventy percent of the island's population is a part of Las Carnales. We are a part of that seventy percent. Now, normally we would kill you all and call it a day, but there is somebody here we want dead, so to make it up to us you are going to bring him to us so we may give him the slow, painful death he deserves. I believe your leader knows him already, as does the drug addict. His name is Ashton. He was the one who refused to let your leader in his group, the one whose father sent almost all of Las Carnales here. We want to get revenge, so you're going to help us. You will find his group, kill all of his friends, then drag him back to us. Please make it as painful as possible, we want this person to suffer like we have. If you bring us Ashton, we will forget you killed some of our members and ensure your stay on this island is a very comfortable one."<br/>"We'll never do Las Carnales dirty work for you!" Griff growled in response, "Now leave before I get nasty!"<br/>"I don't think that's your decision to make Griff." The man laughed, "Based on what we've seen, it's hers." He pointed to Reiko as he said the last part. "What do you say? Want to kill the little brat who refused to help you?"
