Through his dreams, Markus had come to learn that this enchantment in his soul had the power to destroy everything, even the goddess Izilan herself. Yet, one dream shook Markus to his very core; one that appeared countless times and always left the same effect, fear.

This dream always started the same way, he was in a meadow, Markus was never sure where, but he always knew it was a meadow. Suddenly, his brother would appear, always giving him a smile that revealed his menacing fangs; all the while saying "Markus, you feel it don't you."

He was always forced to reply back "Feel what?"

"Your soul slowly being burned away as the Augment turns you into the weapon you truly are."

With horror in his heart, he knew it was true. Every moment he could feel his identity being slowly eaten away by whatever force this Augment was. Trying so hard to deny this truth, Markus would always shout back "I am not a WEAPON, I am Markus Valecruiz (Va-el-cruise) Frostbane, child to Sophia Frostbane and Turin Fireheart."

"Hah, believe that if you wish, little brother, but soon, oh so very soon, you will have to face this truth one way or another, maybe killing your own child will do just that."

Now he was scared. 'How does he know about my child? When we fought I never told him about Kia or the fact that she even had the possibility of being pregnant' Markus thought to himself before he would speak again. Slowly, he replied "I will never hurt my child or my mate, not even if the Ultimate Force himself commands me to."

"Ahh, so you admit he does have some hold on you then. Good, trust me, it will make the transition so much easier."

Suddenly, Felix would rush up to him, and bite him on the side of his neck. Even though the wound in his neck would bring small amounts of pain, the vampiric genes entering his system always became unbearable. The pain would always feel so different each time he was bitten, and this time, it revealed itself as if his whole body was skinning itself from the inside out. To his surprise, he would always feel something pushing out of his upper back, until finally, it would push through his skin, revealing two bat-like wings. Scared, Markus would always look down, only to see that his whole body was covered in a black mist, turning his white fur into the dark color of malice itself. Then, his sight would go from normal to a dark purple, a color that brought fantasies of death, misery and woe into his head. As the transformation completed, Markus would always feel another presence fill his soul. It wasn't the equilibrium of emotions Izilan brought, but an undeniable need to slaughter. Filled with this need, he would always strike at Felix, only to have him turn into a dark mist and dissipate. Unsatisfied, he would search the area, only to find one person; Kia.

As his body turned to face her, Markus began screaming in his mind 'STOP, STOP, STOP DAMN YOU,' only to be replied with a loud, mysterious laughter as his body advanced toward the feline. To his own horror, Kia would never move, only stare as the behemoth would advance towards her with sharpened wolf-like claws.

Finally, when he would reach Kia, Markus would always hear the ear-piercing screams of his beloved kitten as he ripped her apart.

As always, the dream cut off here. Unlike the other dreams however, as soon as the dream ended, he transitioned into another one almost immediately. Now, his body had returned to the lycanthrope form he always remembered, he was even wearing his normal outfit consisting of a white shirt, a brown vest, brown expandable pants, and black custom underwear. Yet the scenery was different from any dream he had witnessed before. Now, Markus was back in the grey room where he fought furiously with his brother, only this time, instead of his brother being here, a young, vibrant Evizilan woman stood before him. This woman had a coat as black as ash itself, a strong, toned body, moderately curved hips, and a pair of the most elegant breasts he had ever seen, easily D cups. The Evizil was wearing a white dress that reminded Markus of a wedding dress, and then he knew why. Suddenly, he blurted out "You're the girl who played Izilan in the Blood Festival!"

The woman just let out a cute little giggle as she replied "Awww, how nice of you to remember me, my little Everin."

"What are you doing here? Better yet, what am I doing here?"

"You're here because I summoned you here, and I'm here because we need to talk about you're Augment, little Evizil."

Shocked, Markus realized who he was speaking to; the Izilan, not just some actress. Stuttering at the sudden realization, Markus was able to get out "Bu...but, you were, I...was, you're the one who released that thing inside of me?"

Once again Izilan let out a giggle and replied "Looks like you have a sharp mind, little Evizil."

Suddenly, Markus was beyond furious. The very goddess he idolized for the past three years now backstabbed him and unleashed a weapon that was utterly devouring his soul. Not afraid to show his anger, Markus let out a snarl and showed his fangs, replying "You...BITCH!! Not only did you take over my body and almost rob me of the satisfaction of killing Felix, but you released that damnable "Augment", now the stupid thing is eating away at my soul."

Shocked and a little angry herself for being insulted like that, Izilan moved back a bit and said "The Augment is doing what?"

"You heard me. It is devouring who I am so I can turn into your god forsaken weapon."

"Look Markus, I'm sorry that it is doing that to you, but you have to understand that we need that power. You know as well as I do that you can't defeat Felix without the Augment, he's become too damn powerful for even me to stop."

Still a little angry, Markus shot back "So the great Wolf Goddess can't crush a puny Malar? Ach, and here I was thinking that I praised you."

Now Izilan's hairs stood straight as she replied "Listen here you little brat, I don't know how or where your no good brother is getting his power, but its equaling mine. The only way that could be possible is if one of the gods has joined the Races of Darkness."

"Well then tell me how the hell to find this god so I can destroy it and Felix with the weapon you so rudely awakened."

Surprised, Izilan gave Markus an interested look as she said "What do you mean?"

Markus just sighed as he said "In these dreams someone has been giving me, I've learned that this Augment has the potential to destroy even the all powerful gods of Illian."

"What!?!" Then, Izilan sighed once before she spoke again "damn you Father, what have you done?"

"What are you talking about?"

"The only person who could have created an enchantment this powerful that can inhabit a living being is Gree, the Ultimate Force himself."

With a smirk, Markus just answered "hah, I should have known that one way or another, my life would never be normal. Oh well...guess I only have one plan of action: find the Trinity Prophet and hope that I come across this god along the way."

"You mean that even through all of this, you're still willing to find the Trinity Prophet?"

"Well...at the rate the Augment is burning away my soul, I would have to say I have about three years before I am completely consumed by it. Might as well go out knowing I save Kia and possibly my child."

"Markus, she is pregnant, trust me, we're not called "all knowing gods" for nothing."

A little surprised, yet glad at the same time, Markus replied "Then I really do have a reason to save Illian now don't I."

With another of her giggles, Izilan advanced towards Markus and said "You remind me so much of my son, you know that?"

"Really? Well...jeez I don't..."

Just as he was about to finish, Izilan made her way over to him and placed her right index finger over his muzzle, signaling him to silence. With her left hand, she began tracing her way up and down his right arm, all the while saying "Shhh...just take the damn compliment." Now, she was surprised with herself. Suddenly, urges that she hadn't felt in ages came rushing back to her, and she liked it. She remembered these urges all too well; they first started occurring when she gazed upon her son, Everin, for the first time. The urges could be described in one word; mating. She knew if she actually tried mating with this young Evizil, she would most likely have a child, and that was the last thing she wanted. For even though to Markus, this was a dream, Izilan had used the powers of the Maw to bring her physical self into the dream in order to clearly understand the young man she had used a fortnight ago.

A bit confused, Markus was about to ask Izilan why she was tracing her way up and down his right arm the way she was. Yet, even though it was awkward to him, it was definitely stimulating. Finally, he was able to let out "Night Mother, are you sure you really want to keep on doing that?"

Suddenly, the urges doubled, and Izilan could no longer endure the need. For a moment, she stopped and said "You're right...I know a much more enjoyable parting gift."

Now shocked, Markus was able to get out "What did you sa..." before the Night Mother used the sharp nail of her left index finger to rip the side of Markus's pants and underwear, causing both of them to slip down to the ground. Now, with nothing left to protect his nether regions, Markus was a bit embarrassed, causing him to blush slightly.

Izilan knew she must have acted too fast, so in order to calm the young man's nerves, she looked straight into his eyes and began kissing him passionately. As she felt his tongue wrap around her own, Izilan began recalling the first time she and Everin mated, which only magnified the urges making their way to the surface. In the middle of it all, the Night Mother guided Markus's hands to the shoulder straps of her long dress and forced him to slip them off, causing the whole dress to slide gently to the ground, revealing her uncovered breast, ass, and pussy.

Knowing there was no way he could ignore the passionate Wolf Goddess, Markus quickly broke the kiss, moved behind the woman, and began tracing his hands down the bottom of her neck to the valley in between Izilan's large breasts. With each stroke of his hands, a low whimper of delight whispered its way out of the woman's muzzle. Knowing he now had her; Markus wasted no time in caring for her elegant, responsive breasts. Quickly, he began tracing the index fingers around her nipples in a circular motion, starting at the outside of the nipples and slowly moving farther away, deep into the regions of Izilan's wondrous orbs of pleasure. With each swirl of his fingers, Markus felt the Wolf Goddess give a light shudder as her nipples slowly hardened. When they hit their peak, Markus slowly began massaging the light orbs by cupping them, then lightly squeezing and releasing them, almost like a baker would knead dough. After minutes of doing this, Izilan's shudders slowly started to fade away, signaling to Markus that simply playing with her was not enough.

Now, he gave a small laugh as he quickly ripped his vest in two and pulled the Wolf Goddess closer, allowing her to feel his erect manhood against her ass. As if it were already inside her, Izilan tried clenching her ass muscles, but to no avail. Knowing she was going to accept being penetrated, Markus moved back slightly, positioned his dick directly in front of the Goddess's ass, and plunged forward. After giving a small yelp of pleasure, Izilan calmed herself, and began rocking to the motion of each stroke. To keep herself firmly in place, the Night Mother placed her arm around his neck, all the while placing Markus's left hand on her steaming pussy. Knowing what do to next, Markus quickly slipped two fingers into the welcoming sex and began pushing deeper inside her, giving her the true feeling of wholeness. Finally, as he resorted to using three fingers, Markus felt Izilan give a shudder, so he pulled his fingers out just in time before the Wolf Goddess released her juices.

With that, the Wolf Goddess gently slipped the pulsing manhood deep into her pussy, causing her whole body to be filled with absolute ecstasy. With each movement of Markus's hips, Izilan would slightly bounce in response, causing her large breasts to easily move with her. Knowing that she would want them cared for, Markus quickly moved the Night Mother farther down, almost to the point where the base of his dick would be inside of her. With this done, Izilan's breasts smashed against his stunning white coat, causing her pleasure to magnify as her large breasts were heated and comforted by the young man's chest. As they continued like this, small amounts of juices dripped onto the floor as well as Markus, but his white fur easily hid the small traces. When she knew she could stand it no longer, Izilan buried her head in his chest and moaned as she felt her body, as well as the body of the young Evizil, hit climax. Moments later, Markus released his seed into her sex, and Izilan replied by covering his manhood with juices that smelled oddly of sweets and flowers.

Now finished, Izilan unlocked her legs and gently slipped off of Markus, all the while enjoying the feeling of his dick slightly pulsing. Once she was off, Izilan just buried her whole body into Markus's fur, in response held in a warm hug, allowing her to hear the young male's heartbeat. Knowing he would have to face the truth sooner or later, Izilan uncovered her face, looked up at Markus and whispered "Markus...how can I put this...I may be pregnant."

Now he was upset, and even she could tell by the way his fur was starting to stand on edge. Quietly, he replied "I'm guessing it's not Everin's child is it?"

"No...it's going to be yours, Markus."

At first, Izilan thought he was going to smack her right in the face, but instead, he just looked at her in the eyes, realizing that she meant that to her, this dream was no fantasy, and laughed. Now shocked, she just replied "What's so funny?"

Calming himself, Markus just replied "Oh by the Ultimate Force, I really should stop having sex, all it does is give me children."

"Hey, first off, that's what sex is for, little Evizil; and second, this isn't my idea, it's Gree's."

"Gree, what on Illian would he want you to have my child for?"

"Honestly, I don't know, we'll have to see when the pup is born now won't we?"

"I guess, oh before I forget, would you mind letting me wake up after you're ready to go?"

Now, all Izilan could do is laugh as she said "Markus, you really do remind me of how calm my son was under pressure, you know that? Alright, I don't see why I can't help the father of my future child."

As she said this, the room began to turn into a black abyss, followed by the young Evizilan girl suddenly disappearing. When she was gone, and the room had gone completely dark, Markus heard Izilan one last time, saying "You might find that these dreams are much better than reality, my little Evizil."

****

When he finally woke up, Markus understood what she meant. Slowly opening his eyes, Markus learned two things; he was in a hospital room, and he was accompanied by a husky woman that he assumed was his doctor and a young Evizilan male with fur the color of tree bark; Uren. When he fully opened his eyes, Markus knew something was terribly wrong, he couldn't see out of his right eye. Panicked, Markus started feeling the right side of his face to make sure his eyelid was open, and to his horror, it was. Finally comprehending that his was blind in his right eye, he quickly sat up, scaring the poor woman and Uren half to death. With more fear in his voice than he intended, Markus said to Uren and the husky doctor "Give me a mirror."

Regaining his wits, Uren only frowned as he said "I don't think you should..."

Now filled with fear driven rage, he shouted back "JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING MIRROR!"

Knowing Markus would get out of the bed to find one himself; Uren submitted and grabbed a nearby hand mirror from a small table in the room. As Uren handed the mirror to him, Markus could already begin to see a scar running down the right side of his face. When held the mirror directly in front of his face, he saw the full damage. The scar he saw started shortly above his eyebrow and trailed all the way down to his cheekbone. His right eye was very different from before; no longer did it hold its stunning dark blue gaze that froze all it looked upon, now it merely stared back at him with a dull, silvery look. As he concentrated more on the eye, he found that not only was the iris silver, but the pupil had a similar misty, silver look. Suddenly, Markus noticed that starting at his cheekbones; oddly shaped burn marks curled their way down his face to the rest of his body. At first, Markus didn't know if he should yell or cry, but then the idea hit him to search the rest of his body for any more damage and the rest of the marks. As he was about to lift the bed sheet farther, Uren knew what he was planning and weakly let out "Markus, don't do this to yourself."

In response, Markus just shot back "Don't say another word; I have all rights to see what my body looks like." With that, he pulled the rest of the covers off, revealing the rest of his body from the legs down, which were still covered by the blue expanding pants he had worn in the Blood Festival. Knowing the mirror would not allow him to fully grasp the damage; he placed the hand mirror beside him and let out a low whimper as he saw the rest of his upper body. From his neck down, the burn marks continued winding their way down and across his upper body, until finally he could no longer see them beneath the blue pants.

Just as he was about to remove his pants, the husky girl lightly blushed as she said "Sir, the burn marks continue until your groin, from there they just move around it and make their way down the side of your legs until they stop at the tip of your feet. Also, I did some research on the shape of your burn marks and I found out that they're runes."

Distressed, yet more eager to find out more, Markus asked "Runes of what?"

The husky just looked into his left eye as she said "Runes of Relsinger, the language of the gods. Thing is, the burn marks are too dark right now to read, so I have no idea what they say."

Now, Markus began recalling the dreams he had been having, and suddenly realizing that he had had a lot of dreams, too many in fact for one night, asked "How long have I been here?"

Uren quickly rose and replied "A full fortnight Markus, whatever you did during the Blood Festival must have hurt like a bitch."

Recalling the full events of that night, the fight with his brother, as well as unleashing the Augment, Markus began feeling a sudden tug on his soul; the Augment was ready again. Like in the Castle of the Ether, Markus began feeling his soul being eaten away as the Augment started bringing its powers to the surface. Filled with a sudden hatred towards his brother, Izilan, and the Augment itself, Markus let out a howl of rage and removed himself from the hospital bed. As the burning sensation the Augment brought grew stronger, the rage he felt only magnified, causing Markus to begin shaking. Concerned, Uren tried to say "Markus, what's..." before the husky doctor stopped him mid sentence.

With a look of horror on her face, the doctor just pointed towards Markus and said "Look...the runes...they're glowing." Not understanding what she meant, Uren looked back at Markus and suddenly realized that the doctor was right; the burn marks slowly began glowing with a black, malicious light.

Now devoured by the same madness he had used to cast "Red Twilight", Markus only saw Uren and the doctor as enemies he must destroy. Slowly, Markus gritted his teeth and said "Run away...or die."

Uren could tell by the tone in Markus's voice that he was dead serious, if the two of them didn't get out of there, he would undoubtedly kill the both of them. Shocked by the sudden change in his friend, Uren just replied "Markus calm down, remember, we're your friends."

Now the runes began emitting a much stronger glow, letting Uren and the husky doctor read them. As he started reading the runes, Uren noticed that Markus's left eye had changed; no longer was it the harsh, dark blue eye that he had remembered, now the pupil had become a vertical slit, whereas the iris had become a dark purple that reminded Uren oddly of death and suffering. Markus just replied in a dark, monotone voice "A weapon does not need friends. You have decided to stay instead of run, now prepare to die." With that, Markus formed a class 2 seal and watched as the space between his hands filled with a Dark Fire that was as malicious in color as the runes on his body. Just as he was about to throw it at Uren and the doctor, the room door opened. The person who came through the opening was the last person Markus wanted to enter the room.

****

Worried sick about Markus, Kia had been waiting outside of the room since the day she brought him there. During the time Markus was unconscious, Kia had spent her days wandering the city and catching up on old friends. In fact, just as she had returned from the Pleasure District to get some money back from a gecko girl she use to know, Kia heard the sound of three voiced in the hospital room. A bit excited, Kia pressed one of her large, feline ears against the door to hear the conversation. Catching the response to the conversation from a very cold voice, Kia heard "You have decided to stay instead of run, now prepare to die." At this, she was utterly terrified, she knew that voice anywhere; it was Markus's voice. Wondering if he was being attacked when she least expected it; Kia quickly turned the doorknob and entered the room. The sight she saw brought a whole new definition of fear into her heart. Standing in front of her, Uren and the doctor who had been helping Markus for the past fortnight were about to be burned alive by her future mate. Thinking of a way to save the three of them from trouble, Kia couldn't help but notice Markus's menacing left eye as well as the large series of glowing black runes that trailed from his face all the way to his blue pants.

Hoping it would stop him, Kia just replied "Markus, what happened to you?"

Without relinquishing the Dark Fire, Markus answered her in the same monotonous voice "I have become the ultimate weapon for the gods. My sole purpose is to destroy Felix Lightbane and the god who is granting him the powers he has."

Not fully understanding what he was saying, Kia shot back at him "That's a lie!! The Markus I know would never allow himself to be a tool for anyone, not even Izilan."

Now Markus looked back at her, focusing his cursed left eye on her, and responded "Girl, you're lover is gone. A god has commanded me to resurface on the face of Ill, and so I have. I may only be here because of this Augment, but soon, oh so very soon, I will come back in full force, and the world of Ill will remember the name of Valecruiz of the Void. Your heart has no sway on me, little kitten, now run or be vanquished like these poor fools." As he said this, the Dark Fire grew to enormous lengths, becoming a giant fiery orb that could easily destroy the whole room.

In a panic for her own life now, Kia shot back at 'Markus' "Markus, I know you're still in there. Listen to me, whatever this thing is, you have to gain control. If you don't, how will you ever find the Trinity Prophet? How will you ever care for me or your child? You have to realize that I need you, no, we need you."

At this, Markus did nothing, and soon it appeared that he was set on destroying the three of them. Suddenly, she noticed that his left eye had changed back into the deep, confident blue she remembered, showing to Kia that her message got through to him. Proving this further, Markus brought both of his hands together, destroying the large Dark Fire. Even though he was back to normal, the dark runes still glowed on his body, signaling to everyone that whatever was causing them was still in full effect. When he had gained full control of his body, Markus buckled his legs and slumped to the floor. Suddenly, Markus let out a large howl and placed his hands on the floor. From there, he began sending massive amounts of magic through the floor, causing the floor to pulse with each surge of magic Markus released. At first, Kia was confused, but when she saw the light emitting from the runes dissipate, she understood why he was doing this.

Scared for her lover's well being, Kia quickly ran towards him, knelt down, and hugged him. As he returned the embrace, Markus just let out "Kia...I don't know if I can do this."

She looked straight in his eyes and said "No one is asking you to do anything and you know that."

"You know what I have to do..."

"Markus, stop being a martyr for everyone!! First you joined the Alpha Pack because you thought you owed the Evizil, now you want to search the world for this stupid Prophet because you think Illian is counting on you. For once, be selfish, you've earned it."

"Kia...I can't stop this thing inside me, and slowly, bit by bit, its eating away at who I am, and soon, I won't be Markus Snow, I'll just be a nameless weapon wielded by Gree."

In a rage, Kia cried out "But WHY!?! What have you done to them that has made them do this to you?"

Markus just hugged her tighter as tears began swelling in his eyes. Slowly he responded "Kia...I haven't done any wrong, the gods believe this is the only way to stop Felix."

Now, with a tone that Markus had never heard Kia use before, she said "So this is about your stupid armageddon against your brother? Why do you care about him more than me?"

With this, Markus released the pent up tears as he buried his face into her shoulder. Through her fur, Kia could hear "I don't....Kia, I honestly...don't. He's become a ...threat to everyone. I'm going to keep fighting...to protect you and...our child."

When she knew his words rang true, Kia began feeling regretful that she had snapped at him like that. In response, Kia just buried her head in Markus's shoulder and replied "Then we'll fight him together, no matter what."

****

The next day, Markus and Kia prepared for their journey. Today, the two of them were beginning their quest to find the Trinity Prophet and bring peace back to Illian before Markus was completely consumed by the Augment. Markus now wore a large, grey cloak that covered the front of his body as well as his back, shielding the runes from any straying eyes. Underneath the cloak however, Markus wore a new outfit, one consisting of a black vest, matching black expandable pants, a pair of black gloves. One part of his outfit that stood out the most however was a large, pendant that he wore around his neck. The chain was relatively small, so the pendant stopped at the base of his neck. Embedded in the center of the pendant was a large, red stone called a Blood Oath. A Blood Oath is a fine diamond that has been infused with the blood of someone the person holds dear, keeping them close to the person wearing the pendant; in Markus's case, the Blood Oath is filled with his mother's blood.

Kia now wore a full garment of black, consisting of panties, pants, a bra, a shirt, and a large hooded cloak. As the two stood outside of the gates to the Golden City, Markus just looked at his feline and said "You ready?"

In response, Kia just looked up at him and said "Whenever you're by my side, I'm always ready, Markus." With that, Markus and Kia advanced into the unknown to search for a person who would bring a future back to the shattered world of Illian.
