I'll save this space for memes, the PSL starts in the comment below.

[ Wulf presses closer when Brad takes to the sky, confidence in his balance only reaching up to a certain height. Being so close, though, has Wulf's nose pressing in just behind Brad's ear for a brief, bright second. ]

[ A second, which is all Wulf really needs. ]

[ Brad's scent is still disturbed, Wulf finds, though in a easier way than before. Instead of a cloying scent gag, Brad simply smells clean. Frustrating, but understandable. Wulf, on the other hand, is bathed in his own scent: a heated of piece of charcoal so close to combustion. While not in rut, Wulf's instincts run higher than many other alphas like him. He reflexively covers his pack in his scent when they are weak and without a strong one of their own. That includes Brad now. ]

Then why don't you smell it? [ The facts don't add up. All the other alpha wizards had a strong scent; enough for Wulf to recognize who's who from through the door, but not Brad. If Brad's supposed to be powerful, then why doesn't he smell it? The posture he flaunts is different from what his scent must provide. The cogs slowly turn as Wulf ponders through the mystery. ]

Other alphas usually are. If anything, their powers are worth eating. [ But here Wulf doesn't attack, even if he wants to. The Sage acts as a calming beacon, their guidance and acceptance making Wulf tamer than he'd been in centuries; but how civil he is against Brad's back is unusual. Wulf takes a deeper smell, uncaring that his nose now dips directly against the side of Brad's neck. He's going to get to the bottom of this. ]

Dry. [ Wulf's wants to lick it, see if it feels as good on his tongue as it smells. The only thing that stops him is Brad pulling away and pushing Wulf in the same movement, making the broom sway. ]

[ The swaying isn't appreciated, and Wulf tightens his grip on Brad. Again, a sulk: ]
Fine.

[ He's not used to being up so high and he likes running for a reason. Wulf doesn't threaten their safety again. ]

[ Well, at least it's slightly comical to see Wulf's massive form brood on the back of Brad's broom. ]

[ When they land, Wulf nearly goes back to Brad's neck; they're not in the air anymore so there's no reason for him not to. Until the Sage speaks, that is.


Swamp's just off the path, water smells off that way. [ One of the things that makes a swamp a swamp: unmoving water that's humid and stale. Wulf doesn't want to help the other alpha's, but for the Sage he will. ]

[ Brad spending energy on something so unneeded makes Wulf's brows pinch in confusion, their proximity such that Wulf's nose gets blasted, just a little, with magical aircon. ]

[ Like a surprised dog, Wulf sneezes, surprised and caught off guard. He even has to clear his throat before he continues. ]
We'll have to walk until at least moonrise before we get there.

Not yet. [ But once Wulf catches wind of the Corruption, he's sure he'll be able to track it like a hound. Until then, he wants as much information about the enemy as possible, what weaknesses he should be keeping an eye on. ] What is it like, anyways?

[ Wulf is quiet at the intensity of the threat, all the other alphas falling silent instead of boasting. If the threat is truly so great then Wulf will have to fight everything he can. There have been great foes he's hunted before, great wizards and monsters that he's sunk his elongated teeth into and never let go until the threat was neutralized: but the Calamity is beyond even that. Pride only matters when you win, so Wulf sets about knowing as much as he can in the time spent walking through the forest. ] And how do each of you fight, then, as a team?

[ The Sage, Wulf understands finally why he's been so attracted to their presence. Wulf tips his head to the side and ponders. Taking orders from someone, relying on others: neither come natural to him. He's only ever had his own strength to believe in. If there was anyone to finally trust... ]

I'll follow their orders, then. I've never had to think of combat in such a way. Hunts haven't been difficult in a while; perhaps I've grown stale to the true threat.

I have my teeth and my claws, the moon showed me how a millennia ago. [ That's the last time Wulf had diffuclty in a fight. Time for another period of growth: one which Wulf knows not where it will take him. ]

[ Wulf tips his head back as the air begins to change, pulling ahead of the pack once the Sage calls for their attention. The air is humid and still, yet Wulf can still sense where creatures inside it move: their actions shifting the space around them just enough for Wulf to catch: and yet, there's not even a fly close. Something feels wrong, the boardwalk in front of the path just rotted enough that Wulf decides better safe, than sorry. ]

Closer than not. Prepare yourselves.

[ The alpha in Wulf stirs, laughing at what Brad thinks is small. Part of him wants to chip back like he would to an partner he was courting, stating he'd hate to see what Bradley considered large, then. ]

[ But when Wulf turns around, Brad isn't there anymore; neither the dock, or the path back to the Sage, too. Instantly Wulf snaps to attention, the back of his neck and space under his tongue burning as he shouts at the tendril taking Brad down into the depth, voice booming. ]


TIMŌRĪ!

[ Time halts, as an eclipse comes into fruition: the magic that has kept Wulf safe for so long becomes clear: time distortion-- luck manipulation. All this, with tools ill fitted for him in this position. Wulf discards the teeth and claws he's lived with for so long and starts anew for the sake of the Sage. ]

[ Wulf knows that it won't be him who makes the final shot, not when he has to strain just to hold the Calamity in place, let alone his environment. Failure here isn't an option, not with Brad suspended under the murky waters, not with the Sage cut off from two of their wizards: Wulf has to focus, so focus he does. ]

[ The image of a coin, not a moon, flips in the nightsky and lands fully alight, the magic surging through Wulf and into the Sage. With their guidance, with their promise, Wulf finishes his mantra. ]


Timōrī fortuna!

[ Brad will find himself freed of Wulf's time magics, along with the rest of the wizards under the Sage's care. The Calamity stays still for just long enough for the first barrage of combined power to strike it, the tentacle flailing and tossing Brad into the air. Not a graceful rescue, but a rescue nonetheless. ]
