Hearing that Ahadi and Azreal looked towards the voice, looking over both of them spoke in unison.
"Azan?"
Taking a step back Ahadi returned to his humanoid form and looked at his nephew.
"This is the Azreal who saved you?"
Hearing the question as well as witnessing what was just happening Azan nodded hesitantly, seemingly unsure of what to do.
"Yes….?, what's going on?"
Azan looked at the collapsed tomb in shock, directing his attention towards Azreal.
He didn't need to ask who's fault this was since Azreal was the only outsider here, following Azan's gaze everyone looked at Azreal even Ahadi, this was someone who saved his nephew before he was just a stranger who destroyed the tomb of the most important member of their tribe, at the very least he could listen to him and if he wasn't satisfied then they could always continue.
Azreal, on the other hand, remained in his fire protected state but seeing all eyes on him Azreal recounted everything that happened leading up to the tomb raiding and what happened during, even subtly placing emphasis on Xavious appearance and the fact that he placed the Exploding Crystals at the top of the tomb while escaping with the sword, everything Xavious did and said overall he placed emphasis on.
All along he never mentioned anything about his findings when he mentioned the room he found.
When Ahadi heard the entire story in fell into deep thought.
"You don't need to keep your guard up, you saved my nephew, so for now we have a temporary ceasefire until we find out if you're speaking the truth"
After saying that he closed his eyes falling deep into thought, a few wolves walked around the fire and went inside, with Ahadi's reluctant permission even Nala managed to sneak in.
Coming back out they were able to confirm some of what Azreal said with what remained of the tomb.
"How did you get into this room?"
Azreal was slightly surprised when he heard the calm and aloof voice, turning his attention to the source he met upon two bright purple eyes, which left him stunned It took Azreal moment to come back to reality after he got lost in them.
"A wolf paw, Xacious used it to open the tomb from a little hill, it should be under the rubble somewhere"
Azreal knew this wasn't a good lie but it was better than taking it out of his space ring because if it was revealed that he had one he'd probably have to empty it to prove that he wasn't the one that stole the sword and if he did that it would show that he stole other stuff and that would just lead to unnecessary complications.
"Show me where"
Once again he heard Nala's aloof voice, Azreal avoid eye contact with her afraid that it might be some sort of technique.
Azreal hesitantly dismissed the fire and with a wave of his had the fire that was slowly spreading out disappeared, still a little remained on his body, shrugging he walked back inside to where the rubble sealed the hole he fell through, Nala remained at the doorway of the room not going into the passage where she'd be at a disadvantage.
Stooping down Azreal started sifting through the rocks on the ground seriously like he was really looking for something, grabbing onto a good sized rock Azreal started pulling it out once it came loose he made a quick switch tossing the rock inside and pulling out the paw.
Turning around Azreal started dusting it off, looking up at Nala her purple eyes seemed to see everything but Azreal kept his cool, as long as he didn't make any wrong moves he was fine.
When he got close she stepped out of the way allowing him to pass.
Outside Azreal handed the paw to Ahadi, looking at the paw he gritted his teeth.
"Let's go"
Turning around he walked away, leaving Azreal slightly confused, were they letting him go? Just like that?
From behind Azan slightly pushed him forward with his nose, sighing Azreal walked forward.
When he got to the town he was surprised because of how big it was, it was a wonder how he didn't notice it from before.
As he walked through the town the wolf people would stop what they were doing and stared, especially because he was currently completely named but because of his body structure his genitalia wasn't exposed so he didn't mind, it took the wolves a while to notice Nala and Ahadi the Alpha, they immediately fell to their knees when they noticed them.
"What are they doing?" Azreal asked Azan.
"Uncle Ahadi is the Alpha for the entire Empyrean wolf pack and Cousin Nala is set to be the next Alpha" as Azan spoke he used his eyes to indicate each person.
Azreal look at each of them, surprised that they were the ones that left the deepest impact, he didn't particularly care for any of them, especially the alpha and the only thing that caught his attention on Nala was her eyes.
"Do you know where we're going?"
Azan shook his head in response.
"Nothing like this has ever happened before"
Azreal remained quiet for quite a while but the awkward silence was oddly getting to him and it didn't seem like they were getting close to their destination.
"Why does your uncle look like that? He's slightly stronger than me but I thought you had to be a lot stronger before you could take a semi-human form?"
Think for a while Azan shook his head.
"I don't know it's something people in my family have always been capable of"
Saying that Azan's body transformed a fourteen to fifteen-year-old with purple hair, walking with his chest puffed out, just like his uncle he had horns growing out of his head but his weren't as big.
This surprised Azreal, he couldn't help but wonder what made them so special as well as wonder what kind of body would fit those purple eyes.
"We're here"
