Chapter 76

He had done it just once in the past, but the Wolf God remembered it as if it was yesterday. The previous time he experienced completely different emotions, though. Back then, he still had hope and thought that he was fighting for a better future. Moreover, Fenrir believed he was the one building it. The life of his dreams was just one step away, and his happiness was so close he could almost touch

Everything was different now. It wasn’t his war, and his kind lived for so long without his presence that it seemed he did not have a place here anymore. Fenrir did not see the point in this war. Or any other for that matter. No war in the centuries he existed made anyone happy. He knew it better than anyone. He won so many of those in the past, but he was still as broken and empty as ever. To the point of not caring anymore.

Years and years ago, he left the fighting to the mortals and resigned from his obligations to live in solitude. Every day of his life was torture, and he couldn’t do this anymore. So he left for a place where nobody else wanted to reside and stayed there.

But today, something changed for him. Today he couldn’t stand and watch his wolves die when they fought so hard. He had seen “The hope and stubbornness in them that resonated with his inner pain. He was sure that he would walk away and forget about it as he tried to forget everything else so many times. Just another thing to add to a long list.

He couldn’t do it, though.

They reminded him of his younger self. Fierce believers were ready to die for the cause, and Fenrir couldn’t help but admire each of them. Even if he’d never admit it out loud.

He was especially impressed by the two Lycan kings, by the way they worked as one team, by how they managed to unite species who usually hated each other under their joint flag.

They did not need anyone. They did not need him. If Jor hadn’t interjected himself into this problem, they would have never needed him.

However, his brother had to interfere with the mortals. He had to try and erase his kind from the face of the Earth. Even after so long, he was still holding his grudge. He couldn’t let it go and move on.

And now Fenrir had no choice in this matter.

Because it wouldn’t be fair to the ones who bravely fought in this war. They didn’t give up protecting what was right. They didn’t even start the war. Lycans, werewolves, cats, witches and birds tried to defend their lives at whatever cost.

A part of him was still hesitating, but deep inside, Fenrir knew what he had to do..

The Call.

The divine weapon in his hand, which once belonged to his grandfather and that became his after he killed the King among Gods, made his fingers tingle. The ancient magic recognised its owner and begged him to wield it, to summon it. It was desperate to be unleashed.

Fenrir swore loudly. He had already broken his own rule creating a new Amarok, and now he was about to make it even worse. The spear disappeared in his arms, returning into his body as pure power. This was also something he tried to avoid.

But here goes nothing.

The decision had already been made, and he knew he wouldn’t change his mind even if it would be the last thing that he would do. Everything felt so different now, and he couldn’t explain why.

He shifted into his primordial form and raced to one of the hills towering over the battlefield.

Slowly stepping out of the darkness of the northern forest, Fenrir knew that this was his last chance to leave and avoid the mess that his decision would cause. warm.

However, this was the right thing to do.

A few wolves below noticed him, shocked by his presence. It was hard to take him for someone else due to his size. Even Amarok was much smaller by comparison, and no one had any doubts about what they were witnessing now.
