Chapter 166: The Future of the Werewolves-2
Deep in the cradle of the Kii Mountains, morning light filtered through layers of cedar boughs... soft and golden,
like memory given form. The ground was damp with dew, rich with the scent of moss and pine. Birds called high
in the canopy, their cries echoing faintly beneath the thunderous voice of Nachi Falls, which plummeted down a
cliff face in the distance... its mist rolling like spirits across the valley floor.
A girl stood alone on a stone outcrop, still as carved jade, facing the falls. She was young, barely more than
seventeen, yet her presence commanded the space as if she had trained for lifetimes. Jet-black hair, long and
silken, was tied into a loose braid that danced behind her with every gust of wind. Her dark and luminous eyes
held a depth that belied her youth: half shadow, half fire. A pale flush graced her cheeks, kissed by the cold
mountain air.
The katana in her hands danced like an extension of her spirit. She wore a dark indigo keikogi, sleeves rolled to
her elbows, and a hakama that whispered with every step. Beneath the fabric, muscle and grace coiled together
like a wild creature tamed by discipline.
Her bare feet shifted on the stone like falling petals. Her sword flashed, a diagonal cut through the air... followed
by a seamless pivot, the blade arcing behind her like a silver crescent moon. She spun with perfect control, her
body sinking into a low stance before rising into an upward slash that sliced through the mist as though it feared
her.
A second breath, a second flurry.
She leapt in a blur of motion, her katana lifted overhead, then slammed downward into an invisible opponent.
The blade shimmered with mountain dew as it carved the air with a shrill hum. She landed light as snow, knees
bent, one hand extended behind her for balance. Her breaths were deep and rhythmic... a prayer learned in
blood and repetition.
Above her, the sunlight caught the droplets clinging to her blade, scattering tiny rainbows through the clearing.
She stood tall, chest rising and falling, hair clinging to her neck, face serene.
From the shadows beyond the trees, an elderly figure stepped forth.
He was tall. His white keikogi fluttered in the wind, his hair bound high and silver with age. His face bore the
solemn calm of a thousand winter dawns, yet there was warmth in his voice.
"You've mastered the rhythm," the old master said slowly, his sandals brushing through the fallen pine needles.
"Now... you must learn to play the silence between each strike."
The girl bowed deeply, sweat glistening on her brow. For a moment, even the howling of Nachi Falls seemed to
quiet. In that sacred space between mentor and student, praise was rare... but when spoken, it carried the
weight of entire lifetimes.
She was Izumi Tsuki Kuroda, Young Miss of the Kuroda Clan of Japan.

Deep within the emerald heart of the Amazon, where sunlight filtered down in trembling beams through a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcanopy older than time, the forest whispered its secrets. Vines hung like serpents from towering trees, their roots
snaking across moss-covered ground. Birds called to one another in bursts of colour and sound, while orchids
bloomed unseen in the shadows. The air was thick with life... damp, breathing, ancient.
Beneath this living cathedral, a girl moved like a shadow.
Her bare feet glided silently over roots and fallen leaves, never snapping a twig or disturbing the rhythm of the
forest. She wore almost nothing... just a wrap of woven fabric hugging her hips, and bands of feathers and bones
adorning her arms and ankles. Her bronze skin shimmered with sweat and moonlight, sleek as a panther’s coat.
Her body, lithe and honed like a weapon, moved with effortless poise, hips swaying with each silent step. Every
curve was sculpted in balance... sensual yet strong, soft yet feral, like the jungle itself.
Her face was a song of contrasts: sharp cheekbones kissed by the sun, full lips slightly parted, and eyes the
colour of wet earth after rain... dark, reflective, and full of vigour. She is Maira Arara Neblina, the wildflower of
the Amazon Werewolf Clan. To the animals, she was kin. To the forest, she was the daughter.
She halted as her golden eyes flashed toward a movement in the underbrush. Not twenty paces away, a cheetah
lifted its head. Its ears twitched. A breath passed between them.
Then it bolted.
And Maira followed.
The jungle erupted into motion. The cheetah darted like lightning through the undergrowth, kicking up leaves
and shattering the stillness. But Maira... barefoot, laughing softly under her breath... gave chase, her body slicing
through the trees with liquid instinct. She ducked under vines, leapt over roots, and twisted mid-air with the
precision of a predator born to the hunt. Her breath remained steady. Her muscles thrummed. Her heart beat in
twith the earth.
The cheetah ran as no creature should be able to... but Maira’s pursuit was relentless. Branches clawed at her
skin, drawing thin lines of red, but she didn’t slow. She wasn’t chasing to kill. She was chasing to conquer.
Minutes turned to half an hour, until sweat rolled down her back and her braid clung to her spine. Still, she
closed the distance.
At last, with a burst of impossible speed, she lunged.
The cheetah snarled and twisted mid-run... but she was already on it, wrapping her limbs around its body and
tumbling to the forest floor in a blur of fur and flesh. Leaves scattered. A bird shrieked overhead.
The surroundings fell into a serene silence.
Maira sat up, panting, her thighs clamped around the beast’s flanks, her hands gently stroking its trembling
sides. The cheetah hissed weakly, but did not resist. Slowly, cautiously, it lowered its head into her lap like a
stubborn child surrendering to a mother’s lullaby. She ran her fingers through its short golden coat, and the
cheetah whimpered once... then gave in.
Its eyes fluttered, half-closed.
"Easy now," she whispered, in the tongue of the forest.
There they sat beside the river... girl and beast, one wild heart beating against another. Around them, the jungle
watched in reverent hush, as if it, too, understood that this was not a moment of dominance, but of union.

High in the mist-veiled mountains, where clouds drifted like ancient spirits through the ridges, the rain fell... not
in torrents, but in a steady, silver curtain. Each droplet struck the stone and soil like the ticking of a timeless
clock. And within this quiet storm, a sword was dancing.
Joshua Cordillera, the rising star of the proud Cordillera Clan, stood bare-chested beneath the open sky. Rain
streaked down his muscled frame, carving rivulets along his skin, soaking into the loose black cloth tied around
his waist. His dark hair clung to his forehead, and his sharp as obsidian eyes remained fixed on a point only he
could see.
His blade moved, and the world seemed to breathe with him.
With a fluid motion, he spun into a
rising arc, the edge of his sword
slicing upward through the falling

Lightning flashed behind the mountains, illuminating the peaks like the edges of a sleeping dragon's wings. The
wind, heavy with the scent of pine and wet stone, swirled around him, but Joshua did not falter. He was stillness
in motion, serenity in power.

The forest watched in reverence. The trees bowed under the weight of rain, their leaves whispering with each
gust. The stones beneath his feet, polished smooth by years of weather, bore his weight as if they had long
awaited his return.
In that moment, Joshua wasn’t just training... he was communing. His sword sang with the rain. His breath rose
with the mist. And with each swing, he carved his soul into the mountain's memory.
