Jeremy, Hel, Socks, and Onyx make it to the Faceless City. It was beautiful at night. As they walk to the stadium, Socks gets the snacks. Jeremy's wolf starts laughing

Jeremy: What is so funny?

Jeremy's wolf: So far we've heard of Giants, colossus worms, Queen Bees, and a four toed snake. What's next a drag...

His wolf gets cut off by a dragon flying over the stadium. Jeremy's eyes gets wide as he's shocked

Hel: Better watch what you say wolf. You just might get it

Jeremy: There are many different creatures here. Are they all here to see your sister's concert?

Hel: Yup. This year is going to be great

Jeremy: Can't wait to hear what kind of music she's going to be playing

They make their way to the garden part of the stadium. Jeremy and his wolf see the many people and creatures that are there

Jeremy's wolf: What the hell are those things?

Jeremy: I don't know what you see or speak of wolf; can you be more specific?

Hel: Come on Mr. Jeremy. We have a place to sit down at

He nods but can't stop looking at everyone, getting distracted by them all. They were things you'd see and hear in books, games, and all above everything else

Hel: Seems like you are distracted

Jeremy: It's just... I can't believe this is even real

Onyx: You better believe it sir

Jeremy: So Onyx, Hel was telling me about Xata's landscape and the other areas. Have you ever been to any of them?

Onyx: No but I want to. I have seen the four lands that protect her landscape. Believe me as much as I want to go, it's not something I should go to. There's a monster there that's hard to fight I've heard

Jeremy's wolf: Great another monster

Jeremy: A monster?

Hel: Guardians Onyx. They are called Guardians. They keep Master Xata's home safe. Master Xata's land is one of the biggest and only those who are brave to take on the challenge make it to the promise land of the war shifter

Onyx: Well we better get to our seats, the concert is going to start soon

They all go to the top podium and sit down. Jeremy sees big the stadium is

Jeremy: Wow this place is amazing. Look at everyone here. It's strange to think that keeping our kind a secret for years to keep us safe, but this? Incredible. It's incredible to believe all of this

Onyx: There is so much to believe Mr. Jeremy. So much has been created from Master Xata. She made this possible and we are truly thankful for that. As for you; how are you feeling?

Jeremy: Feeling better now. Still feel guilty about I did to Z. I mean what my wolf almost made me do. I just want to go home to my family but I can't until Z's done training me

He slumps back into his chair and looks up at the skylight. There was more than one moon but it was beautiful

Hel: It's lovely isn't it?

Jeremy: it is. I would have never thought of seeing something like this

Socks: Hey Jinx is on stage!

Jeremy looks forward and sees Jinx and her band on stage. Everyone starts cheering

Jinx: Welcome back to the garden everyone!

The crowd cheers louder

Jinx: It has been some time but we are here and happy to share the music with you all and with the worlds outside our landscape!

Jeremy: So there are also many worlds outside this landscape?

Hel: Yes, one of many. You would be shocked by how many there are

Jinx goes behind the DJ booth and gets the song ready. It's "Don't Fear The Reaper " by Blue Oyster Cult

"All of our time has come
Here but now they're gone
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper) "

Jeremy starts to think of the song as a death wish. He starts to think of what would happen if Z gave up on him and let's him stay as this untamed wolf so he could tear his family apart as punishment for all the cruel things he's done to her. The song is soothing but hurts to think about the reality of it. The hand of the reaper to tell you, you can't escape death

"We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man (don't fear the reaper)
La, la, la, la, la... La, la, la, la, la..."

Jeremy looks at his hands and sees the wolf nails. He hears silence from his wolf and focuses on the song as it fills the room

"Valentine is done
But now they are gone
Romeo and Juliet
And together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday

Jeremy feels a hand on his shoulder. It's Onyx

Onyx: Do you want to sit outside and talk about it?

Jeremy: Yes. I need some air

Onyx nods as they leave the stadium. Once outside, Jeremy sits down. Onyx sits next to him

Onyx: Are you okay Mr. Jeremy?

Jeremy: the song Jinx was singing. Don't get me wrong it's a good song but it makes me worry about my family and what Hel told me of what was coming to my doorstep

Onyx: if you need some time alone, I can go

Jeremy: No, please stay. I need someone to talk to and your company is good. You've been very patient with me; are you always like this?

Onyx: Yes. That's my role. It's in my village name to do that. Here, we love to be honest. Let me know if you need time to yourself to calm down

Jeremy: Thank you Onyx. Really thank you

Onyx: Your welcome Mr. Jeremy

Jeremy's wolf: You know? This place doesn't seem so bad after all. It should be interesting to see what happens for the next few days

Jeremy: We'll just have to see but we have a family to take care of

Jeremy's wolf: It will be quite some time until we see them again. You know that right?

Jeremy: Yes don't fucking remind me damnit

Jeremy's wolf: Just reminding you, you have a long journey ahead to get back to them

Jeremy glares then looks away

Onyx: You should relax and stop over thinking everything. When we go back inside just focus on Jinx's music and it'll calm you, your wolf, and you mind down and help you not think of the negative things

He nods then stands up

Jeremy: Let's head back in then

Onyx gets up as well and nods. They both go back to the stadium
