Soren sat guard all night, but after defeating the werewolves that had entered into their makeshift camp, it didn't appear any intruders would come again. He had slouched down along the side of the cave near where Skadi was sleeping and dozed off himself. When he awoke it was morning and Skadi was already dressed. "Thank you for adjusting my cloths, its not the greatest work but it'll do. I will probably have to commission armor in addition to a weapon now," Skadi explained. Soren nodded as they were packing up camp, the two left the cave and began their trek down the mountain pass. After a few hours they were sitting down on a small out cropping of rock taking break, when they heard a mix of whimpering and crying to the east of their location. Curious the two ventured off the path to investigate the source of the noise and ten minutes later came across a woman, naked in the fetal position, covered in wounds.
[Inspect]
"She's in rough shape," Soren said reaching into his bag, though Skadi was ready to interject, "You want to save someone that attacked us last night?"
"This girl didn't attack us, the ones that had attacked us would of all had sword wounds, she is all clawed up like she got into a fight with one of her own kind."
Soren laid her on her back and administered one of the healing potions from his inventory to her, immediately the wounds began to close and the color to her skin was returning. Now that she wasn't covered in wounds he took a good admiring look at her, she was quite the beautiful woman. She was roughly five foot nine with a skin tone that resembles the moonlight. Her she had dirty blonde hair that mid back length, her chest was well endowed albeit smaller than Skadi's. Tempest now lay on the ground sleeping Skadi had taken off her travelers cloak and draped it over her. Soren peered out of the corner of his eye at Skadi who definitely caught him. However, contrary to his belief, Skadi seem to be unfazed by it and just smirked at Soren. After giving her a quizzical look she simply explained at first logically but finished almost threateningly, "Women to want to sire strong children, as a strong man, and a man who can make others stronger, it is up to you whom you pass your gifts onto. Just remember I am the FIRST wife."
Soren was even more bewildered by the statement, 'She did not disapprove of multiple wives but she was also jealous, I've never known many women before, and now that I've spent so much time with one I'm afraid I'm more confused than before.' After a couple more minutes they were getting ready to pack up Tempest started to stir, she was confused for a moment noticing that there was a cloak over her then she sat up rapidly using her arm to keep the cloak from falling down looking at the two in front of her. Scowling Tempest asked while looking at Soren, "Did you see?"
"See what," he replied as he looked up and to the right avoiding eye contact with the girls beautiful amber eyes.
"Pervert."
Soren flushed angrily, 'YOU WERE NAKED HOW IS THAT MY FAULT!'
Breathing slowly he regained his composure enough to inquire, "How did you end up in your current predicament?" Her eyes grew a bit teary eyed and looked away Soren was unsure if she was going to respond at all when she muttered, "Cause I'm cursed."
"Cause you're werewolf? Or cause you're a beta?"
Her eyes widened with shock, "You knew?"
"I did, we were also attacked by werewolves last night."
"That wasn't me though, but to answer your questions both."
"I know it wasn't you, that's why we helped you, but what do you mean both can you elaborate?"
"Even if it wasn't me, it wasn't exactly our fault the moon makes us go berserk, even though we retain our memories from the events its like we are taken over by an uncontrollable force. I say both because I am the daughter of the regional alpha and a beta werewolf. I have yet to evolve into a lycanthrope and when I challenged a peer for a pack alpha position not only was I beaten but they ganged up on me."
"Wait...what's the difference between werewolf and lycanthrope aren't they the same?"
"People use them as if they're the same, but one of the major differences is werewolves are people that change into a quadrupedal wolf during a full moon, where lycanthrope are bipedal almost humanoid are much larger and stronger. They also can use all four limbs to move around but it's an option not a design."

"So what now? Are you gonna return to your pack?"
Her eyes filled with tears it was a fear she had kept inside of her, and it was paining her all the more now that she had to put words to it, "I don't know...I no longer have a home. When the pack ganged up on me I was supposed to die, and I would have without your intervention. One thing is clear though, they don't want me in the pack with them and I am not strong enough to challenge for the pack alpha position."
A large volume of wind escaped the lips of Skadi as she sighed. "What was that for," asked Soren.
"You were gonna invite her to join our group were you not?"
Tempest looked up and a bright smile spread across her lips, she was incredibly lost and now she may have a direction, who knows what she would get to experience when traveling around with these kind strangers. "You're gonna invite me to join you even though you know what I am, " Tempest asked.
Soren nodded and introduced himself, "My name is Soren and this is Skadi. I'll let you know what you're getting yourself into right now so you can make your decision." He then explained about his revenge mission and how he was in great pursuit of strength also for his challenge of the other "God" classes that may come after him. "I want to make myself the daughter my father could be proud of, I want to pursue strength above all else but in my own way. Please let me come with you," Tempest had pleaded.
Yes
"Well I was worried about you going through the pass by yourself, but since you now have another person going with you I can begin my journey back to Illyria to get my weapon and armor, " Skadi announced.
"If you're going back to Illyria see Irene the black smith, she's an elf and her work is impressive you won't be disappointed. Would you be able to do me one favor while you're there?" Soren asked, "Stop by the Twilight Dragon guild saying you want to join that Soren sent you and he has another member to join but she'll have to go through the official process later."
Skadi agreed and right before she started walking off explained, "After I get my equipment and master these spells in this book I'll come find you should take around a month or so." As her silhouette got smaller and smaller Soren decided it was time to continue heading towards the City on the Border to find his nemesis.
"Well since you're traveling with me will you share your status with me so I can see how to best coordinate ourselves," instructed Soren. Without further prompting Tempest shared her status, she look away shamefully. Her father was the regional alpha while she was pitiful and weak.
