**Day 2**



*at the Einstein/Bengal household, Lucas was out training his skills*

Lucas: *blasts a few balls of aura at a target dummy* Not good enough...I need to build my strength and agility to be on par with folks like the Knave.

Will: *spawns in front of Lucas* Lucas, listen. It's not good to push yourself to the point of death.

Lucas: But I have to push myself to my limits. That fight with the Knave taught me that I'm a mere mortal, and despite going above the realm of the gods, I'm not strong enough! But, you're right...I need a rest.

*as soon as he comes outside, he sees a grey lycan the same age as him, wearing a black shirt, blue shorts, and some sort of armor, as well as having a large sword behind his back*

????: Hello, Lucas.

Lucas: What the...who are you?

????: I am Lothaire. I will be your new rival. Expect to see more of me in your adventures. *leaves*

Lucas: *shakes his head* What the heck was that?

Will: What did you see?

Lucas: I saw...a lycan...that was around my age. He had grey fur, a black shirt, blue shorts, and some sort of armor on.

Will: Okay, wow. That IS weird.

Lucas: I have a suspicion that I'm gonna have another rival besides Morton.
