It that odd, half-awake state, Iblis dreamed. Flashes of days gone by passed through his vision and with each one his paws gave a little twitch. He remembered Fatality and corpse Iblis had found her chomping on. He had fought her and she had taken a part of his ear as a trophy. Another flash and Iblis watched Atreyu attack young Alloette again. He tried to stop her, suffering grave wounds, but was unsuccessful. He was able to fend off the bigger wolfess, but he couldn't save the child from the grave wounds she had suffered. With this dream, came a deep growl. He could hear Atreyu talking, but the voice didn't sound the same. It was hard to make out what she was saying and he bared his teeth at her. To the strange wolf with the herbs, Iblis must have looked so strange as he dreamed. Another flash and there was Illuminada being held hostage by Abraxus. Iblis walked beside Heyel to free her. She had been his first love... And she was gone. Iblis whimpered in his sleep and practically begged for the dreams to stop.

Someone was talking. Iblis' ears twitched as they tried to make sense of what was being said, but it was all muffled. Slowly, the loner became more and more aware of the fact he was not alone. There was a strange scent and that voice... it was still there. A deep growl echoed from his chest, a warning to whoever was there he was not to be messed with. Finally, dark brown eyes fluttered open to gaze up at a white wolf he had never seen before. At once, he was on the defensive and showed his teeth. But her wagging tail and gentle voice seemed to suggest she was a friend, not a foe. Iblis moved to get a better view and yelped in pain as his wounds pulled and bled.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Iblis asked. He hadn't noticed the little seed next to him that was meant to dull the pain. Nor had he bothered to notice the fact that this wolfess was trying to help him. "Get out of here! I don't need another wolf to kill." Blinded by pain, Iblis wasn't himself and it was up to the healers of the free lands to help him get back to health before winter and blood loss killed him.
