When Zeus got inside and saw Kane come he smiled wide and bowed in what seemed to be true respect. The godly wolf chuckled to himself once before the interrogation started. Amir was the first to bite him and give the god a few more war scars. He just loved how three wolves came to interrogate him, each one of them with different goals, but surely all respecting Amir for some reason, to let him live up until now. He was happy to take the first bites and give the answer to Amir. A prophecy. Amir was a target because of a prophecy, but it had a little deeper meaning to him.

They watched as Amir asked and Zeus observed them, making sure to point his muzzle towards them both to show them that he was watching, that he analyzed them even from his place he was still doing his things and for a captured wolf he was too confident. When the question about his family comes up, Zeus smiles and gets up, knowing that Amir wouldn’t be able to force those answers from him, showing his strength to Amir and once again, defeating him.

The god looks at Achilles, hearing his growl and showing his neck to him. Amir pricked his ears forward, confused and for a moment his heart beat faster. He needed him! But Amir didn’t move, only shuffled on his three paws, holding the broken one closer to his chest. But it wasn’t the time. Achilles latched onto his paw and Zeus growled and whined in pain.

- Aaargh!! Oh, come on! Aargh!!

He whined and threw his head towards the other direction. The pain of fracture, a snap would be clearly felt in Achilles’ jaws. Zeus adjusted his balance before falling to sit and pull his leg up, keeping it from touching the ground.

- Your bite is stronger than the Fox's… If you ever wanted to compare. - he stated, panting - Waaait, wait…You want to know where Zen and Emerald are, right? And you want to know about your family; Which is useless in my opinion. Which question should I answer first... Well, what about the Fox's? He is the one handicapped anyway so he got the preference.

Zeus stated, obviously killing some time. He needed to and he had to do it. Amir, taking one step forward.

- Your family was royal. Both your mother and father were children of alphas. Carol, your mother and Hunter, your father. My dad defeated yours for the throne of his first pack before I was even born.

Years later, I took the throne from my father and Hunter came to me. He built his own pack after losing his first to my dad. He tried for an alliance, but I found out about the legend before he could trick me into his honorable wolf talk. The shadow walker - A wolf whose paws have been stained black for walking through difficult times - would take my life. As you may have guessed, you both look exactly the same. You even fight in the same way.

He started a war telling me that my reign of terror was over. As if I was anything like my father.

As always, we won. Your dad fought bravely, but died by my jaws in the battlefield. Only later… I found out that there was a little wolf who was his son. Carol ran away after the war. I chose to ignore that and take the foreseer for crazy. Until a wolf called Vague crossed my borders with the scent of none other than the Shadow Walker and just like that the legend was alive again. I kept him in my pack for a little bit more, but he wouldn't tell me where you or your mother were. My mistake was to spare his life.

Wolves started questioning me and there was separation of the pack, wars. Who would could tell that one simple scent would do all of this. I don’t know what happened to your mother, Amir. But there it is. I do not believe in destiny, but what I know is that my pack left me because they did. So… to prove the foreseer wrong, I must kill you or... Simply be killed by someone else. And I rather prefer killing you.

He took some time explaining everything, being dramatic at points. But Amir listened to all his words and as everything fell in place like it was all supposed to happen that way, he even wondered if the god was lying, but there. It explained everything. This feeling that made him want to be always the leader, the guide. The story of Vague and why he did what he did. Why Vague was captured and why he had no home. Amir took a step back lowering his head. Zeus was right, it was all because of him.

-Now you want Zen and Emerald? - the god proceeded, looking at Achilles - I’ll have to say no to that. You see, they are the ones keeping me alive and if I give them to you, my game here will end. No… You don’t want that. So to make everything more fun, we could have a deal. What you think? You free me, with no more wounds and I'll give them back, alive and well. Or… Keep me here and they'll die. Two lives for mine. Would've been three if that boy hadn't escaped.

He smiled and laughed.

- I have a theory. You keep calling me crazy, insane. But I know for a fact that you're just like me. So I built this… Ecosystem to prove this theory of mine.

If you take me away from this ecosystem all becomes chaos. Who will be the one feeding them? Taking care of them? Well, with their leg marked by my jaws and low food... No need to worry about them trying to escape, isn't it genious?

And one little detail. I’m not alone, little king. Wolves will come for me and I suggest you be prepared.

The god laughed and looked at them, seeing their reaction to his master plan. Everything started and it was a matter of time before everything really turned to chaos. Time was running already and two lives were on the edge. It was time to play Zeus’ game.
