But not waiting for too long, Ronk cut off the branch I stuck with his ax, and put it back, making the wolf stop.

He said,

"Congratulations on activating one of the Wolf powers."

With the great surprise that I gained from all those events, I asked,

"One of my wolf powers?"

"This is the power you have, it's not such a simple power. It's called "Wolf Control". And it only works on leader wolves."

"Leaders? But how will it help me?"

"Although this power will help you in other situations, it allows you to ask for help from wolves in the most difficult situations. So focus on that power and make the most of it, son."

"Why is it necessary? Can't we focus on my other powers?"

"Because if you don't learn to control it yet, you won't have a chance with your other powers. And it doesn't take you to the future in any way."

It was very surprising that one of my wolf powers was already activated.

So I asked him again, 

"So how many forces are there in total?"

"There are three main forces, but we'll talk about them at home follow me."

Ronk and I got home after an hour of walking. The problem was that the Wolf followed us home. It was like a pet just like I imagined it to be. But it wasn't that much of a problem. It stopped in front of the house and waited there.

And because I couldn't control my power well, I couldn't order the Wolf to go back and such. I did the most logical thing to do, and I named him. My first pet, Max.

Maybe it was very weird for a human to have a pet wolf. But the wolf was very happy when I called him by that name. So we got along with each other and got connected in minutes. After that, I kept calling him Max, and we didn't hurt each other.

Ronk wasn't happy about it, but he said he wouldn't say anything until I could control my power. He said I had to focus even if I had to do something like this.

And when we got home, we lit the fire and ate, as usual. I threw two pieces of bone in front of Max, and sat beside Ronk to rest a little bit. 

At last, it was a difficult day.

"Ronk, the powers you're talking about today, what are the three main powers?" I asked Ronk as we got comfier.

He then sit properly and started explaining,

"Three main forces. It consists of wolf control, the claw of brutality, and endless howling."

He then added,

"First of all, wolf control. Wolf control is a power that will help you control the Wolves. It is something manipulative that will help you to gain more defense in battles. This way, even your blind spots will be covered with somebody who will protect you. Besides normal Wolves only take orders from alpha wolves and alpha wolves take orders from lineage people. Just like you. And if you can control your power like your father, you can control them all.

The second one. Claw of brutality. This power is something that can get you out of control when you lose so much blood. It takes control over your body, and just like a wolf, it turns you into a predator. And It only happens in extreme blood loss. So it's a very dangerous power and you have to do it when you have the smallest chances."

"But what happens if I can't? What will happen if I can't control it?"

"If you don't and If you can't control it, you will not notice good or bad. You will only attack the person in front of you. And that is something you don't want to do."

Talking about topics like these made me uneasy for a second. Because attacking someone very close to me was something I had a hard time thinking about. Even though I had no friends to lose, it was something that I had reconsidered, for the sake of my future.

And Ronk was doing his best to prepare me for it.

"And finally, "The Endless Howl". With this power, a man can be almost immortal. The endless howl grants you three hearts."

"Three hearts?"

"Exactly three hearts. Even if one disappears, the other one will be what keeps you alive."

"But isn't that something very powerful? And do other lineages have the same powers?"

"No, they're all different. Every lineage has its own power. And even though some can't reach immortality in a way like this, you can be sure they can compete head-to-head with you."

Something powerful as immortality. It sounded impossible, but if there were seventeen bloodlines in total, it was something normal. And their powers could have been scarier than mine.

So I asked Ronk more questions,

"Do you know anything about some lineages? Like how many lineages are there in total that people know about?"

"To the point of my memory that I can reach, there are seventeen lineages in total. But I only remember a few names."

He then added while trying to remember the names,

"Wolf bloodline, Destruction bloodline, Death bloodline, Assassin bloodline, Knight bloodline, Demon bloodline, Angel bloodline, and finally Dragon bloodline. They all have some sort of a creature-related name or a power, but some are more mysterious than we think. And these are just a few of them."

"They all have names presenting something. But are they all that powerful compared to the others?"

"They are more dangerous than the others, but the Wolf, destruction, and Dragon are the three most powerful lineages among them. People get terrified by them the most. But as you know, the Wolf Bloodline almost went extinct, if you have died."

"So there is nobody besides me, huh?"

"I have no knowledge about it, Kid. And even if I knew, I wouldn't do this to scare you or have fun. Knowing that you are alone, or lonely, is a priority that you must know. Because you can't know if it will make you stronger or weaker. But if you can cooperate with that idea, and move forward, you will have a better mindset than your enemies."

As Ronk said, even the thing I saw as my "Disadvantage" was something I could have turned into an "Advantage". And something that could make me more powerful than I was now.

"I understand." I said quietly looking down.

There were many lineages that I had no clue about, which they all had names like dangerous monsters. And if some of them even existed, it was going to be a big problem for me. Because like Pelena said before. If I did leave there, completing my trainings and reaching a level where I can travel by myself, I was going to see one or two of them.

And there was nothing to do, besides entering more and more trainings.

So I looked at Ronk, and gave him a very serious look,

"Ronk, I will awaken all my powers, no matter what."

He looked at me for a second. He then brushed it off with,

"We'll see about that."
