Ares had just heard the news about Claudette's birth to two healthy pups, who were also Ares'. As he got closer to the den, there were too many loups in the entrance. "Hey! Father coming through!" Ares shouted. "Ares?" Claudette asked from inside.

"Yes, it's me!" He said. As he made his way in the den, what he saw was horrifying. Claudette was blood soaked, panting, and her eyes were barely open. "Oh no... are toi okay Claudette? Whats wrong?" He urged.

"I... they didn't tell you? This birth has been very hard..." she shivered. "And Nabara doesn't know if i'll make it." She panted. "Oh... Claudette... please promise me toi won't die? Not after everything?" He pleaded.

"Shh..... it's fine. I'm ready, and if I go... just let me... don't make it harder for me, please..." she asked.

"Okay. I promise. What are their names?" He asked.

"The black one is a female, she takes after you, with a black pelt. The other one, with a tan pelt takes after... me. Its a male. His name is Herin. The female is Xeses. Ahh..... toi have no idea how hard... it is to talk right... now." She panted.

Ares started to get worried when her breathing started to get slower, untill she only took a breath every couple of seconds. "Claudette? Claudette! No!!! Nabara! Someone! Help!" Ares yelled. Nabara came in the den, holding some sort of leaf.

"Claudette, breath in as heavily as toi can, and as rapidly as toi can, now." She ordered. Claudette tried, but she was breathing so quietly and slowly now. "No Nabara. I'm fine. Let me go... Ares... please... promise to be a... good father...? I can't bare... to know... that... they didn't grow... up... right..." her voice trailed off. "Don't worry, I will. Claudette? Claudette! NO! HELP HER! DON'T LET HER DIE! PLEASE!" Ares screamed. "Ares, i'm sorry... there's nothing I can do..." Nabara told him. "She's gone. And toi have to let her go."

"No! I'm not going to let her go! Save her, ou die!" Ares ordered. "Ares... there is no healing a dead body. I cannot do anything. Go on, kill me. There's nothing I can do. Go on." She said.

Ares landed a hard, solid swipe-uppercut to her throat, and it was all over. Nabara and Claudette were both gone. Everyone wataching gasped. "Ares is a murderer! He killed Nabara! Get him!" A few yelled.

"Oh... what have I done?" Ares muttered as he ran away, out the back of the tanière, den and into the forest, taking his pups with him. He could hear loups chasing him, but he didn't turn around, didn't care.

When he was sure he wasn't being followed anymore, he set Xeses and Herin on the stone, right in front of a small broken down den.

"Oh... Claudette! What have I done? Who am I? Please help!" Ares yelled into the sky.
